Rise Coffee & Bakery makes it easy to pair a good cup of coffee with something fresh from the pastry case. I went with a buttery croissant and a cinnamon roll, along with a latte. The croissant had delicate, flaky layers, while the cinnamon roll was soft with just enough sweetness. I also liked having a few baked options to choose from instead of the usual packaged snacks found at some coffee shops. It’s a handy place to grab breakfast or take a pastry along for later, especially when you want something simple with your coffee.

Thanks for sharing a 5-star review! We love being a coffee shop AND a made-from-scratch-every-day bakery! We're with you - nothing better than coffee and freshly baked pastries. Next time you're in, give our cupcakes a try - Simply Strawberry and Cookies & Cream are two of our customers favorites!
I’m so glad I stumbled upon this lovely little shop while visiting Austin. I was celebrating a birthday and there happened to be a case of beautiful and delicious cup cake. The staff was very friendly. Thank y’all!

Thanks for the review Erin! As parents ourselves, we know how important it is to keep little ones engaged! We love seeing your littles play cupcake games at Rise! We hope to see you on your next visit soon!
Very cozy! Very cute! The workers were so friendly! Their speciality is cupcakes. Their mini cupcakes are super affordable. You could buy multiple and try all the flavors.

The cupcakes are amazing! Very sugary I might add. The place is so cute and aserhetic perfect for studying, hanging out. I servers are so nice! 5 stars would recommend. (Btw much better than Crumbl cookie)
Lillian, we're so glad you enjoyed the cupcakes, service, and ambiance at Rise! We have a rotating menu and hope you can come back on another day and try our other flavors - Black Cherry and Peach Cobbler are two of our fall favorites!
My first visit to Rise Bakery. Cool spot if you're looking for a bright, clean, and welcoming space to start your morning. I like the modern, airy atmosphere which made it easy catch up on a little work and meet some friends. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, which added a warm neighborhood feel. I did not eat so can't comment on food. Sure like looked good. I had a cappuccino which was genuinely great, smooth and well-crafted. To me most important it was not too hot. I always hate the burning hot capps you can't drink for 30 minutes! I highly recommend Rise if you're in the area.
