On the Rise Bakery

My dad and I really like this place! Anytime we visit it’s always clean and the employees are very pleasant! They have a nice variety of pastries to choose from (my favorite is the pineapple upside down cake) and the portions are huge. No kidding, the cookies are larger than my hand! They also carry fresh bread and delicious sandwiches. I’m going to keep going to this place, it’s nice to have fresh food and a welcoming atmosphere in the community!

I love this place. Delicious baked goods, friendly staff, and I love the background story of this place. Definitely check them out.

Their cinnamon roles are AMAZING! The store of how this place started and the men that work there makes their baked goods even better. I will be a life long customer!

Great service, and tasty cinnamon raisin bread and upside-​down pineapple cake. I suggest making a stop here for a coffee and snack; and help out an energetic grassroots business doing great things.

I have nothing but good things to say about this place:
[1] One of very few places in the area where you can get fresh food.
[2] Very affordable. I got two muffins, a brownie and a (day-​old) loaf of bread for less than $ 6. The guy even threw in a free cup of coffee.
[3] Very, very clean inside. You will need a white glove to find a speck of dirt.
[4] Providing jobs for rehabilitated ex-​cons and, by the way, the staff are probably the most professional people I have ever encountered.

This is an amazing place with a great story. To start lets talk about the atmosphere. Its clean, and contemporary which is nice. because of it’s history they could definitely benefit from some art pieces done by local artists.
The service was amazing. I was greeted by a man who was excited to help, but thats not where the experience ended. he gave us a run down on the history and reasoning of the place. The bakery is owned by the Capuchin soup kitchen. It is operated by men who have just been released from jail. It is designed to give these men a second chance at life. They train them and even teach them ways to use their money so that they do not have to revert back to their past ways. Its a beautiful story and one you should hear from the men there that are passionate about it… in other words, visit!
I love this place and will visit every chance i get!

Capuchin deserves a round of applause. Their commitment to helping the individuals staffing this café is what the city needs more of (
). The staff was especially warm, friendly, and funny, and made us feel comfortable for the duration of our stay. Mega-​quick service, too. Went to the new location, which is beautiful, and had a hot turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mustard sandwich that was really, really good. Also left with a great loaf of bread (cinnamon raisin) and donuts, both of which were excellent. I’ll for sure be stopping in at least once a month. The mission of On the Rise deserves support by itself, but the bakery items and food make it a must.
