Rise Bakery

The first time I went to Rise was back in 2019, when I was interning in DC. For someone with celiac disease, 100% gluten free restaurants and bakeries are a gift from the heavens. The first sandwich I ever got was good enough for me to become a long-time customer, but their cinnamon roll sealed the deal. I went back many times during my internship. I moved back to the DC area recently and I’ve already been back once and I know that I’ll have to restrain myself. Seriously, gluten-free or not, you will love this little hidden gem.

Found this basketry while walking in DC and really enjoyed it. I am not gluten intolerant but always love a bakery. We tried several things and everything was pretty tasty. Loved the vanilla cupcake, wouldn't get the strawberry lemonade cupcake again. My partner tried a flavored cheesecake and the cream cheese brownie. He didn't have any complaints 🙂

Absolutely, great friendly staff. They greet us with a smile on every visit! We love their selections. There are other GF bakeries closer to our home, but Rise Bakery is always worth the trip. We're from the Metropolitan area originally, and Posh Pop (NYC) is our normal go-to bakery when we are back home with family. So, finding Rise Bakery was/is a pleasant surprise! They have GF, SF, NF, and Vegan options all in one place!!! You should also try their breakfast and lunch options as well. Enjoy and leave a message in their box.

Absolutely amazing. I rarely get to walk into a place, especially a bakery, where I don't have to ask them to take special measures to keep me from getting horribly sick. No asking to read ingredients list, no special menu, no back-of-the-mind worry that this may be the place that glutens me and causes me to spend the next day barely able to get out of bed. They have cake, bread, donuts, brownies, tiramisu, hot sandwiches, cold sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, and more. I bought way more than I can eat and I'm currently fighting a sugar coma while in airport security and it was worth all of it. I'm pretty sure this place supplies GF bread for local (high end) restaurants as well. I'm so glad this place exists, and can't wait to come back the next time I'm in town. Thank you, folks, and I hope your business continues to boom.

Goodness gracious. How is it that I've never left a review? Let's get to it! When the feeling takes me and I need a good baked good,I wake up before 7am (bc it's an hour away from me)and head into DC to the only place that will give me what I've been craving. I usually grab a few bagels, a chocolate croissant and - if they have it - a scone. It's always worth it to me. I have a few yummy things to choose from when I head to work each morning and I feel like a human. Who doesn't love a good bagel or a pastry?! I have - ALWAYS. Especially growing up in New York City. The fact that I could no longer eat gluten had me depressed until I found this place. The bagel taste CONSISTENCY is the best I've found so far. Thank you all for existing! See you soon!

Great gluten free bakeshop in the area. Pastries are so good, better than my hometown gf bake shop (NJ). I took one star due to their packaging. The cupcakes icing shifted towards the other cupcakes after driving 20 minutes. I wish they come up with better containers. Also price is a bit much for the size.

Stunning. Delicious. Wish I could come here every single day. The biscuits are the perfect textures. The croissant are also very good. The only request is to make the space have a few chairs and tables! The “office” in the front is awkward and such a waste of space. Totally would have stayed for more but there wasn’t a good place to relax and enjoy.

Rise expanded their gluten free options, it’s great to see breakfast sandwiches and frozen bread on the menu. They were out of smoked salmon early Sunday afternoon so out breakfast options were somewhat limited. Suggestion: add (maybe optional) egg and even better, also smoked salmon to the avocado toast!

We happened upon this fantastic gluten-free bakery near the National Zoo, due to a mention on one of the maps. We just had to check it out, even though it was a few blocks from out destination. We were not disappointed that we did! The AGM was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the gluten-free goodies we got were fantastic! It's always a nice surprise to run across a gluten-free shop and enjoy what they have to offer to boot. Great find and if you are in DC, you must check it out!
