They fully stock fresh breads (lots of varieties) on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays (at least that's what the gentleman working told us). The take and bake almond croissants were delicious! On Saturdays they stock freshly baked ones if you don't want to cook on your own. Homemade granola is also very tasty. Went back for more before heading home from vacation in the area.

I recommend mobile ordering ahead if you want specific items, they were running short on a lot of things. For what it's worth, the food is good. There's a man working there who was extremely rude to us. My mom is French, and was delighted to see a French comic book displayed on the countertop. She asked about it, and the man sort of shrugged and said "oh, that? it's not special." Jeez the smile fell immediately on my mom's face. It was special to her, dude. I ordered toast, and the cashier asked him if he could make toast. He scoffed, rolled his eyes hard at me, and gave me a withering stare. Mind you, toast was in stock, on the menu, and this is a bakery at 10:30am. I don't understand why that request was so crazy? He took over the cash register and rushed my mom through the payment process. He pressed buttons to skip sections before she was done reading the payment pad, and said "Too late!" when she got visibly flustered. He made us feel incredibly unwelcome, and like we're just annoying dollar signs to them and nothing more.

Finding Rise Above Bakery was such luck! Not only was communication easy and helpful, the actual cost was quite reasonable. Add to that delivery! to Wilmington, Vermont, for a nominal fee. And the product? Outstanding!! Simply delicious! Very well received, everyone asked about the bakery. Full of gratitude for your bakery.

I absolutely loved the decor here and the old fashioned music playing in the background just added to the ambience! We walked in and they pointed out the menu to us on the wall. Here you decide what you want, sit at your appointed table, and they come and take the order. They also have self serve beverages. Our waitress was sweet and very helpful. She wrote everything down exactly as we wanted it. Don't let the paper plates fool you, the food here is amazing! I had the French toast with a side of bacon and loaded home fries. Hubs had the thistle breakfast which was pancakes and egg with bacon. It comes with coffee or tea. He didn't realize he could have had sausage until later. This French toast was so good I'm still thinking of it the next day! Warm fruit compote with a warm maple cream with brioche bread! Yummmmmmm! The potatoes were excellent amd the bacon was crispy, just as I asked! My husband loved his as well. They also use real maple syrup! I can't wait to go back!!

I was 40 feet from the door, and the smell wafting toward me was fabulous. Inside, there were several bakers preparing muffins and other goodies (for the next day?). Lucy was waiting on a woman who had driven down from Brattleboro. This woman was praising the decaf coffee, and baked goods. I opted for a lemon bar and an almond croissant with chocolate. The woman approved. Quick digression - very clean bathroom, w an interesting painted sink (see pix)....and an old Remington typewriter. The lemon bar was amazing. My lips were so puckered the rest of my 50+ mile ride home, I was fantasizing about my good friend, also named Lucy, and what I could do with those puckered lips. Had the croissant later that evening. One of the best I've ever tasted. Definitely worth a visit.

It was immediately obvious that the chocolate chip & snickerdoodle cookies were not fresh. They tasted & felt at least 2 days old. Perhaps it was our mistake for not asking when these were baked before choosing them. The iced shortbread & linzer cookies were good. The raspberry jam between the linzer's shortbread cookies was generous, making it messy to eat - but yummy. The puffy iced lemon cookie itself had a nice soft texture, but the icing on it was aggressively Sprite tasting, & overpowered the cookie. Still we enjoyed the soft cookie part naked. I love a jammy thumbprint cookie, because the cookie is soft & the jam is baked into the center to reduce it to slightly chewy. The 2 we picked here had blobs of jam placed in the center after baking, & the cookie part was almost crunchy, so every bite left crumb & jam blobs dripping on your hands. We got none of the chewy jammy centers or soft cookie parts that make thumbprints so good. I'm giving 3 stars overall because service was very warm & friendly, and the shop is very inviting. Perhaps the best cookies to get here are the shortbreads as they are very cute & seem to hold up well. Or any of the cookies we tried, that appeal to you in the ways they did not appeal to us.
