    1/2 dozen assorted

    I love a good donut and these do NOT disappoint. Tasty at the very first bite!!! The service was quick and on point, and while there is not much ambiance to be had at a donut shop, I do not care when it's a perfect sweet treat! A must revisit!!! It was also a busy little place so I will get my order in sooner rather than later!!!

    I consider myself to be a bit of a donut connoisseur, and these donuts didn't disappoint! Arrived at 11am on a Saturday and there were plenty of donuts in the case. We were the only customers there. I ordered my go-to: glazed vanilla cream filled. You get to watch as they fill the donuts right in front of you. The donut was nice and light and fluffy. Not greasy. The filling was perfect, but I wouldn't have complained if there was a tiny bit more. We will be back!!

    I love the donuts here! Chocolate and glazed are my go-to flavors. The shop is clean and they have a fresh variety. I went on a Saturday at about 11. Everyone was friendly and I am happy I finally tried them out.

    Awesome service, delicious donuts, and clean restaurant 10/10 when we are in Durham-we will make this a regular stop

    It was so good, I ate it before the photo.  Blueberry Cake

    Ok. I came on a Monday about an hour before closing time... and they were closed. Sign said no more donuts, so that could be a good sign if your a glass half full type a chick like me. Came again on Tuesday- because I ain't playing about these donuts. Came around 3 pm and about half of the shelves were empty. Anywhere else is sold out of apple fritters by 1030 am - but they had 2 trays left. So I only want them if they are sold out- and I got a blueberry cake donut. I wanted to get more stuff and tell u all about it but my cholesterol is high and I'm trying to get my life right. So this blueberry thooooow! Is so light and fluffy and really good. They don't feel heavy, oily and deep fried. So I can come back and get two next time. No coffee though- just donuts. All the frills are in the donuts and not in anything else. Plenty of seating but u gonna have to leave so u can get some water or coffee to wash these bad boys down! Not bad customer service- no frills. Just good donuts handed to u... no smile or extra talk. Just take the good donut and go.

    It was not busy, late in the day, around 4 p.m., so the selection was a little smaller than I assume is the case earlier. That being said, we got half a dozen donuts, two cream-filled donuts, which they do at the time of purchase, which is pretty cool, and an apple fritter. The apple fritter was for a snack for me, but me and my wife tasted it on the way home, and only a small bite was left for me when I got to my driveway. I live 10 minutes from their shop which is in an old shopping center off 54. Nothing special about the location, really, but the filled, glazed, and fritters were very good. This means I don't have to go back to Dunkin anymore :) I will have to go earlier and try more stuff next time.

    Went later in the day and the selection was slim. Good donuts, but nothing standout one way or the other. I got a cinnamon twist, cinnamon roll, powdered, and crunch. Didn't like the crunch donut, the twist and roll were fine and the powdered took the prize.

    Absolutely incredible donuts. Fresh, soft, and perfectly sweet without being overpowering. Every bite tastes homemade. Highly recommend!!

    imma be real. i'm a donut connoisseur and these were just okay. we came in around noon on a saturday and they were almost sold out (which was kind of weird considering they close at 6?). the guy helping us was so nice. we ended up getting an old fashioned, blueberry cake and chocolate cake. the old fashioned was crunchy and not that great. chocolate cake didn't taste like anything at all. blueberry was probably the best but it still wasn't anything over a 6/10. maybe it's because we got there too late ? not sure... probably won't be back

    We had already started eating the donuts before I took a picture but wicked yummy! Fluffy and soft and the flavors were great! We were greeted by a smiley face and left very happy. We will definitely be back :)

    Finally made it to Roses, and appreciate that reservations were offered for lunchtime, because it's…read morealways a gamble venturing out to lunch and making it back to work on time. The food. Not your traditional noodles, bao or gyoza but more like home made versions of Asian fare. I opted for the half salads because I like variety, dishes were served whenever they ready, which worked for us. The pepper salad was sweet yet flavorful, the squash salad even moreso, with a jicama-like texture topped with chili's, seeds and ground black sesame, The bao filling was saucy and sweet, the gyoza mixed with shrimp and chicken savory. Even though we were full we couldn't ignore desert, so split the passion fruit tres leches cake, which was fantastic. You can feel an intention here, as food is made with thought and creativity. I'm already planning my return. UPDATE: Returned the next day and tried the blue fish oni giri, katsu sando and spring rolls. All fantastic!

I made a reservation for 6:30pm on a Friday. I recognize sometimes exact reservation times cannot be honored but I was a little concerned at how slow the service was and how crowded the already small space was. They could not really give us an idea of when we would be sat and so we had to just kind of shuffle around to keep trying to be out of the way. It took about 15 minutes before a table finally opened up and we were able to sit. From there, the service continued to be slow. I know the staff - both servers and kitchen - were working hard. I don't blame them as much as it feels like they are understaffed and stretched thin. Overall, it took a while for us to get our food, and we were all hangry by the time we had food. The servers were running around so it took a while whenever we needed something or ran out of water. The food itself surprised me. I know the menu was small and curated but I was actually surprised how little variety there was. And I don't know if I would consider this a vegan/vegetarian friendly place anymore. While they do have dishes and options, it is minimal. I got the pork and mushroom dumplings, pork bao bun, onigiri, and the housemade belt noodles. Both the dumplings and belt noodles were coated in a chili oil that made them almost inedible. And I like spicy! But this was too much. My favorite was the onigiri. Overall, between wait, service, quality, and price, I do not think I will be back.

When I order a box, I order it plain and then add my own fixings at home. My box creations can make up to three meals. I've begun adding my own fixings to their biscuits too. I'm pleased with Rise's pricing, regular coupon offers for loyalty members, and a reward point system that's easy to track. They've recently sent out coupons in those coupon clipper mailers and I found they carry great value. This Rise location (like their location in Chapel Hill) caters primarily to takeout clients. There are some bar tables and outdoor patio seats if you want to eat on site. I'm a takeout client myself (as I hinted above) and prefer building on top of what I order. Rise's biscuits can't be beat. They are flaky, fluffy, and reheat well. My tips for reheating: - Microwave: Lightly sprinkle water on the open faces of your biscuit (not the hard crust) and cover before microwaving. - Air fryer: Use the "Reheat" setting and reheat your biscuit at 325º for 4-5 minutes.
