We decided to let our high school son drive us out to Rise and Roll. Only driving through one red light (it wasn't his fault entirely) and 100 minutes later, we arrived. Based on the reviews I read earlier, we were on solid ground getting the cinnamon carmel donuts as well as cinnamon rolls. We actually ordered a dozen donuts ... no, not for the three of us to eat there but to bring home with us. The cinnamon caramel donut was heavenly. I'm not a huge donut guy but the texture reminded me of a Krispy Kreme (though not hot). The yeast raised donut melted in the mouth while making a mess of the mouth with the cinnamon caramel crumbs. The cinnamon roll was equally as delicious with cream cheese frosting. Yes, cream chese frosting is the right way to do a cinnamon roll. I'm not sure how often we will make the drive to Middlebury but I would say these are some of the best donuts I've had. We'll be back for more at some point... read more

If you happen to find yourself in Shipshewana or surrounding areas, you must make it a point to stop by Rise 'n Roll Bakery & Deli in Middlebury. Everybody knows Rise 'n Roll. If you're new to the area, you're bound to hear about it. And the greatest part is that this establishment with humble beginnings humbly delivers fantastic products, day in and day out. The baked goods speak for themselves. They are the result of a finely tuned operation that occurs during all hours of the night, made by hands of hard workers we never see, but are thankful for. The daytime staff is just as important. They are some of the friendliest, most helpful & hard-working individuals you will find under the same red roof. Someone is usually cleaning. If you like a clean establishment, Rise 'n Roll is the place to go. If you decide to have lunch, service is excellent and pleasant, and food is consistently good. It is easy to get lost in jams, jellies, breads, pies, and the vast number of items one can take home. Remember to breathe! Whatever you decide to purchase will probably be tasty. Delicious, consistent, clean, & friendly. For an establishment to succeed at all of these qualities is a rarity today. "Donut" forget to thank the employees, or converse with them. They are dear to me! read more

First impression: very clean and organized, friendly staff, variety of items. Loved all the samples and your first cup of coffee is free (plus they have a variety of creamers you can use). There were cheese, jam, donuts, soups, sandwiches, etc. Bought the fritter, pb cream filled donut and another cream filled donut, all delicious. Really nice tables and chairs available for sitting. Definitely will return!! read more

Rise'n Roll - Best donut ever!! - Bakeries Near Me - Middlebury, Indiana

While staying on a mini vacation I knew we had to visit Rise and Roll since it was so close to where we were staying. It get so much hype and kuddos I was anticipating mouth watering pastries and great atmosphere. I am positive it was all the excitement lead to my extreme let down. It's a good size building with enough parking for everyone. Today it was pretty busy. Walking in I was a little confused. It's also a small canned food items like pickles etc. then there are dining room tables and then a cold case fridge that has cold items and then the small donut shelf and counter. I guess you come here to either have a meal or just order their all famous caramel cinnamon doughnuts. I've never tried one so when I saw they had samples I tasty a piece. I am not a doughnut fan but these were extremely soft, moist, huge? And the topping is pretty delish. But still not enough for us to order a dozen. The small donut display near the counter holds maybe 10 varieties of these circular morsels but nothing looked good to us. The line to get one is rather confusing because you place your food and doughnut or Oder in the same line. Here's the thing tho the menu is mainly salads soups and sandwiches. Two pages and that's all. It is more of a deli than anything. No one greets you to sit down so you just hope to find a good spot. Prepare to eat with strangers because these are benches there was a waitress but I believe she's just there to clean up. All in all it takes awhile to figure out the layout. It's a little on the crazy side and poor planning. There are too many people that are ordering that the other guests has to excuse themselves and chance people getting irritated. We didn't eat there because I have picky kids and we don't eat sandwiches. In my opinion I wouldn't go back but it does appeal to many midwestern folks. read more

YES! YES! YES YES YES!! Holy heavenly donut paradise. Seriously, I'm not sure why I'm even writing anything further....get there, go there (get there on an empty stomach). Don't be afraid of the full parking lot, the lines move fast....but so do the donuts. There's also a million other amazingly delicious things to buy and meals to try. Just go. now. :) read more

Since Changing Hands a few years ago quality and taste have really suffered. I rarely go there anymore.

We've been told by the locals this is a go too... they were right! We had the danish as well the breakfast bowl, excellent.

My family stopped by here on our way out of the area and we're so glad we did! Ridiculously good cinnamon caramel donuts... the best I've ever tried! The donut is pillowy and extremely soft. It seems to melt in your mouth as you eat it. Somehow, it manages to seem like a light snack rather than a heavy dessert... Incredible. The store itself is great, too. Samples of crackers, jams, cheese spreads, toffee, etc. are available. So is free coffee. Everything is reasonably priced and tastes delicious. Would recommend!!! read more

Rise'n Roll - Cinnamon caramel donuts to go! - Bakeries Near Me - Middlebury, Indiana

See all

Stopped in for doughnuts. Thought they were good but just average. Got a mixed dozen for the guys at the repair shop and made them happy, happy! read more

WONDERUL! Worth the long line. Adorable place and delicious food and treats. Everything was terrific, including the service.

Oh. My. Word. Best donuts ever. The caramel that tops several types is so delicious- you can taste the butter and brown sugar. And the filled donuts are almost over-stuffed. Both times we went (don't judge!), we got fast, friendly service. It was the perfect place to pick up breakfast for our Airbnb stay nearby. read more

Amazing donuts! My kids said they would come back just to order the breakfast sandwich. It was awesome.

Have been in many times over the past 5 years, but this last time the Cream Cheese Frosted Cinnamon Rolls were stale and dried out. If you're going to charge top dollar for your baked goods, they had better be fresh. With so many other places to get great food in the Shipshewana area I doubt I'll be going back. I bought a dozen for my coworkers than normally love these, this time only two were eaten... Sad... read more

Rise'n Roll - Stale & crusty cinnamon rolls... - Bakeries Near Me - Middlebury, Indiana

Good food, great donuts. My biggest complaint is that they label some of their food as, made from scratch, or home made. My wife is a pastry chef and she pointed out that the ingredients label has many preservatives and such, indicating that they buy powders and flavorings to make the cheese dips as well as the pies. She said that when you label something, made from scratch, people expect it to be all natural. I know I did. This doesn't take away from the fact that the food is good and I would definitely go back. read more

First time going to Rise n Roll, great donuts!! Cute establishment, will definitely be back!

Wow. Just wow! I don't know about the rest of the food they serve, but the baked goods are fantastic! I had a huge Apple Fritter and my husband had a massive Cinnamon Roll. They were both delish! Don't leave without buying a jar of Apple Butter! It's the best I've ever had. I wish I'd bought more to use in baked goods recipes. I didn't get any jams and jellies but now I wish I had! read more

Their donuts are so very good, you need to go early because they do sell out early, a must try if you enjoy donuts. Yummm

You will never have better donuts! Their bavarian cream filling is unbelievable! And the staff is super helpful in the choosing process!

Went back and tried the donuts again they are much better than the other two times we ate there. The yeast donuts were good as well as the glazed. We tried several others which were ok. We travel alot and eat donuts all over the country. While these may not be the best we have eaten they are the best in the Shipshewana area. The sausage rolls are still some excellent eating. If you are a tourist in the area and are enammered by the whole Amish mystique you will like this bakery. It may not be as good as the bakery in LaGrange ,it is the best in Shipshewana. read more

OMG ! Lemon buttercram filled donut best donut I've ever had. The donut itself was lemon instead if just the filling being flavored so good. We also tried the ice cream filled donut where else can you get such a thing. Awesome place. read more

Everything from muffin to donuts and jalepeno cheese ball was delicious. Definitely a must stop at. Quick service as well

Okay, this is just stupid. My wife and I went to Indiana for a day and we HAD to stop in to the headquarters. Well, here is the problem, at the farmer's market they sell the donuts with the holes in them and they also sell the holes. Fine, no problem there. BUT, at the store they sell donuts with the same toppings AND a REAL Barvarian creme filling!!!!! We were like, "Ohh, these look good, we'll take 4." (2 frosted and 2 frosted and powdered.) We headed out to the car with them and decided to "try" them. This is where the stupid part comes in. THESE THINGS WERE FREAKISHLY UNREALLY GOOD!!!!!!!! We thought we would just have a few bites of one and move on...nuh uh, we killed all four in record time. There was powederd cinnamon and sugar everywhere, we were chugging water to get them down, wishing we had our hazelnut coffee, and basically making a mess of the car, our clothes and our faces. (Not to mention our waistlines!) We went to a VERY nice quilt shop just East of the bakery and were wandering around in a sugar coma. Bottom line: GO THERE!!!! Be ready for the sugar coma! Get some apple butter too! NOTE: We just had the sticky buns for breakfast from the market and I swear they must put a cup of sugar and cinnamon in each serving! YUM! read more

I came here on a coworker's recommendation. I've had Amish donuts before- but this wins by far! I was able to grab other gifts for friends (fudge & cookies) as well! It was tempting to buy a loaf of bread and some cheese as well- everything in the shop looked delicious. It's bare-bones on the inside (as would be expected) and they had a cute seating area outside also! read more

Tastes great but I will never buy from them again they use BHT in the cinnamon caramel donut holes I bought. BHT is a preservative banned in Romania, Sweden, and Australia. Do some research on BHT. For an Amish bakery I am surprised they would use an unhealthy and unnatural additive. read more

OMG this place is a must go to place for the best donuts you'll ever eat. They have good lunches and a great little shop inside as well.

Cinnamon caramel donuts. So good, they're a local icon. My only complaint is that you have to get there early because they run out quickly. Fresh, delicious, and definitely a favorite. read more

Rise N Roll is well loved in this area, but I can't say I care for the thick, doughy style of donut they sell. They're pretty bland tasting.

Rise and Roll has the most amazing donuts in the world. They are unlike anything you have ever had. If you are ever driving through IN on I-80 about 2hrs outside of Chicago, you have to stop there. The 20-30min drive into the country is well worth it. My husband and I also stocked up on jams, pickles, and amazing sweet pepper relish, and a few kinds of breads. The Amish did organic before anyone ever called it that. read more

Strictly a doughnut review. The caramel cinnamon yeast-raised doughnuts are completely different than anything I've had before. Fluffy, chewy, not doughy, heavily dusted in a strange cinnamon sugar concoction. Delicious. If you're driving by, stop in. read more

Someone told us the cinnamon caramel donuts were like "crack donuts" and they weren't lying. Unfortunately I can't eat another donut from anywhere else now- these were incomparable. Next day we actually drove out of our way to get some more!!! Also notable-- chocolate coconut creme donuts -- DIVINE!! and ANYTHING ELSE THEY MAKE!!! Run... Don't walk... You will thank me... read more

Found this place by accident the first time. Since then I've brought visiting family members, and even my Boy Scout troop! They all rave about Rise'n Roll! My niece even went so far as to say that the Explorer's Temptation sandwich was the best sandwich she's ever eaten. read more

Oh my, crack donuts! I can't say I've ever had any donut like cinnamon caramel one here...literally had goosebumps on my first bite. I had to return the next day to make sure I stocked up to take back to Chicago with me and share with my family. I don't know if they ever made it home :) And little did I know they actually come to the farmers market here at home...this is going to be dangerous. read more

This place is ridiculous. Everything is so above amazing as far as quality, freshness, flavor and choices. It's close to my boyfriends summer home and every time we are out there I load up at this place for myself and the list of friends who want their amazing products. Every time I go I get the black bean and corn salsa, cashew crunch, black berry jam and an assortment of cookies. It always seems like they come up with more awesome things and they always have samples. I end up spending like $50 every time I'm here. read more

Tried for the first time and they were absolutely amazing, I would highly recommend. I was told to try their caramel cinnamon donuts and they were melt in your mouth goodness. I will be going back multiple times in the near future. Ps they had free samples read more

Oh-my-Goodness.....this place needs to be on the Food Network. The pastry skills of these Amish ladies is award winning worthy.

I will never go to Middlebury again without visiting here! Donuts were some of the best I've ever had, also bought bread and jam at reasonable prices. Loved it! read more

Any donuts that you've previously tried are inferior. They are wanna-be confections; sad imitations that you will no longer find satisfying after enjoying their cinnamon caramel donut. You will never be the same. read more

Great place for donuts and pecan rolls. I loved my pecan roll. Long line but worth it. Would definitely come here again.
