Iced matcha latte
Regen W.

LOVE! As SOMA residents we have been impatiently counting down the days until the brick and mortar cafe was finally open. We have long spent Saturday mornings walking down the street to grab a loaf and a pastry and it feels so good to sit down and support Rize Up even more now. The interior is so beautiful, designed by Levi Architecture and Art. Very bright and welcoming, it feels modern without being unapproachable. The staff is so friendly and you can tell they are really putting their hearts into this operation. The menu is slim but there's great options to choose from. We both went with a tartine option but look forward to trying a grilled cheese next time (I've got my eye on the kimchi!). The trout tartine was tart and savory with labneh and pickled onions. The whipped feta tartine was briny and creamy and was cut perfectly with the addition of harissa honey and crispy shallots. Iced oat latte was yummy and arrived quickly. My only note is that I wish the matcha had been a bit more rich in color, I noticed they use a concentrate instead of from scratch. Still a five star experience as I'm not one to dock for something as small as matcha color. We're so happy and send huge congratulations to the Rize Up family. SOMA loves you!

I know Rize Up Bakery from their delicious sourdough based Country Pan Loaf that @RootedCoffee uses for their fantastic variety of avocado toasts. Since I was going to SF for the day I wanted to visit Rize Up Teat Kitchen and Cafe and see what else they had. The storefront is large and has a nice sized area seating area. The breads all looked great. I was hoping to get a Demigorgon Baguette, but I was there too late. At least I was able to get a Country Pan Loaf. Friendly service. I know they sell treats as well I just wish that there would have been a vegan treat.

Can't wait for the Rize up cafe to open! I really like the social justice meaning and why this black owned business was started in 2020. I have been a fan of the Ube Sourdough bread since inception. Since it runs out fast by the time I get to Rainbow Grocery or Ferry Building Farmers Market it's usually hit or miss for me. Today was a Hit! A true San Francisco Treat for many reasons!

The popular special sourdoughs now have their own home! The cafe is beautifully designed and I love how you can see the kitchen in the background. They have a menu of toasts and grilled cheeses with yummy combinations of flavors and ingredients. The ube mascarpone topping was creamy yet light and not too sweet. The pepper jack peach jam was savory with a hint of sweetness and a hint of spice. Service was pretty nice, they'll take a few minutes to prepare you foods to order. Outlets available along the wall seats.

Rize Up Bakery was founded in 2020 in San Francisco as a backyard sourdough project during the pandemic. What started as a small home operation quickly rose through farmers markets, and powerful community support into a full commercial bakery. With its creative sourdough flavors and mission rooted in empowerment and community uplift, Rize Up has become a standout Black-owned bakery in the city. From time to time they pop up on TGTG and I was lucky enough to get one today. I had the choice of two loaves (one had to be an OG) or one loaf plus a baguette and pastry- easy decision: two loaves. Always the bacon, cheddar, jalapeño for me. The customer service is next level; the team offers thoughtful recommendations and even recipe ideas to make the most of your bread. Rize Up is truly an SF treasure, the kind of place you root for. You can find their bread at various farmers markets including Saturday at the Ferry Building.

Nicely packaged mystery bread. How exciting! Wonder what's inside?

I love the bread from this bakery as it has popped up at the farmers market. I have been slowly trying to try all their flavors. So far after a year, I haven't met a sourdough I didn't like yet. I believed I have tried all most of their flavors including the elusive Ube Sourdough. I love sourdough as you can guess and this is my favorite pace for it. It's locally made. I don't know how many good things I can say about it. I never had a bad bread loaf experience. You can't go wrong with any of their breads. I love the Kpop GOCHUJANG LOAF that has toasted sesame, roasted garlic and fresh scallions costs $16 and MASALA LOAF that is Stuffed with onion, curry leaves, spices, cilantro, serrano and roasted jalapeño peppers. Yummy in my tummy. From their website: Rize Up Bakery is a San Francisco based black-owned bakery focused on reinventing and rethinking the traditional sourdough that started in Spring 2020. Rize Up wants to share their love of delicious, thoughtfully baked breads made with naturally leavened, organic and sustainable high quality ingredients.

Ube pandesal, spice banana bread and my favorite sourdough
Princess A.

The sourdough here is exceptional compared to other places I've visited, and their Uber pandesal is very popular. The spice banana bread is fantastic. The staff and manager are warm and welcoming. The ambiance is perfect for relaxing with friends or colleagues during coffee breaks or catch-ups. This recently opened store is a must-visit, and I especially recommend their sourdough. They also offer other flavors, such as ube sourdough.

I've tried almost all their loaves and my favorite is the K-pop Gochujang loaf! It's savory from the gochujang and garlic. It's not spicy but you can taste the flavor of the gochujang. It's great to eat as toast with some butter or with fried egg. Such a unique and flavorful loaf. The masala loaf is pretty good too. It has the flavor of garam masala and sautéed onions. It gives you the taste of an India curry but in bread form.

Great bakery and love the bread. I was walking by while in the area and bought a loaf of garlic confit and thyme bread and a bacon snickerdoodle cookie. The gal was super friendly and helpful with my questions. I loved the bread. Great texture and flavor. I wish the flavors were a little stronger but still so good. I'd love to try more or their options. The cookie was delish but don't feel like the bacon came thru much. Seemed like a little sprinkling on top is all. All the baked goods and loaves of bread looked and sound great. I like their variety of flavors. This was a pop up at their space and didn't have areas to sit and eat. It sounds like a cafe space is in the works tho. I'll keep an eye out more when at farmers markets for their table!

I finally got my hands on a couple of their sourdough loaves - the Everything Seasoning and Gochujang loaves! I loved the Gochujang loaf with toasted sesame, roasted garlic and fresh scallions (there are whole garlic pieces in the bread). The Everything Seasoning is great too with seasoning throughout the bread rather than just on top. The sourdough has a nice tartness without being too sour. The bread is great for toasts, pairing with soup or on it's own with butter. I sliced these up and freeze them in slices so that I can grab and go when I'm using bread for meals or need a snack!

Bakery on Howard St

Must try the SF Local sourdough loaves from Rize Up Bakery. They are at Farmer's Market and selected supermarkets. Pop up sales at the Howard St Bakery on Saturdays. Texture, quality, and taste are perfect!! You will be thrilled that there are so many choices and unique flavors on the bread. Highly recommended. I wish the biscuit is more fluffy and buttery. The coconut cookie was ok. Owner is so creative with a lot of love and passion!! Thank you so much!!

Whenever we are in the city we try to visit Rize Up Bakery. We love the spirit and the message of this business and we love supporting small entrepreneurs. We also appreciate the message of making something so good out of bad situations. The last time we tried to stop in there had been a fire and I felt terrible. But this week we were able to stop in and get a loaf of sourdough. Typically I make a garlic salt butter to melt and dip the bread in but this time we didn't have the seasonings I typically use and I had to eat it just plain bread and butter. I really wanted more salt in the bread itself, and I'm not sure if it's always like that and I've just never noticed because I'm putting my unseasoning on it or if I just got a loaf where they hadn't used enough salt in the recipe. Either way I will definitely need back and continue supporting this business.

I also love how quick the service is - I never have to wait more than a minute for my order! The food is also always pipping hot. My regular orders on rotation (I'd give them all 5 stars!): Chicken Momos ($14) - Comes in 8 pieces. The dumplings are large, flavorful, with the perfect skin-to-meat ratio. It is served with Bini's spicy tomato cilantro sauce on top; the sauce is delicious with just a slight/mild kick. Vegetarian Momos ($12) - Comes in 8 pieces. Vegan dumplings filled with tofu, carrots, & cabbage. Also served with the spicy tomato cilantro sauce on top. I love how clean yet tasty this is! Vegetarian Combo ($18) - Comes with 4 vegetarian momos and one veggie side served on top of fragrant basmati rice. For the sides, I love the Baigun Bharta, a tomato-based braised eggplant. It's saucey and pairs extremely well with the rice. The only reason I'd dock off half a star for this combo is the price. You can also mix and match the momos. For a more balanced meal, I request half chicken and half vegetarian ($14). Bini's also has a stand outside the Ferry Building every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I'd like to give a shoutout to the Bini's servers at the Ferry Building - they're very generous & usually give me 9 pieces of momos whenever I ask for half chicken and half vegetarian (usually 4 chicken & 5 vegetarian).

I was getting hungrier watching them make each sandwich. Luckily once I ordered and paid, they immediately hand you one that's already made so you don't have to wait. I normally don't buy lunch when I'm in the office. I usually do meal preps, but now, I check their calendar to see if they're going to be at the Ferry Building so I can pick up a sandwich for lunch.

Expect to wait in line for chicken and the porchetta sandwich during lunch hours. WHOLE ROLIROTI GOURMET ROTISSERIE CHICKEN ~ dark meat was good while the white meat was dry. They need some kind of dipping sauce or something for it. Seasoning was not evenly spread out so some parts were saltier on the skin. Lots of herbs like thyme and rosemary. Just too bad the meat didn't stay juicy. 3.5/5 ROTISSERIE PORCHETTA SANDWICH ~ skin was crispy and burnt, so it was bitter yet crunchy. Pork was tender, but I didn't taste much of the jam. I did not like the bitter burnt skin. I personally thought it threw the flavor off. If it wasn't bitter, it would have scored higher. I always enjoy bread toasted when having a sandwich. Sadly, they don't toast it. My friend loves this sandwich and told me the skin wasn't supposed to be crunchy and burnt! So I'm assuming this wasn't typical. 3/5 The 4 of us shared the whole chicken and split the porchetta sandwich. But hearing that the sandwich wasn't made correctly this time around, I'm compelled to give it another try in the future.
