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.
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.
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.
Awesome breads and baked goods. Friendly staff and great vibe. Wonderful spot giving to the community.
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!
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.

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! read more

Rize Up Bakery holds a special place in my heart- I initially heard of Rize Up through a PBS documentary and I wanted to support. My mom and I stopped by early of last year at its warehouse and we've hooked ever since. The staff is so sweet and down to earth and very knowledgeable about each baked good- what it's made of, what flavors or beverages pair well with each item, and what someone would like based on preferences. We always get the Garlic Confit Thyme loaf because we are garlic lovers. The bread is so fresh and savory! We slather it in our favorite butter and I use it for avocado toast with himalayan salt and olive oil drizzled on top. Stand outs to us would include the ube cookie and bread. However, honestly you can't go wrong with any of their baked goods. They have a pop up what seems like every Saturday for the public to buy items and they also give away bread occasionally to those in need when they bake a lot or have a lot. Rize Up is such a gem in the SOMA community. read more

Absolutely incredible quality & taste! Nothing more to say other than I find myself craving it all day. Just cut, toast, add a lil' butter, & I'm all smiles! Who knew all along that happiness is truly over sliced bread?! I do now. read more
Found them at the Ferry Building farmer's market. What drew me in was a bacon snickerdoodle cookie. But then I also saw their olive, truffle, parmesan, black pepper sourdough which had everything I typically enjoy so I got that too. And I managed to get the last cheddar scallion biscuit as well. I was so excited to chow down on my cookie until I realized that they gave me the coconut snickerdoodle instead. And I hate coconut. I should've checked before leaving, but in the end it was still a pretty tasty cookie with the perfect chew that I'd want in a snickerdoodle. The cheddar biscuit was also delicious and moist. I'm just not impressed by the sourdough. For $16 I could only taste the olives since they were studded in there. I would go back for the cookies and biscuits though. Got the bacon snickerdoodle later at the Saturday farmer's market and didn't expect to like it less than the coconut one. It doesn't really have much of a bacon flavor. read more
I follow this bakery on Instagram and was delighted when on a trip to San Francisco I happened to be nearby. Got a load of hoagie bread that made amazing sandwiches and was good just on its own Tried a variety of cookies and their tea cake. Shared the cookies and everyone loved them Rebecca was working that morning and she was wonderful. Highly recommend read more

Olive bread with actual olive? Who knew? Walked over to 1160 Howard. No actual store but actual baking house. In order to buy, go online and order and pick up. I did not realize that. I think the owner helped me. There were three things I can buy so I ended up with olive bread. The other was a baguette and a roll. There's a definite crunch and as the pic shows, an actual olive in my first bite. He said a counter may be added soon but not soon enough. read more

Rize Up Bakery is a Black business that was started during the Covid pandemic.. the signage at the food stand has an image of a Black woman with a big Afro, a clenched fist and a big smile-an hint a Black business made the bread.. Rize Up Bakery was at West Oakland Farmers Market. offerings: baguettes, sourdoughs, pan loaf. eats: Everything seasoning (15) -the outer texture was chewy -the inner bread was soft, similar to many sourdough & my fav, Semifredd. -the everything seasoning was subtle, not pervasive -would reorder the OG, the original (12). 4.5 stars good basics crumbs: -available at various farmers markets, groceries, retail stores. -no samples were distributed, just bags of sourdough..... covid protocols no doubt. read more
I splurged on two of their breads - the OG/the original and the cider soaked seeded bread. The pan loaf weighted 2.2 lbs so dence and heavy bread but delicious. The both breads were wonderful and solid breads, I just can not justify the price for them. read more
