Rise Bakery - Boronia Rd, Auburn

It’s a blessing that this place exists for gluten free dietary needs. Loved the banana nut cake, very moist with earthy taste. Cinnamon bun was awesome. my family member didn’t enjoy the carrot cake though. Bread was good. Will revisit for sure.

I had placed a special order for a friend's baby shower of gf/vegan donuts. I had asked for a gender neutral color on the cookies (green, purple, yellow) and ended up with a box of pink donuts. This was a bit embarrassing, but thankfully she was able to laugh it off. I also ordered a cake for the party, which was a bit bland in flavor and super expensive for the size of it.

I absolutely love this place!! It's a good thing I don't live too close I'd have to put myself on a schedule for how often I could purchase from Rise. First, it was my first time visit but it will not be last. I didn't catch the employee's name, but his service was stellar!! He answered my questions and was super personable. It's a pickup and go place so don't expect to sit down. You can sample your goodies in the car though ok the way home : Everything is gluten free and they have several vegan options as well. The pumpkin roll was amazing light and a great meld of the harvest flavors. The buttermilk biscuits were really good they do break up a little, but who cares, it's a biscuit!!! The cupcakes I tried so many red velvet, cookies and cream, and that strawberry lemonade oh my goodness! All were moist, but that strawberry lemonade was amazing!!! The tiramisu was good; I wanted to try it since I've only had it at a restaurant. The lemon bar and pumpkin cheesecake were delicious!! I'm going to try and make my own version of that lemon bar real soon.You definitely have to visit this amazing bakery next time you're in NoVA your stomach will thank me!!!

I get so jealous of my family eating all the cupcakes and fresh baked goods I use to enjoy. Once I developed this food sensitivity it was almost impossible to find ready-made pastries. I love this shop, and the service is wonderful. 10/10 recommend.Dietary restrictions: I'm gluten free.

It's a smaller shop but lots of yummy gluten free items. My family loves it!
