This place is what the phrase "eye candy" refers to! When you walk in, you are greeted with a beautifully bare-bones rustic bakery vibe, in which you can see straight back into the kitchen area. All the breads and baked goodies are out on display for viewing pleasure...oh and don't even get me started on the aroma! Instant salivation upon walking in.
Desserts:
- Apple tart: This crust is buttery, crispy, and all around crumbly goodness. With a center of warm sweet apples, this dessert cannot steer you wrong!
- Apricot croissant: This is where On the Rise truly shines. I've NEVER had a better croissant! It was just the right amount of flakiness to feel light and airy without completely falling apart. It was buttery and the apricot center was delicious. Definitely a must try!
- Raspberry square: This one was kind of a dud. The top was too crumbly and the raspberry tasted like store bought jam. This one was a miss unfortunately.
Breads:
- Sourdough: The sourdough is great! Not too dense and just the right size to last a few days, even if shared. Yummy!
- Olive loaf: I wish this loaf wasn't so flat! It makes it difficult to use the slices for sandwiches. I resorted to open faced sammies, which were still delicious, I just wish that they weren't so thin! But the olive to bread ratio is just perfect and the price is comparable if not better than the olive loaf at Whole Foods!
*Tip: Come early! This place gets packed very early in the morning on the weekends and there is very limited seating.
