| - Prior to moving to University Heights about a year and a half ago, I hadn't heard of On the Rise. Fortunately I was introduced to their artisan breads and pastries via an early morning work event and haven't looked back since.
On the Rise provides a wide selection of freshly baked breads, cookies, and pastries. Getting up early on a Sunday to pick up a box full of their expertly baked croissants, raspberry almond squares, and cinnamon buns is an easy way to get your day off to a good start.
Though they do have minimal indoor seating and a handful of outdoor tables, I've always gotten my pastries to go. They tend to be very crowded on weekend mornings (8:30-10:30), but the staff does a good job of keeping the line moving. I would recommend coming early as they often sell out of particular items. If you favor a Cinnabon or Pillsbury style cinnamon bun, you may not be so wowed by their offerings. But, if you like your pastries to be light and flaky with subtle, never overwhelming, sweetness, then On the Rise should be a perfect fit.
The prices at On the Rise are moderate; I can typically pick up half a dozen different pastries (the perfect addition to any breakfast/brunch) for around $20. They do accept credit cards, but have a minimum charge limit, so be sure to have cash on hand if you're just stopping by for a single item.
