Michael Symon's restaurants get their bread here. Enough said. Truly as good as a French countryside bakery. How lucky we are to have this in the Cleveland area.
On the Rise bakes bread and pastries the authentic, European Way. Their bread is as good as any French bread I've had in Europe. Baguettes are supreme. And there's nothing quite like the taste of a slice of cinnamon raisin bread still warm from the oven.
On the Rise is in a residential neighborhood, and parking takes planning. Plus, it is a small place, and if you go there for lunch, expect tight quarters. But the food is well worth it.
Once you have tasted bread from On the Rise, you will find it hard to accept anything less.
