Always delicious. I drive 30 min to enjoy their breads and pastries even though I have a bakery about 2 miles from my house. The Chocolate Strawberry croissant was delicious and retained its outer crispness and inner flakiness even with the strawberry filling and chocolate drizzle. I also recommend their monkey bread, the ancienne baguette and the regular baguette and their lemon merringue tart. All their croissants that I have sampled have been delicious. The front team is always polite and takes the time to answer questions even when they are deluged with customers. This is a great neighborhood bakery (they serve coffee, too!).Highly recommend :)

I frequent their stand at Van Aken because they are consistently great. But when I saw a post that the regular location had an orange cardamom latte, my dream drink from a vacation that I've been pining over for years, I had to stop by and try it. The latte was everything I wanted it to be. I will continue to swing by this location as long as they have this special latte. And per usual the baked goods are awesome.

Was in town and looked up bakeries for a little post lunch sweet. Tucked in a cute little neighborhood this adorable bakery was worth the off path drive. Old bakery feel with modern kicks. I tried the chocolate rye cookie with salt on top because the girl told me it was like a gooey brownie cookie and you don't taste the rye flour. Okay!!! $2!!! And one of the meatiest yummiest chocolate cookies I've ever had. I debated buying more to bring home but knew I wouldn't be able to resist.Try this place, they have breads, sweets and much more.

Great food, baked goods. Outdoor seating area is swarming with bees. When I told a staff person, he just shrugged his shoulders. They may be coming from the large garbage can located right next to the tables.

I can't believe I haven't stopped by to visit this Cleveland Heights staple sooner! I visited on a Saturday morning, and while there was a line, it moved very quickly. I could tell how excited everyone was to pick up their carb fix, as the lady in front of us remarked how everything was delicious when she heard that I never been here before. I picked up a sourdough batard and an almond croissant. The sourdough was incredible, and I've been slowly making my way through the loaf with some warm winter soup. almond croissants are my favorite croissant, so I always have to get kone to judge. The puff pastry itself was incredible: the lamination was immaculate. However, I do wish that they were more of an almond flavor. I'm used to there being almond paste in the middle of the almond croissant, and I felt like I kept eating at hoping that it would appear, and it never did.Still, I definitely hope to be back soon and try more items off their menu!

I just moved to the Cleveland Heights neighborhood recently and immediately began exploring for the best spots. On the Rise has quickly become one of my favorite places in the area. Every time I have gone, there is a line, but it moves quickly. On my first visit, the staff was kind and helpful, pointing me to their best sellers and favorites. So far I haven't had a bad thing - all of the food is delicious and fresh. I look forward to trying all of the breads (and there are a lot to choose from for sure!) and working my way through the pastries. My top pastry recommendation so far is the Kouign-amann, which is buttery and has a crisp sugar edge to it.On the Rise is an adorable neighborhood spot. There isn't space to come in and hang out, but there are benches and picnic tables along the sidewalk to enjoy your breakfast!

Everything here is so fresh and delicious, it's hard not to get carried away and order a bunch of things. I stop by weekly for a sourdough loaf, their croissants (poblano cheddar is my favorite), and usually many other various things that catch my eye. Their coffees are way better than Starbucks and their lunch sandwiches are also fantastic when available (the banh mi and turkey sandwiches are my favorites). This place does get pretty busy, but the staff members are super efficient (and very nice) and everyone is taken care of quickly. I would highly recommend On The Rise!!

On the Rise has to have some of the best bread and baked goods in Cleveland. The first time I heard about On the Rise was with my classmates, and one of our faculty advisors brought in some On the Rise croissants to reward us. First of all, the croissants are giant. These croissants are flakey, buttery, and full of deliciousness. After this session, I came to the actual store with a friend and saw all the variety they had. I highly recommend anyone in the Cleveland area to check out this bakery. It will not disappoint!

The staff were very friendly and quick. We tried a Kouign-amann, an almond croissant, a sticky bun, a ham and cheese croissant, a chocolate eclair and a baguette. It was so delicious. I'd pass on the eclair next time (they were stored in the fridge so the pate a choux wasn't as fresh tasting as I prefer)We drove from the west side, 30 minutes away, and will totally do it again.
