Uprise Bakery

We came in for lunch on a week day, and the food was amazing. You order at the counter and can find a seat inside. The staff were friendly. We got 2 lunch combos with 1/2 sandwich and soup or salad. Ambiance is a typically cafe bakery.- Cuban pulled pork sandwich with mushroom soup (4.5/5): This was delicious, so flavorful, cooked well. Perfect combo with the creamy soup.- Roasted chicken sandwich with Thai caesar salad (5/5): The chicken was so tasty, perfect seasoned. The sandwich had just the right amount of sauce and filling. Salad was also great, nice twist on a classic caesar with the Thai dressing making it more tangy.

To call this place just a bakery is the understatement of the year. It has it all... excellent coffee, great sandwiches, excellent baked goods, tasty salads, delicious dessert plus lots of college town cafe vibes!Counter service in the back with food delivery at your table. What we ordered:- Cuban with house salad (4.5/5): Very untraditional Cuban, but it had tons of unique flavor. Orders the 1/2 and 1/2 and the portions were great! Onions, Pablano peppers and spicy aioli was a great add. House salad had fresh spring mix and a wonderful honey mustard. Addictive croutons too. GET THIS- blt (4/5): the bread and the tasty bacon make this sandwich. Very good. - roasted veggie sandwich (4.5/5): Flavors worked incredibly well. GET THIS! - Mexican mocha: yum and delicious! Check this place out!

This place does it all - one of my favorite lunch spots in como!! Besides offering lunch, they also open early for breakfast and coffee & are open at night as a bar. They have lots of sandwich options, salads, soups & pastries. You order at the counter so it's the perfect place for a grab & go coffee/breakfast or a casual lunch. I love this place because I feel like they have something for everyone on their menu. Very casual & great outside seating. I love coming here on a nice day to sit outside and get some homework done. All their bread is homemade & they have homemade bakery items too like cookies and granola. The bread is so soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The best roll/bread to get is the rosemary olive oil. All of their bread is available to buy a full loaf of, so I love buying their sourdough to use at home for sandwiches or toast. Everything I've had from here is so delicious. My favorite is any of their soups, the hummus plate or the thai caesar salad. There's not great parking, but there is a parking garage across the street. If you're in need of a great latte before work, a drink on the weekend or a wholesome lunch - this is your place!!!

This is such a quaint place in Columbia. I was visiting friends in the area whom told me about this joint. I loved it so much I stopped by twice. The bakery goods are amazing I had 3 different types of pastries potato, spinach, and mushroom including the biscuits. The service was excellent. Nothing like driving home 2 hours with these snacks and the day before all I could hear was "yummy". I'll be back when I visit again.

Nice interior, nice staff. Sandwiches are not cheap. The bread is really crispy . It cut the top of my boyfriend's mouth. The ham and cheese on rye was really good. The blt, which is what my boyfriend got, had a lot of lettuce and the bread was hard, but it was meant to be hard. It's hard to get out of the small parking lot.

super impressed. great ingredients and cute vibe. love that it's attached to a record shop and small movie theater

I usually pick up bread and treats from Uprise at the weekly Farmers Market. So it was nice to go into their brick and mortar store!Ordered:Sausage biscuit Mexican mocha Chocolate croissantThe service was amazing! They brought my pastry and coffee to me when it was ready. This place has great indoor and outdoor seating. This is great especially as the weather is allowing for more outdoor activities. The biscuit was so moist and a great breakfast item! They also had ham and cheese croissant, bagels and cream cheese for breakfast. The croissant was so flaky and delicious. I'll definitely be back just for the croissant. They also have a variety of other pastries like cinnamon rolls, cookies, brownies. I love when coffee shops take a spin on Mexican mocha. This is the first time that I've tried one and it had a kick. Beware they add paprika or chili powder to the coffee. It's good but it may not be what you're used to. I loved it!

The bread itself is amazing! They use quality ingredients with no added preservatives or sugars/ gums. All of their flavors are great! The service is okay. The only downside is it is hard to purchase the bread. Unless you go early it is sold out, and they distribute them to grocery stores which can also be tricky to find. Besides that i love it!

Recently stopped by this bakery for an afternoon snack when I was in town. The peach pecan muffins looked delicious and I decided to grab 2 - one for now and one for later. They were super tasty and had a wonderful texture. the one I grabbed for later sat on the counter for about 6 hours until dinner and it was just as moist and yummy as the first one. Not sure what the ingredients are, but they taste a little healthier than the typical cake mix variety. Can't wait to go back.

This unassuming shop off of broadway is home to the best sandwiches in Columbia. Coming from New York I have craved a fresh deli style sandwich shop, something that Jersey Mike's can closely mimic, but other alternatives struggle to match. The bread is perfect, the meats taste delicious, and the toppings are not soggy. If you want a similar dining experience, you will have to go to upscale restaurants that charge an arm and a leg, but offer off-putting service. The ambiance is what you might expect of a small bar inside of an antiquated theater. This is truly a "must visit" if you're a local or passing through!
