Whether you are gluten-free, paleo, or just love sweets, Rise Bakery is sure to have something for you!
Since November 2014, Rise Bakery has served up sweet treats and freshly baked bread that are all gluten-free. The small shop, located in Adams Morgan, bakes a variety of sweets such as cookies, cupcakes, éclairs, muffins, and cinnamon rolls every morning, along with heartier options like bagels, sandwiches, croissants, and breads.

"I started the bakery because I wasn't happy with commercially produced, processed gluten-free options. So much of it is mediocre to terrible, and I knew from baking gluten-free at home that gluten-free food could be delicious. I was also worried about cross-contamination. While there are plenty of 'gluten-free' treats out there, having a 100% certified gluten-free space to make the food was important to me and important to other people with Celiac Disease."
Right now, Rise Bakery is one of only two gluten-free bakeries in the country. The bakery accommodates other food allergies and color codes its items so visitors can know which products do not have eggs, dairy, soy, or nuts.
