Rise Above Bakery

Rise Above deserves its amazing reviews--the quality of the baked goods and breads exceeds expectations. Where it falls short is the coffee--I am not the only person who thinks that the coffee they sell is totally unpalatable. It's way too acidic and thin. I consider it undrinkable and have to opt for tea instead.The staff are all totally lovely. The Miche bread is so wonderful that my mother-in-law down south always asks us to bring her some when we visit.

I've been here a couple of times and have enjoyed it each time. One morning I got a danish that was beyond amazing and the second time I got their buffalo cauliflower pizza special which was also delicious. The pizza slices are a generous portion and I really like their outdoor seating. Even on a warm sunny day it was shady enough to enjoy my meal. All the staff are very friendly and I will definitely keep going!

Wow! I am very impressed with the quality of the baking. They have upped their game since first opened. They are at the level of French bakery. My favorite place in Western Mass! The almond croissant and the pistachio chocolate croissant are to die for!

The quality is definitely there however the flavors are off. Almond croissant super crispy almost over cooked but could not taste almond flavor at all. Everything bagel needs salt, doesn't not taste like everything bagel. One more thing. Expensive for 3 items it was $18.

If you are looking for the best baked goods in the area, look no further! Rise Above delivers on exceptional flavors, presentation, and quality. We got the Almond Croissant and a heavenly marzipan stuffed treat which were both so good they were gone before we drove away. 10/10. The time and effort they put in to providing top notch baked goods is so appreciated, thank you!
