Reviews for Rise Above Bakery in Greenfield, MA
One bite of their salted chocolate cookie and I was melting into my car seat. On the second bite I started moaning. The third... bite was so good it was like an orgasm in my mouth. After I finished the cookie I got out of the car, and went back to buy twomore. Read more
Honestly cannot recommend. After multiple repeated tries I?ve found Rise Above to be far below the standard of bakeries... elsewhere in the area. Given that it?s one of the few actual bakeries in town, I would expect them to fill the nicheaccordingly. However, from the unfriendly staff, extreme lack of product, and frankly inedible baked goods, I?ve been thoroughlydisappointed. Read more
In general, Rise Above is great little bakery but the one thing I really want from them is unfortunately where they?re... lacking. Almond. Croissants. Rise Above?s almond croissants are consistently over baked, at times minutes away from beingburnt. When the bottom of a baked good is hard as a rock, it?s overdone. This seems to be how they make their almond croissants,which is a major shame. I?ve been a baker for over 20 years and I?ve never seen a croissant so badly done. Read more
Excellent chocolate croissants and breads. If you can't get to Greenfield, check out small markets in Amherst, Leverett, or... Sunderland on Wednesdays and Saturdays for the Rise bread. Read more
INCREDIBLE bakery! The only reason we made it through the pandemic. I love everything they make--we pick up a bread to go with... dinner, croissants for breakfast, cookies or tarts (the frangipane tarts are magnificent!) for a treat. They also have coffee &tea: a one-stop for all your deliciousness needs. Read more
I tried to find a way to add 100 extra stars to this review. Five stars are just not enough. Rise Above bakery is my favorite... bakery! (With kudos to my dad who was also a serious baker and every weekend and woke us up with delicious smells of everythinghe'd been baking). I appreciate all of the local ingredients and farms that this bakery uses and supports. Rise Above has such adiverse range of deliciousness! Everything is beautiful,, yummy, and fun to share. And there's always something that lights upthe kids! Apologies, I had to taste before posting :) Read more
