The specials keep changing, but if you find the creme brulee donut it is excellent. Also don't hesitate to give some of the weirder flavors a try. The pineapple basil donut was surprisingly good.

Justin Baker

And on the 8th day, God said add a fried egg to any biscuit for complete and utter deliciousness. On the 9th God ate their Chocolate Chocolate Doughnut and immediately God created Heaven. Amazeballs

Channing McAdams

The wait has gotten much better since they have found their rhythm. I got in and out with chicken biscuits in less than five minutes. Try a BLT biscuit with Mayo for a change if pace. Amazing!

Ivan Urlaub

Their maple bacon bar is uniquely amazing! Everything here is good. Very popular, so plan to take a number and wait in the morning / on weekends, even if you order just a donut or two.

Molly Hall

It's always so difficult to decide whether to get a biscuit or a donut . When I can't choose, I get both! Definitely try the fried chicken biscuit though, it's amazing.

Roy Williams

Soooooo Good!! This place is the Bomb!! If u don't know about then ur simply missing out!!

Charles Strickland

The Maple Bacon Bar is the best!! A donut and bacon , need I say more!

Shirley Liu

Cronies . Pre order 2 dozen ahead of time and share with friends. This way you'll never run into the problem of the store selling out early!

Justin Weber

The apple fritters are as big as your head and totally awesome. Just don't expect to be able to eat anything else you'll be so full. Great for sharing.

Justin Weber

For now, Rise is best as a 1-2pm treat on the weekends. Food is still fresh, but the line is gone. Some special items may have run out by then, but the standards are still available.

Michael Cox

Ridiculously delicious donuts and breakfast biscuit sandwiches . My buddy Jo and I basically got one of everything.

Mike Jones

Fried chicken biscuit ? Yes. Make that happen. It's brined, fried, and so, so juicy.

Alex Song

Try the vegetarian omelette biscuit for a slightly healthier option . It's got goat cheese , spinach , and tomatoes .

Get the pig in the blanket without the pig . It's just a spicy jalapeno-cheese biscuit . It's something you can't get anywhere else!

Sausage biscuit made with local sausage . All the doughnuts are great. Pet friendly outdoor seating .

Pretty much anything you can order is a win at the concept restaurant . Don't forget your pimento cheese !

All the donuts we have tried have been very good. The lamb biscuit was incredible.

Sausage biscuit is fantastic, especially with the Vermont White Cheddar . Be sure to clarify your order though.

Everything I've tried here has been excellent. The donut selection rotates.

They are filling but a bit expensive . Come early on weekends, the wait can get long and they run out of things

Biscuit sandwiches and donuts are so excellent

MM

closes at 2pm - even if customer's hand is on door, and they charge $0.54 for water. booo! I consider Rise the Lilly's pizza of doughnuts : superior taste w rough edges - either you get it or get mad.

Get the Yukon Gold Cake its transcendent!
