Our Story

We are a neighborhood bakery located in Berthoud, Colorado, offering freshly baked artisan bread, New York style bagels, pastries, breakfast and lunch sandwiches. We focus on sourcing locally produced ingredients and scratch baking.

Good Food Starts Close to Home

We believe good food starts close to home. By partnering with local farmers, producers, and small businesses whenever possible, we help strengthen our local food system, support our community's economy, reduce food miles, and bring the freshest, highest-quality ingredients into our bakery.

Bread Should Be an Experience

At Rise Artisan Bread Bakery & Cafe, we pride ourselves in individually handcrafting each bread to achieve the perfect texture, crumb, and crust in every delectable bite. We believe in providing our customers with beautiful, quality products, and exceptional customer experience.

From Farm to Bakery

We began baking bread for customers on our farm, Harmony Circle Farm, in 2012, as a way to supplement farmers' market sales. To our dismay, we lost the lease on our farm after just 18 magical months. Wanting to continue providing this wonderful product, RISE Artisan Bread was born. The name chosen to remind us that great things can RISE from ashes; offering renewed hope.

After baking a loaf of bread as a thank-you for a friend, our first bread offerings after our rebirth were at our friends' coffee shop in Massachusetts. We are very grateful for the opportunity and we have continued to RISE from there.

Finding Our Home in Berthoud

Upon a re-location to Berthoud, CO in November 2014, we sought out local farmers' markets and participated in the Berthoud Local Farmers' Market, the Loveland Railroad Park Farmers' Market, the Mead Farmers' Market, and Greeley Farmer's Market. In 2016, a storefront opportunity presented itself and we decided to take the leap!

We are so grateful that we did. We love being your neighborhood bakery & cafe and adore our sweet community.
