Yo yo ……

Ok Y’ALL ….IT’S TIME. 🥖☕️💛

The Rize Up Test Kitchen Café is now officially OPEN, the new menu is rolling, the coffee is flowing, and now we need YOU to come through and help us bring this place to life.

We built this café to be a gathering place. A place to eat, drink, hang out, run into somebody you know, meet somebody you don’t, and experience Rize Up in a whole new way.

So this week, we’re giving you a couple extra reasons to come see us:

☕️ BUY A LOAF → GET A FREE DRIP COFFEE

🍪 EARLY BIRDS GET THE SWEETS! The first 10 people EVERY MORNING who purchase a specialty coffee get a FREE SWEET TREAT.

Come try the new menu.
Come have breakfast.
Come grab a coffee.
Come take a loaf home.

But most importantly…..COME SEE US.

We’ve been working toward this moment for a long damn time, and it means everything to finally be able to welcome you through these doors.

WE ARE OPEN ON:
Wed-Sun // 7AM–2PM

1160 Howard Street,
San Francisco, Ca 94103

Come hungry.
Get caffeinated.
Come be part of what we’re building.

Instagram has been such a huge part of the Rize Up story.

It’s where we’ve been able to share this wild journey in real time—the wins, the struggles, the late nights, the early mornings, the bread, the growth, the mistakes, the celebrations, and all the little moments in between.

And somehow, along the way, followers stopped feeling like followers.

Because the truth is, if you’ve ever bought a loaf of our bread, pulled up to a farmers market, told a friend about us, sent us a message, shared a post, rooted for us from afar—or now walked through the doors of our café—you’re family.

Family shows up.
Family supports.
Family celebrates your wins and helps carry you through the hard s**t.

And y’all have SHOWED UP.

I feel incredibly honored that you’ve allowed Rize Up to become a small part of your lives, your tables, your mornings, your celebrations, and your families.

And I’m even more honored to consider all of you part of ours.

We’ve come a long way.

And somehow, it still feels like we’re just getting started.

Here’s to the future.
Here’s to family.
Here’s to whatever comes next.

RIZE UP. ✊🏾💛

I hardly ever look backwards.

I’m always looking forward. The next loaf. The next idea. The next problem to solve. The next thing we’re trying to build.

Because when I do stop and look back, if I’m being truthful, it can be a little overwhelming.

But this morning I’m sitting in this little café we built, drinking my first coffee, baking things I know people are going to walk through these doors and enjoy, and it hits different.

This was a dream.

For a long time, it was just an idea. Then it became a plan. Then a construction site. Then a thousand problems, a thousand decisions, a whole lot of sleepless nights, and a whole lot of people believing in us.

And now I’m sitting in it.

Coffee in my hand. Bread in the oven. Food being made. Doors about to open.

Goddamn.

I don’t know if I’ll ever get good at stopping long enough to appreciate where we’ve been. But today, I’m trying.

I cannot wait for all of you to come sit with us. Eat something. Drink some coffee. Break some bread. Laugh. Hang out. Make this place what we always hoped it could be — a place for people.

And on the night of September 10th, we’re throwing a Grand Opening party.

Come celebrate with us.

We are so damn excited.

I can barely hold it in.

Welcome to the Rize Up Test Kitchen Café.

We made it. 💛

On the other side of Karl, and the beautiful bridge that needs no introduction you can find Rize Up bread on the shelves.

Shoutout to our friends at Nugget Market
a family-owned Northern California grocery institution since 1926.

Nearly 100 years of showing up for their communities with exceptional quality, locally sourced products, and the kind of genuine care that’s impossible to fake.

These are our people.

Rize Up bread is now on shelves at 3 Nugget Markets locations across Marin:
📍 Novato
📍 Corte Madera
📍 Tiburon

Cross the bridge and go grab a loaf.

You already know what it is. 🍞❤️

There has been so much work happening behind the scenes to get this café across the finish line.

Long days. Long nights. Construction. Decisions. Problems to solve. Learning things I never thought I’d need to learn. And a whole lot of people showing up and helping us keep moving forward.

One of the biggest parts of this journey has been ICA and the Incubator program.

Over the last few years, they’ve helped me make connections, find resources, think differently about the business, and — probably most importantly — learn what it actually means to grow into being a better CEO and leader.

Building Rize Up has never just been about making great bread. It’s been about building something that can last. Building community. Building opportunity. Building a company that takes care of its people and hopefully leaves the world a little better than we found it.

And I’m still learning every damn day.

I’m incredibly grateful for all the people who have been working, teaching, connecting, pushing, believing and helping behind the scenes.

We are so close to opening these doors.

And trust me…

Stay tuned. We’ve got a whole lot of cool stuff coming. 💛🍞🔥
