"Rize Up started as an at-home bakery and you can now find their bread at countless farmers markets, restaurants, and grocery stores throughout the Bay. Their sourdough loaves are plump and satisfyingly round, with an exterior that’s crusty without tearing up the roof of your mouth. They also go beyond a plain loaf—when you’re in the mood for a sweet-leaning ube or going savory with jalapeño, bacon chunks, and cheddar, you’ll find it here." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
