"Supplying the sturdy, plush challah that holds many of Southern Pines Diner Car’s sandwiches together, Hi‑Rise Bread Company in Cambridge provides the soft, durable slices that make those engineered sandwiches possible." - Erika Adams
"Right across the street from La Royal, Hi-Rise Bread Company provides the restaurant’s hamburger buns." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"Around since 1996, this neighborhood mainstay offers a wide selection of artisan loaves — not to mention a lengthy menu of groceries, pantry staples, prepared dinners, cafe beverages, and spirits. The bread selection typically includes crusty sourdough batards, French-style sourdough boules, baguettes, and more. One might also find traditional Boston brown bread, Nordic rye, challah, and plenty of other options. Hi Rise also partners with some local restaurants, so don’t be surprised to find it on the table at, for example, Mistral." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"If you’re a bakery that sells homemade bread, pastries, and cases of good wine, then you’re doing something right in life. We really love everything about Hi-Rise, and it doesn’t hurt that it’s a large, airy room where you can sit and have lunch right next to the working bakers. Plato might not have had an ideal form for a bakery, but if he did, Hi-Rise would be in the running. Hi-Rise is currently open for takeout and delivery." - Joel Ang
"This casual Observatory Hill bakery — which has a second location in Porter Square — is run by René and Cynthia Becker, who also operate Italian spot Luce in Porter Square. Hi-Rise has been around since 1996, serving a wide array of sandwiches and breakfast dishes, all with bread made in-house. The Concord Avenue location also serves packaged to-go dinner entrees and sides on weeknights from 4:30 p.m. to close. There are also beers, wines, and liquor available for purchase." - Dana Hatic
