"I watched Rize Up Bakery grow out of a pandemic-era effort by Azikiwee “Z” Anderson to create community by making bread for his neighbors; after posting a loaf on Instagram he began receiving orders, started shipping bread across the country, moved into a commercial kitchen, and made a name for himself selling at farmers markets, Bay Area grocery stores, sandwich shops, and restaurants. He emphasizes that sourdough must be fed daily and that "Sourdough is a colony of naturally occurring yeast and bacteria. We’re their caretakers and they take care of us back." Rize Up also gives back through a "Pay It Forward" program where purchased loaves are sent to local food kitchens and shelters." - Natalie Zimmerman
"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

"Setting up a satellite bakery at the Table United Methodist Church in Sacramento, San Francisco’s Rize Up Bakery founder Azikiwee Anderson announced on Instagram that the snug but fully built-out space will let him test the market there; he plans to offer a weekly subscription option and to watch Instagram for further updates. It’s been a big week for Rize Up — the bakery was also recently featured in a Comcast Business commercial that aired during the Olympics." - Justine Jones
