About Us
Our Process
We bake fresh every day.
We love seeing the delight on our customer’s face when they bite into a freshly made cupcake or muffin.
We have five daily cupcake flavors and 25+ rotating flavors as our menu changes every day! We love having our regular Monday customers visit us on a Thursday to try something new!
We serve breakfast daily and have an extensive drink menu including coffee, matchas, hand-pressed lemonade, and mimosas.
At the end of the day, it’s important for us to give back to our community. We partner with Caritas Austin, an organization that works to end homelessness in Austin and provides a free meal to those in need. We have donated over 1,000 pounds of food to our friends at Caritas!










Meet the Owners
We are the Reis family and Rise is our family business.
Jason is a jack of all trades and has worked in many industries, but his passion always brings him back to food and hospitality. He loves engaging with our customers and doubles as one of our bakers. He has always enjoyed being in the kitchen.
Stacy loves all things dessert, and every family vacation includes looking up the local bakeries and trying something new! Some of our customer favorites include Cinnamon Coffee Cake, Apple Spice and Banana Nut Muffins, and Pecan Tarts. These are recipes that she has made for many years with and for her family. When she’s not taste-testing, she works in corporate finance.
When the opportunity to open a family-owned bakery and coffee shop arose, we believed that we had all of the pieces to make a go for it! While we originally started in a partnership with an amazing local bakery, we made the decision to branch out on our own. This change allowed us to widen our menu and make changes, ultimately meeting the needs and requests of our customers!
Reviews
I had a late-afternoon sweet tooth and searched for nearby bakeries — that’s how I stumbled upon this gem! They offer both mini and full-sized cupcakes, which I love because it let me sample several flavors at once. Every bite was delicious — honestly, these might be some of the best cupcakes I’ve ever had. They have five classic flavors plus twenty-eight rotating ones, and I can’t wait to go back and try them all!

Run, don’t walk to Rise coffee and bakery. The cupcakes are divine. If you prefer small bites, their mini muffins are the perfect size. I just tried the kolache, which is a lighter than most and very tasty. The cafe itself is very cute…a nice place to sip tea or coffee with a friend or on your own.

I LOVE this place so much!!! The cupcakes are always a hit for my sweet tooth. The mini cupcakes here are good if you don’t want a big one. I love how they have gluten free cupcakes that are delicious! We tried the quiche was really good too, it had meat inside. The staff is super friendly and communicates well. Me and my sisters are obsessed with this place that we come so much and even pair it with the ice cream place nearby.

Rise is such a cute coffee shop and bakery! My mom and I stopped in yesterday and got 2 iced cold brews and some mini cupcakes. The coffee was delicious and the mini cupcakes were to die for. There were so many different cupcakes flavors to choose from. The staff was so friendly and the atmosphere was great! It was the perfect end to our mom/daughter date.

A charming little coffee shop with an impressive variety of cupcake flavors! The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and the space is surprisingly roomy with plenty of seating. They even have a cute Instagram-worthy photo spot that adds a fun touch to the visit. Prices are very reasonable too. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area

Delicious cinnamon cake - not too sweet, great cinnamon flavor, and the pecans were a great addition! The coffee is great as well, the barista/baker even asked how sweet I wanted the coffee which I've never experienced but resulted in a perfectly sweet coffee! Very clean environment and super kind and considerate staff!

We absolutely love this south Austin gem!! Their cupcakes are amazing, and the minis are so affordable you can get them for a party or pick up a little after school/work/etc treat. They have a huge variety of flavors and bake them fresh daily. The coffee bar is also excellent, and they have decaf which I really appreciate! The owner and employees are all super nice. Don't miss out.

Rise Coffee and Bakery is hands-down one of my favorite spots! Their cupcakes are absolutely delicious. I haven’t had a bad one yet. Every single flavor is spot on, moist, and full of flavor. And the coffee… wow. There’s truly no better way to start the day than with a cup from here. The combination of amazing baked goods and perfectly brewed coffee makes Rise the kind of place you look forward to visiting again and again. Highly recommend!
