RISE Artisan Bread Bakery & Cafe

It is great that Berthoud has a coffee/bakery shop at that location. The baked goods are tasty, although gluten-free items are extremely limited. Another problem is that the employees refuse to serve water to paying customers. When asked why, they blamed the Health Department (?!), which makes one wonder. Another possibility is that they just don't want to do the extra work involved in giving their customers a glass of water or putting out a water jug and paper cups.

Tried their mocha. They use Monin dark chocolate syrup. The 16oz was light on flavor - could have used more chocolate. Busy place when we stopped in. One gf muffin that was ok. I tried their coffee cake which was also just ok. Not bad treats, but not the greatest I’ve had. Picnic tables outside make this a nice place to hang out, but not the coffee shop for those wanting to plug in and work sandwiches sounded amazing, and could be made gluten free but it was too early to do lunch. I’d go back for lunch, but not sure I’d do the mocha again.

Really great sandwich shop. Really understanding, knowledgeable, and helpful with food allergies and food sensitivities (dairy and gluten). Very kind staff and inviting atmosphere. Delicious sandwiches!
