“Serving the best dang biscuits & donuts.”

‘Old School’, ‘New School’ and ‘Our School’ Doughnuts:

Rise is a unique doughnut shop in part because of its variety of flavors. “Old school” doughnuts include classics like plain glazed or chocolate frosted. The “new school” category features more avant garde flavors like s’mores and maple bacon. In addition to those categories, each Rise location has its own menu with specials like “Cheerwine Icing” (a spin off the cherry-flavored soft drink made in North Carolina) and “Salty Cap’n,” a caramel-glazed doughnut topped with the popular children’s cereal, Cap’n Crunch.

Biscuits:

The doughnuts are only part of what makes Rise so tasty. Each location features a biscuit menu with a variety of fillings to choose from, including eggs, cheeses and spreads. In the same vein as the doughnut menu, Rise also features biscuit specials such as a “Pig in a Blanket” or “Fried Green Tomato” biscuits.
