There’s often a bit of a line, but it moves fast. The donuts and biscuits here are excellent. Really enjoyed everything. We bought a box of donuts and 2 biscuit sandwiches. All really good.

This place is amazing. I’ve tried several things and have yet to be disappointed. Today we decided to see if they were open despite the snow and ice. Not only were they open, but everyone was friendly and chatty. If anyone was mad that they had to drive to work in ice and snow, you would never know it. I ordered a chicken biscuit with pimento cheese. It was AMAZING! Other things we have tried that are worth a second order include the maple bacon donut, pig in a blanket, the carrot cake donut, apple fritter, sausage and egg biscuit, and the cheer wine donut. Go there hungry! There are so many yummy things to choose from and you won’t regret it!

Even snow flurries can’t keep the crowds away from Rise. We went late morning on Sunday and there were people queued up all the way to the door to get their biscuits and donuts. This is the first time I had been to this Falls of the Neuse location. It is roomier than the Southpoint location, but smaller than the Morrisville one. While waiting in line, you have an excellent view of their rotating case of donuts, tempting you to break that New Year’s resolution. I so badly wanted to try the S’mores donut, but they were out along with the Crème Brulee and Cheerwine donuts. The donuts that we did get were really good. I liked them better than I have previously, probably because I arrived earlier than I normally do so they were more fresh. We tried the apple fritter, maple bacon, caramel apple butter and the old fashioned. The apple fritter was my favorite. I also ordered a chicken biscuit with pimento cheese, which was as good as I’ve had at the other locations. But the potato hashcake was disappointing when comparing it to previous visits. It didn’t seem like it had been fried long enough and was lacking in salt. While the food is good, in my opinion it is still a little expensive for breakfast. But I’m willing to splurge for its goodies every once in awhile.

I’m not sure how people can wait until they get home to eat their delicious smelling donuts, but that’s what everyone seems to be doing. You wait in a super long line, and then get your food to go. Not my thing, but they are seriously lacking in seating. There is a bar with a few stools and maybe three tables outside. I ordered a Nutella donut and a plain biscuit, just so I could try one. My husband ordered a chocolate cake donut and a biscuit with eggplant bacon. This was a rare case of my husband ordering better than me. I liked the cake donut better than the yeast. The biscuits by themselves are not that great, but the toppings make them special. I much prefer the similar, Monuts donuts in durham, but since we don’t have that on Raleigh, I’m sure I will be back.

Stopped by with my two kids for the first time. They were out of the two truly classic donuts on the menu: chocolate frosted and cinnamon twist. But my kids were happy with the vanilla sprinkles we settled in. It was incredibly fresh and amazingly sticky — the kids loved it! I also got a crème brûlée donut to try one of the fancy«new school» varieties. It was good, but ultimately the novelty of the flavor was the main draw, not the donut itself. I got a biscuit with eggs, bacon, and cheese. I had heard that the real treat at Rise was the biscuits, and that is hereby confirmed! Wow — what a crazy good biscuit!!! One suggestion for the restaurant is to add a couple long, communal-type tables for additional seating. Right now there is minimal seating and lots of wasted space, and adding just a little more seating(where my kids could actually sit) would be nice. We’ll definitely be back!

Love the Southpoint Rise and this one is so much closer to my house and the food is even better. Quality is just through the roof. Would love to see some more experimentation like Rise used to do back in the day when the menu changed more often. Bring me the occasional exotic meat biscuit or new donuts with unique flavors on a regular basis and I will be in every week.

Take all the great 5 star reviews, multiply them by 873, and you’ll *almost* understand the awesomeness that is Rise. Toasted biscuit+any topping=religious experience Even things I don’t like(carrot cake) I end up loving once it gets Rise-biscuitfied!

I’d like to give 4 ½ stars but can’t, so a 4 it is. Went to the Morrisville Rise today and will definitely be back to taste the other menu items.(in particular the monthly specials, so i have 2 weeks) for the steak biscuit and the mushroom & rosemary gravy biscuit. The donuts at lunch time didn’t have as much variety due to the Christmas shoppers, otherwise i’d be telling you about the bacon maple donut, maybe next visit. Today My wife, daughter & I got the chicken biscuit, another daughter got the eggplant«bacon» biscuit. all VERY tasty. The chicken was well seasoned, not too greasy, the biscuit was way better than a chick fila or bojangles biscuit. All in All, i’d get it again. The eggplant was a bit salty plain,(but I love salty) but wasn’t bad with the biscuit. The shop is designed to order & go, but there are a few stools along the side of the shop if you decide to eat in as we did. For the big kid in you, or your younger ones, there is a chalk board. Elite Unilocalers, join me in writting your names & year… i’ll be back as i stated earlier, i like a biscuit in the morning.

Finally had a chance to check out the newest of locations after Church. It is nestled in Sutton Square, which can have its moments with parking. We were lucky to get a spot right up front. My kids who love nuggets and donuts were super excited to finally be coming here. Both looked over the cabinet with delectable donuts and made their choices and ran off to the small kids area. One sprinkle and a chocolate frosted. I was tempted by the maple bacon bar but having not eaten I decided on a mushroom and rosemary gravy biscuit. My husband opted to have the brisket biscuit. No wait for the donuts but a bit of a wait for the biscuits. Well worth the wait as both of us devoured our biscuits. My gravy was flavorful and not too salty, which is what usually happens to biscuit gravy. My husband was nice enough to share a vote of his brisket and it was moist and delicious. Both kids proclaimed best donuts and devoured theirs without being asked twice. I was lucky to snag bites from both and they were soft and fresh. There is limited seating but they do have a few tables outdoors which will be nice in warmer weather. We will be back!

This place is a great find! Although not a lot of places to sit and eat. The display case of donut is genius. The flavors are unique and quite delicious. Very quick and friendly staff.

So happy that Rise is expanding & even more so that there’s a location five minutes from my house. Rise is so inviting — bright shops, great graphics & clean & snappy looking employees, who are also super friendly. Doughnuts are the highlights — raspberry filled is my favorite, but their biscuits are yummy, too. Get the sausage, egg & cheese biscuit! Delicious. I tried a hash cake for the first time last week. It was amazing! Get there early before your favorite doughnut gets sold out.

Sometimes when a business starts opening multiple locations at once, the quality of the product seems to go down… but thankfully that is not the case with Rise! We ventured out to the new falls of Neuse location early one Sunday morning and were surprised to find that we quickly got through the line, and their product was just as good as at the original location. If you’re looking for a fun place to catch a quick creative breakfast biscuits, and some good donuts give rise a try. They are a little pricey compared to some donut places, and They’re not exceptionally amazing but they are two thumbs way way up, especially compared to national chains, or what you’ll find in the grocery store. My personal favorites are any of their yeast donuts, but their cake donuts are also very good. Flavors are always on the move and changing so go often and see what creative things they have to offer!

We went here around 1:15pm on a Sunday and it wasn’t as crowded as I expected from previous reviews, but there were several people waiting for food. They were out of a lot of donuts(as expected) but we got a raspberry jelly filled one and a maple bacon one. I really enjoyed the raspberry one but I did not try the maple bacon. We also got biscuits, I got bacon and pimento cheese which was delicious! I thought it was a little pricey for biscuits and donuts, I think it was around $ 23 for 3 biscuits(bacon/cheese, bacon/pimento cheese, sausage/egg/cheese) and 2 donuts, but still worth it for a weekend outing. One thing I did not like about it was that there wasn’t a lot of seating inside and the available seating was being occupied by people waiting on food. We sat outside and there are 4 or 5 tables outside but it was pretty cold when we went and didn’t enjoy sitting outside.

Plan accordingly! First time we went was at 1:30 on a Sunday shortly after they first opened in this location. Sadly, not a drop of a doughnut remained(they close at 2). They have a sign right at the counter that tells you which doughnuts they are out of. It was full. Our fault though that we left empty-handed. Should have timed it better! Couple days later and Husband surprised me after work with some that were left-over from a business meeting. While yummy, they weren’t the ones I would have selected. Plus, well, they had been sitting out for awhile. We all know doughnuts need tender loving care if not consumed immediately. #men at work, sigh So bring on Rise experience #3 and we’ve got the WINNER! 11:00 on a Sunday and while busy, they had lots of staff to get everyone taken care of at a nice pace… taking orders, filling orders, and a bunch more making things fresh. Which meant, we got to take home the dream combo of pistachio-glazed, crème brûlée and maple bacon. Now this gal has literally waited years to time it right to try a Rise crème brûlée, and it was indeed worth the wait! Maple bacon was also what dreams are made of, and I hadn’t even heard of pistachio-glazed, but may I say… brilliant! All, so soft and fresh. Perfect for sharing. Price-wise, at $ 2.50 each for both the crème brûlée and the maple bacon, and $ 1.75 for the pistachio-glazed…I think that is super reasonable for the size and level of quality. We also noted some great-sounding biscuit choices including very unique ones like a Meatball Biscuit with Coconut Curry Sauce. And Husband was eyeing the brisket biscuit and Jane Dough’s famous potato hash cake with cheddar cheese for future reference(too bad we had already had breakfast). Do note that there’s a very limited amount of seating available(both inside and out), so be prepared to grab and go.

Do you know I’m happy I am they opened a Rise in my neighborhood! Unfortunately, so is everyone else, so going on a weekend in next to impossible. So I popped in on a Monday morning when I was off and got a brisket biscuit and chocolate chocolate donut and of course, they didn’t disappoint. On opening day, we bought a dozen donuts and had a donut hangover! Not bad! Favs: pumpkin, captain crunch, apple fritter, crème brûlée., and the gingerbread. Next on my list to try: the strawberry shortbread. I do like the different design from the Durham location, looks more hip, and there is more space. Can’t wait to see all the new creations!

I haven’t had any luck with my donut obsession in North Raleigh until Rise came along. Let me tell you, they have deliciously baked fresh yumminess! I have yet to experience the line out the door but I’d wait, even with an impatient two year old. I love the chocolate frosted donuts. The warm chocolate frosting just drips off and obviously that can’t wait until I get home. I’ve tried the old fashion strawberry, crème brûlée, and vanilla sprinkles and none of them disappointed. They have limited seating inside. You can usually find me in the hallway standing at the counter juggling my warm fresh donut and my daughter. They have additional seating outside and that will come in handy when it warms up. Service is friendly and speedy. Ooh and their handmade sausage patty biscuits are quite scrumptious too!

Today(opening day) was my first time at Rise at any of their locations and it was outstanding. The line was out the door from all the excitement. Me and my wife got 3 donuts and a bacon egg and cheese biscuit. It is hard to pick a favorite because they were all so fluffy and sweet. I’m a huge sweets fan and this absolutely hit the spot! If you haven’t tried any of their locations then I highly suggest you change that today!
