After four years of steady growth, Rise & Thrive Bakery is celebrating the launch of a second location in the Riverside District—a milestone made possible by the very neighbors who love its fresh bread and pastries. Owners Tasha and Marcus Webb initially opened the bakery in a converted garage, with start-up funds pooled from friends, relatives, and a small community loan initiative. Demand soared thanks to their signature sweet rolls and artisanal breads, often incorporating culturally inspired flavors reflecting the city’s diverse tastes.
The new storefront boasts an expanded menu and a community gathering space for cooking demos and pop-up brunch events. “We always said this wouldn’t just be a business—it’d be a hub for people to connect,” Marcus Webb remarked, cutting the ribbon at the grand opening. A portion of Rise & Thrive’s earnings continues to fund a local micro-grant program for aspiring chefs, reinforcing the bakery’s mission to elevate homegrown talent. As lines grow longer each morning, Tasha Webb quips that they may need yet another expansion sooner than expected.
