Our story

We start where most kitchens sleep

We are an artisan bakery built around delectable memories, careful lamination, seasonal flavors, and the quiet hours before sunrise.

Rise by Dawn

Time is our first ingredient

Rise by Dawn was founded in 2026 by baker Dawn Alexander. With almost 30 years experience, she has turned her passion for baking and community into an artisan bakery that feels like home.

We hope you'll gather your loved ones and come indulge yourselves in some of the finer things. High quality ingredients, old family recipes, and great company.

No preservatives. No shortcuts. Just time, heat, flour, and a whole lot of love.
