Hi-Rise Bread Company

Only order online. They say your order will be ready in 20 minutes but 45 minutes later you'll still be waiting... Overpriced and crowded but quality products

Stopped in for a breakfast sandwich before heading on a long drive. Food was delicious, and the coffee was good and energizing.

On the whole, in the past I've been pleased with the food and service. But today an employee made me feel like a total jerk with his heavy, sarcastic "No problem" when I thanked him politely for my coffee. Maybe a one-time thing, but it was so off-putting that I don't feel like going back any time soon. I think the employees may be underpaid and that this breeds resentment, especially when the prices are so high.

Really nice place to enjoy a decent slice of toast that takes 15 minutes and costs $6. I want to like this place, but I need to be able to pick up a coffee and a cookie on my way to the library without waiting 10 minutes and spending $8 Short staff? There were 5 people working there, two customers at a table, and me waiting at the counter.

A West Cambridge Cafe with an artisanal charm. Took a visit this morning to grab some breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted by the indulgent smell of a freshly baked bread as they had a dedicated section for baking fresh bread. Alongside a curated selection of wine and whiskey, they also had a corner showcasing an array of house-made preserves and granola, which collectively contributed to its rustic yet refined local marketplace vibe. Since there were a lot of negative reviews regarding their food, we initially didn’t have high expectations for their food. Admittedly, being the first customer of the day, the twenty-minute wait for two simple breakfast sandwiches seemed a tad lengthy. The oat milk latte was also a bit too mild for my taste, yet the pastries and the sandwiches more than made up for it. Both the Hungry Pickle and Luke Rocks the Free World sandwiches boasted perfectly crispy buns that added a satisfying crunch to each bite. Even the simpler Brekkie Supreme sandwich, which didn't appear freshly made, was surprisingly good. From the pastries, we had the Orange Coconut and Maple Pecan Scones, and both were nice treats – moist, buttery, and exquisitely crafted to my preferred taste. My experience at Hi Rise certainly exceeded my initial expectations. If you’re looking for satisfying breakfast sandwiches and pastries, I recommend giving them a try. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait for the sandwiches, but rest assured, these are well worth the patience.

There is a wonderful selection of sandwiches, baked items and some wine as well. I have stopped in a few times as I live near by, I have ordered online and in person both are very easy to navigate and pick up your order. My main complaint is the price, a full sandwich can be over $20 and the prices are not listed in the bakery. If money is no concern and you are in search of a delicious sandwich this is your place! They do offer half sandwiches, I would recommend ordering online so there is price transparency in what you are getting.
