About Houlden's Rise Above
Houlden's Rise Above is a dedicated vegan bakery in Tucson, producing baked goods in a 100% vegan facility. The bakery offers a selection that includes croissants, cruffins, poptarts, cookies, cakes, and pastries. Its retail space operates on select days, with availability dependent on what remains in the case, and the bakery also supplies treats to wholesale partners around Tucson.
The bakery's menu centers on familiar pastry forms made without animal products. Croissants and cruffins are part of the regular selection, alongside poptarts and cookies. Cakes and other pastries are available through special orders, and the bakery accepts bulk orders as well. Because individual offerings can vary, Houlden's Rise Above posts its bakery menus to its Instagram grid, giving customers a current view of what is being made for the retail space.
Houlden's Rise Above also works with coffee shops, cafes, bookstores, breweries, and other local businesses that carry its goods. Wholesale partners listed by the bakery include multiple Presta Coffee locations, Coffee Times, Yellow Brick Coffee, Screwbean Brewing, WHOLE SLVCE, Sonoran House, Red Captain Coffee, Espressoul Cafe, Stacks Book Club, and Desert Drifter. The partner menu is posted daily in Instagram stories, so the available selection depends on the location and the day. The bakery notes that more places to find its goods are coming soon.
For customers looking for something beyond the regular retail menu, special orders for cakes and pastries are open, along with bulk orders and inquiries about wholesale accounts. The bakery directs those requests through its contact form. Its retail offerings are available until sold out, making the daily Instagram menu a useful way to see what is planned before visiting. The bakery's own retail space is in Tucson, while its wholesale network gives customers additional options at businesses throughout the city.
Houlden's Rise Above has also made food access part of its presence in the community. Meals for people facing food insecurity are available at the bakery during open hours, with no questions asked. Along with its retail baking and wholesale work, that effort reflects the bakery's role as a Tucson business serving both everyday pastry customers and people in need. Visitors can check the bakery's Instagram for the current menu, find its products through listed wholesale partners, or use the website's contact form to begin a special order or wholesale inquiry.
