About the Business
Welcome to Rising Above Bakery
Located at 5 North Broadway, Nyack, New York 10960, Rising Above Bakery is more than just a bakery; it's a community hub where passion meets purpose. Founded by Shiri Reuveni-Ullrich, a speech therapist and avid baker, our bakery was born from the transformative power of baking. Shiri discovered that baking cookies could foster communication and joy among her nonverbal, autistic young adult students, leading to the creation of a space where individuals with disabilities can find their voice and live meaningful, independent lives.
Our new interim home at Rockland Community College in the heart of Nyack provides us with a full-size commercial kitchen and storefront. This exciting transition allows us to expand our team of bakers, increase our production of delicious bread and baked goods, and welcome the community to experience our offerings firsthand.
At Rising Above Bakery, we aim to secure a permanent storefront to further our vision of a community-building enterprise. We are committed to providing young adults with developmental disabilities the opportunity to learn valuable life and work skills, paving the way for an independent and fulfilling life.
We see ourselves at the intersection of three vibrant communities: our dedicated bakers-in-training and their families, our loyal customers, and our supportive friends and neighbors. Every handcrafted baked good you purchase supports this mission, offering our bakers the chance to hone their craft while building confidence and independence.
Our mission is to empower individuals to start each day with purpose, engage in social interactions, and thrive in an inclusive environment. Join us in savoring delightful treats while supporting a self-sustaining business that enriches our local community. Visit Rising Above Bakery today and be a part of our inspiring journey.
Reviews
"Truth is, I’ve tried to go to this place twice while it was apparently open, but the doors have been locked both times, so I’m kind of frustrated and don’t know when it’s actually open? I’m giving it five stars just because the idea is so great that there’s no reason not to, but I still want to actually experience it myself!"
"What an amazing bakery employing a wide range of special needs adults who make the most delicious breads muffins,cookies and other items..just picked up some things for the office..yummy..."
"Delicious bread! The cheddar jalapeno bread was the best!"
"My first time at this bakery and I pre-ordered a lot of different things. The maple pecan scones are amazing. Highly recommend. I love home made crackers and if you do too, do not miss the spelt crackers. I also thought the rye bread was top notch. Everything we got was good but those are the highlights. I will be back for sure. Lovely service and great space."
"The seeded spelt crackers are my favorite! I buy them whenever I can. The products are all high quality and support a very important bakery in our community."
