A little story about us
We do business the old-fashioned way: honest, customer-focused, and community-driven.
The First Steps
Big ideas have small beginnings. Rise’n Roll’s history began in 2001 in Shipshewana, Indiana. A young Amish couple began baking recipes handed down in the woman’s family for generations. They sold baked goods from their front porch.
Our First Location
Over the years, they worked on perfecting the recipes, until in 2004 they opened the first Rise’n Roll Bakery in Middlebury, Indiana. The original bakery did not use any electricity, refrigeration, or modern technology. All of the mixing, sheeting, and prepping was done entirely by hand.
New Chapter
In 2009, the Amish owner sold the company to a non-Amish family. The new owners moved the bakery into a much larger facility. The original Amish owner stayed employed at Rise’n Roll and franchising began.
Flavor Continues
Still doing things the “old fashioned way”, and blessing customers, one at a time.
“The store is very clean with free samples thoughout. Staff is friendly too. I'm not a donut person, but the donut hole I sampled was amazing. The donut is pillowy soft and their signature cinnamon-caramel glaze/topping is lovely. Their cashew crunch was probably the best I've ever had. The brittle was just the right amount of hard and delivered such a satisfying crunch when you bite down. Crispy, buttery goodness. Perfect place to get gifts for family/friends!”

Middlebury, IN“Getcha some fantastic donuts from a small local chain. The staff were great, the coffee was tasty, and it doesn't take a lot of time or effort to get a delicious breakfast or pastries. We enjoyed our visit and if we're ever in the area again, we'll be sure to stop by.”
Armando J.
Elkhart, IN“Nice local Amish bakery and market. They are known for their cinnamon caramel donuts, appropriately named 'Amish crack'. Very addicting and usually have samples out for you to try. Aside from that, they have a host of other foods and goods celebrating Amish culture. You'll have to stop yourself from loading up your basket with everything you see.”
