Hi-Rise Bread Company

Hi-Rise Bread Company is a family-owned bakery, café, and grocery store established in 1996 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Founded by René Becker, the company has grown to become a beloved neighborhood institution. It offers a diverse range of high-quality, handmade products.

Product Offerings

At the heart of Hi-Rise's offerings are their breads, crafted from organic whole wheat, corn, and rye sourced from independent mills. Their pastries are made with extra-rich European-style butter and local fruits.

This results in tarts, pies, and other treats that highlight the flavors of the region. In addition to baked goods, the menu includes a variety of sandwiches, soups, salads, and prepared dinners, all made from scratch daily.

Notable items include the Avocado Toast, Cinnamon Coffee Cake, and Broccoli Cheddar Soup.

A second location at 145 Huron Avenue, also in Cambridge, focuses on sweet treats and is a short walk from the original site. Hi-Rise has also participated in regional farmers' markets, bringing their products to a wider community.
