Our story
We start where most kitchens sleep.
Rise by Dawn began in 2026 when baker Dawn Alexander turned her love of laminated pastry into a neighborhood bakehouse on wheels.
We use cultured butter, seasonal fruit, and fine chocolate, then shape and finish every pastry by hand before sunrise.
No preservatives. No shortcuts. Just time, heat, and flour.
