Strawberry Lemonade Cruffin at Houldens Rise Above — alleycatz's Review (Aug 21, 2023)

🍓 💛 Unbelievably delicious! 🍋 ❤️

Finally made it over to Houlden’s Rise Above a completely dedicated vegan bakery here in Tucson. I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate this special little place! The love and passion put into everything the owners do here (a wife & husband team) is truly inspirational.

When you walk in you are greeted with big smiles and a very cool ‘Animal Liberation’ glowing neon on the wall.

Scratch made, Local perfection.

The balance of tart and sweet was right on point. “Croissant dough swirled into a muffin tin, baked, then rolled in sugar, filled with lemon curd and strawberry jam.” (from the website.) Light & flaky on the outside-soft layers on the inside.

Absolutely worth the wait in line❣️ Get there early-They are open until sold out and it’s inevitable❣️

Everyone in line was so excited to be there for amazing vegan pastries. ❤️

Preorder Boxes are currently available on their website so it is possible to skip the line but it was way too difficult for me not to want to add a couple of things from the case on to my order!
