A huge thank you to our amazing crew at Olga Rising. 🤍

Both our front-of-house and back-of-house teams have done an incredible job this summer, and I could not be prouder of them.

Summer has been whistling by, and somehow we’re already just a few weeks away from Labor Day. This year, Olga Rising made the big leap to being open seven days a week. It was a huge push, especially for our kitchen crew and bakers. At the same time, we’ve seen a pretty incredible surge in the demand for our biscuit sandwiches, which has added another layer to an already busy summer.

This summer we definitely “risked it for the biscuit”.

Our crew has definitely felt the extra weight of it all, but I continue to be impressed by their ability to show up, work together, and keep things moving. They have made an incredibly demanding season look far more seamless than it actually is behind the scenes.

I’ve learned some valuable lessons along the way, too. Growth is exciting, but it also comes with challenges, and sometimes growing has a price. I’m continuing to learn what works, what doesn’t, and when it’s time to make adjustments so we can take good care of both our customers and the people who make Olga Rising what it is.

As we head toward September, we’ll begin adjusting our days and settling into our fall schedule. For now, I just want to say how grateful I am for this crew and everything they’ve poured into Olga Rising this summer.

Thank you for carrying us through one very busy biscuit-filled summer. 🥐☕️🤍

Olga Rising is looking for an early morning biscuit baker to join our little island bakery crew.

This is not a “stand around and look busy” kind of job. This is flour on your pants, ovens roaring before sunrise, music playing in the kitchen, hundreds-of-biscuits-before-most-people-are-awake kind of job.

The ideal person:

• Likes early mornings (or has made peace with them)
• Can move with a little speed and rhythm once the day gets rolling
• Appreciates organized chaos
• Works well independently
• Has a good sense of humor
• Cares about quality and the little details
• Doesn’t mind smelling like butter for most of the day

Experience is great, but honestly, attitude and work ethic matter just as much here. We can teach the rest.

To apply, send us a message, resume, or just tell us a little about yourself and why you think you’d fit into the beautiful biscuit circus over here at Olga Rising. 🌿

Please inquire for more information about the details, pay, hours and environment.

Independent housing can be provided if needed.

Olga Rising has always been more than just a bakery and café. It’s the conversations across the counter, the familiar faces, the steady rhythm of a small island showing up for each other.

We feel so lucky to be part of it.

To say thank you, we’ll be sharing free mini cupcakes all day (8:00am–2:30pm) on May 12 here at Olga Rising. Just a small, sweet way to celebrate together.

From the bottom of our hearts—
thank you for supporting us, for cheering us on, and for making this little island bakery what it is.

We’re so glad you’re part of it. 🌿

We live in such an extraordinary place—this island is absolutely breathtaking. It’s easy to forget and take it all for granted, but today it feels like it’s asking to be noticed. Here are a few moments from my morning walk. 🌲
