![This artisan bakery is a must-visit in Eastbourne, but could be easily missed in favour of other businesses closer to the town centre. Tucked away at the end of Terminus Road by the seafront, To the Rise is very popular with locals who are 'in on the secret'. The business was founded by three sisters in 2020 and specialises in 100 per cent sourdough bread. They also offer a huge range of sweet and savoury pastries - including several vegan options - mouthwatering sandwiches and delightfully strong - and delicious - coffee.](https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/webimg/b25lY21zOjIzZWE3YmFkLThkNzctNDk0MC1hM2I5LTQ0MjY0M2IwNjM5YjpkMTQ1MWFmNC1iZDdlLTQ2ODMtOTZmOS1jYjVmMWFlNDJkYzA=.jpg?crop=3:2&width=640)
