vegan cinnaholic addiction
14November 11th, 2010bay area, more restaurants (not LA)cinnaholic is an all vegan cinnamon roll bakery (yeah, you heard me right) that opened in berkeley earlier this year. they have gotten rave reviews from many trusted blogs…and i can finally confirm that this place is WORTH THE HYPE!
just think about it. an all vegan cinnamon roll parlor with “build-your-own” options that range from root beer flavored frosting, to pie-inspired rolls, to toppings like cookie dough and vegan marshmallows. there is just one word for it: INSANITY! i can’t even believe that a place as wonderful as cinnaholic exists.
while it’s sad that cinnaholic is located a whopping 6 hours away from los angeles, i’m happy to report that they can ship cinnamon rolls to hungry vegans around the nation! recently on twitter, i was tweeting bummed out messages about how i hadn’t tried cinnaholic yet. within like 30 minutes, they replied to me and offered to send me some of their goodies. of course i said yes!!! damn, i was so excited to try these rolls, and they ended up being even better than i imagined.
cinnaholic sent me two rolls with two different frosting flavors, maple and caramel. they came with easy to use instructions, and after just a few minutes in the oven they turned into warm mounds of gooey goodness.
seriously, i have never had cinnamon rolls this delicious…vegan or not. the frosting was so sweet and melty and the rolls were moist and flaky. i can only imagine how wonderful these things would be right out of the oven. and if plain rolls with just frosting are this good, they must be crazy delicious with added toppings! i am contemplating taking a trip to berkeley soon just so i can eat a vegan cinnamon roll drenched in vanilla frosting and covered in cookie dough and brownie chunks.
if you are anywhere near northern california, get over to cinnaholic ASAP. if you live far away, you can order cinnamon rolls by the dozen as well as frosting shots online. 12 may seem like a lot of cinnamon rolls, but trust me, i could get through a dozen of these in a couple days. oh, and they freeze well too!
i am still getting over the fact that an entirely vegan cinnamon roll bakery even exists. damn, this is such an exciting time to be alive! thank you, cinnaholic!

R is sitting next to me and just GASPED at those photos. Then she immediately demanded to know if you’ve been to Sticky Fingers in DC and had their size-of-your-head-sticky-bun because one can’t really claim to be a cinnaholic unless one travels for sticky buns. This is all her words not mine, but inquiring minds want to know.

The trip from LA to Berkeley will be more than worth it. I’m glad I live across the bay…just far enough to keep me from eating 3 meals a day at Cinnaholic. And while you’re here, don’t forget to check out Flaco’s for all vegan Mexican food.

That’s where I went to college, UC Berkeley!!
They did not have too much vegan stuff around back then. Great to know these are available there now. The photos look marvelously appetizing 😀 -
Oh, those look so tempting. Hmmm…maybe I need to go to the Bay Area…like right now! Thanks for sharing. I’ll definitely check them out next time I’m up there.

haha it is indeed an exciting time to be alive. Again, I think Cinnaholic needs to and would profit greatly from opening up a second spot in LA.

I thought I was weaning myself from my Cinnaholic addiction but these pictures just brought on the withdrawal symptoms!!!

I think a taste test needs to happen STAT. I know someone will be in DC for dissertation defense soon…
