The smell of cinnamon fills the atmosphere making the bakery a pleasant place to sit and stay a while. Ms. Z took her time putting extra love into my hot chocolate which was rich and creamy! I ordered the classic bun which was by far the best cinnamon bun I have ever had. The ratio of frosting, filling and dough was perfection. You'll love every bite. If I lived locally I would come back OFTEN! 11/10 read more

To be clear this place is amazing...the reason for 4 stars is because I wish they were open later. Sometimes you just want them at 7pm and they are not open that late. The variety of toppings here is amazing and it really does make each one unique and can satisfy whatever craving you have in terms of a decadent chocolate dessert or a fruitier breakfast style treat. read more

This place is near downtown. It is pretty much what you'd expect. The aroma is strong, all the options highly sweet and indulgent. My cinnamon roll was piping hot and fresh, and I chose one of the default flavor options based on strawberries. If I wasn't hungry, I wouldn't have finished it. They had some other sweet baked goods and beverages. There was space to sit inside and out. The southern style can be a bit too unsubtle in its sweetness for me, but I think they achieved what they were going for. read more

Cinn City - Strawberry cinnamon roll - Cafes Near Me - Lynchburg, Virginia

This place used to have our favorite cinnamon rolls of all time. Such a let down now. They clearly downgraded the recipes across the board while upping prices (not sure when, I haven't been in a couple years). Very tough, overly sweet cinnamon rolls, and the icing is a lot worse too. I've never had to chew through such a stiff center before like that. Beignets also much worse and stale tasting. Walmart has better cinnamon rolls now :/ such a shame read more

If you're not already in a sugar coma just reading this, prepare to be! This cinnamon bun bakery in the heart of Lynchburg isn't just a place - it's a destination. From the moment you walk in, the warm, gooey aromas greet you like an old friend, and the friendly staff make you feel like you've stumbled into a secret cinnamon bun society. The flavors here are nothing short of mind-blowing - we're talking cinnamon buns that might just be more creative than your best Pinterest board. From classic, melt-in-your-mouth cinnamon perfection to bold twists, there's something for every sweet tooth. And don't even get me started on the cream cheese frosting... It's almost criminal how good it is. In a world full of mediocre pastries, this gem stands tall - and it's a must-visit for anyone who thinks the perfect cinnamon bun is just a pastry. 10/10 - would spiral into cinnamon bliss again. read more

When you walk it there is zero signs that they have gluten free options. Thankfully someone on yelp had posted about it because I would have never known. Staff was super helpful, warned us of cross contamination risks with toppings. But since it was slow they were able to go to the back for toppings for my kid. We truly appreciate that these places try and have options for everyone. I feel a little bad saying this, but I mean it will love, it wasn't the best gf cinnamon roll. GF tend to be dense and hard. These are the same. Maybe if you were able to get them right out of the oven. We would still order them again though. The other half of my family loved their glutenous cinnamon rolls! They were soft and melt in your mouth! A really fun concept, but so many choices! But after you decide on toppings you have to decide between buttercream and cream cheese toppings. We all went with cream cheese. While eating our rolls we noticed they have beignets... if we ever make it back we will for sure get those.... read more

Absolutely amazing food. I enjoyed everything I got and eating off my husband's food of course. The cinnamon rolls were absolutely to die for and you could tell they were freshly made. The service was great. Everybody's so helpful and they're so nice and they're so patient with you as you're trying to figure out what you want. The ambience of the restaurant is definitely clean and well thought out and I really enjoyed it and you could sit outside. read more

I came to try the beignets and they were really good. It was warm, light, and just the right amount per bite. They were tasty alone, I didn't need the side sauce. The cinnamon bun was nicely hot, soft, moist and sweet. It was not bad. The beignets were the star for me. The breve coffee drink was tasty. The service was good. It is a cute location. They have their own parking lot. read more

I really enjoyed the cinnamon buns I got here. I actually came in once before and got a blueberry lemonade bun, then told my boyfriend they had dairy free icing and we had to come back the next day. Second time around I got the salted caramel and he got the maple bacon one. Both were really good. They make them fresh in front of you, topping and all. They also have a full espresso bar and coffee drinks. The staff was friendly and it was a clean location. Will be revisiting next time we are in Lynchburg. I would recommend this to anyone looking for something sweet. read more

Stopped here to take a treat back to Hampton Roads and was pleasantly surprised. I thought the cinnamon buns would be the average run of the mill type, but they are not. These were huge and there is a variety of flavors as well as the option to build your own. The prices were reasonable for the size you get. The staff is always friendly when I stop in and never complains even when I decide to add on after they have already completed my order. The inside is a little small, but there is room to sit if you want to stay and eat there. Stop in and grab a cinnamon roll or five. You won't regret it. read more

We stopped by after having dinner at a nearby restaurant. My niece really likes coming here. Everything looked tasty! The service was fast. The inside of the shop was very clean and cozy. I didn't have anything on this visit but I'll definitely be back to try those beignets in a few months. Heck, I may even have a cinnamon roll too! They have a few parking options out front. A paid lot and street parking are also available. read more

If you have never been here.... please go. It is incredible! From the loaded down cinnamon rolls to their delicious egg brioches, you truly cannot go wrong. I have tried all the brioches and the smores and Oreo cinnamon rolls. Their beignets are great too but a little small. This is a close to perfect dessert place and definitely a dark horse in Lynchburg. read more

While in town I came across Cinn City on TikTok and several local guides, the variety of treats got my attention immediately. Upon my visit my date and I ordered Beignets, a mocha cappuccino, a cinnamon roll and a caramel frappe. Shortly after the hype wore down we tried everything out and were highly disappointed in the treats. The cinnamon roll was like biting into cement (clearly days old), the Beignets didn't have any flavor and the "strawberry syrup" we received didn't have any intention on sweeting this terrible treat (the consistency of water with food colouring). Won't be back, seems like a decent place to take a child too whose on good behavior for toppings and such on their cinnamon rolls- they wouldn't know the difference. read more

This is such a quaint cinnamon bun shop with an urban tone! It was my first time here and it was absolutely delightful!

Fantastic Cinnabon Buns There are several reasons why you could go to Cinn City. 1. You could go to this place for the flavors. Each visit is unique because of their vast array of Bun options. 2. You could go to this place for the prices. They're reasonable for the amount and price of food you're getting. 3. You could go to this place for the creativity. I cannot imagine getting some of these cinnamon bun creations anywhere else but here. But, I think the real reason you should go to Cinn City is it's niche. There's simply nothing else like it within a hundred mile radius. Go and support a sweet tooth's dream! read more

Got here at the crack of dawn and the buns were fresh out of the oven. I was hungry so I got one order of beignets and one normal cinnamon bun. Each were phenomenal in their own right. The beignets were freshly fried, covered in enough powdered sugar so that when you sighed out of relief after biting into the first one, the sugar poofs up and goes everywhere. The little puff of hot air in the center of each is akin to life's fleeting joys, the first snowflake of the season melting on your tongue, a sexy wink from a loved one, and now the first bite of a beignet from Cinn City. My only regret is that I didn't have enough stomach space for more of them. The cinnamon bun is also fantastic in its own right. The saddest thing about a cinnamon bun is the first edge bite when its dry or crumbly or sad. This bun is none of those things. It's firm but has the proper amount of crust to icing ratio as well as the gooey cinnamon filling to coat the inner part of its dough. It only gets better the deeper you go and leaves you wishing for more. The only critique I have is that the icing is a bit firm and is meant to melt over the bun but as mine had been freshly iced, some was a bit solid but was quickly melting as I ate it. Will be going back hungry for more! read more

I've passed by this place numerous times since it has opened. There was a lot of hype around it, but I just never actually took the time to check it out until yesterday. They have a decent selection from cinnamon rolls to beignets. Initially, I wanted the beignets, but changed my mind quickly and chose the cinnamon rolls. The different toppings were hard to choose from as they all looked delicious. The employees were friendly and greeted us upon entering the establishment. The place was clean, also. Disappointment took over when we received our cinnamon rolls and they were hard as a rock. I couldn't stick my fork through it nor could I slice it with the plastic knife provided. I am wondering if they gave us old cinnamon rolls. The toppings made the cinnamon roll slightly tolerable. I personally wouldn't consider returning here. read more

Lynchburg is Sin City, wait I spelled that wrong. It's Cinn City. The perfect place for people Who want to like Cinnamon buns, but find them not sugary enough. Cinn city starts with drenched cinnamon buns and then adds all kinds of sugar. Triple extra icing is a start, then add double fruit. I went for the strawberry almond Cinn thing. Cause the blueberry double icing with sugar on top sounded better as second dessert. read more

So glad we stopped here for coffee! Not only wet lattes extremely good, but they have a huge assortment of cinnamon rolls. I wish they could do some sort of sampler. There were too many to choose from. We decided to get the blueberry lemon roll and it did not disappoint. The frosting is so light and creamy!!! read more

My husband and I were staying in Lynchburg for just one night and happened to see a sign for "cinnamon rolls and beignets" that led us to Cinn City for breakfast in the morning! We arrived around 8:15 on a Friday morning and were the only two customers there. It was a bit dark inside, as if they hadn't really gotten started for the days yet. Some of the food in display cases looked like it might have been from the previous day. Everything did smell amazing though! I ordered three beignets with a side of raspberry filling sauce and a hot coffee. The beignets were hot and crispy on the outside, light and open on the inside. They were covered in powdered sugar and seemed fresh. The sauce went well with them. They also have chocolate and caramel sauces to choose from. My husband chose a cinnamon roll with chocolate chips and raspberry drizzle, along with hot coffee. Their menu includes a build your own cinnamon roll and they have tons of options for toppings and drizzles. He really enjoyed his choice. He agreed with some other reviewers' comments that the roll was more crusty on the outside than soft, but said it wasn't a problem for him. The coffee was not particularly special, but was hot. They have a little bar with cream and sugar to add yourself. Cinn City is definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! Go for the cinnamon rolls, stay for the beignets! read more

WOW. We decided to make a random pit stop here on the way home from a hockey game at Liberty and we are so glad we did!! What a gem! We came with a sweet tooth so we got a classic cinnamon roll, beignets, and the largest cookie sandwich I've ever seen! And EVERYTHING was good. The cinnamon rolls were warm and gooey. The frosting had the perfect sweetness to prevent the bun from being overly sweet. The beignets were hot and fluffy, we didn't even need the sauce cause they were so tasty on their own! And the cookie sandwich was cookie perfection. I got one bite and it was awesome. We will definitely be returning. I'm almost glad we don't live too near by cause this place would be dangerous for my waistline, for sure. read more

Omgosh, it would be cinnful if you're in downtown Lynchburg and not stop by this sweet spot. The staff is incredibly friendly and if you're unsure what to get or if it's your first time, their staff's recommendations won't do you any wrong... maybe add a lb here or there but still to die for. I got the four options they had instead of the build your own... and oh gosh, so fluffy and delicious. I also went ahead and got their beignets with the raspberry and chocolate sauces. I drove them thirty minutes to Bedford and they were still freakn delicious. Ok, maybe not like Cafe du Monde good but still oh so delicious. read more

Years ago while visiting a friend who lived in Lynchburg, she took me to Cinn City to have the "best cinnamon rolls every". Well fast forward a little and I'm back in Lynchburg for a wedding and naturally I have to stop by to see if it was as good as I remember (spoiler alert they were!). Very much on the sweet side (I got the Cookie Monster) I think kids (and adults with a sweet tooth) will love these! Coffee was good, I went with just a vanilla latte and the girl who was our cashier was so nice and patience with my indecisive boyfriend. I can't wait to go back next time I'm in Lynchburg! read more

Really delicious cinnamon rolls. They were perfectly made and were served hot. The cream cheese frosting was lathered on the top of the roll which created a perfect ratio!! Great for breakfast or a quick snack during the day! Make sure to get a drink too to complete the combination!! read more
