I ordered two large original cinnamon rolls, excited because I don't have Cinnabon where I live in Maui. Unfortunately, they were disappointing--there wasn't enough frosting, and the parts without icing were noticeably dry. The cinnamon flavor didn't pop, and the rolls didn't seem as fresh as I remembered from past visits. After not having Cinnabon for many years, I had really been looking forward to that soft, gooey experience, so it was a letdown. That said, the line wasn't too long, and everybody working was really nice. The rolls on display looked amazing, and the aroma was incredibly inviting--the store itself smelled exactly like a Cinnabon should. There were a bunch of teenagers working, though I'm not sure that affected the product. Parking was in the mall parking garage, and while that's not ideal, we were able to find a spot close to the food court, which was convenient. Overall, three stars--it's okay and better than nothing if you've been craving a Cinnabon, but this location didn't quite live up to the classic, fresh, gooey experience I remembered. read more

Unfortunately I think the spell Cinnabon used to cast over me is long gone. Of course the smell is amazing and that's what brings buyers in. They have a ton of options now besides cinnamon rolls. However, even tho baked there, it's just not as good as I remember. My man got two churros and they were stale. And expensive and small. SMH. It was bogo for those and I was down for just the one but he can't say no to a "deal"...but it just was not it so kinda a waste of money. The cinnamon roll was good but slightly dry. I thought they baked these fresh for some reason (like wetzels pretzels) but I saw a worker putting them in frozen so that kinda made me not want to order again. I've had better fresh desserts now so this might just be a childhood memory of mine now lol. More for my younger palette. The workers were ok, I did inquire on some of the items and they were not that enthusiased or interested in explaining. read more

This is the second time I've ordered. I was disappointed both times. Today I ordered four pecan topped rolls. I did not understand that you were just going to put a handful of nuts in the icing . The pecans were stale and so were your rolls. I ordered for 11 a.m. delivery, knowing that the store opened at 10 a.m. hoping that I would get fresh buns. I assume I got what ever was left over from yesterday cause they are stale too. With delivery fees and tax they were nearly $10 each. What a waste of money. read more

How can the staff be sweeter than the actual Cinnabon, This location has restored faith in humanity and gooeyness. I was left Hanging when my Baker forgot to make a cake and it was a Holiday weekend everyone was sold out of anything edible and I'm less than an hour from closing. I made it to this location with 15min to spare thinking at all would be left are the crumbs. Nope, they had made me 2 racks of rolls Box them all right in front of me, could not be fresher unless they baked it in my mouth. They even reminded me to get a little extra frosting incase I was doing candles. They saved the event in that everyone there was reminded of how much they missed Cinnabon, and how it was added back to their places to enjoy. I was in such a rush to get back that I didn't get the names of the crew but I tell you this place has hired well. I will now add Cinnabon back to my guest list. read more

I came here at 1:30pm ready to purchase the 15-pack of minibons. The employee said they don't have any. So I asked them if they can make it while I walk around the mall. Their reply is they don't have the dough to make them. What kind of business are you in if you don't have the ingredients needed to make your product? This is sad. It's like McDonald's not selling fries because they don't have the potatoes to make them. If you want Cinnabon, I recommend Las Americas. Plaza Bonita just plain sucks! read more

I've lost my sweet tooth long ago, but in a wild blue moon I will want something sweet. Stopped by after the movies before closing and got my usual cinnabon and cinnastix that comes with cream on the side. I used to get the cinnabon with pecans on top too. Although too overly sweet for me nowadays, they used to be my favorite especially straight out of the oven. read more

Usually this place gives decent sweets with no biowarfare, however today I was blessed with a little hair at the top. The service is decent enough. I mean, I've been going here for years and it's been in the mall for years but I think it's just straight up foul to have food cost as much as it does with hair in the icing. The icing they put on everything and put in little containers. The whole batch is now contaminated. Fix it for next time. Please. But there will not be a next time for me and someone should really inspect this establishment. read more

Must stop by every time I visit Plaza Bonita. These cinnamon roll heaven is located on the top level of Plaza Bonita mall. These cinnamon rolls are ooey gooey, hot, mouthwatering luscious and buttery. You can smell them from a mile away. Try and catch them when they are fresh out of the oven... and they will melt in your mouth. They are a little pricey ($5) for an original cinnamon roll but well worth it. These cinnamon rolls are definitely a shareable size, so grab an extra fork. The caramel pecan bun are my favorite. It's a regular cinnamon bun topped with chopped pecan and drizzled caramel. Sensational. There is an extra change for pecan and caramel. read more

The Cinnabon itself if same with any other location.. yummy gooey, sweet, cinnamon. MMmMmmm! I don't get Cinnabon often, but when I do I always stick the the classic. The only thing about this particular location, is the attitude of the employee helping me... here's the situation.. it's nurses week and they offer a free Cinnabon to nurses who present their badge.. I didn't have my badge bc I leave it in my work bag... I told the employee that I didn't have it, but that I had my actual nursing license I can show as proof. She gave me my free Cinnabon, but she had the biggest stink face and sarcastic attitude while giving it to me. She pursed her lips and made a face! Whoa. I'm sorry I didn't have my badge, but I had even better proof that I am in fact a nurse! Sigh.. customer service in any industry and at any level is sooo important for a business. That's all I'm saying.. read more

Horrible service from Dee at the Plaza Bonita mall location. My wife ordered 4 mini Cinnabon's for my kids and asked her if she could sprinkle some of the sugar and cinnamon on it. She acted like she didn't know what it was even though it was next to her. Then my wife explained that it is the topping for the churros. Her response was "okaaaay" My wife continued talking her about how her mom made these. Dee never acknowledged my wife. Dee is very rude and seems she does not want work or does not enjoy it. Product is great but service means a lot. I won't buy if Dee is there. read more

In short they refused to sell me 9 mini ones because they had no box for them, even after I asked them to place them on a 15 box.. nope, not happening.. if I want Cinnabon I have to buy 15.. I'm only one person, what the heck am I going to do with 15 mini buns? I can work with 9 but not 15 c'mon now. Husband shows up and decided to order a box of 4 regular one and an Oreo chillata.

They sell their señorita bread in multiples of 5, and the price scales proportionally. They also have some packaged breads at the checkout counter and a display case with donuts and malasadas. I got 5 señorita breads for $4, and a guava malasada. When I was handed my bag of goods, the señorita breads were still warm! I've never had this type of bread before so I have no comparison. However, the fat, cigar-shaped breads were really satisfying while hot and fresh. They are buttery, sugary, and chewy inside. The texture was a bit homogenous for me, but still quite tasty. I had a second one hours later and it was not as nice. I think they would definitely benefit from a reheat if you have leftovers. The guava malasada was not my favorite. The jam inside was more musty than fragrant, and very artificially red. The dough itself was well-fried and soft, even fresh out of the refrigerator on the second day. I love the textural difference of the sugar crystals on the surface, compared to a traditional donut glaze. I ended up scooping the guava filling out of the middle and eating the fried bread. Overall, while I enjoyed the señorita breads, Chula Vista is a bit of a trek and I would not go out of my way to get them. I am interested in trying Starbread in the Bay, to see if they taste different.

Top fav for sure! Don't let the looks fool you you'll be addicted!

I tried It's In the Filling at their Chula Vista Lemon Festival booth. I love how they committed to…read morethe theme of the festival with so many lemon dessert options like cookies, cake, cheesecake, and lemon bars. The lemon curd cake cup was delicious, layered with crumbles of cake, buttercream (or similar) frosting, and lemon curd. The lemon white chocolate cookies are chewy and delicious. The lemon flavor is lighter than lemon curd but has a great balance of sweetness and flavor with the added white chocolate chips. The prices were decent with each item I got being $6. I'd love to check out more treats from It's in the Filling!

I came here especially to get an Ube cake; I wasn't sure which one yet and they had a few different ones. There was an Ube flan cake, an Ube cheesecake and an Ube Yema cake. Not knowing what a Yema cake was, I asked them how it compared to the other 2 cakes and he told me that Yema cake has condensed milk and I was sold! The ube yema cake turned out to be amazing! It was moist, full of ube flavor and definitely not one to keep around if you have weak self-control like I do. Now I want to go back there to try the other Filipino snacks that I didn't get to buy the first time.

Absolutely phenomenal cake, perfectly sweet but not too sweet, incredible texture and incredibly moist but not too wet like some tres leche cakes can be. Very impressed and felt like the price $45 was fair for such a fresh, delicious and big cake. We had half the cake left over from 6 adults and one child. My Dad loved it, thanks for the amazing cake and for being so helpful helping me pick which would be best. All around great experience and I can't wait to try other ones. They have tons of different flavors and if looking for something specific, i was told it's best to order ahead either online or over the phone. Which I'll definitely be doing the snickers tres leche for my Dad next.

They have a big variety of cakes all ready to go in their cake display. I chose the chocobombon since they didn't have any all vanilla cakes and this one had some vanilla in it and my husbands favorite is vanilla. I really liked that they had candles and cake decorations as well in the store and I bought a few Birthday embellishments which were all $1 each, great price! The staff was nice but not too friendly when I was trying to find out more about the cakes and flavors, I had to read the labels since she didn't provide me any details. The cake was just okay, it was very dense and a bit dry. The marshmallow frosting was a little thick and the overall flavors were definitely different but not sure I would get this flavor again. I would like to try a few more flavors and maybe a tres leches cake to see how those are. It is located in Chula Vista in a small shopping center, limited parking available.

That's our cake getting a ribbon.

It was $10.50 a little pricey but worth it. The cheesecake was no overly sweet. Had a good ratio of cheese and matcha. I loved the crumbles on top of it. They also sell drinks and ice cream.

I purchased Cheese Balls and Spanish bread. Cheese balls - not too bad, it seems to have a powder type texture outside but, it is not powdered sugar. It was more like uncook flour. Not a big fan of their cheese balls. Spanish bread - AMAZING! Soft and not too big with the just the right amount of sweetness in the middle. If in the area, I do recommend you stopping by to try their Spanish Bread.
