    Very Berry
    Celina G.

    This isn't your big, fluffy cinnamon bun, but it's a delicious treat with warmth and sweetness nonetheless. I love the customization and toppings you can pick from to pile on your cinnamon roll. Though if you're indecisiveness on the options, you can choose one of the Signature rolls and I chose the Very Berry, a fruity and creamy mix. Service was pretty quick. I actually took the cinnamon roll home, so I probably didn't eat it for another 45 minutes. It was still good and worth the wait! It was a dreary, rainy afternoon and this really helped brighten that day.

    Very Berry Roll

    So my friend and I wanted green tea soft serve but the cafe was closed and we tried Cinnaholic instead. Everything tasted strongly of soy byproducts like soy lectin or something. The icing was gross and runny. The overall taste of the product was overwhelmingly sweet and the bread tasted stale. Unless someone suggest we return, I wouldn't go back.

    The exterior of the store

    The cinnamon roll was SO good even though there was no chocolate sauce on it (I got charged for that and overcharged for the caramel sauce). The inside of the store was nice. I'd go back - despite the cost.

    Old Skool Roll

    Cinnaholic makes the best cinnamon rolls! The store is 100% vegan and you would never guess it. Also, this franchise location is black owned which is always a great thing to support. The Old Skool Roll is plenty sweet and decadent enough for me. They do have options to customize the roll or pick a specialty roll. They all look phenomenal, but I can only handle the classic.

    Cookie Monster Roll and Old Skool Roll
    Joy S.

    This was my first time trying Cinnaholic and I was amazed. The rolls are big and so flavorful! I got the old school and the Cookie Monster which were soooo good! I also tried their rendition of a snicker doodle which I ended up having to get two cause my kids ate the first one in store. The customer service was superb and friendly. I like how everything was displayed for you to view. I definitely will be back!

    I'm back for a 1 year update! This time, I actually went to the store to check out their location and I really enjoyed my experience. It wasn't too busy so service was excellent and I was greeted the moment I walked in. I recently won a gift card on Instagram so I decided to stop by and purchase 2 cinnamon rolls for me and my boyfriend. I ordered the Cookie monster for him and the sparkle berry for myself. I have to say that cookie monster was way to sweet for me, but he loved it (I guess to each their own)? But the sparkle berry was well balanced with the natural sweetness from the fruit and sugary-sweetness with the cinnamon roll. Service was also quick and the cinnamon rolls both came out warm and fresh. If it's ever your first time trying Cinnaholics, go for something tame as anything with too much chocolate or drizzle will definitely taste overwhelming. If there was anything I could recommend is working on their electronic payment system. It's very glitchy and it originally was re-checking my gift card for quite a few minutes. Once it went through the, everything processed smoothly.

    S'mores

    3.5 stars. We decided to try Cinnaholic for the first time on 1/16/22, ahead of the snow storm. We arrived around 1130, not too long after they had opened. There wasn't a long wait and the 2 guys behind the counter kept the line moving. There were about 6 signature rolls listed, but you can also create your own by selecting frosting and toppings. Other items on the menu included cookie dough, brownies, cookies and mini cinnamon rolls. I ordered the s'mores, while my husband and eldest customized their own rolls. Everyone enjoyed their cinnamon rolls; however... we were slightly disappointed that they weren't fresh cinnamon rolls. The dough was a bit stale. I warmed my roll in the microwave at home for about 20sec, which made it much more enjoyable. Overall, it's a very good concept. They just need to not serve stale cinnamon rolls. I'd put this place on my list of "if I really really want something sweet/junky and I may or may not be slightly inebriated (so my expectations are a tad bit lower) or nothing else is open, I'd come here. Otherwise, I think we'll stick with Cinnabon. Special frosting and toppings or not. They're a bit more reliable on the freshness and taste.

    I finally got the chance to experience this cinnaholic & I'll definitely will be returning. When I walked in the door was welcomed with a warm greeting by Boijon I really hope I'm pronouncing that right. She was so sweet nice very well mannerd & accommodating the store smelled amazing I was Immediately hit with smell of cinnamon. The store was extremely clean their was a few tables beverages was available to purchase I just ask for a cold cup of ice water. Then after looking over the menu I decided with the apple pie roll everything is fresh made to order. So I didn't mind waiting for my roll to be fixed. The roll are simple delicious from the crisp apple fresh pecans made in store carmal & the cream cheese icing was so lite & creamy The roll was moist & soft not dry at all your know how some cinnamon roll places. When you purchase Then leave to finish shopping then eat the cinnamon roll it's hard so the expectation is gone wellnot this roll. I literally finished my shopping then went home & it was still moist I will be return I want to customize my own that should be fun highly recommend ten out of ten. Enjoy

    Caramel Apple Pie
    Stephen J.

    This bakery had me at vegan! I love a great vegan dessert every now and then. I was looking for a unique Cinnamon bun and ordered the Caramel Apple pie flavor which is a bun covered with Caramel frosting topped with fresh apples, pecans, homemade pie crumble & caramel sauce. Each distinct flavor balanced the Caramel flavor with the homemade pie crumble adding a burst of flavor to each bite. The texture of the bun was spot on and the flavor rendering of the apple pie was delicious. You can also order other flavors, snickerdoodle and chocolate chip cookies. The customer service was friendly and the wait time was efficient. The ambiance provided a great place for conversation. Treat yourself!

    Last time I had cinnaholic was in 2021 when I had an old skool roll and a custom Oreo roll and it was very good and soft. I've finally returned since 2021 and my experience was pretty disappointing to say the least. I decided to just get an old skool roll but it was dry, had a harder type of texture, and was average. I don't know if it was based on the specific roll I got (maybe I got a bad batch) or it could be that it's not as good as I remember or a combination of the two but either way it has changed my opinion on cinnaholic.

    Mike B.

    I must admit... I'm having an existential crisis. I'm not quite sure how to rate Cinnaholic. Is it fair to rate Cinnaholic against all the other cinnamon buns out there although it's vegan? Should I be rating it against other vegan desserts I've had? I've never had a vegan cinnamon bun, should it be in a category all it's own? Ok breath... breath... we can work this through. Ultimately, I'm in between 3 and 4 stars and let me give you a lengthy explanation why! I know, I know. A lengthy review from Mike B.... who saw this one coming =x=? So, I first encountered Cinnaholic on Shark Tank. I remember vividly watching the Sharks taste the Cinnamon Buns and ohh and ahh at the flavor. I mean, I was sold from that moment. That must have been at least 4 B.C. (Before Covid)- before there was even a Cinnaholic in my area. So when it did come to my area, I was so down to try it. Then I heard about the long lines that Cinnaholic had, and I was like, ok I can wait for the hype to calm down. And so I did. It wasn't until a vegan friend was coming over that I was like... ok here's my chance. So I went in and ordered 2 Cinnamon Buns to try. Like other's commented, it's a bit pricey on some items. I got one of the original cinnamon buns And I got one of the cinnamon buns frosted with cream cheese frosting with snickerdoodle cookies and strawberries on top. Both buns in my opinion were cloyingly sweet. Something that I'm not an enormous fan of. I rather the sweetness be subtle and unassuming like a Toyota corolla. The texture of the buns was pretty good. I mean, if someone served this bun to me and I didn't know that it came from Cinnaholic, and they were like "What's unique about this Cinnamon Bun" - I feel like if I'm being honest with myself, I wouldn't guess that it was vegan. The fact that they can get this texture and chew and flavor without butter is pretty impressive. Now let's work our way to disappointment number 2 though. On the cinnamon bun that I got the strawberries and snickerdoodle cookies, the toppings were sparse and not evenly distributed. If I'm paying for strawberry topping, I'm expecting more than 1 cut up strawberry. And the cookie, although good, just added another punch of sweetness onto something that IMO was too sweet to start with. Now... I'll say one thing. I'm a bit surprised that Cinnaholic is not pushing their Vegan identity in their store. I mean... it says nothing on the sign out front, I didn't see anything in the store, and the cashiers didn't mention anything about it. It's almost like their trying to hide that it's a vegan cinnamon bun. If I were doing marketing for Cinnaholic I'd shift that messaging real quick. I was so surprised on my way out that I went on their website just to ensure that I was getting something vegan on the way out (cause my friend only eats vegan). I was really surprised. I don't think that Cinnaholic should have any shame in it's plant based roots ( pun intended). I think that if I were to rate Cinnaholic against all of the vegan desserts I've had - it would definitely stand near the top. What ultimately put me at 3 stars though, and this is how I had to deal with my existential crisis - I had to ask myself: Would I be back on my own accord if I wasn't being forced to have a vegan dessert. Unfortunately, and I'm sorry Cinnaholic, I'd probably err on the side of no. If I'm gonna go all in on cashing out some of my calories on dessert, I'm probably gonna hit up a regular Cinnabon. If I did go back, I'd definitely ask for the frosting on the side. I think that this is part of what made the bun too sweet for me. But, one thing I was also a bit surprised about was the run of the mill, ordinary, unexciting toppings. I think that if you're gonna run on the same track as fractured prune ( an apt comparison by Andrew P), you'd definitely want some wow-wow toppings that make people go - Ohhhh I have to get the carrot-cake topped cinnamon bun! Or the cinnamon bun with horchata icing. The toppings list doesn't really move me at all. Here's a snippet of it that I feel encapsulates the feel: "Almonds, apples, bananas, blueberries, brownie bites, caramel sauce, cookie bites, chocolate chips, coconut, pb cups, pecans, pie crumble etc." I wanna see something different and exciting. I know they can't do bacon or anything. It's vegan, I get that. But something like matcha... or boba, or mango, or star fruit, or something unique and fun would be much appreciated. It's just a bit boring in my opinion. Service at the shop was very nice, congenial, accommodating, and friendly. No problems there. Ultimately, my vegan friend had to bail and didn't actually come over, so I didn't get his opinion on the bun. So I ate a quarter of each of the buns which was pretty much enough for me. The rest is in the fridge. If you're looking for good vegan desserts, I'd highly recommend Cinnaholic. If you're not, I might hold back. #OutOfSpace #Sorr

    Love these cinnamon buns. Although, we had a bit of a variety, I love the plain. It tasted great with a cup of coffee. The buns are freshly made and the toppings added while you wait. Apparently, the ingredients are very fresh ( real fruit toppings) because they ran out of a few items. You can order online and pickup. We will try these again. Check them out!

    Old skool roll, Santa's milk & cookies, build your own w/creme brulee frosting, build your own w/chocolate frosting, brownie bites
    Abegail A.

    Wow! If you enjoy cinnamon rolls and have a sweet tooth, then Cinnaholic is definitely for you. Finally had a chance to stop by and decided to try the Old Skool roll and a seasonal roll, Santa's milk and cookies. I also created two of my own rolls, one with creme brulee frosting and the other with chocolate frosting and brownie bites. Although good, Santa's milk and cookies was way to sweet for me, especially with the added Oreo cookie pieces, chocolate chip cookie bites, and powdered sugar. Of the four rolls I tried, the Old Skool was my favorite. Still sweet, so added toppings wasn't necessary. The creme brulee frosting wasn't bad. I actually couldn't really tell the difference between this and the traditional vanilla frosting. The chocolate frosting was better, but my preference was still for the vanilla. Overall, I enjoyed the cinnamon rolls at Cinnaholic. The rolls themselves were soft, fluffy, and not dense. Next time I visit, I most likely will stick with the Old Skool roll, though.

It was also delivered to the reception site wedding day afternoon. The cake itself was beautifully done and elegant looking. More importantly , it was delicious. The cake portion was rich (but not heavy) with a buttery flavor. The icing was light, creamy and not too sweet. All the guests enjoyed it and couldn't believe it was vegan!

She posts special items on social media, but she always has some traditional entrees. There are no single servings. They come in portions for 3 to 4 individuals, and the prices for the various items are in the 20s. For the holidays, we decided to switch things up and order a bunch of items to try. Usually it's a whole cooking ordeal, but like Thanksgiving with my parents last year, we decided to get food already made. And interestingly enough, we had Indian men as well, haha. So we got.... Butter chicken Daal (lentils) Veggie biryani Chickpea masala We should've expected it, but we also received a ton of basmati rice, and got the lemon cardamom and eggnog tres leches churro cakes. Every single item was a 10/10, honestly. The butter chicken was so creamy and cashew based, and was easily my favorite item, though everything was fantastic. This might be the best Indian food in Maryland... I'm not shy to say that given how much I've had (though there is still plenty more to try). Applause. Give this place several claps for having amazing vegan desserts and amazing Indian food. If you haven't had it yet, what are you waiting for?!

The hummus is very good. The babaganoush is very smokey. The falafel are the best I have found other than the world famous Maoz, I just wish they were bigger so they would stay hot and moist longer. T. $6 for 5 doesn't feel right when I could eat 20 of them so unfortunately I won't be ordering them again. The falafel are clearly labeled vegan and gluten free, as are many other items. The sauces are very good and they squirt them from bottles that dispense a generous amount. The meat unfortunately does not come right off the spit but is held in a metal bin like chipotle so they can keep the line moving, but you can see the 3 giant spits roasting away in the back. The last thing I love about this place is that you get something you simply can not make at home. Even if you make shawarma style chicken and have rice and greens, there's no way you're making hummus and babaganoush and all the sauces and then you'd also have to buy 20 ingredients for the toppings... It's the same idea as chipotle or if you know Cava, it's more like that. The price starts at $12.99 and the only thing that raises the price is if you get lamb or steak or double meat. All toppings are included. It's worth mentioning again, the hummus is very good, perhaps the best I've ever had. Not only great flavor but it's the creamiest smoothest hummus.

I ordered 2 shawarma to share - one classic shawarma wrap and one supreme chicken shawarma. Both were priced the same, $12.99 each. The classic chicken shawarma had saj bread, chicken, parsley salad, fries, pickles, and garlic sauce. This flavor profile emphasized the juicy, slow roasted flavor of the chicken, with parsley salad adding sharp herbal notes and the garlic sauce adding creamy richness. The supreme chicken shawarma had saj bread, chicken, hummus, lettuce, tomatoes, pickled red cabbage, pickles, and garlic sauce. I added spicy harissa and diced onions to it at no additional cost. The sauces and varies ingredients made this taste like a combo halal rice bowl. Price point seems quite reasonable for the quantity and customizability.

    A random search for vegan donuts in Germantown led to this. I was surprised I'd never heard of it…read morebefore, but then I realized they don't have a storefront -- they run out of their house! So one random week I decided to contact them just to inquire about their prices, flavors and such (I found this info on their website). They actually didn't respond until over a week later, and I realized it was because they were out of the country! So they let me know when they would be returning and so I contacted them again then. By some insane twist of fate, the day they said to contact them also happened to be National Donut Day -- obviously a sign. It turns out they don't have delivery right now (probably because they just returned?) so I had to arrange a pickup. They're $4 a pop, so I decided to just get half a dozen: Cinnamon Sugar Chocolate Oreo Mango Pistachio Rose Raspberry Pina Colada I arrived at the house, waited a few minutes, and the man came to the door with the donut box in hand. The donuts looked awesome too! Then I went to my sister's and surprised them with vegan donuts for the special day -- great feedback all around. I didn't get to taste every single one, but the chocolate oreo, rose, mango pistachio and pina colada were delicious!! The flavors popped, the texture of the donut was light and had me not feeling too guilty, and they looked nice! It was totally unexpected to find a vegan donut spot so close to my sister, and to be family-run is lovely! They have an interesting history on their website, you should give it a read!

    These donuts are spectacular! The flavors are so unique. I love that they used natural ingredients…read more My favorites were the lemon mint and the pineapple coconut!

    I wish we came this way more often because this place is top notch. The owner has an amazing…read morememory because she said it had been a while since she'd seen us and that we'd lost weight. Both quite true but given I think it had been close to three years since we had been there, it is pretty impressive! I ordered the farmhouse sandwich on a biscuit, it was out of this world good. The potato cake had great flavor but subtle, went perfectly with the egg, savory turkey sausage and just the right amount of sour cream. Man oh man. I don't eat a big breakfast often but this is so good. We brought desserts home, the bread pudding we loved on our previous visit and the tres leches. Both spectacular. I seriously need to make excuses to come out here more often. This is "home cooking" at its finest.

    Still one of the best food spots in Gaithersburg/Germantown in my opinion. Came for brunch and…read moreordered the farmhouse sandwich while my wife got the huevos rancheros. Both were absolutely fantastic. My sandwich was filling, and the homemade turkey sausage was different in a good way. The picture doesn't look super appetizing but I enjoyed it thoroughly. My wife's entree also tasted great from the bite I took. Savory as can be. She also ordered a caramel macchiato which was okay, a little too sweet for her. The standout item for me was the sourdough cinnamon roll. Holy smokes. It was sweet, warm, soft, and slightly sour. So delicious. Other than the food, the inside is pretty cute, and the people working are still some of the nicest with great customer service. My wife made me promise to bring her back soon which I definitely will.

    Came here twice over the past few months, once for brunch and once for dinner. So impressed to have…read morethis quality of food at a purely plant-based restaurant. I think it's excellent in general, not just compared to other vegan restaurants. I give Great Sage 5 stars, meaning everything was tasty and I was impressed. Well balanced flavor in all the dishes. Cheese didn't feel oily or fake, just nice and creamy. Staff is great. Space feels clean and open. Wish it was a little cheaper so I could come more often. However FYI - happy hour on M-F 3-6pm where tapas are $6 instead of $9 and appetizers are $12 instead of $18. Definitely makes it more doable!

    Hey friends! This is an unfortunate review. So, the first time I visited Great Sage, I felt the…read moresense that I wasn't welcomed. More particularly, because of my race. I didn't comment nor react to that feeling as I didn't have hard evidence as the staff did not blatantly do/say anything to me. Fast forward, to a year later at my next visit. That feeling was confirmed. Both times I visited with my godmother, who is Caucasian. My issue is with the hostess and NOT the entire staff. It started when we entered and my godmother was greeted warmly and I got a side eye. Hmmm. When we were leaving, I was walking in front of my godmother, she was about two feet behind me. The hostess say absolutely nothing me as I walk by but says "have a great night" to my godmother. To me, these were blatant acts telling me that I was not welcomed. This is unacceptable and unfortunate. Everyone should be allowed and feel welcomed in any establishment regardless of race. This behavior from the hostess was disappointing. I will not be returning to Great Sage.

    I'm so sad this place is closed! Heartbroken, is more like it …read more... This place (chain, not this particular location -- but I can't write it about the particular location, because I never found out which exact one it was!) fed us towards the very beginning of pandemic lock-downs when restaurants were all still closed, not allowed to be open. We went and picked up our gloriously delicious falafel sandwiches from a synagogue parking lot -- gratefully! The pita and falafel balls were both sumptuously soft and fluffy -- so much better than so many other pita breads and falafels around ... not to mention that culturally speaking, there is no place like it and I just felt so comfortable here. Even while going by, I felt so much better having this place in the area, seeing the signage, feeling the vibe .... Shouk, you are dearly missed! Please know how much you are appreciated, still! You changed my experience of this area! You let me know what was possible ....

The ordering process is straightforward, with clear descriptions of the item's ingredients and options you can do for your bowls. We ordered a Two-Way Eggplant Bowl and a Make your own. Also got a side Kale Salad and a side Lentil Soup. Everything was delicious and looked and tasted fresh. The service was quick. It's at the end of a shopping mall next to Mom's Organic Market. Parking is available and free.
