These are great cinnamon buns. And, it's in a location that works out great. If price is no issue for you, this is a 5 star rating. For those wondering is it worth ten dollars for one cinnamon bun with some icing and apple on top? Sure it is. Once and a while. I wouldn't go here every day. Think of what else ten dollars can help you explore, but are they delicious? Do I keep coming back? Sure. I highly recommend checking this place out, because there's never been a single bite that made me think anything other than "I love this!" read more

My friend and I had a couple of hours to fill while my son was at an activity. This guilty pleasure was right across the street from where the activity was and something about "gourmet cinnamon rolls" was enough for us to both know the other was thinking "we have to go there!" We clearly weren't the only ones with that thought as there were three other families trying the place for the first time. The people behind the counter were friendly, helpful and nice. They let us peruse the case of examples and the menu for as long as we needed. They didn't rush us to order and gave us a heads up at the time of ordering how long they would need to get everything ready. Why buy 1 when you can buy more? We bought 4! I had one this morning and it was divine! Another was given to a family friend who we knew was going to have a long day. The third went with the friend I was with and the fourth will likely be devoured tomorrow. The place is casual. There are some places to sit while you wait. The price point is slightly higher than normal but I would expect nothing less when they advertise something as being gourmet. It's also not through the roof expensive, I think it was $7 each. The boxes for each were clearly labeled and the ingredients used were fresh. Definitely worth a visit and having visited once I'm glad I don't live anywhere near this place. read more

I found this place en route to a wedding in Toronto. We actually turned around because we were so curious about what they would be selling, because we are die hard Cinnabon roll fans and don't think anything can top Cinnabon. Truthfully, the food is delicious - they have Cinnabon rolls and cookie dough options as the base. It's super delicious. I ordered the Oreo, cookie dough! It's SO GOOOD! I Cannot stress how delicious all the options look and taste like. The service was great, not many staff on site but they were warm, welcoming and quick! The ambiance has a pretty good display of all their menu items which makes it easy to choose. Highly recommend this place! FYI street parking is typical Toronto parking: side parallel street parking so be prepared to hunt for a spot read more

The food was superb! We ordered 6 special Cinnabons: Cookie Monster, Twix, Strawberry Shortcake, S'Mores, Chocolate Bomb, and Snickers. Despite it being busy with online and in-person orders, the staff were managing well. If you're in Greektown around Toronto, Canada, well-recommend this place. read more

The GTA has a grand total of three Cinnaholic stores. I managed to complete my trifecta tour by dropping by this location in the heart of Greektown on Saturday. I love Cinnaholic. It offers vegan cinnamon rolls, brownies, and more. I like not having to think about whether there is dairy in my food. I just come here and I know that I'm safe as a borderline lactose-intolerant person. What brought me to this specific location? Dole whip. After writing a review on my visit to Cinnaholic in Ottawa (The Glebe, now that I know where that is... haha), I had a great message exchange on Yelp with Terri from Cinnaholic. She gave me the inside scoop (I'll leave it to you if you think my pun is intentional) that the Danforth location was about to get a dole whip machine and would be offering two flavours. OMG! It's like reliving my experience in Ottawa with pineapple dole whip and getting a second flavour to throw me into never-ending euphoria! After spending some time in the Beaches with friends from high school, I was ready for dessert. I drove over to drop by this Cinnaholic. I haven't been in this neighbourhood in ages. I used to have a friend back in grade 8 that I would visit during the summer. I would drop by Chester station and walk over to her home. On Saturday, I parked just in front of this TTC station and walked over to Cinnaholic. This store is the smallest of the three. It is the only one that has a patio and offers dole whip. It's small, but offers a ton. I held the door open for an older man who had his granddaughter in a stroller. He thanked me. His wife said that she didn't know what the order as a newbie and let me order first. It was nice of her. I miss the politeness that I don't see often in Markham. There are two dole whip flavours. I love the pineapple. The second flavour is the vanilla bliss. I asked the helpful woman at the counter if I could get both flavours. You can indeed. If you get the twist, you are good. So, I got the medium twist that comes in a cup. My order came up to $5.10 with tax. I paid with cash (it seems so rare that I had money) and was happy to get my dole whip. I walked along the Danforth, spooning some in my mouth as I browsed and headed back to my car. It was the perfect day to enjoy the best dole whip ever. It was so creamy that it tasted like ice cream. The vanilla bliss stood up to its name. I loved the vanilla bean flavour that mingled with the pineapple. It was so good that I feel that I need to get the large next time. I know that I can eat it all. I am eternally grateful that this location has a dole whip machine. I will be back for more. If the other two locations offer dole whip, this Cinnaholic fan would be over the moon! (367) read more

How is this vegan?!? Cinnaholic claims to be 100% plant-based, dairy/lactose-free, egg-free and cholesterol-free... and yet tastes like the ABSOLUTELY MOST INDULGENT cinnamon roll in the world. There were so many different types of funky flavoured rolls and cookie dough. Since it was our first time there, we chose to skip customizing (which you can) and got: - Cookie Monster roll: Soooo good! The base bread/roll itself was nice and chewy while still being really soft, the cookie dough blobs were yummy, the cream and chocolate drizzle were generous, and the chocolate chips just took it over the top. - Smores cookie dough: Really really good, though tasted a lot like the roll we got. This was more an error in our choice than the cookie dough not being as tasty as the roll. So why only 4 stars? Because the sweetness can get overwhelming, the location is more a take-out place (only 4 seats I think), and it's a tad pricey. That said, there's no question in my mind that I'll be back for more! read more

Ever since I saw this business pitching their brand of delicious cinnamon roll treats on the popular show Shark Tank, I've been hungry for a bite. They have a wide variety of baked concoctions to choose from, and making a choice is the hardest part. I had to try out the Cookie Monster cinnamon roll, being named after my favorite character from Sesame Street. The decadent roll comes with plenty of cookie dough to give you enough of a sugar rush to go about your day with the fanaticism of the furry blue Muppet that is its namesake. The creme brulee roll, while tasty, didn't remind me a whole lot of the burnt top that is invocative in the regular version of the dessert, but it comes with a creamy finish to the roll. Overall, I'd recommend grabbing a bite if you like the taste of cinnamon spice to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings! read more

Definitely worth going to Cinnaholic and brave the crowd during its grand opening. The associates were friendly and welcoming they didn't hesitate to explain how the menu works, especially the part where you get to customize the cinnamon rolls. For mine, I chose cream cheese, along with banana, oreo cookies and sprinkles. I loved how the guy who worked on my cinnamon roll took the care to arrange the banana slices and cookies to make the roll look nice. He totally understood the importance of food presentation. It was a lot of fun to choose what I wanted on my roll... uniquely catering to my taste. Also they turn cinnamon rolls into cakes as well, which i thought was pretty cool. And for those who don't care to be creative with their cinnamon rolls, there are selections to choose from. Definitely will satisfy the sweet craving in you. read more

Fresh, tasty buns i think, good glazing cream frosting, interesting combinations, high high high carb content, a tiny bit expensive though. As i am not a big fan of cinnamon buns in general and never could have finished one, even mini sized ones, i cannot give 4 ( i prefer crepes... little dough and more for the toppings or fillings) but if i liked cinnamon buns, this place would for sure get a good 4. read more

Cinnaholic is amazing! I did NOT realize they were vegan. It's so delicious! As soon as you walk in, it smells like sugar and spice, and everything nice. Every time I'm in, Khandi is the person that helps me out and just like her name, she's super sweet. I feel like I come in to get cinnamon rolls just to say hi to her. I personally love the classic but they have so many different options/ toppings. You can definitely personalize it to your liking. The perfect bite is when you get it heated up then eating it within 10 mins. There are a lot of benches in the area or across the street if there isn't seating available in the store. I'll be back, can't wait ! read more

I had a great experience trying out the cinnamon buns at Cinnaholic. This location is newly opened, which according to the staffers there, is their 5th location in Canada, while they have over 30 more stores in the States. You can even find their sales pitch on the show Shark Tank! I went with a few friends to during my visit so we each got to try a bit of each other's cinnamon bun. For myself, I opted for the build your own cinnamon bun, which I chose strawberry icing with cookie bits, sprinkles, and fresh strawberries. I liked that it is not as sweet as the ones sold at Cinnabun, since that means there was less sugar here and thus less calories! The ingredients tasted really fresh and the cinnamon buns were made right in the store which you could see the oven baking up fresh cinnamon buns. They also offer a few pre-made selections if you can't decide which flavours to choose from. My friend got their holiday cocoa cinnamon bun special and it looked exactly like the picture and tasted great. For the holidays, they also offer Christmas cinnamon bun wreaths (limited time) and cinnamon bun cakes, which I must say, you'd need an army to finish :P read more

My new favourite place! I just found out about this place recently. My friend surprised me with a box of 6 different flavours. Oh boy it was hard to pick a favourite. I absolutely love that they're all vegan and I could have them all! But if I had to choose, I'd have the Caramel Apple Pie Roll on repeat! Wish there was one closer to me but I'll definitely pick up a few if I ever head down that way. read more

I ordered from Cinnaholic Oakville yesterday through Door Dash and was blown away. I didn't realize their recipes are all vegan!!! They're amazing, and I will definitely be a repeat customer. I ordered four different types of cinnamon rolls: the old school, a crème brûlée, something with apple and caramel, and a fruit one. Every single one was amazing and so was the icing. read more

Love this spot! Their cinnamon rolls are very sweet and over the top so it would be nice if they had minis. I prefer the classic roll with just the icing. Nonetheless, if you got a sweet tooth, Cinnaholic is the way to go! Their cookie dough is also so delicious. Everything you try you'll definitely enjoy. Would recommend:) read more

I LOVE this place..... I never knew that Cinnamon rolls were vegan until I went to this place and enjoyed one for myself. I really liked the raptors and CN tower cinnamon rolls, especially since sports has just started back up. Thank me later for these two items, they were divine! read more

I've been to Cinnaholic, but I feel like I've only really understood the best of it now! Eveything I had was a really nice treat. The dough is so soft and easy to slice through. Mixed with the different topings, made it perfect. The cookie dough is on the super sweet side if that's your thing. First off - did you know EVERYTHING is plant based? No milk or butter is used in the cinnabons, icecream and cookie dough - it's all made from either tofu or different oils (more info on their website). Secondly, eveything is customizable! It might be easy and just pick whatever is on the display, but the beauty is picking things off the list menu. Did you know they had HAZELNUT frosting? It was absolutely delicious! The Danforth location has seating enough for about 10 people. Service is quick and good read more

Smelled soooooooooooo good, my friend made us (willingly) go back several blocks. We ordered 2 classics. We're old folks so we like the basics. The 2 beautiful souls running the place were- gorgeous, helpful, funny, happy, and I had a great time just ordering. NOW- we are not Vegan (I'm a dairy swilling vegetarian) but I could never have imagined some simple, sweet yum thing could be Vegan. We didn't even see 'Vegan' we just smelled yum yum cinna buns We will certainly be stopping in for a regular 'fix' 1 small thing- 10 degrees less and 4-5 minutes more in the oven. (it is hard to tell if the innards are baked thru) that's only from working in a bakery myself!!! Thanks gals for our first trip to Vegan yum read more

the place to come if you love cinnamon rollsss! This super cute chain specializes in their gourmet, fresh cinnamon buns with a creative twist! (Cinnamon Roll is vegan too) They have so many options from frostings to toppings that you can customize your own according to your taste~ there are so much choices that it makes it really hard to pick lolol I got to try out their signature strawberries & cream one, and the sweet and sour from the strawberry paired the frosting + the crunch from the nut sprinkles really well! The cinnamon roll itself it's dense and really filling. I really love how subtle the cinnamon flavour is cuz it's not over powering at all Strawberries & Cream - $5.50 read more

Cinnaholic is an American cinnamon roll bakery franchise founded in 2010. They appeared on Shark Tank in 2014, where they got an offer from one of the investors. The company then adopted a franchise business model in 2015, and there are now 3 locations in Ontario. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit their Danforth location to try a few cinnamon rolls myself. The store was small in size with a few long-standing tables at the front. I'd say this location is more for take-out orders. When I was there, there was a constant flow of customers taking the buns to go rather than eat-in. To be perfectly honest, I usually don't care for vegan food as I have had some pretty bad experiences. So my expectations for vegan cinnamon rolls weren't very high. However, I was pleasantly surprised as to how good these rolls were. It was hard to distinguish these from the non-vegan ones I have had in recent years. Cinnaholic's cinnamon rolls are 100% vegan and made with the highest quality ingredients. What makes the rolls vegan? It's dairy-free, eggs-free and cholesterol-free. The one thing is that it's not the healthiest dessert, as I believe the calories count for each roll is at least 600 calories. However, if you're not counting calories and love chocolate. Then definitely get the Cookie Monster. It's a roll with vanilla frosting topped off with cookie dough, chocolate chips and chocolate drizzle. If you don't like their pre-made combinations, you can also customize your own cinnamon roll from a variety of Cinnaholic's signature frosting flavors and toppings. The original hand-crafted custom cinnamon roll starts at $4.95, and you can add a frosting flavor for $0.25 and each topping is $0.50. My fully customizable cinnamon bun consists of cream cheese frosting, marshmallow and sprinkles. The buns are made to order, and it tastes great when you eat it right away. However, the frosting does tend to harden overtime, so I'd recommend heating it up in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds if you don't eat it right after purchase. It was a very sweet treat that I thoroughly enjoyed! read more

My dining companion and I happened to be in the area when he mentioned this new cinnamon bun place in the area. I was a little wary due to being severely disappointed by another hyped cinnamon bun place (*cough*Rosen's*cough*) but figured what the heck. Oh, by the way, he said, the place is also 100% vegan. Well, now I was sure I wasn't going to like this place. How do you transform an incredibly dairy-rich dessert into something with zero dairy whatsoever? With magic, I guess, because this thing knocked my socks off. We decided to share a single original cinnamon bun, mostly because I remained unconvinced that it would actually be any good. I wish I had gotten my own. This is one fantastic, delicious concoction. The cinnamon bun itself was moist and fresh-tasting, while the cinnamon flavor came through without overloading you with sweetness. And the frosting was a perfect complement to the bun; creamy and flavorful, I would have never guessed that there wasn't an ounce of dairy in it. Cinnaholic is a big winner. I'll definitely be returning. read more

If you love over the top, then you'll probably like this place. I consider it a fun dessert that goes all out to have eclectic toppings on a cinnamon bun. The flavors are very sweet and heavy. The cinnamon bun is chewy and gooey, but not very flavorful. UPDATE: I'm adding a star (to 4) simply because the response to my initial review by the company was super professional and non-confrontational. I'm impressed and like them more now :-). read more

Cinnaholic was a visit I had the pleasure of taking to give Foodie Utopians a taste into some more dessert places! I know my blog site has primarily featured some of the greatest and popular hits in the restaurant section, but I wanted to make a point to feature some great spots to get fabulous desserts and treats. Cinnaholic is definitely a place on Danforth that you don't want to miss out on! Cinnaholic is an original, gourmet cinnamon roll bakery. With over 20 unique frosting flavors and a variety of fresh and decadent toppings, Cinnaholic is truly a unique cinnamon spot! Now Toronto can experience their award winning, handcrafted cinnamon rolls, brownies, edible cookie dough and baked cookies at their Danforth location. Cinnaholic has also been on ABC's hit television show, SHARK TANK which adds to their high reputation and credibility to serve products made with the highest quality ingredients. Many of their products are also 100% vegan, dairy & lactose-free, egg-free and cholesterol-free. I loved the concept in Cinnaholic and the ordering is very comprehensive - you have the option to try their signature choices as displayed in store, or create your own gourmet cinnamon bun based on your heart's content! Cinnaholic also has complimentary creamers and water if you'd like to have something to drink besides their options for coffee. My partner and I had our fill of our very first Cinnaholic Cinnamon Bun - each of our orders highlighting some of the ways you could potentially style your cinnamon bun during your visit to Cinnaholic! One of the orders we made was a Gourmet Cinnamon Bun with Banana Cream, Strawberries, Strawberry Jam and Pecan Nuts. This is a good option for Foodie Utopians who want a more fruity type flavour for their cinnamon bun. Of course there are other options for fruity selections, such as having bananas as oppose to strawberries, but the most popular choice has been with strawberries. This was a nice blend of toppings, and you can really sense the effort and time that the service at Cinnaholic put into their buns! It was served nice, warm and fresh. My order on the other hand was a Gourmet Cinnamon Bun with Chocolate, Caramel and Coffee Icing, as well as Cookie Dough and Chocolate Chip Toppings. This is how I envisioned having cinnamon buns for myself - the blend of chocolate and coffee with a cinnamon bun just makes sense to me (and it did work out!). I'd say the only downfall was that there are a lot of things going on on the cinnamon buns, and for me (as a person who doesn't really have the taste buds for overly sweet) couldn't really handle the amount of sweet the Cinnaholic had to offer. Next time though, I can customize to have less toppings, which is truly the beauty of Cinnaholic and the services they offer! Check out the full review: foodieutopia(dot)com/cinnaholic/ read more

When you go to this place for the first time, it may be difficult to figure out how to order. There are many kinds of toppings and and combinations. The staff is pretty kind and explains to me well.

Decided to stop in and here and buy some cinnamon buns for myself and my two kids. Got home and ate mine, was very disappointed. Just tasted kind of gross. Both my kids felt similar. I mentioned to a friend that i wasn't impressed and they said "Isn't that the vegan cinnamon bun place?" Pause. VEGAN? So I go online and sure enough. Vegan. Then I went back to the shop to see if I'm a dumbass and just didn't notice that it's vegan. Totally possible that I wasn't paying close enough attention. Nope. There is NOTHING on their signage outside that indicates you're about to order a cinnamon bun with cream cheese frosting but it won't have any cream or cheese or butter or anything delicious. Every time I walk by now I have rage about their disgusting fake cinnamon buns. So. Gross. read more

Cinnaholic is a GENIUS idea! The featured cinnamon rolls are so fun and over the top! This was my fist time visiting so I was amazed by the variety and options. The menu allows for a custom cinnamon roll and they have many toppings and frosting flavours to choose from. I got the cookie dough and a feature cinnamon bun for a friend. Everything was delicious. My only real criticism is the time they put into preparing them. I love the effort they put into making sure everything looks beautiful, but once they have more than 4 people, it's quite a wait. As a tip, sign up for the texts and you'll get a free frosting and topping with the purchase of a cinnamon roll. read more

Absolute garbage. Totally overpriced. Did you want 3 of your half dozen to be unfrosted? Too bad, that means you can't get the 1/2 doz. discount - you get to pay more for something that you don't want. And the staff are clueless. Not a single person on hand "knows how to bake" If you want mediocre / overpriced cinnamon roll, do yourself a favour and go to Cinabon read more

Wow!! Just, wow!! I've had the amazing opportunity of coming here whilst I was on vacation a while back. My entire family is vegan, and this is hands down our favorite sweet vegan treat ever!! The cinnamon rolls are to die for, and I love the variety of topping! I talk this place up to all of my friends back home in Ohio, and I'll absolutely be back during my next visit to Toronto. Delicious, creative, and jaw-dropping food! Thank you! read more

Coworker said a new award-winning, gourmet, cinnamon roll place opened up in Danforth. It was featured on Shark Tank so of course a lunch trip needed to be made ! The first trip failed due to issues with the public transportation so a second attempt was made the next day. By now, the expectations for these baked goods were high. Upon entry into the store, the smell of freshly baked goods was missing but there were some very energetic and happy greetings. This one girl really stood out, she was super bubbly and welcoming. She made sure to point out the coffee sample and explained the process of how it was made. There were cookie and brownie samples on a table. Free samples ? Yes, please. Samples were good but nothing special or too memorable. The goal is a fresh batch of rolls every fifteen minutes. One was ordered to share and the moment it came out of the oven it was placed into a paper box. The cream cheese was spread on top and fresh strawberries were cut and placed on the cream cheese. The cream cheese frosting started to melt and become watery because of the warm bun. "Egg-free, dairy-free and 100% vegan!" No offence but this concept is way too hipster for the taste buds to comprehend. In addition, $6 for one original cinnamon roll plus addition charges for each customization is way too steep to justify. The texture and taste of these rolls cannot compare to the traditional cinnamon rolls. Overall, it was something new to try and it is always hard to say no to dessert but don't think there will be a second visit. read more

I can't believe this business has customers for the doughy mess I had last night. It's the recipe straight out of a pre-school cooking class: heavy artless dough, sugar and cinnamon. It landed like lead in my stomach. Had to throw out 90 % of it. How can you blow a cinnamon bun especially when charging $5.00. They seem to specialize in the ones that have so much sugary stuff on top that it buries the fact that there is nothing gourmet or culinary about these treats. Actually Timbits are more flavourful. read more

I tried the creme brûlée and Irish coffee and cream rolls. To be honest they are very sugary and not very balanced. Didn't really seem like a "gourmet" cinnamon bun, it was pretty plain and dry and seemed like it was just covered with a bunch of toppings to make up for that. I wouldn't order again. read more
