    Campfire  Smores with Cream Cheese Frosting
    Fina K.

    Okay, first I want to say I am a cinnamon roll snob/junkie. And if you serve me a Cinnamon roll that does not have cream cheese frosting. . I normaly walk out the door. I herd so much about this place, so I had to try it. First when you walk in it has nice modern decor and seating. And service was spot on. Down to business.. They have a menu board behind the counter. Plus a mini suggestion boars if you want to build your own. I ordered the "PB Craze" & "Campfire Smores" to go. I did exchange the regular frosting to "Cream Cheese" frosting. I couldn't wait to try it! And I did. This is my take... both where good. The toppings where delicious and I like the fact you can build your own and mixing it up. I guess it's the nostalgia of making it your own. The down side is that the cinnamon roll itself was mediocre. A little to dry, and flat. To me it was lacking "Big Buttery Cinnamon Layers" in between the roll. You cinnamon junkies... You know what I am talking about! I paid around $17 for both. In honesty I think I paid for the toppings rather than the cinnamon roll itself. I would go back, but I would definitely try something else.

    Cinnaholic has completely won us over! My partner and I keep coming back because their cinnamon rolls are insanely good--easily some of the best we've ever had. And the fact that they're totally vegan? Even better. You'd never know because they're so rich, soft, and full of flavor. Our absolute favorite is the Caramel Apple Cinnamon Roll--the combo of sweet caramel and tart apple is just perfect. Plus, the portions are huge! I ended up saving half for the next day, and it was just as good. We also love how customizable everything is, so every visit feels like a new experience. Even when it's packed on the weekends, the staff keeps things moving and makes the whole vibe feel fun and easygoing. If you love cinnamon rolls as much as me, you have to check this place out!

    Strawberries & Cream Roll
    Carmen S.

    Today we tried the Strawberries & Cream, Peanut Butter Craze, and the Mom's Pecan Pie. I cannot eat dairy so I tend to choose vegan places. They usually have great substitutions. This is true for Cinnaholic. I love their frosting. I like that I can safely eat it. Everything I've chosen so far has been delicious. They do tend to be very sweet. So, I scrape half the frosting and toppings off. I like them warmed slightly in the microwave (this also causes a good portion of the toppings to slide off and I can put back a smaller amount). This is the third Cinnaholic location I have visited and they've been consistently similar. The food and service are always exceptional. I'm happy that I can visit different locations and know what to expect. The only thing that prevents me from a 5 star rating is the sweetness. Their rolls are so good and again, I'm happy that I can eat a cinnamon roll with my intolerances and allergies. I just wish they were a little less sweet.

    Cinnaholic is centrally location behind the Town Center Fountain, where it's very easy to miss. For those who like cinnamon rolls, this bakery takes it to a new level. You can have custom flavors. I was surprised they got my 3 orders so quick. The dining area is a nice hangout for special occasions. The $7 for each roll may be pricey for some.

    Strawberry shortcake
    Matthew E.

    I was in Virginia Beach recently on business trip, and my wife told me about a little shop called Cinnaholic and I was very impressed on the with cleanlinees and the customer service of the staff. My wife chose the Strawberry shortcake cinnamon and I chose the Rocky Road and oh my goodness...both of these treats were as delicious as advertised. My wife even called them "sinful"...in a good way of course. If you have a sweet tooth or just like cinnimon buns, and in the city of Virginia Beach, you need Cinnaholicin your life. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

    Oreo Build Your Own Cinnamon Roll, cookie dough scoop
    Sebastion H.

    I always wanted to try this place everytime I'm at the town center but never had, the other night was my first time. It was about a 5 minute wait after ordering but the cinnamon roll was very warm and fresh and made the wait worth it, super yummy roll that wasn't too sweet which made it perfect. The cookie dough scoop was amazing and was only $3! Super good price and was enough for one person. New favorite dessert place

    What a great addition to the Virginia Beach Town Center! My boyfriend and I were having dinner nearby and stopped in afterwards for a warm dessert to take home. It's a small store front located near the fountain in between Bravo the Italian restaurant and Nando's. They only have a few small tables inside but outside there are picnic tables surrounding the fountain. Loved the mural of Poseidon holding a cinnamon roll inside! We ordered an Old Skool Roll and a Create Your Own Roll to go. Both were good when we got home to eat! Take note that the frosting/icing melts so if you want a picture, take it as soon as you receive your rolls. The rolls are definitely big enough to share but I was feeling greedy that day. They also offer cookies, brownies, a dozen mini rolls, edible cookie dough, large cookie cakes, and a "cinnacake" with fruit. However, the cinnamon rolls have the most variety when it comes to toppings/flavors. But the mini rolls or con cake would definitely be a unique dessert to bring to a party! I enjoyed my visit here. Staff was friendly and efficient to keep the line moving. The store was clean and they also have a bathroom available to customers. I'd definitely recommend you check it out!

    What's not to love They took Cinnamon rolls and made them epic You can get practically any topping you could imagine and I love seeing the new items like pizza rolls or today the turtle buns they were so cute! We were dining next door and my friend had never been here so my fellow yelper escorted her over while I watched our belongings and waited for our dinner When they came back her face was in awe she could not believe how delicious the smell or how beautifully decorated the sweets were she even talked the staff into holding a prepaid bun for me. She could barely narrow her own choice down so I had to go get my own And I got the banana one with chocolate and amazingness on it No regrets here I love this addition to city center and will be visiting often I love that it is right at the fountain so you have a fantastic view to sit and enjoy your cinnamon bun concoction

    Strawberries & Cream Roll
    Erika J.

    Came with my family around 9pm for a late night treat and they were still open and happy to assist. I ordered the strawberry and cream roll and it was delicious. It was a little too sweet but still soo good! My husband got the Oreo one and he really enjoyed his as well.

    Heather B.

    I'm hooked! They are great! The perfect amount of icing. I want my icing covering the bun, none of this just cover 1/2 of the bun stuff here! I personally loved the original. It really is better than another brand I know... hehehe. I loved a lot of the other icing flavors and they are at a perfect price, under a $1 for each flavor. The rolls were nice and hot, and melted my icing right up! Great customer service too! Parking is in the nearby garage, lot or the street.

    cookie monster
    Yvonne M.

    While attending a college tour, we detoured over to Cinnaholic. Was happy to see we have one in Virginia, but sad it's not closer to me. (Although that might be a good thing to keep me from going too often lol) The choices are always great here, and the best part is it's all vegan. I chose one of the signature ones.. a Cookie Monster. It didn't disappoint.. it has all the things I love all put together in one... cream cheeses frosting, chocolate chip cookie dough and a chocolate sauce. I'm hungry just writing this. I can't wait to be back in the area again so I can get another one. Side note. We need one in Richmond!!

    Cinnaholic is located in the Town Center area of Virginia Beach. It is located in the same area where the Town Center Fountain is. It is next to Bravo Italian Kitchen. There is plenty of parking available with the parking garage nearby too. My most recent visit here was on January 3, 2023. I was here a few months ago as well during a Yelp event, which is how I originally found out about this place. This time, my mom came with me to Cinnaholic after having dinner at Bravo. The timing was in the late afternoon, so it wasn't busy when we came in. The one working at the counter recognized me from the Yelp event a few months before. One thing to note is that seating is limited and there is a water station inside as well. Before ordering, I wanted to look at the seasonal flavors that they had that day, as they rotate them. My mom wanted to come in specifically for the Old Skool roll. After looking at the different options, I went with the Almond Joy roll. After all, Almond Joy has nuts and Mounds don't. The ordering process is very easy. It does take a few minutes to have the order ready, as they are made fresh when you order. They have so many options that you can choose from for you to have a custom version of a roll too. They also have cookies, brownies, and more too. Catering is also available. If you were on their loyalty program in 2022, they now have a new platform for it, so you'll need to re-sign up for the new loyalty program. They also have their own app too, so you can track rewards and such there too. After the order was ready, we got it and headed home. Once we got home, we had our cinnamon rolls. Both of us loved our versions of the cinnamon rolls. I could definitely feel afterwards I had too much sugar, but that was really good. Overall, this is a great place to get customized cinnamon rolls. The food is fresh and good, and the service was attentive and great too. I know I can't come in all the time as I have been on a weight loss journey, but future visits will definitely be in the cards here. If you are looking for something sweet in Town Center, this place is worth checking out.

    #Yelp757Deal Three old Skool rolls and chocolate chip cookie for $7.57
    Tina Z.

    Stopped here on 11/05/2022 to take advantage of the #Yelp757Deal going on for the month of November. For $7.57 you get three old Skool rolls and a side (Cookie, brownie or banana bread). My niece chose the Chocolate chip cookie. I have already been here twice before that day and those rolls were so good then and they are still just as yummy! I gave one to my older niece and she loved it. I was not able to eat them the day of and put them in the fridge, I just microwaved for like 20 seconds and it was still good! I still have one more to go! Hmmmm I should probably eat that today lol.

The staff greeted us when we walked inside and got seated immediately. The decor inside was really nice. There's artwork abound, a bar and even a foosball table. Simply put, you should not be bored at a place like this. After looking at the menu, we were all ready to order. I selected their cabbage stew with chicken as the protein with plain jasmine rice and sweet plantains. Overall, the food was good.

    First time in Virginia Beach and first time at Esoteric, couldn't have been more pleased! Went on a…read moreTuesday so it was Burger Night. Arrived around 6:30 and were able to get a table but it filled up fast. Host noted we were probably new bc Tuesdays were usually familiar faces; love to hear that locals love a place too! We ordered the Buffalo Mushrooms as a starter and let me tell you, it's worth the hype. The crunch on these things is legendary. The sauce is a little spicy but it won't blow your palate out. Also the portion is enormous. We wanted to save our appetite for our mains but just kept eating them. We got the monthly special burger which was the kimchi burger with Brussels sprouts on the side and a wagyu meatball sub with fries. Dear lord that burger! I am trying to remember another burger that I loved this much. The kimchi was cooked down into a bit of a compote which melded with the cheese and gochujang perfectly, the patties were crispy as hell! The bun added a perfect sweetness. I told the server it was "stupid". I almost cried. This can't even capture just how good the food was. I'm sorry. The Brussels sprouts were a little understated, kinda like creamed spinach at a steakhouse. They were delicious but overshadowed by other menu items. The meatballs were spicier than we expected, so if you like a spicy meatball, get after it. The best thing about the sub was the pesto sauce on top, which added a nice green brightness to what was an otherwise heavy sandwich. Good luck picking this monster up, we needed to resort to knife and fork! The fries were on point. Whoever is running the frier at Esoteric has the temp dialed in. I wish we had room for dessert but we were already bagging up most of the sub and fries. The portions here match the prices. Would love to eat outside here when it's a little warmer. If you are looking for a cute spot in the vibe, don't miss Esoteric. We for sure will be back.

    [Late review. Visited September 2025]…read more We visited Virginia Beach and found Esoteric due to its good reviews online. We reserved for an early dinner and we somehow were able to order items from the happy hour menu. We ordered wings from the Happy Hour menu along with cocktails. From the regular menu, we had poutine, black garlic caesar salad, and duck tacos. The food was delicious! The duck tacos were really amazing that I wish I had more space in my stomach to eat more. The poutine was amazing along with the wings. The cocktails were not as great as we hoped. The ambiance was great - quite modern and perfect for a laid back dinner. The service was okay. I think the staff was a little distracted that day.

    Great fun little brunch spot. Stumbled in here right after attending the Virginia Beach farmers…read moremarket on a Saturday. Loved sitting in their back patio on a warm spring day. It is fully shaded which was nice considering we had some young kids with us. Service staff was very attentive and knowledgeable. I'd encourage them to be more targeted when describing some recommendations on the menu, she simply listed about the entire menu she asked "what are some of your favorites". Drinks were delivered very fast by the bartender. 2nd rounds were offered prior to the drinks being empty which shows good serving habits. The serving portions were very plentiful and played very well on the brunch theme! Burger was cooked medium well but still very juicy with a delicious mayo based sauce. The chicken and biscuit was juicy and the biscuit was flaky and delicious. It would have served the dish well TJ have a little more syrup. I also loved the unique hash tots. I was simply visiting from out of state so I won't return, but I'd encourage you to! They are also included on Resy so be sure to book there or use a Resy credit if you have it!

    The pink dinghy was great! Service was very friendly and quick to get us seats for Sunday brunch…read more They were accommodating for finding a spot to put our baby in his carrier too. Food came out very quick and they easily added things to my order. The biscuits and gravy were delicious! Personally I definitely recommend adding an extra egg, jalapeños and cheese. The pancakes were solid too, albeit a bit pricy. The restaurant had great vibes and intentional design. Indoor does have limited seated but there is plenty of outdoor in the front and back. Well worth a visit!
