"Playin' in a travelin' band, yeah
Well, I'm flyin' 'cross the land
Tryin' to get a hand
Playin' in a travelin' band"
(Creedence Clearwater Revival)
Just imagine travelling across the country in a food truck and inhaling the heady aromas of cinnamon buns all day. How about setting up shop in New York and New England in the fall and early winter then heading down south when the temperatures fall up here, but it's gorgeous in Florida.
Welcome to the glorious world of the Cinnamon Bun Saloon.
First of all, kudos to their staff, they were super cool, outgoing, and a joy to interact with.
We caught up with them today when their food truck was parked at Coward Farms in Southwick, MA. They're short timers up there and will only be around December 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th before rolling down to Florida.
They travel a circuit, setting up for business at places like the Big E, Florida Strawberry Festival, Florida State Fair, Dutchess County Fair, Toppsfield Fair, Rochester Lilac Festival, NC State Fair, and the Fire Station on Tunxis Avenue in Bloomfield, CT.
Their food menu includes a seasonal rotation of baked goodness such as Cinnamon Buns, Chocolate Covered Bananas, Chocolate Covered Cheesecake, Caramel Apples, Strawberry Shortcake, Eclairs, Cream Puffs.
Their beverage menu includes Fruit Smoothies, Frozen Lemonade, Hot or Iced Coffee, Espresso, Lattes, Cappuccino, Frappuccinos, Coffee, Espresso, Latte, Cappuccino with tons of flavor options.
We picked up four massive cinnamon buns for $26.34 after tax. Unless you are a marathon runner or a glutton, each one is easily shareable. They were so good! Fresh and soft with all the sticky gooey cinnamoney goodness you'd expect. A nice surprise was the vanilla icing, although delicious, was not overly sweet.
So, if you can get your buns up to Southwick to get one of their buns before Sunday, you won't regret the trip. If not, catch them somewhere along their East Coast travels. read more
