Absolutely satisfying cinnamon roll experience! We got two contrasting topping choices (Maple Bacon & Cherry Cream) and loved both options as we ate them out on the pier seating. The shop is very cute and the option to watch the rolls get cut, needed, and shaped through the transparent dividers offered a fun experience while we warmed our buns in their customer-accessible microwave. As with any Pismo Beach business in the downtown area, your experience with crowds will vary depending on if you go on a weekday or weekend. The shop will be notably bustle-filled with lines if you go during the hot days of Friday through Sunday. read more

Was expecting a crazy line but it was pretty empty. However, they do no have a queuing system so everyone was waiting in different spots to order. A cashier looked at me to order and a customer accused me of cutting. Not a great start. The actual process of ordering and receiving the cinnamon rolls was efficient so I was out quick. I order the walnut cinnamon roll and regret not ordering one with frosting. The cinnamon roll was a bit dry. It was served at room temperature. Would have been good reheated which I dont think they offer. Maybe they can consider put a microwave for self warming. Overall, a good cinnamon roll. Not too sweet. I would try it again. read more

Walnut was less sweet than cream cheese frosting. Offers more in texture too. Not served hot nor warm. May vary throughout the day but that was the case for me at mid day. More like room temperature but absolutely satisfying. More on the bread side rather than cake like. Reasonable for the value at five dollars each. There were three tables out front and a bench at their side parking lot as far as seating. Known for the long lines but non-existent for me on a week day. Appreciate how different in comparison to others. Would certainly make a return. read more

Ah the cinnamon roll cheesecake with the cherries on it it was really good the only bad part about it the cinnamon roll was a little dry I can tell it was kind of old but that's kind of my fault because we went there 30 minutes before they close so it probably was an old cinnamon roll but other than that try to hit them up during the day before they close I bet that's cinnamon rolls on point but I would recommend it cuz it's the best cinnamon roll spot at pismo read more

Since it was our first time trying Old West Cinnamon Rolls, we were excited to see what all the hype was about. The cinnamon rolls are huge and generously topped with cream cheese frosting that isn't overly sweet, making them perfect for sharing. Unfortunately, our roll seemed a bit overcooked. Instead of being soft, fluffy, and pillowy, the bread had a crunchy texture, which was disappointing since we were expecting a warm, tender cinnamon roll. The frosting was delicious and helped balance it out, but the overcooked bread took away from the overall experience. Even though our first visit didn't quite live up to the hype, we'll definitely be back to give it another try. Hopefully next time we'll get a fresh, soft, melt-in-your-mouth cinnamon roll that everyone raves about. read more

The almond and original cinnamon rolls were good, but I prefer the original. I liked the added almonds for the crunchy texture, but the roll itself was barely warm and overly sweeter than I prefer. The original was freshly made, hot, and had the perfect sweetness. I waited in line for about 20 minutes, but it moved fairly quick. read more

1 portion was great for sampling between 4 people. I'd say a light snack could be 1 roll between 2 people. cream cheese icing was very sweet, and honestly could do really well without the icing. the roll itself was soft and had abundant cinnamon sugar filling. the restaurant has a counter-style ordering with outdoor seating only. there's is a microwave available for heating up the roll. the staff are friendly and efficient, and helped us with the ordering process smoothly. read more

Just a few blocks up from the beach, focused on multiple variations of cinnamon rolls. It's amazing how many they must sell in a day. We opted for the basic roll & frosting. I could see in the display case that they looked like a little denser dough. They had really good flavor but were a little denser than I prefer. I'd like to get there when they come straight out of the oven and see if there is a difference. read more

Having stopped once before, I wanted to go to Old West to see if it was as good as memory served. I came on a weekday around 1:30pm. I only had to wait behind one person before being able to order. It was an easy decision for me!! I didn't eat my cinnamon roll right away since I wanted to bring it home to enjoy. Despite the hot weather and stops I made before my final destination, the cinnamon roll held up perfectly! It was very delicious - soft, and not too sweet. It was an easy time eating it. I meant to save a bite for my mom and forgot to honestly. Overall, I had a very pleasant Old West experience and will be back! read more

Our weekend in Pismo wouldn't be complete without a visit to Old West. You walk in and the delightful smell hits you. Then the employees are all so friendly and accommodating. First morning we picked up a couple cinnamon rolls and took them back to our hotel. Got a maple bacon and original cream cheese frosting. Both were so good. On our way home we stopped again to get some to take home. This place is a must visit if you are in Pismo! read more

My kids love Cinnamon Rolls so naturally we had to stop by and check this spot out on our way to Morro Bay. Came during lunch time on a Saturday, only four groups ahead of us. Service was quick, friendly, and not rushed. We ordered a frosted plain, frosted pecan, maple bacon, and plain pecan. Im not big on sweets, but I ate an entire frosted pecan roll (they're a decent size too)! My kids and I didnt stop to speak until not a crumb was left. Not overly sweet and soft with a little bite along the outside. 10/10. Hands down will stop every time that I'm in or passing through the area. read more

In Pismo Beach for the July 4th holiday so had the opportunity to try many different spots in this beautiful little beachside town. We noticed a long line forming about 6:00am and asked family about what we were seeing (they live across the street). Store opens at 6:30am each morning and lines form before opening and throughout the entire time they are open...we discovered the line moves quickly due to the way they have the shop set up. When you first enter, you see both "kitchens" where the rolls are formed and created. We happened to catch a time when a roll was being made and it was fascinating! Soft dough, rolled out to a huge rectangle, covered with so many pats of margarine, huge sprinkles of sugar and their cinnamon spice (they sell it in bottles). The dough is then rolled with the addition of more sugar and cinnamon and then cut into large rolls. Nine rolls per baking pan and set aside to rise and then to baking. They offer several kinds of rolls including both frosted and unfrosted cinnamon rolls, pecan rolls, walnut rolls, almond, and maple bacon. We had frosted ones and pecan and both were scrumptious and one of the best rolls we've had! They are best fresh and warm and they do offer some tables and chairs outside to sit and enjoy them! We didn't order but was told by several people that their coffee was excellent as well. The history of this place includes the development of cinnamon rolls after a request at the AZ State Fair of all places! Visit the website: https://oldwestcinnamonrolls.com/pages/about-us If you find yourself in Pismo...make this a stop for sure!!! We actually had several rolls during our time here :-) read more

Came here for the 4th of July and from where we started ( parking lot area), it was an hour wait in line. Decided to just get the original cinnamon roll to share. I think it was good we skipped the cream cheese frosting since it was super sweet. The roll itself already had sugar and cinnamon and was good. Also, got a hot chocolate. We didn't mind the wait (8 am to 9 am) since we plan to stay all day and night to see the fireworks. read more

There will be a line, don't worry they move quickly. Four different styles of rolls, cream cheese, almond, pecan, cherry covered. All are divine. They also sell a package to make them at home or premade rolls you can stick in the oven. Both options sound great to me. This is a great option before you head out on your day excursion! read more

Breakfast cinnamon rolls on the beach? This is the spot for great rolls right around the corner from the beach. There's a line but it goes fast cause the service is great and the product is better.

Came here after searching up popular food places nearby Pismo. My mom really likes cinnamon rolls so we knew we needed to hit up this spot. This place was very packed in the afternoon -- the line was out the door but moved really fast. When you walk inside, you get hit by the smell of fresh cinnamon rolls and you can see the workers making it fresh. We ordered the following items: 1. Pecan roll: 9/10 This was sooo delicious. I had expected the cinnamon rolls to be better but this was actually the highlight. The dough was flakier and softer than the cinnamon roll and the fresh pecans were so delicious. It wasn't too sweet which I appreciate. 2. Cinnamon roll: 6/10 This was pretty good but I expected more cinnamon flavor in the dough so I was a bit disappointed. The dough was a bit harder as well and it wasn't too sweet, maybe the one with cream cheese frosting would taste better. Overall, this was super delicious and worth it. Portions were huge and it's quite filling. read more

A group of us came to Pismo for a truck show. One of the guys is familiar with the area and raved about these cinnamon rolls. We waited in probably a 35-40 minute line and it was WORTH it. These rolls are delicious. The shop is clean and the employees were great. Once back to Vegas. I went to the site and ordered some to come out and have at my mothers. They were equally as great and everyone enjoyed. read more

Best cinnamon rolls I've ever tasted! I drove specifically for these cinnamon rolls because of the hype around it on social media. Fortunately, it was raining the day we came and there was no line at all with full racks of different flavored cinnamon rolls! The inside of this place smells absolutely heavenly. There are a few seats and tables outside to enjoy your cinnamon rolls! We ordered two different to try and wow they were both delicious! Food: Original Cinnamon Roll (9.8/10): Wow. That was my reaction as soon as I took a bite. The cream cheese frosting was not too sweet but sweet enough to complement the fluffy layers that were absolutely coated with cinnamon. I did wish that it was warmer since we took a bite as soon as we stepped outside the store. Not an issue at all, we took whatever we had left and brought it back home and warmed it up a little. Almond Cinnamon Roll (9/10): This one came recommended by the guy that took our order! We didn't eat it right away and took a few days to get to eating it but it still tasted magnificent. We warmed it up and all the layers were sweet and had a nice crunch from the roasted almonds. read more

A beautiful drive down to the California surf side (then a one-block walk to the beach) for famous ALL NATURAL homemade OLD WEST CINNAMON ROLLS since 1972. The dough is chewy, gooey, cinnamon-sugary, and crisped on the outside (almost like it was fried in butter - I DIE)... + "life is better" with cream cheese frosting - not too heavy or sweet. Here or there (prepared, batter mix, frozen, or by GrubHub), I enjoyed mine with a hot cup of classic dark roast coffee. Chantez is a little shy, but the experience was ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. read more

Came here around 10:30am on a Sunday morning. Line was long but the smell was amazing and the line kept moving pretty well. We got the pecan cinnamon roll with frosting and the walnut cinnamon roll with frosting. $6 each with the frosting included, and pretty good bang for your buck. Really delicious! They weren't super warm when we got them so we heated them up 20 seconds each in the microwave before heading out. That was perfect! It was also fun to watch the bakers rolling out her dough and making the cinnamon rolls! I'd come back next time I'm in Pismo Beach! read more

If you're in Pismo Beach and craving a giant gooey cinnamon roll, this spot definitely delivers. There always seems to be a line, but it moves pretty quickly. We parked in the paid lot across the street, which was pretty convenient for the area. We ordered the regular cinnamon roll, the maple bacon cinnamon roll, and an iced vanilla latte. The rolls came out warm, fresh, and perfectly ooey gooey in the best way. The maple bacon one was especially delicious. Prices felt fair for the portion sizes, and I liked that they also sell day old cinnamon rolls at half price. There's no indoor seating, but there are a few small tables outside near the line. They also have microwaves inside if you want to heat your roll up more, plus a small selection of drinks like milk and chocolate milk. The only downside was the service. The employees behind the counter were pretty short and not very friendly during our visit. That said, people clearly come here for the cinnamon rolls, not the customer service, and the cinnamon rolls lived up to the hype. read more

Long line but must go! A staple in the Pismo Beach area. Fresh cinnamon rolls. See them in the making while in line inside. Line moves pretty fast. There are many staff taking orders. There is a public parking lot right across the street. It was pretty empty around 10am. Around 11:30am the lot was full. They have lattes and they're good for people who like really sweet drinks. Not my cup of coffee. Great service! read more

Great cinnamon rolls with a wide variety of flavors ie bacon, walnuts, almonds, plain..... Their prices are very affordable from $4 to $6. There is a small parking lot right next door (6 spaces). There was a long line but it goes fast ie 15 minutes. The cashier was very attentive when I ordered. You can get 8 and get 1 free. They do not heat up the cinnamon rolls anymore but they do have a microwave. The place inside doesn't have any seating area. The seating area is outside. The cinnamon rolls taste better when heated. I would definitely return. Enjoy! read more

This is definitely a Pismo classic that everyone talks about. This place is usually busy, with lines stretching beyond the door. Holidays and Weekends be prepared to wait. It is a old school no frills shop with very limited seating. Luckily, it wasn't too busy the day i went. I ordered a pecan roll along with a vanilla iced latte. The pecan roll was the star of the show! It had the perfect sweetness, great crunch and you can even add icing on top if you like. The latte was ok nothing crazy but got the job done. Overall, it's a great sweet treat and a Pismo staple. Just know going in that the wait can be long, but the Cinnamon Rolls are worth it! read more

I came here after letting the line die down. Boy was that a mistake. No more fresh cinnamon rolls, that is why the lines died down. So i ended up just buying coffee and refrigerated cinnamon rolls that have yet to bake or heat up. So taste? Will just have to update this once I eat the refrigerated version. Am sure it's no comparison to the fresh ones. This place had lines out the door and it is a fairly small place so we will have to retry again when we visit Pismo Beach again. read more

Love Pismo but hadn't been in years. It's turned into a real tourist trap, so I was a little worried about this place which I discovered on IG. Nearby parking can be tough, even in the paid lots, but we were able to find a place kiddy corner from the store. There was a long line (like it literally stretched next door) but it moved really fast, and you're entertained by getting to see them make the rolls basically from scratch. Seating is outside and is limited, but we lucked out and a table opened as soon as we were getting ready to sit down. Grab a couple extra napkins to wipe the table, because as I mentioned they're very busy so it doesn't seem they get to cleaning the tables often. Nothing gross, but not freshly wiped either. I got the cherry roll. She got the maple bacon. We shared. That cherry roll is one of the best of ANY dessert I've ever had. I almost don't want to leave this review to gatekeep, but yeah, if you're near Pismo, this place is a MUST. read more

This spot was recommended to us by a friend and we decided to stop by on the way home from Paso Robles to LA. It's by Pismo Beach so you can get a couple rolls for the beach :) as in most beach towns, it can be a little crowded and parking scarce. We got there around 10:30AM and the line wasn't so bad - I was in and out in 20 minutes. On my way out the line was longer so it might be best to plan this stop early on your day. The staff was very pleasant and nice, and they also sell little merch trinkets inside such as magnets, hot cocoa or their own cinnamon roll mix! I just tried their original and the cream cheese rolls, and both are such a delight! The rolls are soft, moist, and just perfectly sweet. When we're in the area next time, I'll try the other flavors -- the almond roll is calling me :) read more
