Great apple pie a la mode cinnamon roll. I've tried a variety of their cinnamon rolls over the past year and fallen in love with their establishment. The people who make the cinnamon rolls really care; they make it fresh. (I remember when just one of the staff members got Covid they entirely shut down temporarily.)

You cannot deny a warm and tasty rolled pastry layered with sugar and straight from the oven!For a vegan place they know how to fool a non-believer that this a regular Cinnabon pastry.Strict mask wearing policy at this place.All the ordering is done from the kiosk inside.It's a two phased process.Choose your flavor, choose your topping, pay for the goods.Texture: 5/5Flavor:5/5Service: 5/5Options: 4/5 - There are only a few sizes but the flavor speaks volumes on the mini or old school version.I would come back here, easy to get here. The menu is simple but there are a lot of flavors!As for parking, first come first serve, street parking.We took an Uber here at 5:30 pm on a Wednesday night. No waiting.

These cinnamon rolls are delicious! When I saw the menu I assumed it was a big pace but it is a small hole in the wall place. You order on a tablet. I got one of the signature cinnamon rolls- Caramel apple pie and I quite enjoyed it. I bought two customized rolls to bring home to my family. A couple warnings- I thought cookie dough topping would be cookie dough bites but it is a big pile of cookie dough on top- no complaints from my 9 year old daughter it was just unexpected. There was also no crème brûlée frosting option when I created the customized roll even though it was on their online menu. It is unbelievable that it is all vegan! I will be back!

I recently visited Cinnaholic Bakery and was extremely disappointed with my experience. The staff's behavior was unprofessional and rude, with the employee singling me out for not wearing a mask, even though there were multiple people in the store without masks. The staff member's attitude was disrespectful and unprofessional, and he walked away from the situation without resolving it, leaving me feeling frustrated and unsatisfied.The quality of the order was also a major issue. I ordered a dozen Cinnabons and was shocked to see that they did not look appealing at all. I had expected high quality and value for the premium prices I paid, but that was not the case. The Cinnabons were not up to the standard I had expected and were not worth the money I spent.Overall, my experience at Cinnaholic Bakery was horrible. The unacceptable behavior from the staff, combined with the subpar quality of the product, left me feeling disappointed and dissatisfied. I hope that Cinnaholic Bakery takes steps to improve their customer service and product quality, and trains their staff to remain professional and polite even under pressure. The store policies should be clearly communicated to customers to avoid any misunderstandings, and any outstanding issues, such as my request for a refund, should be resolved directly with me in a prompt and satisfactory manner. Please see the attached photo for a Cinnabon order of $86. Q

It's gluten free but taste is not sacrificed here, it's really delicious. Really wish they would have some milk to go with it. Also, a lot of the fun was ordering your cinnamon bun and watching them prepare it. Unfortunately they blocked off the area so you can't view that anymore. Normally they are 5 stars, but lots of covid restrictions have hurt the customer experience and lowered it to 4 stars.

Vegan friendly dessert? Yes please! Perfect for those with various dietary restrictions and us lactose intolerant girlys. There are plenty of tasty preset options or BYO. I recommend the lavender frosting - so tasty and my new go-to!

Preface this by saying I got toppings much sweeter than I normally would order for a dessert. They have a wide variety of flavors. If I ever go back, I’d probably order something simpler and less sweet.I got the peanut butter cookie dough cinnamon roll. It was a lot, even for two people to share.The cookie dough and peanut butter sauce were both super sweet and too salty for my taste. Two bites was enough for me.The cinnamon roll underneath was fine. I wasn’t impressed and thought it was a little dry, maybe because I ordered at night.

I've been a fan of this place for years now- as someone who is lactose intolerant but loves sweets/dessert, this place is a real treat since their cinnamon buns and toppings are vegan, dairy-free and lactose-free! So happy that I can indulge here without worrying about dairy upsetting my stomach. Cookie dough is always a must when it comes to toppings. I most recently tried the pumpkin spice and gingerbread frosting and both were delicious! They're very generous with frosting and toppings, and the cinnamon buns are large! Definitely enough for two people to share, or to save leftovers for later. No seating inside, there is limited seating outside but you're probably better off getting takeout. Parking can be a challenge too around here.

I love their cinnamon rolls! Sadly I had a bad experience being a witness when a coworker yelled to his mate saying “I have more time than you working here” then he passed me the order and he was so dry! Otherwise the rest of the team is exceptional!
Cinnaholic is an iconic desert spot in Berkeley. I first tried their cinnamon buns when I was a student at Cal, and ever since then - whenever we're in the area and craving something decadent, we know where to go. You can select from pre-made flavors or choose your own toppings, from original to strawberry cheesecake. The bun comes out warm, and one is enough to share between me and my wife because it's so decadent.A great option for to satisfy your sweet tooth.

The cinnamon rolls were large and delicious. My family loved it because It wasn’t too sweet. However, I wish the caramel pumpkin cheesecake roll had a little more pumpkin flavor. Also, the price is a bit expensive.

I absolutely love this place! I’ve been coming here for 5+ years, not sure why this place would have any bad reviews at all. They have an overwhelming (but in a good way) variety of frostings and toppings, so it’s really fun to customize and try new things. My orders are always ready on time and hot/fresh, and the employees are very kind. Although a chain, this is locally owned, so support your local business and get some rolls! :-) PS I highly recommend getting cookie dough as a topping. <3

If you want to fulfill your sweet tooth this is the place to go. You can create your own or signature buns and other options. It is very sweet but fresh & warm.

Absolutely delicious! We went for my vegan partner... I wound up eating everything myself, and I'm not a vegan! Well recommended.
