World’s Best Cinnamon Rolls

We’ve scoured the country and driven thousands of miles in search of the World’s Best Cinnamon Rolls! Our quest for the perfect combination of cinnamon, sugar, and frosting is always evolving.

How did we determine the best cinnamon rolls in the world? A combination of factors played into our panel’s decision. Online reviews on Facebook, Yelp, Google, and Trip Advisor played a significant role in determining who really has the best cinnamon roll in the world. The final determination always comes down to taste and overall experience.

So, let’s talk about the qualities of a great cinnamon roll,  The World’s Best Cinnamon Roll in fact! The dough itself should be lightly sweetened but full of flavor — yeasty, buttery, maybe even a little tangy. The filling should have a punch of cinnamon and be sticky with brown sugar and butter. And the icing? It better be ooey-gooey, not too sweet, but very lush and never overtly almondly.

Yes, we’re asking a lot from the World’s Best Cinnamon Roll, but considering most folks only order them a few times a year, finding the World’s Best Cinnamon Roll that checks all of these boxes is absolutely essential.

We know that this list will change regulary — we just have to keep searching for it. So we tested hundreds if not thousands of the most popular restaurants and bakeries we have access to. We’re happy to report that after testing all the doughs, fillings, and icings, we’ve discovered the very best cinnamon rolls in the world and happy to share them with you!

Congratulations to Isles Bun and Coffee in Minneapolis, MN, our 2024 World’s Best Cinnamon Roll award winner!
