Common questions
What is the best cinnamon roll in Austin?+

Swedish Hill Bakery on South Lamar is Austin's most acclaimed roll, a dedicated Scandinavian-style bakery with cardamom-forward kanelbullar that hold up against anything in Stockholm. Capital City Bakery and Upper Crust Bakery are both strong alternatives for a more classic American-style swirl.

What neighborhoods in Austin have the best cinnamon rolls?+

South Lamar (Swedish Hill, Upper Crust) and South Congress are the strongest areas. East Austin has several newer bakeries worth trying. The Domain and North Austin are more suburban but have some solid spots for convenience.

Does Austin have Scandinavian-style cinnamon rolls?+

Yes. Swedish Hill Bakery is one of the best Scandinavian-style bakeries in the American South. The rolls are cardamom-forward, made with enriched yeasted dough, and finished with pearl sugar. It's a genuine outlier in a city otherwise more known for Texas-sized portions of the American classic.
