Roll Boys (weekend pop-up, Sat/Sun 10am-2pm) is consistently ranked London's best by The Infatuation and Time Out. For a permanent location, Fortitude Bakehouse in Bloomsbury is the top choice: its cinnamon-rich outer layers and perfect frosting-to-dough ratio set it apart. Buns From Home in Notting Hill is a close third.
Bageriet in Covent Garden is London's most authentic Swedish bakery, with knot-shaped kanelbullar baked fresh each morning. Nordic Bakery (Soho) and Ole & Steen (multiple locations) are solid alternatives for the pearl-sugar, cardamom-forward style.
No. Roll Boys operates as a weekend-only pop-up, open Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 2pm (or until sold out, which is often before noon). Check their Instagram for location updates and any schedule changes.
Buns From Home regularly offers a vegan version of its signature croissant-laminated cinnamon bun. Ole & Steen also sells a Plant-based Cinnamon Social, a fully vegan take on its famous roll, across its London bakeries.
