Went TikTok-viral almost immediately. The Infatuation called it arguably the most visually flawless cinnamon roll in the city. Neat spirals, fragrant cinnamon, citrus-noted frosting.
Sprawling warehouse bakery from the Gjelina hospitality group. Cinnamon knot uses laminated dough twisted with cinnamon sugar, deeply caramelized at the edges. Line snakes outside most mornings.
The Infatuation: the size of a not-small baby's head and a legitimate tourist attraction. Frosting served on the side. Feeds 2-4 people.
Dense and sticky rather than pillowy, closer to a morning bun in spirit, made with organic seasonal ingredients from the Santa Monica Farmers' Market. The Infatuation calls it easily one of the best in town.
LA's only bakery dedicated entirely to cinnamon rolls. Hip-hop concept with rolls named after rap legends. Started as a Smorgasburg pop-up, opened brick-and-mortar in 2025.
