Isles Bun & Coffee is the roll Minneapolis is known for. It has been on Hennepin Avenue by Lake of the Isles since 1993, it was named the World's Best Cinnamon Roll in January 2025 by the Omaha-based World's Best Cinnamon Roll, which has been hunting for one since 2018, and the queue on a Saturday reflects both facts. Order it warm with extra frosting, which is the house habit rather than a special request.
By our ranking, though, it is not the top of the city. Aki's BreadHaus in Northeast holds a 4.9 across 549 reviews, and its German-Scandinavian baking is the more technically precise roll. Patisserie 46 in King Field is the third, French-trained and the most refined of the group. Here is the rest of the city.
