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

Rollers Bakehouse in Newtown is Sydney's most talked-about cinnamon roll destination, a bakery dedicated to the format, with a rotating menu and cult following. Baker Bleu is the top choice for a more traditional Scandinavian-influenced style, and Foli Bakery in Surry Hills rounds out the top three.

What neighborhoods in Sydney have the best cinnamon rolls?+

Newtown (Rollers Bakehouse), Surry Hills (Foli Bakery, Penelope), and the inner west generally have the highest concentration of quality bakeries. The CBD has several options for convenience, but the best rolls require a short trip to the neighborhoods.

Are Sydney cinnamon rolls different from American or European versions?+

Sydney's rolls tend to reflect the city's strong cafe culture: often cleaner in flavor, more restrained in sweetness, and influenced by both American and Scandinavian traditions. Rollers Bakehouse specifically has built a style that's distinctly Sydney: quality-focused, slightly laminated, with local dairy.
