Best Laminated Cinnamon Rolls

Something wrong?
Updated April 2026

Laminated cinnamon rolls are what happens when a croissant baker takes over the format: butter folded into the dough in sheets, rolled with cinnamon sugar, and baked until the layers separate and the edges go dark. There is no pull-apart softness here and usually no blanket of frosting. What you get instead is crackle, butter, and a spiral whose layers you can count. These are also the rolls most likely to be gone by mid-morning. Here are the best examples from around the world.

Ranked by Google rating weighted for review volume, plus press coverage and whether a bakery specializes in the roll. A 4.9 from a handful of reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from hundreds.
