Comments:  There are two things we’re big fans of. Shark Tank and cinnamon rolls. When we saw the pitch for Cinnaholic on Shark Tank. We thought, “This is genius!” while our mouths were watering. Whenever we see cinnamon rolls on any menu or in a display case, 90% of the time we get it.

This sums up how much we enjoy cinnamon rolls. At our wedding we did not have a traditional wedding cake, we bought a ton of cinnamon rolls and arranged it into the shape of a traditional wedding cake. If that doesn’t prove how much we enjoy cinnamon rolls, I don’t know what will.

So back in the Fall of 2018, we noticed that Cinnaholic had opened in Capitol Hill. But along with the volume of instagrams of beautiful cinnamon rolls, were lines out the door. With two little ones, that’s a recipe for disaster. So we waited for the excitement to die down until we visited Cinnaholic.

Cinneholic starts with a basic no frills cinnamon roll with vanilla frosting at $5.50. They have a multitude of different frostings for $.25 extra:

As you can see from the photos, the toppings are generous and the cinnamon roll is big enough to be shared by two. The frosting is surprisingly light unlike most cinnamon roll frostings that are quite dense.

Nothing goes better with a cinnamon roll than coffee and I’m happy that they’ve sourced locally from Lighthouse Roasters 
Besides, their staple cinnamon rolls, Cinnaholic has brownies, cookies, baby buns(mini cinnamon rolls) and cookie dough.
