A New Winner is Crowned
A warm cinnamon roll screams Saturday morning breakfast. They can be fluffy or flaky, delicate or substantial, dainty or big. Apart from the fact that they’re a spiral-shaped baked good with cinnamon and butter rolled up in them, it’s tough to say what distinguishes them. It’s also difficult to determine which one is best.
Since 2018, our team of cinnamon roll experts, at the World’s Best Cinnamon Rolls, have traveled extensively throughout America to find the elusive World’s Best Cinnamon Roll.

2018 – Scratch in Kansas City, Missouri

The cinnamon rolls here are no exception. They’re made with a brioche dough that’s been rolled thin and filled with a generous amount of cinnamon sugar. The result is a roll that’s crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

Kanela was recently chosen by Travel + Leisure magazine as the “World’s Best Cinnamon Rolls.” Fresh dough, cream cheese frosting, and a generous amount of cinnamon are used to make their delectable cinnamon rolls.

What sets Kanela apart from all the other cinnamon rolls we’ve tried over the past five years and thousands of miles of traveling is their use of fresh ingredients.

We sampled this legendary cinnamon roll in person with a warm house-brewed coffee. The cinnamon was warmed up slightly. The dough itself was lightly sweetened but full of flavor — yeasty, buttery, maybe even a little tangy. The filling had a punch of cinnamon and was sticky with brown sugar and butter. And the icing? The icing was warm, ooey-gooey, not too sweet, and didn’t have have a distracting almond or vanilla after taste.
It was literally love at first bite. We quickly recall the hundreds of online reviews about their cinnamon rolls and sticky buns. In an instant we realized they were all true. This cinnamon roll was made with the midwesterner in mind.
