Ahhhhhh-MAZING!!!! - Edit
We have a family of 6 & this is by far all of our favorite sweet destination! It's such a relief that we don't have to be careful or ask what's vegan or what isn't here! It's worth every penny :-)

Vegan cinna*on, but more decadent - Edit
Why spend 5-7 dollars on an expensive bourgeois coffee when you could bite into a perfect dough/cinnamon/sugar/*optional toppings* combination for the same price? I can't think of a single reason.
Read moreI highly recommend visiting this Choose-your-own-adventure style cinnamon pastry shop, there many MANY options for topping combination, so prepare for some serious soul searching, just remember there are no wrong answers (I just told them to surprise me).

Can I Just Live Here? - Edit
I visited Berkeley the other day in hopes to find a little snack to curb my hunger. What I found was even better. A huge cinnamon roll. What can be better than a cinnamon roll, I thought. A CUSTOM CINNAMON ROLL? I was in heaven as I entered and saw all the combinations available. I was also impressed by the decision for them to display a couple pre-made ones in case you didn't want to think too hard about what you wanted. I decided to stick with a roll with vanilla frosting and Oreo crumbles on top. Amazing. The roll was delicious and was made quicker than I could put my wallet away. Such a unique and friendly place, will definitely visit a million times in the future.

Sugar rush vegan! - Edit
The best vegan cinnamon rolls I had in my life! My boyfriend loves them, too. You should eat nothing else before or you won't make it - you'll get plenty of calories that are definitely worth it!
Read morePros: delicious, fluffy, fancy

Great find! - Edit
We had seen a clip of this place before we went to SF and we're determined to go here. I'm so glad we did. They had seats outside and we had a cinnamon rolls for breakfast and I had a coffee which although I'd asked for small was huge! They were sweet but tasty. Friendly service too!

Best cinnamon rolls you can imagine - Edit
The fully customizable vegan cinnamon rolls in front of Berkeley University? Cannot be better! The rolls are very very very big, sweet and tasty, such as they are supposed to be. Definitively worth of visiting when you are in Bay Area.

delicious cinnamon rolls - Edit
I visited cinnaholic with my sister on a trip to Berkeley. I haven't had a cinnamon roll in a long time and finding a vegan cinnamon roll store was a reason to change it. I made a customized cookie dough with chai frosting cinnamon roll. It came freshly baked and was so delicious. The ladies there were really nice. It wasn't too crowded and everyone loved what they got.

vegan munchies - Edit
This place was amazing. Completely vegan cinnamon shop near the college campus with flavors like oreo, twix, and blackberry pancake as well as customizable rolls with lots of options for frostings and toppings. I got the twix cinnamon bun and a chocolate espresso almond milk and it was delicious. Nice ladies working at the counter too.

Sweet cinnamon rolls with loads of topping options - Edit
Absolutely delicious rolls, the place was full on a Sunday afternoon.
Read moreIt took me 30 minutes to decide what topping to choose, luckily they have a few on display to help the beginners :)).
I loved the coconut cream pie, the triple chocolate was too sweet for me.
I can't wait to go back and try fresh strawberries and cream topping. :) I had my mind set on those.
They used to serve Ice Cream but not anymore, such a pity they don't anymore :(
Pros: All vegan, Fresh and delicious, Good price: 5.5$ for full topping
Cons: Stopped serving Ice Cream, Has limited seating (2 tables outside)

Best cinnamon roles in the Bay Area - Edit
Cinnaholic has some of the best cinnamon roles i've ever had! They're so moist and delicious with so many options for toppings. My go-to sweet treat! They have so many frosting and topping options as well as pre-made options if you can't decide. They also have some super good cookies and brownies that are a hidden gem in their store.
Read morePros: great customer service, lots of topping selections, very large portions

Delicious vegan bakery - Edit
Berkeley's all-vegan cinnamon bun shop, Cinnaholic, is a must shop, and then shop again experience. Everything there is mouthwateringly delicious, customizable, and simply melts in my mouth. Start with a basic cinnamon bun, very good by itself, add from a large selection of glazes, frostings, toppings, and enjoy!

Amazing - Edit
I went to Cinnaholic on their opening day and it continues to be one of my favorite desserts ever. Trust me when I tell you that the maple frosting is the best! I get maple frosting with coconut shavings and pie topping. The banana frosting worth chocolate syrup and banana slices is also A+. They don't advertise as being vegan, so take your friends and wait until they are done eating before you spring the Vegan card on them. They'll never see it coming.
Read morePros: Amazing cinnamon rolls , Tons of frostings and toppings , They make cinnamon roll cakes to order

Secret tips from a pro: TRY THE BROWNIES! and... - Edit
I go here almost every week. Here is a secret tip: While the cinnamon rolls are AMAZING, the brownies are RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME. There are no better vegan brownies in the world. Do yourself a favor and get a brownie to go, they are leaps beyond any vegan brownie I have ever had! Also the chocolate chip cookies are amazing too.
Read moreAnother secret tip: If you're worried the cinnamon roll will be too sweet for you, get a day-old cinnamon roll. They are reduced price and they don't come with icing, so it makes them much less sweet if you prefer them that way. I actually like the day-olds better for that reason and usually get them!
Pros: Owner is superfriendly and nice, BEST VEGAN BROWNIES EVER, Day-olds at reduced price
Cons: Parking difficult

Just as amazing as everyone says!! - Edit
I was so excited to come here and had such high expectations, and Cinnaholic met all of them!! They had some "speciality" roll ideas or you could make your own; I locked from a book of idea combinations (Oreo Explosion :-) and my husband just created his own, they were both amazing!! I also got a small original roll just to try without any of the crazy toppings. They were sooooo good, just like I remember from Cinnabon but better- soft, warm, with melty frosting and the best part, the gooey center!! I probably could have eaten like four, they were so good. The staff was also really nice, and they had a few cute little tables outside where you could sit and eat (they are located right across from the Berkley campus). They said they're working on getting a franchising set up up and running...I hope they succeed, there should be one of these in every city!!
Read morePros: So delicious, a million creative flavor toppings/combinations , began cinnamon roles- what more could you want?!

Yes, Cinnaholic is in fact amazing. - Edit
What a great concept, all-vegan delicious specialty cinnamon rolls. Very similar to Cinnabon in selection, although Cinnaholic features a large variety of customizable toppings with none of the dairy yuckiness.
Read moreYou can choose from fruity to full-on chocolate dessert mini or full-size rolls. So good for sure, but, be warned, if you're like me and don't eat loads of sugar regularly it will be really sweet, so maybe choose toppings to balance that out. (or consider buying some non-dairy milk to wash it down!)
The only negative is that it's a busy restaurant/store area so it won't be easy to find a parking spot to pick some up. Try going at an off-time or taking public transit.
PS. I heard through VeganSaurus that they're now going to franchise Cinnaholic to bring the yumminess to more communities, awesome!
Pros: So delicious, So easy to be vegan and have a treat
Cons: Messy.. but it's a cinnamon roll!
