Vegan dessert heaven! - Edit
I'm really confused by the "too sweet" reviews. They are cinnamon buns, and sweet, as I expect them to be. Maybe they chose one with a sweeter frosting? Or one that has lots of sweet toppings in addition to the frosting?? We like the cream cheese frosting. Adults in our group got a strawberry cheesecake and a coffee-oriented one. I think the fresh strawberry contrasts nicely with the frosting. Teens got a couple of cookie-oriented ones including one with cookie dough and really enjoyed them. Coffee was actually quite good and up to Seattle standards.
Read moreYou also don't need to choose from their suggested combos. It is completely customizable. So if you want less frosting or extra strawberry etc, you can certainly ask for that too. There is seemingly an infinite number of topping and cream combinations available. There are also other dessert choices that are not cinnamon buns.
Great treat for special breakfast date. Great for late night too. They are kinda pricey, about $10 depends on how many toppings you have. But it's reasonable for a special treat.
Also, staff was really genuinely nice and friendly.
Pros: All vegan!, So many choices available, even non-cinnamon bun , Completely customizable
Cons: On the pricier side, but worth it for special trea

So fun - Edit
It’s nice to customize a cinnamon bun and know that all the toppings are vegan! That rarely ever happens. Perfect for sharing

All Vegan! - Edit
Fast food style bakery. Over the top decorations on all the items, and excessively sweet. But it's comforting to grab a Cinnamon roll here late in the night after a long day

Pretty great! - Edit
I've been vegan 3 years and mostly wfpb the past year, so this was a nice treat but honestly too decadent for my palate now. We could've done with half the amount of frosting and toppings, too sweet! However, the staff was friendly and very pleasant and it was so nice that everything on the menu was vegan. My latte was terrible (threw it out), but it was a nice once in a lifetime treat. It was $35 for the two of us, so, decadent.

Decent cinnamon rolls - Edit
Cinnamon rolls are pretty good. A lot of the toppings and speciality rolls are overly sweet. The plain cream cheese frosting one is good.
Read moreThe staff was not that friendly. The shop was empty and it made it seem like we were a bother to have us in there deciding what to get. We were also told that they would not take a bill larger than $20. As I was visiting from overseas, this is not ideal as I did not have a smaller bill.

Decent but not anything to go out of the way for - Edit
The twix roll that I got was very sweet and had a weird aftertaste. The pretzels on it were also stale, but i did enjoy the chocolate sauce and the icing. The old school roll was not great because of the buttercream frosting that just tasted very strongly of margarine.

It’s alright - Edit
It’s okay for fast food! There are better options for flavor and taste. This is mostly just sugar.

Highly recommend! - Edit
Definitely recommend coming here! It's entirely vegan, and all the family and friends I've taken here have enjoyed themselves, vegan or otherwise. The servings are very large imo, so it's a decent deal in terms of price. The frosting is a bit sweet, so I don't end up eating all of the frosting myself, but it is delicious.
Read morePros: Everything is vegan!, Huge servings- enough to share w friends, Vegan cookie dough is a topping option 😋
Cons: Might take a bit to receive food. 10-15 mins

The bomb - Edit
Stopped in on a whim and got the German chocolate roll. I think I’d stick with something a bit more traditional next time. As much as I love chocolate chips, maybe not so much on my cinnamon roll. That said, it’s the perfect Saturday afternoon treat with a cuppa decaf.

Not super great quality - Edit
It’s cool that they’re a vegan customize-your-own cinnamon roll place, but they weren’t super great. I love any cinnamon roll, but these weren’t the best quality and kind of like a fast food place for cinnamon rolls

A nice treat - Edit
Interesting place. You really have to look to see if it's vegan. They have displays of rolls you can get and an almost- overwhelming amount of choices. I got a roll with cream cheese frosting and cookie dough. It was much, much better the first day. The rolls don't really hold up well. The topping was generous. Very sweet, so I ate a small amount at a time. My roll with flavored frosting and one topping was $7 or $8 before tip.
Read moreThe cinnamon rolls don't look like yeasty, fresh goodness that would hold on its own, they need a topping.
It was weird that the employee picked up a bit chunk of cookie dough (with a gloved hand) and pulled chunks of. You could see where there fingers were on my dessert. Having some kind of scoop method seems like it wild make more sense.
Overall not bad, but I would try many places before visiting again. If a straight sugar rush is your thing, you will like it.
Pros: So many options
