The Flinders Street Project is a cozy café that blends the charm of artisanal coffee with a laid-back atmosphere. Their cinnamon rolls are a must-try, whether you’re dining in or grabbing them to go.
I tried their signature cinnamon roll for $6.50, and it didn’t disappoint. The dough was soft, buttery, and rich, with just the right amount of sweetness from the cinnamon sugar filling. Topped with smooth cream cheese frosting and a golden-brown finish, it’s a comforting treat that hits the spot every time.
Tip: Get a flat white with it! The strong espresso balances the creaminess of the frosting perfectly.

Abbots and Kinney is the perfect place if you’re craving cinnamon rolls that are soft, rich, and topped with generous frosting.
Along with their rolls, you’ll also find their Cinnabon Jovi—a knotted croissant with cinnamon smear and salted vanilla glaze. I tried it after seeing it in one of their Instagram posts.
It was flaky and buttery, with a warm, sweet, and spicy flavour. The salted vanilla glaze toppings added the perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness, creating the perfect twist to this cinnamon roll twist.
Tip: Pair your Cinnabon Jovi with their espresso. Its strong coffee flavour cuts through the sweetness of the pastry, allowing you to savour the cinnamon notes.

For cinnamon rolls with an Asian twist, head to The Old Croissant Factory on Hutt Street. They use matcha green tea powder and yuzu citrus zest to create a unique fusion of flavours that takes their cinnamon rolls to the next level.
I tried one yesterday, and it was love at first bite! The matcha’s subtle earthy flavour was perfectly complemented by the tangy citrus aroma of the yuzu.

Beyond their classic cinnamon rolls, they also offer unique options like apple and walnut rolls or rolls filled with caramel—perfect for those looking to try something new.
I stopped to try the apple and walnut cinnamon roll. The roll was generously sized and full of flavour, with a satisfying crunch from the walnuts and a hint of tartness from the apples that made it stand out.

Dulwich Bakery is a top spot for cinnamon rolls that feel home-baked and perfectly balanced in sweetness. They also offer creative options like cinnamon plaits and nut-filled rolls.
The cinnamon plait, in particular, was a treat for both my eyes and my taste buds. The soft, fluffy dough was twisted into an intricate shape, giving it a beautiful visual appeal. The buttery finish enhanced the flavours of the pastry.
Tip: Enjoy your cinnamon plait with a cappuccino. The rich, frothy coffee pairs beautifully with the sweet, spiced flavours of the plait for a balanced and satisfying treat.

Their cinnamon scrolls are a personal favourite. The dough is soft and fluffy, with a generous filling of sweet cinnamon that sets them apart. When warmed up, they’re even better.

They’re also known for their white sourdoughs, lamingtons, and Berliners.
My favourite is the cinnamon roll with lemon curd, especially on chilly afternoons. The roll is generously filled with cinnamon, and the tangy, creamy lemon curd in the centre adds a bright citrusy twist.

They offer fun options like cream cheese, fruit toppings, and Nutella-filled rolls. My personal favourite is the fruit-topped version with blueberries. It adds a delightful tangy twist that beautifully complements the sweetness of the cinnamon.

They also offer creative twists, like caramel-drizzled cinnamon rolls, apple cinnamon rolls, and vegan options.
I’d never tried a vegan cinnamon roll before, but when I visited, I was surprised to learn it’s made with plant-based milk, aquafaba, and vegan cream cheese. Despite the different ingredients, it tasted just like the classic version, proving that you don’t have to compromise on flavour.
Tip: Get there early to grab the freshest cinnamon rolls, as they tend to sell out fast!
