best cinnamon buns in town?

[Buster]

Cinnamon buns are a culinary treasure. I haven't found anything amazing in town.

What say you.

[ThePenIsMightier]

Hazeldean Bakery in Edmonton is the best I've had (aside from my Mom). Nice and close to a $1,200 detail job at Auto Obsessed...
Maybe also best sausage rolls.

/not in town

Apparently my coworker said Save-On Foods had killer cinnamon buns. I was going to give it a whirl myself to see.

[03ozwhip]

I honestly haven't had a better cinnamon bun than a fresh cinnzeo. Now that we're on the topic of diabetes, cronuts.....not just a croissant drizzled with icing and chocolate but a real cronut, fully glazed with Bavarian creme.....where can I find one of those in town?

Sorry for the hijack Buster but you might be jnteresred in this shit too lol

im not sure how authentic they are, but the safeway cronuts are yummy.

Ya they're not real cronuts. I did however buy some the other day anyways.

Heritage park has good ones.

If it doesn't have raisins in it, it's not a cinnamon bun. That's what I say.

People say this and the place has glowing reviews.

These cinnamon buns sucked balls. Not even real cream cheese.

[suntan]

Buster is right, there are no real good cinnamon buns in town. Everybody gets the bread wrong. It should be a rich yeasted long fermented brioche but everybody always uses a lean bread.

Maybe try Glamorgan's?

[ExtraSlow]

Bread nerds are sexy.

You probably enjoy raisins and walnuts in your carrot cake too.

Sprinkle with powdered mortar shell, for that authentic taste.

This place has some of the best baked goods.
Haven’t had a cinnamon bun from them but had something similar that was outstanding called Salted Yolk Bread Pudding.
Amazing!

French50 bakery in Okotoks

[DonJuan]

Lina's Italian market, few locations around town.

If you think a cinnamon bun shouldn't hide behind white icing or cream cheese this is your cinnamon bun.

And I don't even like cinnamon. Make sure it's nice and warm :drool:

Yes, yes I do. And I don't understand who wouldn't.

[flipstah]

I like Cobb's

[Disoblige]

I like Cobb's
I do too but maybe for a different reason. They are not your traditional cinnamon bun that is super gooey and sticky, but kinda like an easy to eat version that doesn't make you feel sleepy after. Something I could eat as a snack or breakfast.

[JRSC00LUDE]

Quoted for Cobb gobblin'!

[JfuckinC]

Thats fucking gross... Do you put foreign objects in your banana bread as well???

Honestly though Cinzeo is so good. My wife makes me a "cinnamon Bun cake" for my birthday every year... very very good.

[Buster]

i wont go near there because of the cheese bread. they have a restraining order.

Agreed. It’s not grotesquely jizzed on with icing. It’s just right.

I dont mind Lina's, but I find them a bit dry or something. They aren't quite the fluffy/gooey version I prefer.

my wife makes cake but doesnt bake cake

Carrot cake: raisins and nuts ok
Banana break: nuts ok
Cin Bun: maaaybe some pecans on top. Otherwise no fucking raisins in my buns. We're trying to run a civilization here.

[flipstah]

Why would there be raisins in a cinnamon bun? That’s loaf territory

[riander5]

People saying grocery stores are heathens and should not be trusted.

I agree with whoever said Cinzeo makes a solid one... definitely crushes most suggestions in here.

However,

I can't believe no one has mentioned https://www.thebigbunsclub.com/

Ordered many times, best in town

I'll try them but based on their website theyre vegan... And I just can't support communism in any form.

[hurrdurr]

Vegan's shouldn't be able to have anything delightful. You made your bed, lie in it.

While I haven't tried Butter Block's cinnamon buns, their pandan croissants and salted yolk bread puddin are out fucking standing

[ThePenIsMightier]

French 50 runs out of fuckin near everything before the sun comes up, so better consider however a pre order works.

[msommers]

Yeah it can be a pain to get stuff. Their sourdough is otherworldly, the only commercial outfits that actually make sourdough well.

French50 has a pop-up on most Saturday mornings in Inglewood. Go early!

[flipstah]

Cinnamon bun run? + coffee of course

[riander5]

I'll try them but based on their website theyre vegan... And I just can't support communism in any form.

If you go to their faqs they say they are neither gluten nor dairy free.

They just make their dough with almond flour and no eggs i guess. Maybe they are saving cash on the eggs. Either way their buns are fire

It's not Communism, it's an eating disorder (https://forums.beyond.ca/threads/415990-Do-Vegans-Actually-Have-an-Eating-Disorder?highlight=Disorder)! Get it straight!

Veganism is an eating disorder.

[suntan]

Jelly Modern makes one. It’s quite good. Not gooey though.

No review yet, but got some buns for holiday family gatherings.

[riander5]

Well whats the word? I want some beyond cred behind my recommendation

[CompletelyNumb]

You guys aren't going to Claresholm for your buns?

[ExtraSlow]

Pretty good. Fun to have different flavours. Small size good for sharing. Approved.

Cinnamon buns have one flavour it's "cinnamon bun".

And again, if it doesn't have raisins it can fuck right off. Fuck right off in the ear.

[ExtraSlow]

I don't disagree, but the variety is a crowd pleaser, and I like to give the people what they want.

I have never heard any strong argument against clareholm, except distance.

[dirtsniffer]

Once in a while I will pick one up from Olly Frescos. For what they charge they are top notch.

Great now I have an adventure today.

They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.

Truth. I've found the same.

[civicrider]

Cinnaholics on 17th or the ones from Yum bakery in the farmers market. Best bro

[Buster]

I think 2Legit2Quit buns look great, what with all of the no-raisins, pecans on top, and caramel jizz.

[riander5]

Buster still hasn't tried the big buns club yet claims buns are a national treasure. Im starting to doubt his conviction

Cinnaholics is vegan. Vegan cream cheese icing sucks. Also they use a ton of weird shit to replace butter and stuff, so it all tastes off.

[bjstare]

Vegan everything sucks, big time… as do those that choose the lifestyle.

Cinnaholics is to buns as Crave is to cupcakes - the actual part that requires skill to make is absolute shit so they cover it up.

[riander5]

Cinnaholics coming under serious fire in here. We need a cinnamon bun-off

[Buster]

Honestly though.... Vegan? Seriously?

We're trying to run a civilization here.

[ExtraSlow]

I have a lot of empathy and pity for those with serious food allergies and sensitivities.
But, maybe it's best we cull them, for the good of the species.

I accidentally bought a pint of vegan ice cream at Village. It was without a doubt the worst tasting ice"cream" I've ever had in my life. I spat out the first spoonful and threw the rest in the trash.

Celiac is a term that's grossly overused/misused. Probably on par with people saying "I'm OCD".

Gotta be from too much pop as a child.

[Buster]

I read a study where they took a bunch of people who identified as celiac, and fed them gluten free food that they SAID was full of gluten. The Celiacs then basically had all these crazy reactions to the gluten that didn't exist.

[89coupe]

How many fake celiacs do you know? I know a lot.

I know an individual who swore he was a celiac until he was eventually admitted and was diagnosed with taking too many pain meds (ibuprofen) that was causing all the problems.

It was a couple of years ago, I don't recall which one. However coconut is one of my most hated flavours and from what I understand they make their vegan stuff from coconut milk.

I totally believe this story.

Food allergies in general are nonsense, when you actually look at the data.

It's usually a weird mix of narcissism, attention-seeking, and an inability to differentiate between "IMMA DIE" and "my lips are tingling"

[suntan]

Yeah the actual rates are quite low. And the most prevalent are still soy, eggs and milk.

[killramos]

Ibuprofen absolutely rots your guts.

Great anti inflammatory response but it’s nowhere near as benign as they make it out to be.

Heading over to Lina's at lunch for a cinnamon bun. I will enjoy all the raisins just to spite buster. :D

Vegans by the longest of long shots. Raisins are not great, but vegans are repulsive and downright stupid.

I had the coconut vegan one and it tasted fine. If you didn't tell me it was vegan, I wouldn't know. Ice cream is one of those things where if could be vegan (depending on flavor) and it will still taste great.
