Update: 3rd time here. Decided to go after receiving an email offering $5 off with promo code. This time made sure to ask for a fresh one. She said they just pulled out a fresh batch, took her word for it, hoped for the best. Tried it on the car, delicious, and just as delicious later that evening. It's yummy, vegan, dairy free, lactose free, egg free, cholesterol free yet not calorie free. And the cookie dough is dangerous. Just get a tub of it, the big one. You won't regret it.
The first time I tried Cinnaholic just over a month ago in February, I had the Maple Pecan Pie. It was made fresh as I waited. I ate it when I got home and it still tasted wonderful and fresh. It was completely worth the wait. I absolutely loved it. Now I'm back in town and was very excited to go again. I got the same one and a PB Overload. I was surprised I didn't have to wait. I thought, oh must have made a fresh batch. When I got home to try them just as before I found that was not the case. They tasted as if they've been sitting for a while; hard and chewy. Quite disappointing. So, if you do decide to go make sure to ask for fresh baked ones it makes all the difference. Also, I'm sure it was just how it came out but it looked like someone had...
Read moreWhile I personally didn't like this place--I'm still giving it 5 stars. The reason I didn't like this place is it's a vegan restaurant, and it's probably the reason why the food didn't taste "right" to me. I am not against vegan restaurants. I am not against a vegan lifestyle. And I do not eat much vegan food. But when I bit into this amazing-looking cinnamon roll thinking it would taste like the Pillsbury cinnamon rolls from the grocery store (except better)--I was a bit disappointed. But here's the thing--for a vegan cinnamon roll--I'm going to assume it's delicious to other vegans. I mean you had me fooled--didn't know you could make food look so delicious from just plants alone. It just wasn't my thing. Obviously I need some animals sacrificed for my cinnamon rolls to be acceptable. Just know that this is a vegan restaurant and that if you're not used to vegan food--it's not going to taste the exact same as "normal" food. But like I said--to other vegans--I bet the food is fantastic, and I'm not going to let my dislike of a certain type of food be an excuse to give this place...
Read moreWe were so excited about the new way to eat cinnamon rolls at the new Cinnaholic located on highway 96! There are lots of choices and they are to the point of almost overwhelming but we made our selections and couldn't wait to get home and dig in! First off, expect to pay a premium for each roll you order. We ordered 3 rolls totalling almost $19 which is on the pricey side of desserts but we figured it would be worth it. They are a vegan store and do not use any animal products in their processes, such as milk and eggs. We found the dough to be merely plain tasting and a bit tough. We think it's due to not using eggs. The toppings for my roll actually made it merely edible and nothing special. My daughter said that she wished she had chosen a different topping and would not eat hers. My wife got a plain roll and felt the same as me concerning the plain tasting, stale/tough dough. Needless to say we were disappointed and I'm taking them off my rotation for dessert...
