Best Overall: They have a variety that includes gluten-free and vegan options, as well as some favorites topped with different drizzles, cereals, and fruit. There's something for everyone!
All About The Cinnamon
Biggest and Breadiest: If size is the most important factor to you, Lodge Bread has you covered. Theirs is also not super sweet, because the dough is more of a bread dough and the frosting on top has citrus to cut through the sweetness.
Lodge Bread Company
Best Take & Bake: In the frozen section, you can find a set of four cinnamon rolls that come with their own cream cheese frosting. Those are the ones to get!
Whole Foods Market
Best Donut Shop Cinnamon Rolls: If you prefer the donut shop-style rolls, Primo's deep fried take on them is perfectly cinnamon-y and sweet.
Primo's Donuts
Best Non-Traditional: These are definitely not your mama’s cinnamon rolls, but they’re topped with cinnamon sugar goodness and a fun twist on the classic!

Best Cream Cheese Frosting: The Very Best Cookie doesn't always have Cinny Rolls available, but when they do, you HAVE to get them. Their cream cheese frosting specifically is second to none.

Most Cinnamon-y: If you want a strong hit of that spice, these are the cinnamon rolls for you. They almost taste like they have pumpkin pie spice! Their Ube Rolls are also worth trying.
