There’s nothing better than a cinnamon scroll; the warm bun, the spicy cinnamon, and the sticky icing. It’s no wonder Perth has gone slightly mad for them. If you’re hankering for a good cinnamon scroll, bun or roll, you've got so many options to choose from these days.
Here are Perth’s best cinnamon scrolls to hunt down.
Smidge Bakery
Maylands

Tucked down a little laneway in Maylands, we've gotta admit this new hole-in-the-wall from Gen Walters (responsible for the cult-status cookies at Deli Continental) slid under our radar at first. But we're here to remedy that by shouting out their truly exceptional cinny scrolls. Super soft, gooey and frosted to the nines—it's not hard to see why these beauties are starting to sell out.
North Street Store

Good old-fashioned cinnamon scrolls are hard to beat, and North Street Store really fuels your inner child with their incredible rendition of the classic. They’re so good that they’re famous around Perth, so if you want to grab a few for yourself, you’d better head down to the store early in the day.
Not only do they have fantastic cinnamon scrolls for one, but they’ve also got a whopping cinnamon scroll cake. It’s the size of around ten cinnamon scrolls combined and is great to share, but when it looks that delicious, you know you want to have a crack at it all to yourself.
And because the NSS crew are good at sharing the cinny love, not only can you grab their yummy scrolls at their other joints (Big Loaf Factory, Little Loaf and Wards), but you can also find them scattered around some of your fave Perth cafes too.
Carina's Kitchen

Take one look at the Instagram feed of Carina’s Kitchen and you’ll probably find it hard to believe that almost everything here is plant-based, including the gooey and delightful cinny scrolls (both in the classic and Biscoff variety). It looks too good to be true! But rest assured, there are no dairy, eggs or animal products to be found in Carina’s dessert cabinet.
Sugar and Nice

Everything’s sugar and spice and all things nice at this cafe, including their tasty cinnamon scrolls. You can get them every single day of the week unless they’re sold out, which does happen on occasion given how ridiculously popular they are. The delicious Sugar and Nice scrolls feature a sticky cinnamon sugar centre and incredibly tasty glaze that will quickly make these mouth-watering delights your new obsession.
Last Crumb Cake Co

Located north of the river, Last Crumb Cake Co is another very popular little spot known for their incredibly friendly staff and knock-out cinny scrolls. In fact, people love them so much they had to start doubling daily production to avoid disappointment. Moist and gooey without being overly doughy, you’ll quickly see what all the fuss is about.
Grain Bakery

Grain Bakery's deep fried-style cinny scrolls offer an indulgent take on the classic that'll tempt you back time and time again. After all, what's better than your traditional cinnamon scroll than one that fuses a little deep fried crunch into the mix?
Joe's Vegan Buns
For Delivery All Over Perth

Another vegan delight that seems too good to be true, Joe's Vegan Buns are exceptional. They're soft, gooey and rich with cinnamon goodness—with the photographer-turned-baker focussed on delivering an all-middle style cinny bun with max flavour and no boring edges. Whether you're vegan or not, you'll never be disappointed when a box of these beauties rocks up at your door.
General Public
Scarborough And Inglewood

While the pizza is the star attraction at General Public, we just can’t seem to get enough of the cinny scrolls. All the baked goods are made with sourdough and once you try them, there’s no going back. Soft and fluffy with an awe-inspiring chew that sets these scrolls apart from all your other options.
Miller & Baker
Northbridge and Subiaco

If you can’t quite stomach the sweeter scrolls, give Miller & Baker’s cinny scroll a go. Their signature cinnamon scroll doesn’t have the usual heavy hit of sickly sweet icing like you'll find elsewhere, but there’s still plenty to love—crunchy edges, soft and fluffy heart with a good heap of cinnamon flavour. It’s also on the smaller side so we see no reason not to sneak one of these in with your daily coffee order.
Cheerio Coffee
West Perth

They say good things come in small packages and boy does that ring true at this hole-in-the-wall coffee shop and bakehouse on Cleaver St in West Perth. Brought to you by a former Mary Street Bakery head baker, Cheerio Coffee is pumping out some seriously good freshly baked pastries and the knotted-style cinny bun they're serving up here is one of the best.
Sinamon
Mount Lawley, Fremantle And East Victoria Park
If you can’t get enough of wacky flavours, head to Sinamon. The whole store is dedicated solely to the cinny bun, so not only have they honed their classic recipe to perfection, but they’ve also invested plenty of time playing with new and exciting combos. They’ve got regular all-rounders, like cinnamon, chocolate, and hazelnut, as well as faves like peanut butter 'n jam, creme brulee, and maple and pecan. But on top of that, they also have a new flavour every month which gives you a great excuse to come back on the regular.
