Where to Get the Best Cinnamon Scrolls in Sydney

Sweden’s salute to cinnamon is the cinnamon scroll, and we’re saluting right back, thank you very much!

These delectable, melt-in-your-mouth pastries are commonly found in Northern Europe and North America, and once you’ve tasted the real-deal scrumptiousness of authentic scrolls in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (guilty!), you’ll do just about anything to get your hands on the best cinnamon scrolls in Sydney.

So let’s see how these Sydney bakeries measure up with their take on the humble scroll.

Where to Get the Best Cinnamon Scrolls in Sydney

1. Cinnabon Launches in Sydney

The roll. The myth. The legend. US bakery chain, Cinnabon have launched in Australia! 

The original purveyors of cinnamon-scrolls-on-the-go, Cinnabon have already set up a few bakeries in Melbourne and Queensland and recently opened the first Cinnabon in Sydney - woowee!

The corner of Harbour Street near Market City in Darling Square is now home to Sydney's first Cinnabon shop, so you know where to shop for those cushiony pillows of sugary goodness. But wait, there's a second Cinnabon Store in Sydney that's about to open its doors!

Cinnabon at Westfield Parramatta officially opened on 29 October 2023! 

Locations:
Haymarket - Ground floor of Darling Square, 85 Hay Street
Parramatta - Westfield Parramatta, 175 Church Street

2. Oregano Bakery

What started out as a humble pizzeria has transformed into a thriving bakery that sells cinnamon buns so delicious, Sydneysiders from far and wide will travel the distance to South Hurstville or Peakhurst to get them!

While Oregano Bakery still sell some of the tastiest Lebanese pizzas in Hurstville, it’s their humongous cinnamon scrolls that come in 18 different flavours that have the crowds lining up out the door. 

Can't make it out to one of their shopfronts? Don't stress; Oregano Bakery also offer delivery!

Locations:
Peakhurst - 108A Boundary Rd, Peakhurst
South Hurstville - 56 Connells Point Rd, South Hurstville

3. Box of Scrolls

If you want original glazed cinnamon scrolls delivered right to your door, Box of Scrolls are waiting for your order.

Box of Scrolls’ aromatic scrolls are baked fresh every day and delivered Sydney-wide so diehard cinnamon scroll fans can have hot little buns of joy in their hands whenever they want them without leaving the house!

Classic and glazed buns are their specialty, but they also offer banana, red velvet, cookies and cream, and salty caramel amongst others.

Location: online only

4. Flour Shop

If you're out and about on the North Shore looking for a cinnamon hit, stop in at Flour Shop.

This humble bakery in Turramurra is garnering quite a loyal following thanks to its delicious menu. Think fresh vanilla slices, croissants, natas (aka Portuguese tarts), breads, eclairs, scrolls and plenty more. 

Location: 16 Princes St, Turramurra

5. Midnight Donuts

Nutella-topped scrolls, anyone? We'll take two!

If you'd like to try an even sweeter take on cinnamon scrolls in Sydney, head online to Midnight Donuts and order from their scrumptious menu, which includes Nutella Scrolls, Salted Caramel Scrolls, Cookies & Cream Scrolls and more.

Midnight Donuts offer overnight delivery, seven days a week across Sydney - score!

Location: online only

6. Bakers Delight

Call me uncultured, but I think Bakers Delight serve one of the best cinnamon scrolls in Sydney!

Yes, they might be small, yes, they might be mass-produced, but they’re delicate, baked fresh daily and oh-so-delicious! I think their key taste of difference is the dollop of cream cheese that gets slapped onto the top of every scroll and left to ooze through the soft pastry layers throughout the day - drool!

Not all Bakers Delight shops sell their signature scroll so make sure you call ahead to secure your batch. They also stock a yummy apple and cinnamon scroll. 

Location: multiple across Sydney - visit the website for locations.

7. Miss Sina

If you're looking for vegan cinnamon scrolls in Sydney, you don't need to look further than Miss Sina.

As one of Sydney's favourite vegan bakeries, the team at Miss Sina pride themselves on only using the freshest natural ingredients for their sweet creations, and their scrolls are no different. Made using 100 per cent plant-based ingredients, their vegan cinnamon scrolls are baked fresh daily and topped with vegan Heilala vanilla and cream cheese frosting - heavenly!

You can order a pack of six or why not try their giant vegan scroll for something different?

Location: 132 Illawarra Rd, Marrickville  

8. Flour Drum

Another 'Flour' spot in Sydney serving artisan pastries, Flour Drum's ode to the cinnamon scroll is done a little differently. Instead of a scroll, theirs is called the cinnamon brioche and is rumoured to take three hours to make - no wonder they're so good!

Flour Drum add sultanas and housemade candied orange and lemon peels just to kick the wow factor up even further. 

Location: 531 King St, Newtown

9. Sydney Cakery

Rolled is how Sydney Cakery share their love of the scroll. Their cinnamon rolls are baked fresh daily and are described as warm, soft, cinnamony goodness that will take you back to your childhood - one order, please!

Sydney Cakery are located in Surry Hills but their rolls can also be ordered online. 

Location: Shop1/242 Elizabeth Street, Surry Hills

10. Baked & Co

Hand-rolled, hand-crafted, and made with care is how they roll (literally!) their pastries and cinnamon scrolls at Baked & Co.

Along with the ultra-fluffy pastry, and the very generous helpings of cream cheese that come with every scroll from Baked & Co, we also love that all their ingredients are chemical-free, meaning there are no nasties with your order!

Baked & Co have cafes all around Sydney but we do believe you can only get their cinnamon scrolls online.
