While fall in Miami may not bring changing leaves or sweater weather, it definitely brings an excuse to indulge in all things cinnamon and sugar. Few treats capture that cozy, nostalgic feeling quite like a warm, gooey cinnamon roll drizzled with sweet, velvety icing. From neighborhood bakeries to trendy cafes and everything in between, these are some of the best places in and around the city to indulge in a cinnamon roll (or two). Consider this your guide to satisfying that craving, no matter the temperature or the season.
1. Knaus Berry – (16790 SW 177th Ave, Homestead)
A South Florida classic, Knaus Berry Farm has been delighting visitors with homemade baked goods, ice cream, and fresh strawberries since 1956.

This fall, the beloved bakery is reopening in Miami under new ownership, with the Knaus family ensuring the original recipes and quality are preserved. Seasonal hours, now including Sundays, will make it easier than ever to get your hands on one of these iconic cinnamon rolls…just don’t forget to grab a strawberry shake while you’re there.

2. Baker and Barista – (4582 NE 2nd Ave, Miami)
At Baker and Barista, Italian baking meets Macedonian coffee mastery in a cozy and cute Miami neighborhood café. Clara Baio brings the time-honored techniques of her Sicilian grandparents to every crusty loaf, delicate pastry, and soft, sourdough-based cinnamon roll, while Antonija Atanasova’s expert espresso creations perfectly complement each sweet treat. Their cinnamon rolls are a standout: soft, lightly tangy from the sourdough, and iced to perfection, making them a must-try for any cinnamon roll enthusiast. Whether stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or a midday snack, this bakery/café is a celebration of tradition, craft, and flavor. Visit their website here.

4. Sesame Bakery – (2211 Sole Mia Sq Ln, North Miami)
Sesame Bakery brings a Mediterranean twist to the classic French boulangerie, serving up artisanal breads, all-day brunch, and endless pastry selections with a dash of Israeli flair. Their cinnamon roll is soft, lightly spiced, and icing-free, though recent iterations now boast a pillowy dollop of cream cheese frosting on top, taking this roll to the next level. With so many tempting pastries on display, it can be hard to choose, but the cinnamon roll here is always a satisfying pick and never disappoints. Visit their website here.
5. Ophelia Miami – (2140 S Dixie Hwy, Miami)
Ophelia Bakery might just be Miami’s cutest hidden gem, tucked away in a parking lot under the palm trees of Coconut Grove. This tiny, yellow RV, mobile café serves pastries that are as charming as the spot itself. Snagging a treat here is quite the achievement as Ophelia seems to get more viral by the minute, but if you manage to get there before the shelves go bare, the coffee cinnamon roll is a must-try and well worth the effort. Considerably iced and packed with a bold espresso kick, it’s the perfect sweet treat for the post-breakfast blues (everyone gets those, right?) With the offering of other yummy pastries and their highly sought-after Breakfast Sammy, it’s no wonder Ophelia Miami has quickly become one of the city’s most desirable spots. Visit their page here.
6. Honey Veil Cafe & Bakery – (5815 SW 68th St, South Miami)
Operating out of a small trailer in South Miami on weekends and on campus at UM Wednesday through Friday, HoneyVeil Café & Bakery has gone viral for its crave-worthy matcha and signature honey whip topping. Founded by sisters Regina and Cecilia Alcobe-Garibay, HoneyVeil focuses on crafting sourdough baked goods free of refined sugars, while their signature drinks feature natural sweeteners like agave, maple syrup, and coconut sugar. The sourdough cinnamon roll here leans into its tangy, sourdough flavor profile: not overly sweet, but still deeply satisfying.

7. True Loaf Bakery – (1894 Bay Rd, Miami Beach)
Tucked away in Miami Beach, True Loaf Bakery is a cozy Parisian-style spot known for its artisan breads and perfectly flaky pastries. While the Pecan Sticky Bun skips the icing, its rich cinnamon flavor and caramelized pecan topping more than make up for it. Every bite strikes a satisfying balance between sweet and spiced, showcasing the bakery’s commitment to quality and craft. On occasion, you might also catch their Brioche Cinnamon Roll, a big, fluffy, gooey treat finished with a tangy lemon vanilla cream cheese frosting. Whether you go classic or indulgent, True Loaf proves that simplicity done right can be just as irresistible. Visit their page here.
8. Chica Miami – (5556 NE 4th Ct, Miami)
While the restaurant is currently closed for renovations, Chica Miami remains one of Miami’s most vibrant spots for Latin-inspired dining and is home to one unforgettable take on a cinnamon roll. The Rum Caramel Sticky Bun is a boozy, decadent confection topped with a light pistachio cream cheese frosting and sprinkled with a chile graham crumble. The rum flavor is bold enough to make you feel just the right amount of tipsy, transforming a classic comfort pastry into something unexpectedly indulgent. Crafted by Celebrity Chef Lorena Garcia, Chica’s menu celebrates the flavors and flair of modern Mexico, with this sticky bun fitting right into that bold, spirited lineup. Visit their website here.

Known for its naturally leavened breads, scratch-made pastries, and laid-back atmosphere, Zak the Baker captures the heart of artisan baking in every bite. The only thing that makes their cinnamon rolls even sweeter is knowing it (along with many of their other baked goods) can be found in the aisles at Whole Foods locations across South Florida.

10. Porfa Coffee – (2302 E Oakland Park Blvd, Fort Lauderdale)
Porfa Coffee in Fort Lauderdale brings a little slice of European café culture to South Florida, with a bright and coastal, Mallorca-inspired interior setting. The cinnamon roll here is huge, big enough for two, but who could judge if you didn’t share? Served warm and fresh from the oven, perfectly spiced, and topped with just the right amount of icing, it pairs beautifully with their specialty matcha or other coffee creations, like the indulgent flan and the sweet churro latte. Founded by three sisters, Porfa is as much about connection as it is about quality coffee and pastries, making it the perfect spot to slow down, savor the moment, and treat yourself to one seriously impressive and unforgettable cinnamon roll.
