Cinnabon — Here’s what it is best to get from the world-famous cinnamon roll chain

Unless you’ve been dwelling beneath a rock, you’re in all probability conscious of Cinnabon‘s grand opening on 9 Feb 2023 at Raffles City.

Having written about them after they first announced their opening again in Dec 2022, it’s solely proper that I grabbed the chance to go to the world-famous cinnamon roll chain after they lastly opened.

And like many trending objects in Singapore, it begins with a queue. To be particular, 2 queues really. The line was so lengthy that Cinnabon had us queuing a degree under the precise outlet! We have been then assigned a queue quantity earlier than, properly, queuing once more— this time proper exterior the store.

On the day that I visited, we have been instructed that we needed to await an estimated 1 hour and 30 minutes and that they’d run out of normal-sized Cinnabon. Luckily, I didn’t have to attend that lengthy— it was at most a 50 to 55 minute wait and I had already deliberate on getting the Minibons both approach.

Also, as soon as your queue has progressed to the purpose the place you’re alongside the storefront, the queuing turns into fairly manageable as you possibly can spectate the industrious staff making contemporary batches of Cinnabons earlier than your very eyes.

Despite not being accessible, there have been nonetheless Cinnabons being displayed. You have two choices to select from: Classic (S$6.80) and Caramel Pecanbon (S$7.60).

Flavours have been barely extra various with the Minibons, as other than the Mini Classic (S$4.20) and Mini Caramel Pecanbon (S$4.80), there was the extra Mini Chocobon (S$4.50).

I had the Mini Mix & Match (S$17) which consists of two Mini Classic, a Mini Caramel Pecanbon and Mini Chocobon.

For drinks, they’d ice blended choices like Cinnamon Caramel, Cookies & Cream and Caramel Latte. They even have sizzling drinks corresponding to Houjicha Latte (S$6) and Espresso (S$3.50).

I opted for Cinnabon’s Mochalatta Chill (S$5), which was an authentic creation by the founders. There was the Singapore-exclusive drink, Sweetheart Lemonberry (S$4.50), however consuming one thing fruity together with pastries simply doesn’t sit properly with me.

If you’re anticipating to be bombarded with mind-waking sweetness just like the now-discontinued Cinnamon Melts from McDonald’s, put together to be pleasantly stunned (or upset).

Cinnabon’s Mini Classic was solely barely candy, with an emphasis on the cream cheese frosting. It goes with out saying that the cinnamon style was prevalent all through each chew; it even teases you with the odd sizzling fragrant sensation.

Similarly, the Mini Chocobun was practically equivalent, other than the extra chocolate sauce. Personally, I discovered the addition of chocolate to be barely distracting with regards to having fun with the flavours of the cinnamon roll.

The better of the lot, the Mini Caramel Pecanbon, had a satisfying candy caramel end. The nutty and buttery flavours of the crunchy pecans solely accentuated the Makara Cinnamon used, making it doubly pleasurable.

Finally, Cinnabon’s Mochalatta Chill was a slight letdown because it tasted actually much like your common chocolate milk, even with the addition of whipped cream. I couldn’t even get a touch of espresso. At least it’s chocolatey.

As I’ve at all times maintained, nothing is value queuing over for greater than 10 minutes. Despite that, Cinnabon is a particular must-try, particularly for these craving an alternate tackle the tried-and-tested cinnamon roll. Just don’t queue twice for it.
