NYC's viral sensation: the dinner-plate-sized sourdough cinnamon roll w/ olive oil frosting. Pre-order essential for this highly sought-after bakery treat.
This establishment has garnered significant attention, primarily for its colossal sourdough brioche cinnamon roll, a creation that's reportedly the size of a dinner plate. The roll is adorned with a rich olive oil frosting, a hint of flaky salt, and a generous glaze, making it a visually impressive and decadent treat. Previously operating as a pop-up, cinnamon roll drops are now announced on Instagram, adding an element of anticipation for patrons eager to sample this acclaimed pastry.
The star of the show is undoubtedly the sourdough cinnamon roll, which comes in a remarkably large size, often described as dinner-plate-sized. It's praised for its texture and frosting by some, while others find the sourdough tang unusual for a cinnamon roll, or note it can be soggy and smaller than expected. Pre-ordering is often necessary, and some customers have found the service to be disorganized.
"The cinnamon roll is the overwhelmingly recommended, albeit divisive, dish. Its large size and unique sourdough base with olive oil frosting are its main selling points."
Customers have a polarized view on the highly publicized cinnamon roll, with some hailing it as a must-try delicacy while others find it overhyped, too soggy, or not worth the price. There are also occasional mentions of disorganized service.
