Midtown Welcomes Detroit's First Vegan Cinnamon Roll Bakery

313 Cinnamon Rolls Brings Plant-Based Sweetness to the Heart of the City

A delightful new aroma is wafting through Detroit's Midtown as 313 Cinnamon Rolls opens its doors at 119 Garfield St., Suite 200. This innovative bakery proudly holds the title of the city's first entirely vegan cinnamon roll shop.

 

Owner Brandy Jackson, a dedicated Eastside Detroiter, transformed her personal craving into a thriving business. "I started 313 Cinnamon Rolls because I really missed a sweet treat when I started my vegan lifestyle journey," Jackson shared. Her passion has led to a menu boasting up to 30 rotating flavors, with 12 fresh options available daily. Favorites include "The Trad" with vanilla icing, "The OG" featuring lemon icing, and the unique "The Up!" made with 7-Up dough and glaze.

 

The term "Cinntique," a blend of "cinnamon" and "boutique," reflects the shop's curated and cozy atmosphere. "Midtown is just a vibe! I've always had my eye on Midtown for a location for the Cinntique," Jackson remarked. The bakery's location in The Freelon at Sugar Hill building places it at the heart of a vibrant community.

 

Beyond serving delectable treats, 313 Cinnamon Rolls is committed to fostering community connections. Every fourth Saturday, the space transforms into Cinny B's Marketplace, hosting four small vendors and providing a platform for local entrepreneurs. Weekend afternoons feature plant-based food makers sharing their creations, further enriching Detroit's vegan scene. "I have this beautiful space and I want to share it," Jackson emphasized. "Paying it forward is top tier to me. There have been many times in my journey that someone gave me a platform, and I want to do the same for others."

 

The bakery operates Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with free parking available on the ground level of the attached structure. Located directly across from the VA Hospital entrance, 313 Cinnamon Rolls is poised to become a cherished spot for both locals and visitors seeking plant-based indulgence.
