I know the real answer to this is Costco but that isn't a possibility

Costa's was too hard.

Can reach a Starbucks, Pret and a M&S.

To the cinnamon bun police, Gail’s version doesn’t have icing but is definitely a cinnamon bun not a whirl. And is fab Wink

Lidl ones aren't that nice. I had one yesterday that was weirdly try and tasted quite fake. It had just been put out so want stale or anything either.

Gail's. But then, they do the best everything!

Tesco tear and share. I did get some lovely ones in a Morrisons once.

Oh look someone has done a taste test.

I never knew there’s be so many Gail’s fans on there waves I’m a HUGE fan of their sausage rolls and brownie fingers mmmmm

Rollers cafe in the Arndale Center in Manchester.

Aislin- if it’s the bun type you want, have a go at the recipe I posted. Honestly, they are the best thing ever.

Do you happen to live in the NE of England OP.... if so I can definitely recommend a bakery!

BloominSloe · 03/04/2019 22:20

Asda do amazing Cinnabuns! A 2 pack for £1 as well!

MsSquiz · 03/04/2019 22:21

@myrtleWilson I live in the North East, where is it you recommend?

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 03/04/2019 22:22

Pret.

We use Pioneer Woman's cinnamon roll recipe

Absolutely delicious! make and freeze - but we aware a US quart is smaller than a UK one.

Shortandsweet96 · 03/04/2019 22:29

I shit you not, Lidl.

Oh my God cinnamon roll heaven!

Tolleshunt · 03/04/2019 22:33

Excited, have you tried their hot cross buns? Amazing. Their Christmas buns are even better. And as for their carrot cake, I can't stop eating it. Even their cheese straws are wonderful.

myrtleWilson · 03/04/2019 22:37

@MsSquiz this one! northern-rye.co.uk

they are tiny start up but doing a roaring trade - supply to various restaurants in Newcastle.

At the moment they only have one sales day a week - if you go onto the website they open up to orders on a Sunday night (ish) and you collect on Friday. They've just moved into larger premises so may be able to extend sales opportunities soon. But their goods are delicious!

ChocomelandRinglings · 04/04/2019 08:10

Lidl definitely make the best! And I know a good cinnamon anything when I taste one Wink

BertrandRussell · 04/04/2019 08:36

Oh well... if you’re all going to ignore my recipe....

While you’re in Lidl, get some rhubarb and custard hot cross buns as well.

Obviouspretzel · 04/04/2019 10:15

Another vote for IKEA. They sell them fresh and warm at the exit and it's something stupid like 1 or 2 pound for 4.

LynetteScavo · 04/04/2019 18:26

Ive sent DH to get one from Skandi Kitchen. He's messaged me to say he's got me banana bread. Confused

AislingBeaFan · 04/04/2019 18:33

Divorce is too good for him Lynette .

Can report that I thoroughly enjoyed Lidl's cinnamon bun this morning- I'd say 8/10.

I've just been to Lidl and they were sold out of cinnamon rolls. I blame this thread.

wizzywig · 04/04/2019 19:50

Go to sweden or the swedish coffee shops. And tell them wizzy sent you

Wallabyone · 04/04/2019 19:52

This thread has made me REALLY want cinnamon buns 😭 The Pioneer Woman recipe looks amazing-I'm going to give them a go soon Smile

NowIKnowHowJoanFelt · 04/04/2019 19:55

I make the best cinnamon buns Grin But I have to really love you because they are very labour intensive. Totes yummy though.

LynetteScavo · 04/04/2019 20:27

DH is with a cinnamon roll from SkaniKitchen (I think he went back!)

It's very sweet, and and doesn't have much cinnamon. The texture is good, though.
