About Cinnaholic

Cinnaholic is a vegan gourmet cinnamon roll franchise with 80+ locations, founded in 2010 in Berkeley, California and featured on ABC's Shark Tank. Known for its 100% plant-based, freshly baked cinnamon rolls with hundreds of topping and frosting combinations.

Cinnaholic's vegan positioning fills a genuine gap in the dessert franchise market — most cinnamon roll concepts (Cinnabon, etc.) are not vegan-friendly. The brand's Shark Tank appearance and social media presence have driven strong brand awareness among plant-based consumers.
