You Can Be A Part Of The Cinnaholic Success Story!

In early 2009, Shannon and Florian Radke had the idea to start a business that would serve mouth-watering, gourmet, cinnamon rolls. Not just your average cinnamon roll though. The goal was to introduce a new and exciting experience by offering a variety of different frosting flavors and toppings giving the customer the ability to design their very own gourmet, custom cinnamon roll.

In June of 2010, the husband and wife team opened the first Cinnaholic store on Oxford Street in Berkeley, CA. Cinnaholic became an overnight success with lines out the door from day one. The small vegan bakery would win several awards and even got international media attention.

In 2014 Shannon and Florian Radke pitched their California-based vegan gourmet cinnamon roll shop on the ABC show “Shark Tank”. Since then the business that entices the customer to create their own custom cinnamon roll from a selection of different flavors and toppings, has become an American success story.
