The Roll Breakdown

Traditional
vs. Sourdough

We bake both styles because the "best" cinnamon roll depends on what you're craving. Here's how our classic and sourdough rolls compare — and why sourdough costs a little more.

Traditional Cinnamon Rolls

Classic, sweet, and ready sooner

Traditional cinnamon rolls with cream cheese glaze

Our traditional cinnamon rolls are made with a rich, pillowy yeast dough that's rolled by hand with cinnamon sugar and topped with a luscious cream cheese glaze. They're the familiar, comforting cinnamon roll you grew up with — soft, gooey, and sweet.

  • Standard turnaround: about 2 days
  • Classic yeast-leavened dough
  • Multiple flavor options: Original, Cookies & Cream, Biscoff, and Frosted Animal Cookie

Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

Slow-fermented, tangy, and complex

Sourdough cinnamon rolls with berry cream cheese frosting

Our sourdough cinnamon rolls begin with a living sourdough starter that's fed and maintained daily. The dough ferments slowly — up to three days — developing a subtle tang, deeper flavor, and an incredibly tender crumb that many find easier to digest.

  • Standard turnaround: about 3 days
  • Long, natural fermentation with sourdough starter
  • Topped with a luscious berry cream cheese frosting

The Price Difference

Why is sourdough a little more?

Sourdough isn't just a different recipe — it's a different process. The longer fermentation time means more planning, more care, and more hands-on attention for every batch. Your sourdough rolls are started days before they reach your hands, which is reflected in the price.

More Time

Up to 3 days of slow fermentation vs. a faster rise for traditional rolls.

Living Starter

Our sourdough starter is fed and maintained daily, year-round.

Baked to Order

Every batch is scheduled around your order, never made ahead in bulk.

Still deciding?

If you want a familiar, sweet treat ready a little sooner, go traditional. If you're curious about slow-fermented flavor and don't mind the extra lead time, sourdough is worth the wait. Either way, both are made from scratch and baked fresh for your order.
