This place definitely makes the list because they serve up a cinnamon bun for everyone - white or whole wheat, and with or without raisins. For the record, that’s four varieties of cinnamon buns. What makes this joint really fun is their live music Fridays nights. What more could you ask for with your buns?

Sugarbowl has a cinnamon bun the size of your head. They’re only served at breakfast and brunch, so you gotta come early for this marvel. They’re served in a bowl (to catch all the mess), and topped with a brown-sugar-turned-toffee crumble that’s heavenly.

OK, we can’t talk about cinnamon buns without bringing up Cinnzeo. Since this is really the only place that actually specializes in “cinnarolls,” you kind of can’t argue at how good they taste. They’re everything you think of when you think of cinnamon buns: melt-in-your-mouth dough, the cinnamon and brown sugar gooey centre and, of course, cream cheese icing.

Opened in October 1960, this authentic Italian bakery makes everything fresh and everything is true to tradition. From cannolis to cappuccinos, this is the real deal. There’s a nice community feel when you walk in to the bakery, even with old timers sitting at a table reading the Italian papers. Try their take on cinnamon buns with a beautiful cafe latte.

They bake a cinnamon bread daily that is kind of like a whole loaf of cinnamon rolls. It’s pretty phenomenal. They also make some mean mini cinnamon buns (sans raisins) that are perfect for on-the-go snacking. Their sticky buns (and rings) - though with no cinnamon to be tasted - offer up a nice variety on the traditional pastry.

Some like it hot: Best hot chocolate spots

On a cold, snowy Edmonton night, nothing says lovin’ like a cup of hot chocolate. It’s no surprise this drink was originally dubbed the “elixir of the gods.” Regardless of the variety you select, or whether you opt for the simplest hot chocolate on the menu, all I can say is ... don’t forget the marshmallows.

A slice of heaven: Perfect pie places
