When we started Cinnaholic, we had the idea of creating not only a 100% vegan business, but also a business that was more then just a workplace. Therefore, we made the decision to pay our employees 50% over CA State minimum wage from day one, and we intend to include benefits as soon as business is stable and predictable. On top of that, we spend more money than a comparable business on things like vegan sugar (which is difficult to find in bulk sizes since it’s only available from a couple of suppliers in the US) and other high quality ingredients. Lastly, we as the business owners, have not taken out any money yet in order to keep the business stable and running. To say the least, being a vegan and fair business is financially challenging!

We never thought that our small family business would evolve into a such a big family of loyal customers and friends.

With being in business for only 11 weeks, we are pleasantly overwhelmed by the support and feedback we are getting from our customers. Yes, we’ve had some rough days, and yes, hundreds of little problems that needed adjustment. We especially took a big hit when the recent heatwave kept our customers from indulging in warm cinnamon rolls. But thanks to all of you, we made it!

October, here we come!

With the holidays just around the corner, we have some amazing specials planned for you. Make sure to stop by for Halloween to see us in action. Have a Halloween party planned? We’re now taking orders for our exclusive Halloween themed Cinnacakes!

We are putting everything we have into Cinnaholic and we value each piece feedback we receive from you. It not only helps us to improve our product, but it helps to make your experience in our store even better. If you have any feedback for us, you can send us an email or find us on Facebook, Yelp and Twitter.

Thank you SO MUCH for the first 11 amazing weeks so far! We look forward to the future!

Shannon, Florian and the Cinnaholic team.
