Can you believe it’s been one year since Cinnaholic opened it’s doors?! Through all the trial and errors, blood, sweat and tears, we made it! This last year has been one of the most rewarding yet challenging times of our lives. Over the course of a year we’ve proudly served over 25,000 people just in the store alone! Of course, we haven’t forgotten about our online customers. It’s been so exciting to see all the different states that our rolls are being sent to and know that we’re reaching people thousands of miles across the country.

Members of our small bakery family have come and gone as time has passed and some still remain from the very beginning. Each of them have played an integral role in the shaping of what Cinnaholic is today. We’ve survived equipment breakdowns, dough failures, insane rushes, and dreadfully slow days. We’ve put everything we have into making sure that our customers leave our store with an amazing, unique, handmade product and a great experience. As a result, we’ve met some incredible people along the way and have shared some very interesting stories.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with some fantastic organizations such as Farm Sanctuary, PETA and several other animal rights related organizations to help provide care for animals in need which has been extremely rewarding. We are so thankful to have been given the opportunity to reach out to so many people and offer educational literature and talk with our customers about the benefits of following a vegan diet. We’re even more thankful for all the positive feedback we’ve received! Speaking of feedback, THANK YOU to everyone who has left us a positive review on our Yelp! page. Sure, there have been days when we weren’t on top of our game but we’re HUMAN! We appreciate each of the 276 glowing reviews that put us at a 4.5 star rating. You rock!

We’d like to thank all the organizations who’ve interviewed us or mentioned us in the press. Thanks to SF Weekly, VegNews, Entrepreneur Magazine, NBC’s ‘The Feast’, The Oakland Tribune, The Contra Costa Times and many more. Without press, we’d still be the Bay Areas best kept secret! We’ve also been super blessed with the opportunity to gain some great exposure by serving some major celebrities such as Rise Against, Milo Ventimiglia, Ed Templeton, members of Marilyn Manson, Anti-Flag, John Feldman of Gold Finger, Davey Havok of AFI & Ricky Rockett of Poison just to mention a few. Who could have guessed Hollywood would end up in our store?! Thanks guys!

As if all this positivity wasn’t enough to have us beaming from ear to ear, we were just recently informed that Cinnaholic won the East Bay Express Editors Picks award for ‘Best Remixed Comfort Food’! What an amazing anniversary present! This definitely merits a celebration!
