The 12 Best Cinnamon Rolls In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Santa Monica’s Petitgrain is already on our list for the best cookies and best croissants, so we weren't exactly shocked when their beautiful snail-shaped roll wowed us. What is surprising, however, is the way Petitgrain lends a savvy French accentto the classic formula. The buttery laminated dough is off-the-charts flaky, and there’s a nutty, sesame-like flavor to the caramelized bottom layer, á la a great kouign aman. The icing is more of a thin, glossy glaze that crackles like a candy shell and adds sweetness without distracting from the pastry.Is It Better Than Cinnabon?Yes" - Cathy Park, Garrett Snyder
