Cinnabon Swirl, a new concept from Cinnabon and Carvel, is now open across from PCC. It features exclusive items like the Bonini, a cinnamon roll sandwich with soft serve, and the Cinnabon Swirl Sundae, a cinnamon roll topped with soft serve.
The first location opened this May in Peoria, Arizona. The Pasadena location is the fourth and the first in California. The menu includes soft serve ice cream (cup or cone, sundae), ice cream sandwiches, shakes, and cinnamon rolls (including minibons and the center of the roll), ice cream cakes, ice cream pints, and cinnampacks.
There are four soft serve ice cream flavors a day.
Available soft serve flavors:
* pumpkin
* cheesecake
* vanilla
* chocolate+
You can also add toppings to the soft serve (sauces, whipped cream, sprinkles, crunchies, nuts, brownies, cookie dough, etc.)
Small pumpkin and vanilla soft serve cup with chocolate crunchies ($5.99 + $0.79): There was a generous amount of rich ice cream. The texture was airy, soft, and creamy. It melted quickly. Both flavors were mild (aka bland). I didn't like the soft serve.
Service was friendly. The place was new and cheerful. It certainly smelled wonderful, if you like the scent of cinnamon rolls. There is a parking lot behind the store.
The grand opening will take place on September 5.
