Knaus Berry Farm

"The Dish: Cinnamon Rolls Slowly peeling and unraveling these sticky rolls is as big a part of every Miamian’s childhood as going to Santa’s Enchanted Forest (RIP). And yes, they are absolutely worth the wait—especially since you can buy a milkshake while you wait in line. It’s always a good idea to come prepared with an umbrella and a chair. Eat one immediately in the car after you get them, and freeze the rest. We swear they’ll last the nine months Knaus Berry is closed. " - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino

"Any day trip to Homestead should involve a stop at Knaus Berry Farm. The classic bakery and farm is open only from November through April, and during those months the line can easily pass two hours. What those people are waiting for are cinnamon rolls—and yes, they are worth the wait, especially when they’re still warm from the oven. But there are other things you should buy here, like dinner rolls, bread pudding, and pie. Just remember to grab a milkshake while you wait in line. Or come on a random weekday before the nearby school gets out and there probably won’t be a line at all. " - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer

"While the sticky bun king is only open for less than half a year, South Floridians flock to Knaus Berry Farm when it does open its doors. The lines are long but worth the wait. The concept began with a roadside strawberry stand and grew into a Redland staple in 1959. Aside from the popular sticky buns, Knaus Berry Farm also sells produce, baked bread, pies, cheesecakes, and jellies. Make sure to grab a shake to-go or enjoy while picking some fresh berries on the farm. Open yearly November through April." - Alona Martinez

"Drive Time: 45 minutes Knaus Berry Farm is nothing new to Miamians, who happily make the annual pilgrimage here to spend three hours in line for some seriously good cinnamon rolls and milkshakes. It’s still a worthwhile day trip whether you’re someone with the words “Cinnamon Rolls!” written on their calendar, or a first-timer to Knaus Berry. The Homestead farm and bakery sadly closes for the summer months and reopens November through April. If you’re not reading this in November through April, we’re sorry. Please don’t be mad at us." - ryan pfeffer, carlos c olaechea
