About

Cinnamon Roll Bakery & Café is a counter-service bakery in Mariposa, right along the route into Yosemite, and it's built a loyal following — 4.6 stars across 192 reviews. The name is no accident: house-made cinnamon rolls, with cream cheese frosting available, are the reason most people pull off the road here.

What Regulars Order

Beyond the cinnamon roll, reviewers point to the B.L.A.T.O. sandwich, breakfast bagels, avocado toast, and a well-liked chai. Coffee gets steady praise, and the shop doubles as a small gallery — the walls are hung with local art you can browse while you wait.

Good to Know

Hours: open daily, 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM, seven days a week
Price: moderate ($$)
Service is counter-style and can slow down at peak breakfast hours — some reviewers note waits of 20 minutes or more on busy mornings, so build in a little slack if you're timing a Yosemite start.

It's a solid, casual stop for coffee and a pastry before or after a day in the park, in a warm, art-filled space that feels distinctly Mariposa.

I love the tea and place and food, but I think the bread is a little soggy and the food take quite a while to make so it’s not as crispy toast as I expected. The food taste and the tea is very good. I like it.
