Cinnaholic vegan dessert shop opening this month at Tempe Marketplace

PHOENIX — Vegan dessert shop Cinnaholic announced Wednesday it plans to open a new location at Tempe Marketplace this month.

The shop that serves up plant-based, allergen-friendly cinnamon rolls and other desserts will open on May 20 at the outdoor shopping center located at 2000 E. Rio Salado Parkway.

Cinnaholic in celebration of the new location at Tempe Marketplace is offering those who stop by on opening day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. a cinnamon roll for $1, according to a press release.

The location is anticipated to be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

The menu features more than 20 cinnamon roll flavors, such as the “Cookie Monster” which has cream cheese frosting, cookie dough, chocolate chips and chocolate sauce, as well as the “Caramel Apple Pie” with caramel frosting, homemade pie crumble, fresh apples and caramel sauce.

Cinnaholic also offers edible cookie dough, brownies, cookies, Dole Whip and seasonal items.

It marks the second Valley Cinnaholic location for owners Vikas and Roli Mittal, who opened their first Arizona shop in Scottsdale after moving from New Jersey. They also still own a location in New Jersey, which was the first Cinnaholic in the state when it opened in May 2019.

“We had a successful opening in New Jersey, and when we located to Arizona, we immediately began planning to open a Cinnaholic in our home state,” Vikas Mittal said in the release.

“Cinnaholic – Scottsdale is incredibly busy, and we have no doubt our Tempe location will be just as popular.”

There is also a Cinnaholic location in Gilbert, as well as another in Mesa that is set to open this year.

The chain, based out of Atlanta, Georgia, has more than 60 locations in the United States and Canada, with another 30 planned to open within the next year, according to the release.
