Cinnamon Bun - Single (1)

Our cinnamon buns are officially a bakery legend, and your taste buds are basically begging for an invite to the party. We bake them until they’re impossibly soft and fluffy—it’s like eating a sweet, sugary cloud. Then, we smother them in a rich cream cheese frosting because, honestly, you deserve it. Looking for the best cinnamon bun near me? You just found them. The Quick Deets: -Safety First: These treats are totally nut-free! -Heads Up: They do contain soy flour and dairy. -Pro Tip: Do yourself a favor and reheat yours before eating. It turns the frosting into a gooey masterpiece and makes the bun extra melty. Whether it’s breakfast, brunch, or a "just because I feel like it" snack, these buns are the main event.

Why DC Locals Choose Sweet Crimes for Gluten-Free Baking

Made a trip from Maryland to get some gluten free goodies. I am always on the hunt for delicious gluten free donuts. I got one of each flavor and two cinnamon rolls. My friend and I sat on the patio outback and I ate one of the cinnamon rolls - it’s delicious as expected. I’ve since tried two of the donut flavors and they’re great. It’s nice to find gluten free donuts that aren’t too dense!We came on a Saturday morning and there was street parking available. The blue building makes it easy to find. Customer service was great - the person working the counter was very friendly and helpful.I will absolutely be back! I look forward to trying something savory. Thank you for providing delicious gluten free options.

If you're around Eastern Market, this spot is just a quick 8-minute walk away. We stopped by over the weekend and absolutely loved it. I am sure that they hear this a lot, but even though I'm not gluten-free, their pastries were amazing.I had the fig & goat cheese scone for breakfast, and it was heavenly. The chocolate donut holes were also a sweet little treat I would snack on them every day.The staff up front were super friendly and welcoming to everyone. Definitely planning to go back soon!

Such a friendly place with really delicious food. I got the matcha latte, tomato and pesto sandwich and pumpkin spice cupcake. The bread was so unreal. It was soft and on the inside and crunchy on the outside like a proper baguette. The cupcake was so good too! The cake itself was very spongy and soft and the frosting was very light and a perfect fit. I will have to try the carrot cake next time I come!

We were visiting from out of town and I had happened to stumble upon this place right before our trip on TikTok! My partner has a wheat allergy and where we live isn't very gluten free friendly so I was so happy to find this place! Anyone who has attempted to knows gluten free baking is a labor of love. We got some chocolate donut holes, a cinnamon roll, a blueberry lemon scone, and a biscut. The donut holes were so good his eyes rolled into the back of his head! I wouldn't guess any of this stuff was gluten free and it was all so good! I was impressed with the prices too! If you are thinking about going here even if it is out of the way do it!

OMG this place is a gluten free oasis in DC. Worth the trip if you’re visiting DC for business or touring the museums. If you’re a local, it’s a comfortable, welcoming, delicious space. Tried their hoagies which were soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside. BLT was perfect and the side salad was a treat. Donut holes, cakes, pies, sandwich bread and BISCUITS were all tasty, light and fresh. Patio in the back is a nice surprise. They sell flours so you can bake your own gf treats (but they may not be as delish). Many locals come here as their go-to fresh bakery. Do yourself a favor and make this your go-to spot!
