Baked with heart daily
Our Story
Welcome to Cinnamon Square, where our passion for baking has grown into an award-winning bakery known for cinnamon buns, artisanal breads, cakes and handcrafted treats. Every bake is made with care, quality ingredients and the warm, friendly service that keeps our customers coming back.
Our History
Built on baking passion
We are a multi award winning, artisanal bakery, based in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire.
Cinnamon Square was born out of a vision to share the joy of our namesake product, the Cinnamon Square Bun, with our community. The bakery opened in 2005, and so many years later, the Cinnamon Square bun still prompts smiles like no other with its unrivalled flavour, softness and gooey-ness!
We are a family business, with a passion for using quality ingredients and traditional methods to make uncompromising artisanal baked goods and Real Bread. Whilst traditional methods remain at the heart of our practice, using time-honoured techniques and decades-old sourdough cultures, we bring a creative and innovative approach to baking.
We are always experimenting with new products and techniques to keep our offerings exciting and tasting as delicious as possible.
This approach has won us numerous awards since 2005, including Great Taste and Baking Industry Awards.
At the heart of our business is our community of dedicated customers, who have shown us unwavering support since we first opened.
We also appreciate the support from our wider community and those customers who regularly purchase our products on-line. We love that we are able to share our gooey Cinnamon Buns across the country and bring joy to so many people.
Thank you for all the wonderful and ‘Cin’sational support.
