Description
[edit]Kinnamōns operates two bakeries in the Portland metropolitan area; the flagship bakery is in Beaverton's Cedar Hills Crossing[1] and another location is in northeast Portland. The name of the business is derived from the Greek word for cinnamon ("kinámōmon").[2] Kinnamōns serves cinnamon rolls with various glazes and icing flavors.[3] Varieties include Banana Cream Pie,[4] Blueberry Crumble, Caramel Apple Pie, Cookies and Cream, Key Lime Pie, Maple Bacon, Passionfruit Chocolate,[5] Peanut Butter Chocolate Pretzel,[3][6] Raspberry Pistachio, Tiramisu.[2] Kinnamōns also offers coffee drinks.[3]
History
[edit]Kinnamōns was founded by restaurateur Micah Camden in 2022. Initially owned by former professional American football player Ndamukong Suh, the business was acquired by Craveworthy Brands in 2025.[3][7] Suh will continue as an investor and will join Craveworthy's advisory board.[8]
The first bakery opened on Thurman Street in northwest Portland's Pearl District in July 2022.[2][9][10] A second bakery opened in Beaverton in December 2023.[11] In 2024, the original bakery closed and the production facility moved to Alberta Street in northeast Portland's Concordia neighborhood. The Beaverton location became the flagship.[12] Camden attributed the Pearl District bakery's end to a decrease in foot traffic and the closure of other businesses in the neighborhood.[13]
In 2023, free cinnamon rolls were offered to commemorate the opening of the Baes Fried Chicken at Alberta Alley.[14]
