Grounds For Coffee Inc

2565 Alma St, Vancouver, BC V6R 3R8

Many argue that the gooey cinnamon rolls at this Alma Street coffee shop are the best in the city. Baked fresh on site throughout the day, the large, doughy buns are always warm and moist with a sticky sweet centre. The decadent delights can be enjoyed au naturel or slathered with a generous helping of cream cheese icing. Grounds for Coffee also works with local caterers to transform their signature cinnamon rolls into cakes of various shapes and sizes; these towering displays make a great brunch centrepiece or a tasty alternative to a traditional wedding cake.
