US dessert chain Cinnabon Bakery will soon enter Australia, with Brisbane locals soon to be the first to try the signature cinnamon scrolls.

Cinnabon Bakery will open in Toombul Shopping Centre and will be offering its popular Classic Roll, as well as Caramel PeacanBon, BonBites, CinnaSweeties and Cinnabon Stix.

Toombul centre manager Melanie Hodge said she is excited to be bringing another ‘first’ to the local community.

“We’re focused on bringing new and exciting experiences and tastes to the northern suburbs, and the arrival of Cinnabon, coupled with the opening of our new foodie playground, UPSTAIRS, means we’re able to do just that,” Hodge said.

“We’re the first shopping centre to bring Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq to Queensland, the first centre to open a foodie playground, the first to bring Pet Barn and Bunnings inside a centre. We love bringing our customers new experiences, and we’re thrilled to be bringing Australia’s first Cinnabon to market.”

Cinnabon first started in Seattle, Washington in 1985 by a father-son duo. The success of the scrolls has seen the chain expand across 50 countries worldwide.

Cinnabon Bakery will open in mid-December.
