Cinnaholic

Echo Park

Los Angeles is crawling with actors, performers, and film buffs! If you identify yourself in one of those categories, you have probably been asked, “what is your dream role?” But we’re here to ask you a more important question, what is your dream ROLL? Ours is the Hot Cocoa Dream Roll from Cinnaholic! This warm, sticky cinnamon roll is topped with hot cocoa frosting, homemade Cinnadoodle cookie bites, marshmallows, chocolate sauce, and powdered sugar. Our second choice is their seasonal Spiced Praline Roll with Chai frosting and pecan praline topping! It’s a dream come true!

Vegan By Victoria's

Santa Ana

Two words: Sweet. Bread. Ring in Día de Los Reyes, or ‘Three Kings Day’ a bit early this year with Rosca de Reyes from this all-vegan hot spot! The name of this traditional Mexican staple translates to “Kings’ Wreath!” The sweet bread is shaped like a wreath and decorated with figs, jicama, and other candied fruit to represent the jewels brought by the wise men. In typical king’s cake fashion, there’s a baby Jesus figurine baked inside. When the bread is sliced and shared with others, the person who gets the teeny tiny Jesus must throw a party and invite their family and friends!

Cocoluv Cookies

Pick-up, delivery, and nationwide shipping

If you’re as indecisive as us when it comes to choosing a dessert, you’ll love the Variety Luv Gift Box from Cocoluv! With a bread loaf, two coffee cakes, two brownies, one dozen cookies, a half dozen holiday cookies, and 8 ounces of almond toffee, you’ll taste a little bit of everything! Other Luv Gift Box variations are the Cookie Jar, Cookie Box, and Pastry Box. Their holiday cookies range from Peppermint Patties and Snickerdoodles to Ginger Molasses, Sugar Cookies, and Crinkle Cookies!

Larchmont and Santa Monica

The vegan and gluten-free pastries from this gem are so delectable, they would melt the hearts of Scrooge, Jack Frost, or even the Grinch! ‘Tis the season for Cake Balls, Gingerbread Friends, Ginger Teacake, and gift baskets!
