A South Florida institution known for sticky buns baked fresh since 1956 just picked up a statewide honor: Yelp has named Knaus Berry Farm in southwest Miami-Dade the best cinnamon roll destination in Florida. The ranking comes after 70 years of serving the pastries that have made it a regional fixture.
A Statewide Honor For A Local Staple
Knaus Berry Farm ranked number one in Florida on Yelp's list of the best cinnamon rolls in every state, according to WSVN. The station notes the farm earned the recognition after 70 years of serving up its famous sticky buns, a milestone that has made the family-run operation a go-to stop for locals and visitors chasing a warm pastry. The farm's own site backs up that longevity, stating it has been handmade, since 1956.
The recognition is part of a larger nationwide roundup. Yelp released its Best Cinnamon Roll in Every State list, according to bakemag.com. The list was curated by Yelp Elite Squad members based on review volume, ratings and mentions of cinnamon rolls, the trade publication reports. Knaus Berry Farm in Miami is among the featured businesses, per the same account.
Appetite For Cinnamon Rolls Is Climbing Nationwide
The timing lines up with a broader surge in interest. Yelp searches for cinnamon roll brunch increased 500% from September 2025 to September 2026, while searches for bakery cinnamon rolls rose 300% over the same period, bakemag.com reports. Separately, Yelp compiled the list by analyzing reviews from Yelp Elite members and ranking businesses using review volume and ratings, according to Business Insider, which also lists Knaus Berry Farm among the featured spots.
What Makes The Farm's Rolls A Draw
Knaus Berry Farm says its baking team has over 140 years of combined experience at the farm, and that the rolls are served warm out of the oven all day, according to its website. That steady supply comes with a catch for big buyers: the farm limits customers to four dozen cinnamon rolls per purchase, bakemag.com notes, a cap likely aimed at managing demand during its busy seasonal stretch.
The farm isn't open year-round. It closes on Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, and Easter, according to its website.
Strawberry Season On The Horizon
Beyond cinnamon rolls, Knaus Berry Farm expects strawberry picking to return sometime in December, per WSVN. The farm's U-Pick page says it expects to have U-Pick strawberries starting in mid-December and running into March, with an official launch date to be shared on social media in early December. For now, the exact start date remains unannounced, leaving regulars to watch for that update as the season approaches.
