American bakery chain Cinnabon is making a comeback in the United Kingdom after vanishing from high streets in September 2025. This time, the brand is not reopening standalone cafes. Instead, it is relaunching through supermarket partnerships, bringing its signature flavours to a supermarket near you.
Fans who associated Cinnabon with indulgent cinnamon swirls, rich frosting, and a distinctive bakery aroma often linked with international travel or shopping centre food courts felt its absence keenly. Now, shoppers can enjoy Cinnamon Doughnuts and Cinnamon Muffins in Co-op stores nationwide, as well as in selected ASDA stores from May 18. The timing aligns perfectly with National Doughnut Week, which runs from May 16 to May 24.
The Story Behind Cinnabon
Cinnabon was founded in Seattle over 40 years ago by a father and son. The brand conducted a global search for the best ingredients, eventually settling on its signature Makara cinnamon. This spice gives Cinnabon its unmistakable warmth, sweetness, and rich, comforting aroma.
According to reports, Brits' love of cinnamon has grown by almost 60% over the past decade. Whether enjoyed with a slow morning coffee, as a midday pick-me-up, or as an afternoon treat shared with friends, cinnamon offers a simple way to add a little moment of joy into the everyday.
Where to Find Cinnabon Products
The new Cinnabon products will be available in Co-op stores across the UK and in selected ASDA stores starting May 18. This marks a strategic shift from the brand's previous standalone locations, aiming to reach more customers through established retail channels. The move comes after the chain's sudden disappearance from the high street less than a year ago, leaving many fans disappointed.
