"During breakfast hours, the famous cinnamon rolls are a must."

Time Out

"Ann Sather has the sweetest cinnamon rolls in the Midwest. If you must, you can order some “real” food, but let’s get real: you’re only after those fluffy cinnamon rolls, which arrive too big for the plate and submerged under warm icing. Luckily for you, they come with almost every order."

Roadtrippers

"The cinnamon rolls are legendary: two big fluffy ones per order, each blanketed in sweet sugar glaze."

Haley Guidry

"One thing that you definitely do not want to miss is there famous cinnamon rolls. My advice to you is to go on a completely empty stomach. The generous portions here at Ann Sather will more than fill even the hungriest person up!"

Debbie Vanni

"The cinnamon rolls are just the perfect size with the right amount of icing; not one of those huge ones literally smothered in a heavy icing and over 1,000 calories per roll. Sather’s is the perfect roll."

Laura Levy Shatkin

"Those with a sweet tooth could easily slip into a sugar haze, as it's hard to resist the warm, gooey cinnamon rolls."

Amy Wang

"The cinnamon roll is a must. Definitely worth the unplanned stop."

The Breakfast Adventures

"The dough – soft and bready so it almost melts in your mouth. The delectable cinnamon swirls are not shy. The gloppy white icing is just the right combination of sweet and cinnamony. Overall, a sweet, gooey, aphrodisiacal mess."

"One of the first places I fell in love with after moving to Chicago was a little place that served the gooiest, sweetest, frostingest cinnamon rolls this side of Scandinavia: Ann Sather. The one thing I always went for was at least one cinnamon roll. On more than one occasion, I stopped and picked up a dozen on my way to campus for a meeting; take note...dry research meetings are made better with gooey frosting."

"These were really, really great cinnamon rolls. They were delicious and a good start to what turned in to a great day."
