Franchise-aholic
While River City citizens sink their teeth into the current trend of artisanal toast, foodie forecasters are left licking their lips for what's next. And gourmet cinnamon rolls are a possibility. The baked good has got the nostalgia factor and its bewitching aroma going for it, and now, the all-vegan Berkeley-based cinnamon-roll shop Cinnaholic is looking for franchisees. There are more than two-dozen choices both of frosting and toppings on the bakery's menu, so any compassionate entrepreneurs that open up one of these spots might encounter a customer who orders a roll with butterscotch frosting and a cookie-dough topping—weird, but plausible. Make a more palatable pairing at www.cinnaholic.com, or go to Berkeley (2132 Oxford Street) for a sugar-crash-inducing roll for now, until some enterprising folks choose to bring the sweets closer to the capital.
