Moats of cinnamon

Cinnamon roll, The Paisley Café

The Paisley Café in Orangevale is one of those family-owned places with so many made-from-scratch baked items, it’s difficult to know what to choose. When confronted with this pleasing problem, I say go for its best-known item. Paisley Café boasts a ginormous, frosting-drenched cinnamon roll ($4.25) as its signature treat, and proudly displays sheets of the gooey behemoths front and center for all to ogle. Ask for it warmed up, then use a fork to cut through the deluge of cream cheese frosting and squishy dough to find bubbling moats of cinnamon swirling down to the very last bite. 9372 Madison Ave. Suite 1, Orangevale; the-paisley-cafe.com.
