Wondering what drink you should try with your cinnamon bun? Cinnamon buns make for the perfect sweet treat and what better way to enjoy this tasty treat than with the perfect drink? Here are our top drinks that we like to pair with cinnamon buns!
A Cup of Coffee
When thinking about what drinks go best with cinnamon buns, we have to start with the classic breakfast drink- coffee! Coffee is a classic go-to drink that pairs perfectly with cinnamon buns. There are also so many different types of coffee to try such as:
- Regular hot coffee
- An iced latte (or hot)
- An americano
- Cold brew with cream
- A foamy cappuccino
A Glass of Milk
Another classic breakfast drink and a staple in many people’s diets- milk! A creamy glass of milk pairs well with the sweetness of cinnamon buns. If you find cinnamon buns to be too sweet, a glass of milk can help tone down the sweetness and balance out the flavor.
Mimosas
Not only are mimosas a classic brunch drink, but they are also a fun drink to serve with cinnamon buns. Mimosas and cinnamon buns are great together especially if you are hosting a brunch event. We love mimosas and cinnamon buns for a morning bridal brunch or a large family breakfast.
An Herbal Tea
If you are not a coffee drinker (or if you just love tea), herbal tea pairs well with cinnamon buns! There are so many different flavor profiles you can try and you can experiment with your tea hot or iced. We prefer a tangy, fruity herbal tea with our cinnamon buns!
Hot Chocolate
If you love all things sweet, a nice warm cup of hot chocolate is perfect with a nice warm cinnamon bun. Plus chocolate is the perfect flavor to pair with a cinnamon bun. Top off your hot chocolate with some marshmallows or whipped cream for a cozy morning breakfast! This is great around the holidays!
Mama K’s Buns & Drink Pairings
Now that you have some general ideas of what drinks to serve with cinnamon buns, let’s get into some Mama K’s Buns specifics! Here are our favorite drinks and signature bun pairings.
Cinnamon Bun With Cream Cheese Icing & an Iced Vanilla Latte
Our most popular cinnamon bun, the classic cinnamon bun with cream cheese icing is delicious with an iced vanilla latte! The vanilla flavor and the cream cheese frosting complement each other in a tasty way. Add in a creamy latte with a strong espresso, and you have the perfect pairing!
Cinnamon Bun With Caramel Icing & Hot Coffee With Cream
Our next pairing is our cinnamon bun with caramel frosting. The caramel icing is super sweet, which is why we like to pair it with a plain hot coffee with cream. This bun is best served with a coffee without sugar (unless you love all things super sweet of course) which is why out go-to is a plain coffee. Add your favorite cream and you are all set!
Sticky Bun & A Glass of Milk
Of course we have to pick a bun to serve with milk (all of them do pair well with milk) and we are going with our classic sticky bun. Our classic sticky bun has a delicious caramel-like coating that is super sweet which is why we like to pair it with milk. A cold glass of milk tones down the sweetness and is super refreshing with this bun.
Pecan Sticky Bun & Hot Apple Cider
This is a surprising pairing, but perfect for fall and cozy weather. Our sticky bun with nuts pairs well with a hot mug of apple cider. What says fall and spooky season better than pecan sticky buns and hot apple cider? If you are local to Greencastle, PA and it is fall, stop by Tracey’s Orchard and pick up the fresh local apple cider and our pecan sticky buns.
Raspberry Bun & Fruit-Infused Water
The next pairing that we love is a refreshing duo that is perfect for summer and hot weather! Our raspberry-filled bun tastes delicious with fruit-infused water. The raspberry filling and fruit-infused water bounce off each other and create a refreshing blend. Plus there are so many fruit-infused water combos you can try like lemon and cucumber, strawberry and lemon, blueberry and orange or your favorite fruit!
Blueberry Bun & an Herbal Berry Tea
Finally, we have another fruit bun pairing! Our blueberry-filled bun with cream cheese frosting pairs well with an herbal berry tea. This bun tastes fabulous with a tangy berry tea like blueberry tea, raspberry tea, or blackberry tea. Try our blueberry bun with a berry herbal tea hot or iced!
