Best Cinnamon Roll

Chacko's Bakery
Chacko's Bakery
6001 Johnson Drive, Mission
913-671-8199
Readers' Choice: Cinnabon
The biggest, most decadent cinnamon roll in town is baked daily by David and Rachel Finn, owners of tiny Chacko's, where all of the pastries are oversize and mind-bogglingly buttery rich. Unlike those vastly overrated, doughy, and bland T.J. Cinnamon's rolls, these square, flaky, and heavy ones (they weigh at least a pound) are loaded with spicy cinnamon and butter, and one roll easily feeds two people (or a small, underdeveloped country). Equally good is Chacko's variation called the Downtowner, which is a slightly smaller cinnamon bun rolled in granulated sugar and baked until it's a light and crunchy but moist piece of heaven. Both are fabulous dipped in coffee or hot chocolate.
