A Detroiter has turned her vegan lifestyle into a new business.
Brandy Jackson has opened 313 Cinnamon Rolls in Midtown at 119 Garfield St., Suite 200. Dubbed a “Cinntique,” a portmanteau of “cinnamon” and “boutique,” the space offers up to 30 rotating flavors of what Jackson calls “Cinnys,” or her name for her cinnamon rolls.
“I started 313 Cinnamon Rolls because I really missed a sweet treat when I started my vegan lifestyle journey,” Jackson says in a statement. “My original plan was to create a vegan dessert company but the Cinnys really took over.”
She adds, “Cinnys were the first dessert I created and they became so popular, I changed course, created 313 Cinnamon Rolls and started to create flavors of all the desserts I missed.”
Jackson says all doughs, icings, fillings, and toppings are completely vegan and made fresh daily. Flavors include “The Trad” with vanilla icing, “The OG” with lemon icing, “The Up!” with 7-Up dough and glaze, “The What’s Up Doc?!” carrot cake, and “The Sweet Red” with strawberry dough, among others.
A variety of cookies and cheesecakes are also available.
Jackson says she also plans to host vegan pop-ups in an attached vendor space, Cinny B’s Marketplace, from noon-4 p.m. every fourth Saturday of the month.
“I have this beautiful space and I want to share it with other small businesses!” Jackson says. “Paying it forward is top tier to me and there have been many times in my journey that someone gave me a platform and I want to do the same for others.”
