You’re probably asking why would you drive across Arkansas for a cinnamon roll, right? Well, that’s because Briar Rose Bakery doesn’t serve your average grocery store cinnamon rolls. In fact, this charming bakery has some of the best cinnamon rolls in Arkansas. One taste of the sweet and gooey treat will change your life forever. So much so that you’ll want to keep driving to this Arkansas bakery over and over again.
In 2011, the opening of Briar Rose Bakery was a dream come true for owners Larry and Diane Bowden.
Open several days a week, the family-operated bakery is located on Main Street in the heart of the charming town of Farmington.
And you’ll immediately fall in love with the charming eatery as soon as you lay eyes on it. You’ll be blown away by the lovely wisterias draping over the patio.
Also, the whimsical cottage-style building will remind you of something from a fairy tale - as will the bakery's name, which appears to be a nod to Sleeping Beauty.
From the tiny door for the little ones, to the vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, to the adorable custom-made benches, you’ll feel like you’ve left Arkansas and entered an enchanted world.
The European-style bakery specializes in artisan breads as well as homemade sweet and savory treats.
The varied offerings include layered cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes, Danish pastries, and everything in between.
Additionally, the bakery is also a deli that serves delicious lunch and breakfast items. Do try one of the savory sandwiches served on a buttery, flaky croissant or on a cinnamon roll. You won’t regret it.
You can also enjoy homemade soups, wood-fired pizza, freshly roasted coffee, salads, and a crowd favorite - biscuits and sausage gravy.
But what makes this bakery shine is the yummy, sugary cinnamon rolls, which some have called the best cinnamon rolls in Arkansas.
Of course, these cinnamon rolls are to die for, they are golden brown and baked to perfection, with the right balance of sugar and cinnamon.
Not to mention the ooey-gooey homemade buttercream and cream cheese icing melting on top of the warm cinnamon goodness.
This sweet treat has earned this bakery multiple awards and recognition, and people drive from across Arkansas just to sample it.
And to all my gluten-free or keto dieters, have no fear, you will find something at Briar Rose Bakery that you can indulge in.
Believe it or not, but the mini divine lemon cheesecake (pictured above) is keto-friendly, low-carb, gluten, and sugar-free.
