Hello, Wednesday! Chelsea, here.

I don’t know about all of you, but I couldn’t be happier that today’s high temp is finally above freezing. Sadly, it won’t last, but fear not. I know how to warm up any winter day: cinnamon rolls. They’re soft, warm, indulgent, and somehow make even the coldest mornings feel a little brighter. We’ve rounded up the best spots in town to get a cinnamon roll that hits all the right notes, because honestly, winter deserves this kind of sweet escape. Plus, if you buy some on Friday, you won’t have to make your own french toast this weekend when it snows!
