Cinnamon Productions… A Sweet Deal
by Cathy Villafana

Don’t be fooled by the name. While Cinnamon Productions Bakery & Café makes a killer cinnamon roll, they also serve a delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner. Having started as a small bakery in Seal Beach in 1987, Cinnamon Productions recently added a San Clemente location, near the Krikorian Theaters on Camino de los Mares, which now gives patrons five restaurants to choose from in Orange County.

Cinnamon Productions offers a whole host of delights for those with a sweet tooth. If you can manage to walk past the long counter of baked goods and resist the divine smell, you’re to be commended. With items like cinnamon rolls, brownies, croissants, scones, cupcakes, pies, and decadent desserts like tiramisu, white amaretto and “monkey madness,” you’ll have a difficult time choosing just one.

Since they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I brought my 8 and 10-year-old along to Cinnamon Productions to start the day and to get their uncensored opinions. My son chose the Kid’s Scramble and my daughter selected the Kid’s Combo with pancakes. Both devoured their meals, without the usual prompting to finish, which is a clear indication that we’ll be coming back again soon.

I had the hearty and delicious CP Breakfast Wrap with hash browns, plus a cinnamon roll that called my name from the moment I walked through the door. Once my kids started to “assist” me with the generous helping of country-style hash browns that accompanied my entrée, there was little sign they ever existed. As I expected, the giant, gooey cinnamon roll was heavenly.

Owner Randy Farah has succeeded at his vision of providing customers with good portions and a good value. With 80 items to choose from, Cinnamon Productions is an unpretentious and cozy place to take the family or to meet friends any time of the day. If you’re planning a special occasion or need help with a corporate event, they also offer full-service or drop-off catering, gift baskets and custom-made cakes. Visit
