Creating a deliciously perfect cinnamon roll is a true art. Never following an exact recipe, a seasoned baker knows when to add a little flour here, sprinkle just the right amount of cinnamon and sugar there, and then let them rise to perfection before popping them into the oven. The hardest part is waiting in anticipation to take that first warm, gooey bite of heavenly goodness.

If you’re not one to tackle such a baking feat in your own kitchen, don’t give up hope! You can taste one of the best cinnamon rolls in Denver at the Butcher Block Cafe. When you take a look at this old school mom and pop restaurant from the outside, you might wonder what all the hype is about. But, once you get inside and get your hands on one of their freshly baked cinnamon rolls, you will become a believer too.

You can find The Butcher Block Cafe at 1701 38th St. Look for the humble sign (that hasn't changed in over a decade) inviting people in for their legendary, homemade cinnamon rolls.

This small, hometown diner knows what they are doing when it comes to cinnamon rolls. These extra decadent rolls that are smothered in melted butter have become highly sought after in the city.

As you devour your cinnamon roll, you will love the old school charm that surrounds you. Sit at the counter or a linoleum booth and revel at the knick-knack covered walls filled with unique treasures for sale (old lunchboxes, movie posters, etc.)

Chef Corey Michel uses intuition and over ten years of experience when rolling out the cinnamon rolls early in the morning. His father and uncles did the same before him after opening the first Butcher Block Cafe in 1995.

Although the cinnamon rolls are their specialty, Butcher Block Cafe features a host of 'oldies but goodies' in their menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Think simple and savory breakfast plates that can be smothered in green chili or country gravy, a half pound Block Buster Hamburger for lunch, or liver and onions for dinner.
