Isles Bun and Coffee in Minneapolis named as having “world’s best cinnamon rolls”
MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota is known as the state of hockey, but some Twin Cities cinnamon rolls are also putting the state on the map.
Sweet lovers happily waited in line outside of Isles Bun and Coffee in Minneapolis.Â
They were voted by “World’s Best Cinnamon Rolls” as having the world’s best for 2024.
The award comes after thousands of submissions and a visit by the website. Fans say even in frigid temps, it’s worth the wait.
“These days any time you find a bakery thats making it in house with such high quality ingredients, it’s a delicious product you can tell it’s fresh,” said Stacy Carlson.
“We’re cinnamon roll fans, but we typically only eat Pillsbury so this is about to change our life, right?” said Emily Pease.
However, World’s Best Cinnamon Rolls says the unsung hero at Isle Buns are the puppy dog tails. They’re made with the ends of cinnamon roll dough.Â
The organization has been naming the World’s Best Cinnamon Roll since 2018.Â

Vikings buy fans nearly $2 million worth of tickets for Lions game
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Some Minnesota Vikings fans are getting a chance to see them face the Detroit Lions at Ford Field Sunday night for a significantly lower price after the Vikings’ ownership group made a big purchase.Â
Vikings buy tickets for fans
What we know:Â Vikings season ticket holders, some staff and stake-holders got an email on Thursday announcing the opportunity to pick up some discounted tickets for the Vikings versus Lions game in Detroit Sunday night.Â
The email said, “We’re excited to share that a limited number of tickets are now available for the Vikings vs. Lions game this Sunday, January 5, in Detroit! As a valued Season Ticket Member, we want to offer you the opportunity to purchase lower level seats for Sunday night’s game.”
The message then explains that the limited number of seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis, before adding that the tickets “are intended to be used by Vikings fans and not to be positioned for resale or sold on the secondary market.”
Sources confirmed that in the days leading up to the game, the Vikings bought about 1,900 tickets on the secondary market for about $1,000 each, for a total just under $2 million, according to Sports Illustrated.Â
The Vikings then offered a significantly lower price to season ticket holders, with some sold for as little as $200.

Sports Illustrated writer Albert Breer reports the Lions contacted league officials and were told “that the Vikings didn’t break any rules in the process of pulling this off.”
The tickets are also reportedly for seats that are behind the visiting team bench zone at Ford Field, cutting into the number of Detroit fans in the stadium and potentially helping the Vikings communicate on the sideline.Â
What they’re saying: Minnesota Vikings spokesman Jeff Anderson shared this statement: “Given the uniqueness of this game, we wanted to offer our stakeholders – staff, family, Season Ticket Members and team partners – an opportunity to attend.”
Secondary ticket marketÂ
The other side: Sports Illustrated reported one instance that “got the Lions’ attention” when one ticket holder sold their seat on the secondary market for $724.
That buyer then sold the ticket to Advantage Tickets, which is a company that reportedly worked with the Vikings, for $1,200. The Vikings then sold the ticket to a season ticket holder for $300, who then sold it on the secondary market for $690. Sports Illustrated said the buyer could be a broker, because the ticket was back on the market on Saturday. Â
Pivotal game aheadÂ
Why it matters:Â Whoever wins the game Sunday night will win the NFC North title and secure the No. 1 seed as well as home-field advantage through the playoffs. The loser is the No. 5 seed with a 14-3 record, and will be on the road for Wild Card Weekend.
