Picture it: you’ve been seated at a table and you’re scanning the menu deciding what you want to have for breakfast. The options are solid and there’s an outstanding balance between sweet and savory options. But then you see it, the one thing that can take breakfast from good to great – a cinnamon roll on the menu. Nothing compares to adding on a cinnamon roll side at breakfast and these Metro Detroit restaurants are serving up the best…
