Three New Flavors That'll Change Your West Village Dessert Game

Spring arrives early at Benji's Buns with our most ambitious flavor launch yet. On March 24th, 2026, we're dropping three completely different takes on the classic cinnamon roll that'll have you questioning everything you thought you knew about late-night sweets in NYC.

These aren't just new flavors – they're edible experiences that transform our signature gooey, oversized cinnamon rolls into something entirely unexpected. Whether you're craving the nostalgic comfort of carrot cake, the playful indulgence of chocolate mini eggs, or the brunch-inspired decadence of French toast, we've got your next obsession covered.

What Makes These Flavors Special

Our Carrot Cake cinnamon roll isn't playing around. We're folding real grated carrots directly into our signature dough, creating pockets of moisture and subtle sweetness that complement our warm spice blend. The crown jewel? A thick blanket of house-made cream cheese frosting that pools in every crevice, topped with candied pecans for that perfect textural contrast.

The Cadbury Chocolate Mini Egg roll is pure childhood joy reimagined. We're stuffing our dough with actual mini eggs that create surprise bursts of chocolate and that distinctive candy shell crunch. The chocolate buttercream on top? It's rich enough to make your eyes roll back, and we're not shy about piling on extra mini eggs because more is always more.

But the French Toast roll is where we really went off the rails. Picture this: we take our cinnamon roll, dip it in actual French toast batter, grill it until golden, then drench it in real maple syrup. It's breakfast and dessert having the most beautiful collision you've ever tasted.

Flavor Profiles That Hit Different

The Carrot Cake delivers warm spice complexity – cinnamon, nutmeg, and a whisper of cardamom dancing with the natural sweetness of carrots. That cream cheese frosting cuts through the richness with just enough tang to keep you coming back for more.

Our Cadbury Mini Egg roll is chocolate chaos in the best way. The mini eggs add textural surprises throughout every bite, while the chocolate buttercream provides that smooth, rich backdrop that chocolate lovers crave. It's nostalgic without being childish, indulgent without being overwhelming.

The French Toast roll brings breakfast comfort with dessert intensity. That maple syrup soaks into every layer, creating a sticky-sweet situation that's impossible to eat gracefully – and we wouldn't want you to try. It's messy, it's indulgent, it's everything you want from a West Village cinnamon roll experience.

Perfect Pairings

These flavors are designed for sharing (though we won't judge if you don't). The Carrot Cake pairs beautifully with our house coffee or a cold glass of milk. The Cadbury Mini Egg is perfect with hot chocolate or even a bold espresso to cut through the sweetness. The French Toast roll? That's calling for fresh orange juice or maybe even a mimosa if you're feeling fancy.

Each roll is sized for two people to share comfortably – perfect for those late-night Christopher Street strolls when you and your person need something sweet to fuel the conversation. They're also ideal for solo indulgence when you need a moment of pure, gooey bliss.

Limited Time Only

Here's the thing about our seasonal flavors – they're truly limited. We craft them in small batches with seasonal ingredients, and when they're gone, they're gone. These three launch March 24th and will stick around through spring, but we can't promise they'll make it to summer.

We've seen what happens when our limited flavors hit – lines around the corner, sold-out signs by 10 PM, and serious FOMO among NYC dessert lovers. Don't be that person scrolling through Instagram stories, wishing they'd tried them while they could.

Visit Us in the West Village

You'll find these new flavors alongside all your favorites on our menu starting March 24th. We're open until midnight on weekends because we know the best NYC dessert cravings hit when most places are closed. Come find us at our location on Christopher Street – look for the line of people who clearly know what's good.

Whether you're ending a perfect West Village date night, fueling a late study session, or just treating yourself because it's Tuesday, these new flavors are ready to become your next obsession. Fair warning: the French Toast roll is particularly messy, the Carrot Cake will ruin you for all other cream cheese frostings, and the Cadbury Mini Egg might transport you back to childhood Easter mornings.
