Benji's New Flavors: Pistachio Butter, Strawberry Scone & Banana Bread 1/30/26

Three New Flavors Have Landed in the West Village

This week at Benji's Buns, we're serving up not one, not two, but three incredible new cinnamon roll flavors that'll have you questioning everything you thought you knew about NYC dessert. Our bakers have been working overtime to perfect this trifecta: Pistachio Butter, Strawberry Scone, and Banana Bread. Each one brings something completely different to the table, but they all share that signature gooey, oversized perfection that keeps our Christopher Street location buzzing until midnight on weekends.

What Makes These Flavors Special

These aren't your typical cinnamon roll variations. We've taken inspiration from beloved bakery classics and transformed them into something entirely new. The Pistachio Butter elevates our signature bun with rich, roasted nuts that create an almost savory-sweet balance. Our Strawberry Scone bridges the gap between British teatime and American indulgence. And the Banana Bread captures all that nostalgic, home-baked warmth in a format that's somehow even better than the original.

Flavor Profiles That Tell a Story

The Pistachio Butter starts with our classic dough, but we've filled and topped it with smooth pistachio butter that delivers deep, roasted flavor. It's creamy, slightly sweet, and ultra-luxurious—like treating yourself to the finest nuts in pastry form. Each bite has this beautiful nutty depth that pairs surprisingly well with our signature cinnamon.

Our Strawberry Scone takes inspiration from classic bakery favorites, combining soft cinnamon bun texture with buttery scone notes. The bright strawberry flavor cuts through the richness perfectly, creating that ideal balance of sweet, fruity, and comforting. It's like summer and cozy mornings had a delicious baby.

The Banana Bread might be our most nostalgic creation yet. We've infused banana directly into the dough along with subtle spices and sweetness, then baked it into our signature soft, gooey format. The result tastes like the banana bread of your childhood dreams—warm, familiar, and ultra-cozy, but elevated to West Village cinnamon roll status.

Perfect Pairings

Each of these flavors shines on its own, but they also play beautifully with our beverage offerings. The Pistachio Butter pairs beautifully with espresso—the nuttiness complements the coffee's boldness. The Strawberry Scone is perfect with tea, honoring its British inspiration. And honestly, the Banana Bread goes with everything—coffee, tea, milk, or just enjoyed solo while you people-watch from our Christopher Street windows.

Limited Time Only

Here's the thing about our rotating flavors—they don't stick around forever. These three beauties are available this week only, and once they're gone, there's no telling when they'll return to our menu. We've seen too many customers come back asking for last month's special, only to find we've moved on to something completely new. Don't let these be the ones that got away.
