Hey, it's another Cake Tour in Summerland! [Summerland tag created] The Beanery, at first glance, comes across as a standard coffee shop; the name should say it all, I suppose. Except that they're not your average coffee shop and likewise feature a surprisingly large selection -- at least in terms of a coffee shop -- of assorted baked goods including buns, muffins, some sort of raw treats, and what seems to be their specialty: cheese buns. And it's all theirs, too.

But of course I wasn't there for their cheese buns (though cheese buns can be good); instead, I took the cinnamon bun, which was recommended by another customer. This was a tall, fluffy square cinnamon bun with a thick coating of icing on top that kind of got into the grooves, making some parts sweet and sticky and others less so. Overall, it was alright as far as cinnamon buns go;  nothing really special, but not bad either.
