THE RECORD

identity

Wheat flour, sugar, margarine and spices form the bun; a separate sugar-and-palm-oil icing finishes it. The restaurant and bistro link to the same U.S. Food Facts entry. [2]

THE RECORD

history

Ingka Group traces IKEA’s cinnamon buns to the early 1960s, around the arrival of its first restaurant. The company connects them with fika, the Swedish pause for a drink, something sweet and company. In October 2025 it reported more than 25 million freshly baked buns sold during the preceding financial year. [3]

In the United States, the Columbus store’s June 2017 opening announcement named cinnamon buns at the Exit Bistro and offered a bun voucher among its promotions. That is a dated Ohio appearance, rather than the first American sale. [4]

THE RECORD

nutrition

The table covers one iced bun, including the icing listed in the U.S. ingredients. Wheat and soy are listed allergens. A take-home pack has a separate portion identity. [2]

THE RECORD

THE RECORD

distinctions

The permitted company image shows pearl-sugar buns. It represents the wider cinnamon-bun family; the U.S. ingredient record describes an iced version. Frozen retail buns also retain their own package specifications. [2] [3]
