Ooey Gooey Cinnamon Rolls and Cafe
In the heart of downtown Nashville, Indiana, there’s a little café where caramel drips, icing melts, and hearts flutter. Welcome to Ooey Gooey Cinnamon Rolls and Cafe, a true Hoosier Hot Spot where every bite feels like a warm hug on a chilly morning.
A Must-Visit In Nashville
Tucked along East Main Street, this cozy nook is home to the legendary Ooey Gooey Cinnamon Roll—served fresh from the oven, drenched in homemade caramel, and topped with creamy white icing. The smell alone could stop you in your tracks. Mason and Mandy, the friendly husband-and-wife duo behind the counter, fell for Nashville’s charm and took over the café in 2022, continuing the sweet tradition that’s been winning hearts (and satisfying sweet teeth) for years.

Life Altering Flavor Choices
This spot isn’t just about one roll—it’s a wonderland of nearly 20 roll flavors. From the tangy pop of Lemon-Blueberry to the campfire nostalgia of S’more, the nutty bliss of German Chocolate, and the cookie-crumb joy of Oreo, every option is a little love letter to your taste buds. And if you wander in hungry for more than sugar, you’ll find savory comfort too—fluffy biscuits and gravy, cheesy egg croissants, homemade soups, muffins, and brownies that make “just one bite” an impossible promise.
When I walked in, the S’mores roll was calling my name. It came filled with chocolate and smothered in caramel and melted marshmallows. Each bite left me wanting another and seriously considering a second roll when it was gone. It paired perfectly with my made-to-order vanilla iced latte.
A True Hometown Feel
Inside, the atmosphere is as inviting as the menu. It’s the kind of place where locals greet each other by name, visitors feel like instant regulars, and the smell of cinnamon wraps around you like a blanket. Review after review praises the friendly staff and that unmistakable small-town warmth—proof that the magic here isn’t just baked into the rolls, it’s baked into the community.
This is a Hoosier Hot Spot where sticky fingers, full stomachs, and happy hearts are guaranteed. So whether you’re a local looking for a weekend treat or a traveler strolling through Nashville’s charming streets, follow your nose (and maybe your sweet tooth) to Ooey Gooey Cinnamon Rolls & Café. One bite, and you’ll understand why love here comes with extra caramel.
