After months of nervous cinnamon-roll-watch, one of South Florida’s most beloved seasonal rituals is officially returning. Knaus Berry Farm has reopened for the season today, December 22—this time at a brand-new location in the Redlands, just a few miles north of its longtime Homestead home.
Yes, the cinnamon rolls are still coming. And no, they haven’t changed.
The iconic bakery, which has been drawing lines since 1956, is reopening under new ownership. The Knaus family is staying on as consultant, longtime bakery manager Thomas Blocher remains closely involved and the recipes that made the place legendary are staying exactly as they are.
Much of the physical DNA of Knaus Berry Farm will make the move, too. The original milkshake stand from the 1980s has been carefully refurbished and relocated. Some original kitchen equipment is still in use, the menu board has been recreated by the same artist who designed the first iteration of it and even the workflow has been preserved to keep things tasting (and feeling) the same.
There are a few practical upgrades that longtime fans will likely welcome: more parking, actual bathrooms, shade for the famously patient line, credit card payments and Sunday hours (it’s now closed on Mondays instead). The ovens have also been upgraded to better keep up with demand, which, if history is any indicator, will be relentless.
Prices are still historically low, which feels miraculous for 2025: cinnamon rolls are still $1.45 each ($8.90 for a half-dozen), milkshakes run $6.60 for a small and $8 for a large and cakes and cheesecakes clock in around $12–$13.
The farm will continue selling locally grown produce from area partners, including Sam S. Accursio & Sons Farms. (Regulars, take note: u-pick strawberries won’t be available this year due to the timing of the move, but plans are in place for their return next season.)
The farm officially opens today, December 22, and will be closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
