Many guests say it’s the sticky bun that seals the deal at Yaks on the 5. With lines often forming just for dessert, these gooey buns are more than just sweet—they’re legendary.

What Makes Them Famous

Yaks reportedly bakes up to 3,000 sticky buns per month, each a delicate swirl drenched in caramel sauce, butter, bourbon, or Baileys flavor—formed from scratch every morning.
Some social media fans even order only sticky buns to go, skipping the burger line entirely.

Tasting Notes & Pairings

Warm, buttery, sweet with tangy caramel, sticky buns complement strong coffee, cold craft beer or a creamy soda. Paired with lavender ketchup fries or as a post-burger treat, they make an unforgettable combo.
Travel blogs consistently highlight sticky buns as one of Yaks’s top attractions.

Community Praise

Reviewers frequently call them the must-try dessert off I‑5 between Redding and Mt. Shasta. One recent review said: “flavorful sticky buns…and crispy fries that perfectly complement the main dishes”.
