    Classic Cinnamon Rolls
    Courtnay B.

    Finally made the trip to try their classic cinnamon rolls and they were solid. The rolls were great value - $14 for 4 rolls. The icing is thinner than most and kinda cracks off the roll. The roll is gooey and dense. Each roll feels like it weighs a pound! Service was fast and friendly.

    The first time we walked in after seeing TikTok video, the place is on the small side more for to-go. They do have 2 tables and a few higher barstool chairs at a table by the window. First time we tried the brisket burger which you get your choice of egg (fried or scrambled) and choice of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, pepper jack, or pimento and you can also choose toppings, lettuce, tomato, onions, bacon, avocado, mayo, chipotle mayo and of course extra cheeses. We got the brisket burger mine wit mayo lettuce and tomato.. plus tater tots. We also always order a cinnamon roll as well. They do have monthly flavors. I have had the caramel Apple, rum raisin, orange cranberry and regular, so far the cinnamon raisin has been my absolute favorite. I have also tried the cinna-rocks which are bite sized cinnamon roll chunks, they also have cinnamon rolls you can take home and bake in packs of 6. We took 3 packs on a trip recently. You let them rise and bake them according to the instructions on the top and they give you 2 containers of icing! They were amazing!!!

    This might be the worst cinnamon bun in the world I've ever had. It needs more cinnamon more icing. The icing crumbles. The texture is not smooth. Ambience is zero. Service, regular. I do not recommend.

    Unassuming little spot that's dedicated to cinnamon rolls. I tried the classic cinnamon roll, which was amazing, and the seasonal (blackberry cobbler) cinnamon roll, which was also fantastic. Service was very friendly and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. Will have to try the breakfast sandwiches next time!

    My daughter and I have been on the hunt to try new places to eat. We had just finished a 3 mile hike around Shelley Lake Park not too far away, and our first 2 choices had really long waits. So we found this cute little place to check out. There's indoor and outdoor seating. It's a small place at the end of a block of stores in a shopping center with lots of businesses. We were greeted by the staff as soon as we walked in the door. It smells so good in there. The young lady who waited on us at the register was awesome. She had great suggestions and was so passionate about the food. It's a small menu, but great selections. We both ordered the sausage, egg and cheese sandwich. All sandwiches are served on a Hawaiian Roll, which is so exciting. You can pick how you want your egg, type of cheese and add to your sandwich however you want. We of course ordered the cinnamon rolls. She ordered the original and I ordered the special roll of the month, dark chocolate pretzel. Everything was so delicious and so fresh. I brought a jar of Midwest Red jam to add to my sandwich, and yummy!! I highly recommend this cute little place for breakfast or lunch!! They also have burgers and other sandwiches.

    Such a kind staff love how they have many flavors and simple options delicious delight with delicious breakfast sandwiches. Definitely I will be back

    This will be our new favorite go-to breakfast place! It's quick and casual and delicious as well as dog friendly (they gave a dog biscuit and provide a dog water dish outside). These sandwiches are MASSIVE and delicious. The buns are like kings Hawaiian rolls. Get the sausage, egg, and cheese morning roll sandwich with scrambled egg. You won't regret it! Super good. The scrambled sandwiches are also tastier than the fried egg. Great seasoned tater tots as well. My husband got the country ham, egg, and cheese sandwich with a fried egg. The country ham is a bit too salty and the fried egg is a little well done but overall good. Definitely coming back and highly recommend! My husband said their cinnamon roll was the best cinnamon roll he's ever had in the US. It's not gooey and sticky like most cinnamon rolls out there but they definitely warmed it up and it was still nice.

    Whiskey, pecan roll and coffee about seven bucks total
    David T.

    Simple menu. Great food! Small little place that specializes in its cinnamon rolls. They also have breakfast sandwiches and burgers. I did not try them but they seem very reasonably priced. I think they have tater tots all day for a $1.50 Paid a little extra for the seasonal roll, a whiskey caramel pecan. It was not the traditional white icing and cinnamon, but the sauce was excellent. The whiskey flavor really came out. I want to say it was of the Jameson's variety but I may be wrong. Coffee was one size for $2.50. it was a large enough cup and it was self-serve. I got there around 10:45 and the coffee was ludicrously hot. My cynical brain thinks it was kept that hot so it's too hot for me to gulp down and get a refill Staff is super friendly. I'm sure I'm over explaining, but imagine a mom and pop cinnabon that serves some real food besides just the cinnamon rolls. That's great! Because a few people could get burgers or sandwiches and then split the cinnamon roll for dessert. I over heard a staff telling another customer that tomorrow's special will be a pineapple sauce of some sort. Sadly I won't be here to try it out

    I don't want anybody else finding out about this place. Please, please do not read this review. Note to Baker: OMG. Please please please do NOT change a thing. I want to camp outside of your doors from dawn to 2pm and just revel in the gloriousness of the most perfect cinnamon roll I have found to date. You rival one one other in my humble opinion...and you'd have to drive all the way to Arizona...I digress. Perfect. Perfect cinnamon to sweet frosting balance. Perfect dough... a tiny bit gooey in the epicenter for those who like that (me, not so much...but it is not a complaint, just a preference). Buy a pack of four and take to the car warm sitting on your lap and there is no better way to feel LOVED all through the day. I am not kidding. Nope. I'm not. Is there anything else on the menu? Oh I do not know, I do not care. I am not going to break that cinnamon roll magic. EVER. I fully anticipate the need to join a gym in my near future.

    The cinnamon rolls are definitely the go to here. I'd get the take home pack and bake my own as they were delicious. Morning Rolls makes seasonal rolls with different flavors. I think they told me the next seasonal one is peach. The chicken salad needed something...more salt? A little more kick and it would've been great. The staff were friendly. That day their card machine was done so fortunately I had Offline Raleigh to use (and pay). I'm just not quite sure what the overall "theme" was to the place. Dessert rolls? Brunch?

    Ask the Community - Morning Rolls

    Is the food served in styrofoam containers? It appears so from the photos.

    Not styrofoam. They are paper.

    Are there vegan options?

    We have a plant based sausage and chicken patty. We don't offer a vegan option for cinnamon rolls though

    Is the cinnamon roll frosting cream cheese or buttercream based?

    Hi. Thank you for asking. It is closer to a butter cream type frosting but thinner. More like an icing or glaze.

If you live in Raleigh, you've heard people rave about Boulted Bread - from their titular bread to their morning bun to their croissants, they have everything a carb connoisseur could desire. I visited with a friend on a Tuesday morning (they currently are not open on Mondays) and it was busy. I ordered their seasonal fig leaf latte, the morning bun, chocolate croissant, and a tartine that was kind of like a pizza on a piece of bread. The latte was delicious - it has brown sugar in it, which was perfect as the iced version. The morning bun was delightful - probably my second favorite morning bun/cinnamon roll in Raleigh. The chocolate croissant was filled with chocolate ganache - which I was not expecting - it was messy but also very good. Lastly, the tarine, which like I mentioned, was kind of like a pizza on a piece of toast - it had cheese tomato sauce - simple and savory and tasty. Overall, I felt Boulted Bread lives up to the hype. A Raleigh classic that is a perfect stop for a morning treat.

My tip is to walk over to the Platform apartments and sit in the common areas under there. The biale was a little hard, maybe because it was early afternoon. But morning bun was good. They had sold out a fair amount of the pastries by 2, but still had lots of morning buns. The light in the building is very nice. Good place to get a treat!

The service is great and relatively quick, and everyone I've met there is kind and willing to help. The inside is a bit small, so smaller crowds are better and it does tend to get crowded later in the evening and on weekends. The outside street sitting area is nice too and hopefully will be fully fixed soon. Overall a great places to stop for drinks and desserts after a nice meal! And the menu rotates seasonally so you'll always have the chance to try something new!

Fun fact: the owner named the Patisserie by combining his two daughter's middle names. When you walk in you'll feel like you've been transported to Brooklyn with a touch of Parisian elegance mixed with downtown industrial vibes. To order you'll walk up to the counter and place your order. Once your order is placed you'll grab a seat wherever there is an open table. For coffee I ordered the vanilla latte and my partner ordered the iced caramel latte. The vanilla had a nice balance of flavor and the ceramic cup was a nice touch. For pastries my partner ordered the cookie and the ham & cheese croissant. Both were excellent, with the cookie being more of a shortbread cookie with dark chocolate and the croissant having great flavor and plenty of ham and cheese. I ordered the Nun'Ya Biscuit which was like nothing I've ever ordered before. It was a biscuit seasoned with smoked cheddar cheese, breakfast sausage, scallions, and complete with sausage gravy inside the biscuit.
