Brisket burger with egg, lettuce and tomato
Lori F.

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!!!

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?

Bacon egg and cheese
Amanda K.

This was an amazing cinnamon roll!! The warmth, the gooey factor, the flavors, everything. I love that they're kept in a warmer, it does wonders for it. I have no notes. I love that they have a seasonal flavor as well, which was blueberry cobbler. I'll have to come back for that, but I needed the classic first. I also got a breakfast sandwich. You can pick your cheese and the way you want your eggs. They also have some basic add ons like lettuce, tomato, chipotle mayo, etc. I thought it was good but I don't think the bun to filling ratio was perfect. I felt like there was too much bread, but it is good bread, so you can't complain much about that. The workers were super nice and made sure we were enjoying our food. I would definitely recommend and will be returning! Be aware that the inside is quite small, though. I ate inside but there's only 2-3 tables, so if you were going with a lot of people I would suggest getting takeout.

Breakfast sandwich w Pork sausage, scrambled egg & Pepper Jack cheese
Rod D.

Tucked away in a nondescript strip center smack dab in the middle of N. Raleigh is this gem. Tasty handmade breakfast sandwiches and the best dang cinnamon rolls I've found since TJ Cinnamons disappeared. They have regular and flavor of the month which often features fresh fruit. Lunch is also offered. Smaller space but plenty of seats and very clean. Fast and friendly service.

Menu part one

My gosh, they greeted me when I walked in the door. They were so nice and the place smells so good. I got their tot box that's got bacon and a fried egg cause that's what I chose over tater tots for my breakfast and then I got a four pack of their cinnamon rolls because they smelled amazing I got my tot box with pepper jack cheese, fried egg, and chose bacon, but you do have sausage and vegan sausage available here. The tots were seasoned with a savory sprinkle of spices that was delicious and they're not greasy the cinnamon rolls look fantastic, but I'm trying to be good and eat my food and save that for later. This is a definitely excellent choice for a quick freshly made breakfast. If you're on the run, they do have a few seats inside can see like 20 people and they have outside seating as well. They also have T-shirts with cute sayings. I took a picture because they have them posted on the wall. I highly recommend giving them a try.

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.

A Truly Artisanal Bakery…read more I rarely leave reviews on yelp anymore, but this bakery is so impressive, it inspired me to type this down. I'm from the Bay Area and loved going to all kinds of bakery when I travel. I did not have much expectations when I came to Raleigh. I tried Paul and Jack and couple other bakeries, they were all good, but not impressive. The first thing I noticed was their Mill Room, and second I noticed that they have 100 score on hygiene. Not that I care about the score that much but still impressive. Then We got a bunch of pastries, the shortbread was the first one we tried and wow, it was so simple yet so flavorful, truly malted tasting shortbread, it has so much depth in taste. Then I had a had a ham and cheese croissant, it was on the salty side but I kept eating it when I'm not even hungry. The true winner though, is the plain croissant I got which traveled with me for 72 hours back home. I got it out of my bag, slightly flattened by all my stuff, I expect it to taste flat and meh. I put it in the oven for 6 minutes and it turned out to be the best croissant I've had. It was flaky, soft and soo flavorful. Now I cannot stop thinking about it. Lastly, I want to say that with so many pop ups, new bakeries coming up in different cities, often times we were chasing that unique flavors, that special toppings on croissants, but Boulted Bread stayed true to bread, and perfected the craft without focusing on "exotic" or "special" flavors. I truly respect this.

The same ownership as Benchwarmer Bagels. They really know bread. I got here at almost closing…read moretime, and I wish that I had come earlier because almost everything was sold out. I got: 1. A bialy (bee-AH-lee) is a traditional Polish-Jewish bread roll, similar to a bagel but with key differences: it is baked, not boiled, has a dimpled center filled with onion bits and poppy seeds, and is generally softer and less dense. Originating in Białystok, Poland, these rolls are traditionally served plain or toasted with toppings like butter or schmear. 2. Rye shortbread. Not too sweet. Just perfection! 3. Bran biscotti. I like the idea of a high-fiber bran biscotti over a refined flour one. 4. Buchi Tepache. I got the mango-pineapple flavor. This is a local NC brand. It's a mildly fermented drink that originated in Mexico. I got the ingredients from their website (drinkbuchi.com): Organic Tibicos (Water, Organic Fair Trade Certified™* Cane Sugar, Organic Kefir Culture), Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Organic Mango Puree, Organic Pineapple Juice Concentrate, Organic Whole Lemon Puree, Organic Mango Natural Flavor, Organic Pineapple Natural Flavor, Organic Monk Fruit Extract. 5. The baguette. Unlike a refined flour white bread baguette at La Farm Bakery, this one is made of a red wheat flour. Turkey Red flour is an heirloom, organic hard red winter wheat brought to Kansas in 1873 by Mennonite immigrants. Prized for its rich, nutty flavor and superior baking qualities, it is often used for artisan bread, sourdough, and pasta due to its unique, sometimes more digestible, gluten profile. It is commonly stone-ground and available from local Kansas millers. 6. The star of the show was the Everything Croissant. Like the Everything Bagel but soft and buttery. Topped with all the sesame seeds and seasonings with a cream cheese interior. So good! I do plan on returning!

The chocolate brownie is thick and rich, but not too sweet, and the marshmallow cream is divine, especially with the ice cream. A lot of their drinks and gin based, which I'm not the biggest fan of, but I always find something I can enjoy. 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!

We were honestly a little overwhelmed by all the options, but he gave us an extremely thoughtful and knowledgeable walk-through of the menu, helped us narrow down drinks, and absolutely crushed the recommendations. The desserts were great, the drinks were even better, but Brandon was easily the highlight of our experience. He was kind, helpful, sharp, and clearly knew exactly what he was talking about. Five stars all around. We'll definitely be back.
