Rollys is described as a small, busy spot that serves large, soft cinnamon buns with a creative lineup including classic, raspberry pistachio, Biscoff, Nutella, pear, orange and tiramisu, with many reviewers praising freshness, warmth and bold flavors, while some batches come out dry or undercooked and the original cream cheese icing can be overpowering. The experience is punctuated by long lines, limited seating and occasional delays, and utensils are sometimes missing, though staff are generally nice. Overall the buns are considered tasty and substantial and often worth the price, especially when warmed, making Rollys a noteworthy destination for cinnamon bun lovers despite the bustle and a few misfires.
Pretty solid dough just wish the classic wasn't cream cheese icing so it was more of an actual classic cinnamon bun😭 I don't understand the obsession with cream cheese, tasted more like a red velvet cake or cream cheese bagel than a cinnamon bun. I need the gooey cinnamon & the nice vanilla icing, pleaseeeeeeeeeee please please #creamcheesehate
I tried the tiramisu & the matcha raspberry flavors. The tiramisu was a 3/5-the coffee was a bit overpowering for the bun. But the raspberry pistachio was a solid 5/5!
my goodness were they slow. waited 20 mins in line for them to box 6 rolls for the people ahead of us. we ended up leaving without a roll. there are 2 girls that work there that look completely lost & are beyond slow. please hire new staff
1 good employee could take care of the place better than those 2 combined

Ok so this may or may not be a hot take, & I know everyone's opinions & taste are different. But to me this is in the top 3,if not maybe even number one of best new cinnamonbun spots in the city.
@rollys.mtl located on Ste-Catherine is truly above the rest I have to admit. I've been to 6 new cinnamonbun spot to date & this one is still stuck in my head as the top. I ate one right away & one about 6 hours later & it was just as fresh as the first one.
That & the toppings, actually tasted like what they're advertised as. So many times you get a Pistachio flavoured dessert & u swear it taste nothing like it, not here, here it's at the forefront of your palate & every bite after! They have so many fun & some even different flavours that I haven't seen any of the other places do!
Favourite for me was the Raspberry & Pistachio topped Cinnamonbun & the Apple crumble. Top top of a must try next time you guys visite. But with that being said all of the flavours from the Pear, Biscoff or even the humble strawberry, leave you wanting more & more!
FOODGASMIC 💦 CERTIFIED & I'm going back soon to pick up some more just before the holidays ❤?
Another overhyped place coz of social media. I would never line for anything so passed when I saw its empty
Big variety but no taste thick heavy bun with a cream that taste like condensed milk! Expensive. Cold service. Will close eventually.
I was reeled in by the amazing looking cinnamon rolls by the window & was equally amazed by the pleasant service i received! Thanks to this wonderful staff & most importantly thanks to Carla who was extremely helpful & friendly! 10/10

J'ai testé plusieurs saveurs (pécan, tiramisu, citron, chocolat/noisette, pomme). Le pécan était bon au début, mais ils ont changé la recette & ajouté du cream cheese - maintenant il y a presque plus de goût de pécan, grosse déception.
Les autres saveurs goûtent presque toutes la même chose : du cream cheese avec un peu de topping. Le tiramisu & le citron n'ont pas vraiment de saveur marquée.
La dernière fois, la pâte était carrément mauvaise : pas fraîche & mal cuite à l'intérieur.
En plus, l'attente est longue & mal organisée.
Franchement, qualité très inégale & pas à la hauteur du hype.
I am crestfallen at making this review honestly. I love pastries & I was especially excited about trying the viral cinnamon rolls here, finally some at Montreal! They looked soooo good too! Unfortunately, the classic cinnamon roll I got was underbaked (my friend who is a baker can attest to that since she tasted it too), it was such a disappointment. I had taken a special raspberry one, which was better too (baked well), but too sweet. I sadly expected better.
J'ai été servie par deux jeunes très professionnels & très accueillants. Je recommande rollys c'est un 5 étoiles autant pour la nourriture que le service
