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!
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.
Rolly's is a super tiny cinnamon bun spot on St. Catherine West. Getting there was honestly a bit of a mission with all the traffic & construction in the area - I almost didn't go because of it.
When I walked in, they only had the raspberry pistachio ready. I waited for the classic, & the Biscoff came out shortly after. They have so many flavours - apple, orange, tiramisu, & more. I genuinely love the creativity behind the concept. From what I saw, everything looked beautiful.
The raspberry pistachio wasn't really my thing - I found the raspberry a bit too sour for my taste. The classic, though, was solid. The bun was soft & pillowy, served warm & fresh. The cream cheese frosting was pretty good too.
Full transparency: I'm not a huge cinnamon bun person in general, so take that into account. But from what I experienced, they're doing fresh, creative, well-made buns.
I don't know if I'll personally be back just because cinnamon buns aren't my go-to, but if you're a fan, this place is definitely worth checking out for the variety alone.
This is the Best cinnamon bun I've ever had. Bun is soft, moist, buttery with crispy carmelized bottom, perfect amount of cream cheese icing, not overly sweet.

The reviews you read are accurate, I went on a Wednesday at 130pm , the place is small, so line up happens fast. There was about 8 people in front of me & the line was going out the door as it fits about 10 people inside. The 2 employees serving the cinnamon buns had 0 urgency, they were serving people like you were the only one in the store, & no that's not a good thing. They had no hustle, no rush, no quick skills to get the line moving. They either need to have a 3rd employee serving or train there employees to add some urgency when there's a line. When I finally got served after about 30 minutes of waiting, the line was now onto the sidewalk around the building.
As for the cinnamon buns: the original is delicious, the flavored ones are so-so, we got strawberry, pistachio & lemon, the lemon was my favorite of the 3 flavors. The original is great but the cream cheese icing is a little over powering, if they made a classic cinnamon glaze without cream cheese it would probably be a 10/10!
We went as a special treat for a birthday & live 50 minutes away so it isnt something we would go to often if ever again. But its good to try if youre in the area. If they improve the service it would also be alot better!
