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.
The cinnamon rolls are generally very good in both taste & quality, & the service is commendable. However, the bakery may benefit from improving their baking schedule to ensure that all flavors remain available throughout the day, as several options tend to be out of stock by the evening.

I struggle to rate this place because I'm not sure what its main product is trying to be. I tried 4 flavours but ultimately they all tasted like lesser versions of other pastries that exist, & as cinnamon rolls they just barely hold the title. Is it a fun concept? Sure, in theory, if you're a fan of very wet (beyond moist) overloaded pastries. & you have to be a fan because you're likely going to wait in line to get them.
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.
It's ok. I was really excited to get a cinnamon roll but they didn't have the traditional ones left. So I got an apple one & a pecan. They are ok but both taste like cream cheese. Overall it was 19$ for 2 cinnamon rolls & the taste was a bit disappointing for me. But not bad either. & it was Saturday at 6pm so I didn't understand why they only had 2 flavours left… long wait time…

It tasted good but I was surprised that it was served cold. I double checked the opening hours & I actually got there right as it opened so I'm confused how it could be served cold. Also there are no knives at the location so it's kind of messy to eat with just a fork. I'd like to be able to cut it into smaller pieces. I wouldn't really go back, there are other cinnamon roll spots that opened up in town which might be better.
