Raleigh's Best award
Nikki C.

Morning Rolls serves breakfast sandwiches on fresh made bread. I ordered the bacon, egg and cheese which turned out to taste amazing. Service was quick and courteous. The inside of Morning Rolls is small, maybe 10 people at any given time are able to eat indoors.

Cinnamon roll
Emily C.

I stopped in and got a traditional cinnamon roll. The person helping me at the counter was really nice! When I got home I heated the cinnamon roll up and it was pretty good. I liked that it wasn't drowning in icing but still has a generous amount. Decent size for the price too!

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!!!

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.

Cinnamon roll

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.

Classic
Gab G.

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

Had to wait a long time for a dry cinnamon roll. Not very impressed but maybe they were having an off day.

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.

It has a specific coffee bar with all types of various coffees…read more You coffee lovers will not be disappointed In addition, it has a full bar with all types of elixirs. The food is absolutely amazing with crêpes ranging from sweet to breakfast to savory and of course moore hardy varieties. Avocado toast is fantastic by itself. It's a full meal all by itself and I could barely finish it all. Needless to say, the portions are hardy, and are big enough to share. Their service is fantastic very attentive without being invasive and they let you hang out for as long as you want. Located in the hart of downtown Raleigh parking is not difficult, but you may have to walk a few blocks to get here.

The shakshouka crepe was disappointing because while it had good flavor did not have the taste of shakshouka. No rich tomato flavors, cumin, or paprika. It was overwhelmed by the veggies places in it. The sauce was too little to balance out. Unfortunately because of those reasons it tasted pretty bland. Honestly, I would have gotten something different if I knew it was not really shakshouka. Service was good and they checked on us a few times to make sure everything was good. It has a nice interior and patio.

This morning, I walked in and saw not one familiar face there, and I've come to learn all the staff walked out simultaneously weeks ago. After getting to know many of the staff over the years of frequenting there, anything to make every staff member walk out at the same time has to be big enough to leave a sour taste in your mouth. Am truly sad to see such a Raleigh staple not see the value in the community their staff created. Cheers to Joe, Brennan, Brett, amber, and all of the others past a present (shout out Tim and Casey and Jackie!) for their place in our lives over all of these years! If you are looking for a coffee nearby, jubala (pendo), black & white (videri), heirloom are all great options (and sir Walter coffee and 42 & Lawrence are decent and close)

Two days in a row I've gone to layered croissant. The layers are on point and it was fascinating to…read morewatch the bakers use a machine to roll out the layers. I tried the passionfruit mango cruffin and the brown butter crookie. Both were spot on with their flavors. The passionfruit cream was especially noteworthy for being packed with flavor and yet not too sweet. The layers of pasty were perfection. There's one spot to order, though they do a brisk takeout business. Once ordered, items come out quickly. There is some seating, and if you order to stay, then they'll bring your items to the table. The vibe is bright and semi industrial with some pastel colors to soften it up. I love the bright windows, even if you're just looking out on the car's parked right outside!

Also loved the filling in the financier, and the brown butter cookie was top notch. Cruffin was another highlight. Iced coffee was alright. Will get the iced purple matcha next time. This bakery is definitely born from the Dominique Ansel/Supermoon Bakehouse era, and they are executing very well. (I've had some baaaad knockoff cruffins/cronuts/croissant hybrids, but this place is killing it.)
