I was greeted with a pleasant smile and voice from a friendly employee. I felt like I was in a bakers paradise. The aroma had my mouth watering. I wanted to order everything but I only ordered 2 cinnamon rolls. I dipped and spread the icing on my large cinnamon rolls, they were delicious. They were a soft and fresh. There is a sitting area where you can eat and enjoy your dessert. The environment was very welcoming. read more

Tasty rolls and friendly service!!! I visited Whole-ly Rollers recently and had a very good experience. The rolls were fresh, flavorful, and nicely presented. There's a good variety on the menu, and everything I tried was well made. The staff was welcoming and attentive, making the visit enjoyable. The space is casual and comfortable, though it can get a bit crowded during peak hours. Overall, Whole-ly Rollers is a solid spot for a quick and tasty meal. I'd definitely come back and recommend it to friends!!! read more

I had a wonderful time at Whole-ly Rollers. The baker that attended me was the sweetest and kindest. Place is beautiful and clean. I just came after the cinnamon rolls rush so I'll have to catch them next time. But I did walk out with 3 chocolate chip cookies and 2 oatmeal cookies. Best I've ever had! Soft, chocolate was meaty, yumminess! Location is conveniently across from Chesapeake Hospital. I found parking easily. The pies look good too, I saw southern pecan pie. The rolls looked and smelled amazing! I plan to go back! read more

It is a small bakery with a small selection. What they do have is done very well though so I would say it's quality over quantity. I tried the cinnamon rolls and yeast rolls and both were delightful! They were fresh baked and delicious. Can't wait to try the 7-up pound cake and pies in the future! read more

This place is like a grandmother's hug. Really great no frills homemade baked goods. The sweet potato pie is delicious. I ate the whole pie with my husband. Just perfection. The yeast rolls were hit with my kids at dinner. They were out of the 7up pound cake. I will try that at a later date. Last, the service is a 10! read more

Taking a walk on a covid work lunch break is good but one on the way to Whole-ly Rollers bakery is great! Locally owned SWAM business steeped in faith and sweet carb goodness. They're best known for their dinner rolls and cinnamon buns made from same dough recipe. I've said it before and I'll say it again: legit bakeries are my happy place. Love the yeast infused aroma along with browsing glass cases full of artisan goodies. Covid precautions limit full shop entry which thwarts browsing but chatting with owner, Mrs Brenda, is super for your soul, though she's understandably reserved from a ton of convo in the pandemic climate. She's born/raised in GB and is record holder for hs girl's b-ball career points scored. Selection was semi-depleted (a good thing for business) but I managed to score 2 cinnamon buns ($5), 6 "small" cookies ($3), and 2 brownies ($5). Buns were very good, though I probably prefer Bee & the Biscuit's better. Icing on the side was a nice touch. My kids and I enjoyed the soft, fresh baked chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin varieties. Crispy cookie people may complain (we can't be friends, j/k). Fyi, they're probably 3-4" in diameter, definitely bigger than chips 'ahoy. Brownies were large, big enough to cut into 6 total good sized pieces for my entire clan to sample and enjoy. Soft, moist and cake like. Though pretty good, I wouldn't make a special trip just for these. Ghiradelli box from Costco is on par quality-wise and significantly cheaper. All in all, another local bakery I look forward to visiting more in the near future! read more

Excellent cinnamon rolls and customer service with a smile first thing in the morning!

OMG... Carb heaven! Only going for the cinnamon roll, I whined up getting 1 dozen of the rolls, 7 up cake, cookies, and that cinnamon roll!! The yeast roll is so soft and fresh with a little sweetness. And if you don't watch it you will find yourself eating the whole bag before you get home. 7-up pound cake - I could of sworn my auntie said she invented that recipe but at 5 years old you believe in anything! But this cake was soooo good! Just like what I remembered my aunts homemade cake. Cinnamon roll - is a yeasty kind, for me similar to how the rolls are but with cinnamon on it. The icing is separate which was cool for me because it helped to control the amount you want like that helps any when your eating bad SMH. You can't go wrong with this bakery. read more

I've been here many years ago when it was still brand new. Our neighbors were telling me how good their dinner rolls and cinnamon buns are, so on a Saturday afternoon I stopped by to check out what they had. The smell alone that hits your nose would knock you off your feet! As I walked around the corner to the bakery case I saw the cinnamon buns! They looked amazing! I bought 3 of them for $7. They had plenty of other goodies such as 7-up cake, brownies, coconut custard and cookies. The cinnamon rolls were amazing! They were perfectly made. It didn't have any icing on top, which in hindsight is a good idea. It really didn't need it. Side note: Evidently they make cupcakes as well but only as a preorder. I was Yelping a bakery for cupcakes for my son's birthday and it came up as the address to this bakery. I noticed a sign on the window when I came in today. I'd love to try their cupcakes as well. Great bakery. Very friendly employees. Can't wait to come back!! read more

Loving the vibe in here. Well I didn't try the all the rave about yeast rolls. I thought I ordered a pack... Well I tried the coconut custard pie and the assortment of cookies. The coconut custard pie was not good at all. I could taste what I think was canned milk... no bueno. And the cost was crazy high! Now the cookies, all three of them were delicious. I loved the vibe and energy in the room. Everyone seemed excited about the grand opening. I haven't returned, but I do plan on giving them another try. On this day the sweet potato pies sold out and there was at least a 45 minute wait for more. They gladly accept cash or credit cards. I am unsure if any other payment methods are accepted. The shop is located in a Farmer's Market, therefore parking is limited. But I'd recommend you give this place a try. There are other shops inside of this shop unless they were only present for the grand opening. Nevertheless, there is another bakery in the Chesapeake area. Have fun and enjoy life :) read more

I have probably driven by this place a thousand times and finally made my way to stopping in yesterday! This small shop is evidently full of love when you walk in. Both the shop and the baked goods give off those feel-good homemade vibes. When I was there, they had two cookie flavors, two mini pie flavors, along with cupcakes (made elsewhere, but with many flavor options), cake, cinnamon buns, and fresh rolls. My grandpa and I went all out and bought a bunch of things to try, and to share. Those fresh rolls were wonderful, and I also loved that the lady helping us let us choose between lighter or darker. She was extra helpful and cheery the whole time she helped us. I also tried their 7-Up cake (made with the soda) and it was gone before I could have a full slice! They sell the cupcakes in twos, and the cake in large chunks. I didn't get a chance to try the pies or cupcakes we bought, but everything seemed like a hit. To me, this is the kind of place you want to make the pie you bring to a gathering (if you aren't the type to make it yourself of course) and ideal for satisfying a sweet tooth with something worth the extra calories. Stop in and give them a try! read more

Everything about the food is amazing and delicious ‼ The rolls, chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies are soo delicious!! Hats off to Brenda and company ‼ read more

First, I just want to say congratulations on the opening of your second location in Norfolk! (Church Street guys, go visit!) and allowing some of my coworkers to welcome you and try some amazing goodies. Second of all, everything that I tried from Whole-ly Rollers was absolutely amazing, and I'm going to need to take my own trip down to Church Street and see how everything looks like. The cookies are just amazing. We all tried to share pieces of two whole cookies... We should have gotten more honestly. Definitely amazing. The apple pie that I tried was ridiculously amazing, and totally satisfied my cravings for apple pie without making me completely full! I highly, HIGHLY recommend going to check out both of their locations, whichever is more convenient for you. I'm close-ish to both, so I'll have to check out both. Awesome job! read more

Early Saturday morning Mr Wonderful dragged me out to pick up his car that was repairs and sitting at the dealer. Driving on 64S near Indian river exit I spied with my lil eye, a white work van with the company logo..ROLLS!! I quickly Google them and find they are located just too convenient for me. I drop him off, run to MP ISLAND grocery for my dried sorrell, and hightail it to WHOLLY ROLLERS. I took notice that they close at 3p, for heaven sake I only had 5 hrs to get there!!! Immediately I'm greeted with a cheery hello, and omg the scents of fresh baked rolls, pound cakes, cookies and cinnamon rolls. Bread pudding was still in the oven baking and I will be back to purchase one very very soon. The rolls accompanied us to a friends house for dinner and they were a big hit. With the homemade meal. The yeast rolls were gently warmed in the oven for 10 minutes ,just enough time to warm them and and allow real butter to melt thru. They are brushed with sweet cream butter so you really dont even need anything additional. The cinnamon rolls we enjoyed with coffee they were fresh and just the right cinnamon, icing on the side was excellent also so that I can control the amount of sugar I intake. For the remainder of the roll I chose not to use it and still totally enjoyed my cinnamon roll breakfast. My next trip will include a bread pudding. This place is a must go, read more

I stopped in a few weeks ago and the baker was super sweet. Sweeter than her fine pastries. I purchased a sweet potato pie, cinnamon bun, and blueberry muffin. All three items were so delicious. I'm not a fan of cinnamon buns but my sister wanted one and I ended up devouring it. The glaze was so delicious. Definitely recommend. We devoured the pie in a day. Don't judge me! read more

We got the cinnamon buns and fresh rolls!! Wow! So delicious! The manager was so friendly and let us know of all of her special treats! We will definitely be back to try the bread pudding! read more

Go early & get the rolls! These yeast rolls are mouth watering and go great with dinner or by themselves! You won't regret it!

We got the cinnamon rolls the other day and they were outstanding. Highly recommend. Can't wait to try the rolls next.

The products that are in the case are delicious. I wouldn't recommend pre-ordering for your special occasion. I visited them for the FIRST time on 8/22. I placed a order that was to be picked up on 8/24. I rode almost 30 miles to be told that they forgot part of my order which was an Apple pie. I forgave that because I realize that accidents do happen. I placed another order for for two dozen pepperoni rolls and 6 cinnamon raisin bunson 8/28 that was to be picked up on 8/30. I called to check on my order at 12 noon. I was told that again part of my order was not ready because it was not entered on their log properly by their staff. I went to pick up the two dozens of pepperoni rolls. When I got there was only one dozen prepared. The guy stated that he could have it ready in 5 minutes. Two mistakes back to back. Nothing was offered for my inconvenience. The only response I was given was "It seems that something always happens". I feel that is unacceptable for an OWNER because she NEVER APOLOGIZED. I am done with them. read more

My husband took me to theWHOLE-LY ROLLER's Bakery on yesterday....OMG... this is the BEST bakery in 757!! I consider myself a pound cake connoisseur..... this is the best pound cake, that I've ever had in my life!!.. and I have had a lot of pound cake in my life (growing up in south) This pound cake was out of this world ....The Pound cake should have been called Holy Moly pound cake!!! Come Tuesday, I will be ordering a whole pound cake. The coconut pie was amazing... reminds me of my mom and grandmother coconut pie. Cannot wait to ship my sister a coconut pie in Ohio.. she loves coconut pie. We also bought a dozen of the yeast rolls , which was delicious with my morning coffee. Thanks to Fred ! For introducing my husband to this wonderful Bakery! I wish, I could give this Bakery 10 stars for being so darn delicious.. And the customer service, we receive on yesterday was stellar!!! THANK YOU WHOLE-LY ROLLERS for delicious homemade baked goods!! read more

Read an article in the newspaper describing how great the dinner rolls are so I had to stop by and check it out. The woman helping us didn't know about the article but was pleasantly surprised. The rolls were very reasonable at $4 for a dozen. They were incredibly light and sweet, well worth the cost. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the area. read more

Sweet potato pie. Oh my tastiness. The crust is good, the filling is amazing. I'm usually a pumpkin pie girl, not today. Go get one. The lady's are so kind and welcoming. I pre ordered some rolls for Thanksgiving, they offered me a sample right out of the oven. Yum. read more

Whole-ly Rollers - Bakeries Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

So one of my coworkers comes in talking about this Whole-ly Rollers place way out on Battlefield, and how good it was. I wasn't too pressed about driving out that far from the Beach, but (being an Uber and Lyft driver) I said if I was in the area, I'll stop by. Saturday was that day. Now, I didn't even get to the door when this lady yelled out: "You going in to get that pie"? I said "Yes Ma'am". She said, "I'm gonna have to pray over mine". That hit a red flag at first. I asked "Why is that?" She said "so I don't get fat after I kill this ENTIRE pie the second I get home!" Okay then...flags down and ready to do this! I walked in to the pleasant aroma of freshly baked bread. It smelled so good my stomach started growling. I ordered some bread, 3 little sweet potato pies and the 3 pack cinnamon rolls for the family and headed home. Let me say I was instantly mad that I did not order that full sweet potato pie! You don't understand how good that pie was! I know what that lady was talking about. And the sweet rolls and cinnamon buns...we killed everything! I was ready to head back out there to get another pie, but the closed at 3. BIG MAD! They lose a star for that (yeah, that would have made it a 6-star review...I can count...LOL). Make no mistake about it, there is no stopping me from going back. They close at 6pm Tuesday thru Friday. I'll meet you there! read more

Customer service is lacking. You call and no one answers the phone. You go there and there is no cake or pies ready and they just opened up about an hour ago or they tell you to come back later. Why drive back and forth to an establishment for something you can get elsewhere. Yes their cakes and pies are very good but this driving back and forth is unexceptable. As a bakery your bakery items on your menu should be available when your door opens in the morning. If you need more help I highly suggest that you hire some bakers or you are going to lose customers. I am one customer whom you have losted. I hope that you can turn your customer relations and service around real soon. Sad customer!! read more

The sweet potato pie was crazy good!! I mean that down south old fashion way back in the day homemade taste. I couldn't stop eating the pie, it buttery, just enough sweetness, melt in your mouth crust was off the chain. My only Yelp is the customer service needs improvement. Will I go back again? Yes. Will I recommend this bakery to others? Yes. read more

I don't know where to start! The two women working were so kind and man are they talented bakers. The best sweet potato pie I have had- the texture was perfect and the flavor was dreamy. The rolls...we all jumped at dinner for them. My daughter held one aside to make sure her siblings didn't steal an extra ;-) they are sweet, fresh, soft and delicious. The cookies were so great I ate one as I was in the shop. I have another pie on order and have heard the cinnamon rolls are awesome! I'm excited I found this bakery! read more

OMG.....Everything that I have eaten from the Church Street location is amazingly great!!! I keep going back for the coconut pies. My 5 year old loves the rolls. The only thing I haven't tried is the fruit cake (only because I don't eat fruit cakes). I might try them one day. They look appetizing. I live closer to the Church Street location. I've recently stopped going so frequently only because I was picking up pounds, lol. read more

I'm a foodie and a fattie, so when I heard there was sweet potato pie available in June, I was excited. I purchased a whole pie (I don't think they sell slices). I really love sweet potato pie and this was a good one. Was it the best I ever had, no. But it is certainly worth buying and trying. I'd certainly go again if I'm in the area. read more

If you've never had yeast rolls well, you're in for a treat. The first time I came across these was at the Old Beach Farmer's Market and each bag of deliciousness was $5.25. By the time my toddler and I got home, we went through half of the bag. It's like crack. Seriously. Yeasty, soft and just oh so delicious! I tried to replicate it but never could come close. The lady/owner is very nice as well :). Support local businesses! read more

Prices are good too!!!!! Yummmmyyyy!!!! read more

Whole-ly Rollers - Yummmmy!!! Pound cake! - Bakeries Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I have gotten things from this establishment before and they were pretty good. But, where I draw the line is good customer service. On each occasion owner was rude and gave me no eye contact when I picked up my blueberry muffins and next time, the lemon pound cake. I thought that maybe she was just having a bad day, but it was both times. I believe that good food and good customer service is synonymous, and it's not with this place. I won't be going back!! read more

If you're a bakery connoisseur like myself you need to go here. These guys have the lightest, most moist yeast dough I've ever had. They're known for their rolls but they also use it for their cinnamon rolls, which are literally the best I've ever had. The pound cake is also ridiculously good. If my taste buds were destroyed in a fire I would still return to this place for the people. You find warmer, friendlier customer service. I can't recommend enough! read more

Delicious, sweet smells wafting through the air.... my oh my, is there a bakery nearby? Yes, yes, yes! I had no idea Whole-ly Rollers was in my neck of the woods! How exciting! I left home to go thrifting with my daughter. We decided to go to CHKD thrift store first. After getting some great finds, we pulled out of the parking lot and sat at the corner near the bridge waiting for traffic to slow down. As we sat there, we both smelled something sweet... was it bread??? I decided to back up and pull into the parking lot. We both glanced and immediately saw the bakery sign. As we approached the store, I noticed exactly where we were. I remember this wonderful place from The Farmers Market in Norfolk. I was so happy to see that this business is so close to home. When we entered the building, we were greeted by Pastor.... oh my I can't remember her name. My apologies. I never forget a face, but I am horrible with remembering names. Well, anyway, we were greeted with a smile and the person who greeted us introduced herself to us as Pastor ____. My daughter and I introduced ourselves and she complimented my daughter on her name which meant so much because my daughter had made some complaints about how boring her name is. I expressed this and the woman provided my daughter with the most positive words of encouragement. I truly appreciated her for doing that. Moving along.... after drooling over the yummy goodness available in the shop, and listening to Pastor ___ provide details about the products and offer suggestions, we decided to go with the cinnamon buns for my kids, brownies for myself and my friend, and a dozen yeast rolls for the house. I cannot begin to tell you how amazingly delicious everything tasted. The cinnamon buns... I didn't buy this for myself but I had a taste of my daughter's... these buns were so soft and chewy. The icing was perfectly sweet and light. It melted in my mouth! The brownies.... my goodness, the brownies! I should have stopped by the grocers and picked up some ice cream to go along with it. It was moist, chewy, and chocolaty. I absolutely loved it. I had a couple of the yeast rolls along with my vegetarian lasagna dinner. The yeast rolls are soft, sweet, light, and fluffy. I only ate two, but I could have easily eaten more. I wanted everyone in the house to be able to have a couple of those rolls and sure enough when they did, they asked for more. Next time, I'll get two dozen instead. This is a wonderful, little bakery with an amazingly friendly staff. I'm anxious to try those cookies, too. They looked scrumptious! read more

I found this spot on Yelp after searching for a bakery to bring my clients some delicious treats for a morning meeting. Attention Chesapeake this place is a treasure not to be missed. From the moment you step In the door the smell will sweep you off your feet. Nothing fancy but old fashion delicious treats baked with love. The recipes were passed on by the owners grandmother. Her beautiful picture adorned the counter as you place your order. Let your mind go back in time. This place brought back memories of my childhood and family and I walked out not only with delicious cinnamon buns,brownies,cookies , and pineapple bread pudding but overall feel good feeling that set the tone of my day. I didn't realize I left a bag behind and to my surprise the owner hopped in her car and brought it to my meeting. Now that's service not found much anymore. Please support this small business that are becoming rare in our fast paced impersonal wold we live in You won't be disappointed. read more
