One bakery on this list is named after a pound, and the owner’s last name happens to be Pound. I love that detail way more than I should.
That joke sets the tone for the whole list. These rolls get described as big enough to share with a table full of kids.
One spot even sells them through a drive-thru window, which feels both brilliant and a little dangerous.
Ohio has a serious habit of supersizing its sweets. Amish country bakeries, a garage turned cafe, and a downtown shop with a famously stubborn sweet tooth all show up here.
Some are tiny. Some come with rocking chairs and a buffet.
I can’t think of a better excuse for a road trip. So how big is too big for a breakfast pastry?
I suspect the answer is never.
1. Miller’s Bakery
Backroads lead to the best breakfasts, and this one hides along a township highway in Holmes County. Miller’s Bakery is an Amish-run shop in the heart of Ohio’s Amish country.
The rural setting is part of the charm. You’ll pass farm country on the way, which makes the payoff taste even sweeter.
Cinnamon rolls rank among the stars here, and they’re hefty. The honey bun style iced roll can easily match the size of your hand.
Don’t stop at one pastry, though. Apple fritters are another big favorite, and the cheese tarts deserve a spot in your box.
The shelves go well beyond sweets too. You can grab wheat bread, noodles, pies, rolls, and canned goods for the pantry back home.
Cookies here come huge as well. Clearly, small portions aren’t part of the house style.
Plan your timing smartly. The bakery opens Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and stays closed on Sundays.
Saturday mornings tend to be the busiest stretch. If you want a calmer stop, try a weekday morning earlier in the week.
Keep in mind this is a takeout spot with no dine-in seating. Bring a sturdy box, a few napkins, and maybe a cooler for the bread.
Coffee is available, which helps with the drive. A free parking lot makes the quick visit easy.
Think of it as a pantry run disguised as a treat. Your car will smell amazing for hours afterward.
Address: 4250 Township Hwy 356, Millersburg, OH 44654
2. Hershberger’s Farm and Bakery
Goats, kettle corn, and a cinnamon roll the size of a saucer make a pretty great morning. You’ll find that combo at this countryside farm market on OH-557.
The bakery turns out Amish baked goods made fresh on-site. Cinnamon rolls and donuts both come in humongous sizes.
Pies and fry pies fill out the sweet side nicely. Fresh fruit and seasonal produce sit nearby for a little balance.
Here’s a bonus kids will love. A petting zoo sits right on the property, so the visit turns into an outing.
Out front, kettle corn gets made fresh outside. The smell alone could pull you in from the road.
At the registers, look for the frozen peach drink. It’s an easy grab while you pay for your box of rolls.
Need more than dessert? Sandwiches, ice cream, milk, and canned goods are all part of the lineup.
A gift shop and crafts add one more reason to wander. Restrooms are on-site, which matters on a long Amish country drive.
Hours run Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The farm stays closed on Sundays.
Saturdays get the busiest, from morning into afternoon. Weekday mornings usually feel more relaxed.
Prices stay reasonable, so stocking up won’t sting much. Just leave room in the car for that kettle corn bag.
Address: 5452 OH-557, Millersburg, OH 44654
3. Rolls By The Pound – Coffee and Treats
A bakery name rarely doubles as a family joke, but this one pulls it off. The “Pound” nods to the owner’s last name, and the rolls live up to the title.
This family-owned shop in Newark serves signature cinnamon rolls that come out huge. They’re made fresh daily, so timing your visit pays off.
Sticky pecan rolls make a strong case for a second order. Muffins, long johns, and no-bake cookies also show up in the case.
Then there’s the massive oatmeal cream pie. It might be the sneakiest pick on the menu.
Coffee and lattes round out the lineup nicely. A big roll needs a big cup, after all.
Best part for busy mornings? There’s a drive-thru, so giant pastries can come straight through your car window.
Prefer to sit? Seating is available inside, and the mood stays casual and quiet.
The staff have a reputation for being kind and friendly. That makes an early stop feel a lot more pleasant.
Hours are short, so plan ahead. The shop opens Tuesday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturday until noon.
It’s closed Sunday and Monday. Showing up early is smart if you want the full selection.
Families will feel welcome, with high chairs on hand. Prices stay friendly too, which makes a dozen tempting.
Address: 597 Country Club Dr, Newark, OH 43055
4. Simply Cinnamon
When cinnamon is literally in the name, expectations run high. This little Bolivar shop answers with rolls big enough for a parent and two kids to share.
Simply Cinnamon sits in a small historic village in northern Tuscarawas County. It works as a bakery, coffee shop, and deli all at once.
The signature cinnamon rolls are baked fresh daily and come enormous. Soft cookies are the other big draw here.
Hungry for something savory? Build-your-own breakfast sandwiches come on croissants with fresh eggs.
Fresh sandwiches also hold down the lunch crowd. They’re known for being seriously filling.
Coffee fans get plenty to explore too. Specialty drinks hold their own against the big chains, and loco coco hot chocolate shows up on the menu.
Chocolate chip muffins make a nice side pick. Not that a giant roll needs backup.
Hours are generous for a small shop. Weekdays run from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., with shorter hours on weekends.
That means you can grab a roll on the way home from work. Few bakeries on this list let you do that.
Weekends get busiest, so a weekday evening visit stays calmer. Free wi-fi helps if you want to linger.
The shop stays simple and clean, and prices are easy on the wallet. It’s the kind of stop you’ll want to repeat.
Address: 11237 Fairoaks Rd NE C, Bolivar, OH 44612
5. Amish Country Donuts & Cafe
Head-sized cinnamon rolls in the Little Switzerland of Ohio? Sugarcreek makes a strong case for itself.
Amish Country Donuts and Cafe is best known for large sourdough donuts. Still, the cinnamon rolls are huge enough to steal the spotlight.
Some come topped with a maple glaze. That’s a cozy twist on the classic icing.
The cafe side goes beyond pastries. Scratch-made breakfast and lunch options fill the menu, including a full vegetarian lineup.
Blueberry scones are another favorite here. House-made syrups give the coffee drinks a little extra personality.
Cold brew fans should take note too. It’s one of the drinks people come back for.
Now for the room itself. A fireplace and couches make it easy to stay longer than planned.
Free wi-fi turns it into a solid laptop spot. Kids get their own menu, and high chairs are available.
Short on time? A drive-thru keeps things moving when you’re heading deeper into Amish country.
Hours run Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. The shop closes on Sundays.
Friday and Saturday mornings get busy. Midweek mornings usually feel calmer.
Parking is plentiful, which helps in a tourist town. Grab a donut too, since you’re already there.
Address: 522 Dover Rd NE, Sugarcreek, OH 44681
6. Michael’s Bakeshop
Massive and dangerous might be the best compliment a cinnamon roll can get. That’s the reputation riding on this small Willoughby bakery.
Michael’s Bakeshop sits in the historic main-street district of downtown Willoughby. It’s a short drive east of Cleveland.
Signature cinnamon rolls lead the show. They’re gooey and fluffy, yet not overly sweet.
That balance is the secret weapon here. You can finish a big one without a sugar crash wiping out your afternoon.
Artisanal breads share the spotlight. Picking up a loaf for later is a smart move.
The small bakery feel is part of the appeal. So is the service, which has a strong reputation for kindness.
The owners are known for making guests feel welcome. It’s a neighborhood spot in the best sense.
Hours take some planning, so check before you go. The shop closes Tuesdays and opens at 8:30 a.m. on Mondays until noon.
Wednesday through Friday, doors open at 7:30 a.m. and close at 2 p.m. Weekends run 7:30 a.m. to noon.
Those short weekend windows mean early birds win. Rolls this good don’t tend to wait around.
Plan a stroll downtown after your stop. Willoughby’s main street makes a nice walk with a pastry in hand.
Address: 4145 Erie St #102, Willoughby, OH 44094
7. Beehive Bread Company
Sourdough gets the headline, but the cinnamon rolls refuse to play second fiddle. Beehive Bread Company in Powell handles both with serious skill.
This local Delaware County bakery specializes in handmade bread. Signature cinnamon rolls come out massive.
Flavor fans get options too. Raspberry cinnamon rolls show up alongside the classic version.
Pecan sticky buns are a strong backup plan. Pumpkin chocolate chip bread is another sweet loaf worth grabbing.
The cookie lineup includes dark chocolate sea salt. That one’s a nice salty break from all the icing.
Then there’s brain bread, which is a name you won’t forget. Curiosity alone might make you buy a loaf.
Samples are often part of the visit. It’s a fun way to test a new bread before committing.
Hours are tight, so circle them on your calendar. Wednesday runs noon to 5 p.m., while Thursday and Friday go from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday is a quick 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. window. The shop closes Sunday through Tuesday.
Curbside pickup is available if you’re in a rush. Free parking makes a quick stop simple.
Grab a loaf for dinner and a roll for the road. Both will be gone faster than you expect.
Address: 50 S Liberty St #166, Powell, OH 43065
8. Fox in the Snow Cafe
Old garages usually hold cars, not cinnamon rolls. In Columbus, this one got a much tastier second life.
Fox in the Snow Cafe sits in the historic Italian Village neighborhood. The airy space is a modernized garage with a view into the kitchen.
Baked goods here are made from scratch. The cinnamon rolls come huge, with plenty of frosting on top.
Fluffy texture is part of their fame. Sticky buns give you another sweet path to follow.
Tarts and biscuits also anchor the counter. The blueberry pastry with cream cheese is a menu highlight.
Hungry for savory food? Egg sandwiches are a popular pick for breakfast or lunch.
Coffee and tea both get serious attention. It’s a good place to linger with a laptop or a friend.
Outdoor seating adds an option on nice days. The mood runs lively and casual.
Fair warning, the line can build. Weekend mornings tend to be the busiest stretch.
Hours run 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays. Weekends start at 8 a.m. and wrap at 3 p.m.
A weekday afternoon visit usually means less waiting. Then you can enjoy your giant roll without a crowd watching.
Address: 1031 N 4th St, Columbus, OH 43201
9. Der Dutchman
Rocking chairs on the porch and gigantic cinnamon rolls inside? Walnut Creek clearly knows how to make guests slow down.
Der Dutchman serves Amish-style comfort food in a casual, homey setting. Pastoral views from the property add to the small-town feel.
The bakery deserves its own stop. Huge cinnamon rolls are a signature, and pecan cinnamon rolls make a great take-home treat.
Breakfast here is a big deal too. The breakfast bar includes cinnamon roll cake, so you can double up on the theme.
Scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, fried mush, and pancakes fill out the spread. Fresh fruit adds a lighter touch.
Lunch and dinner bring a salad bar to the table. Homemade Dutch apple pie and real vanilla ice cream close things out nicely.
Families will feel right at home. Kids get their own menu, plus high chairs and changing tables.
Hours stretch longer than most stops in Ohio’s Amish country. Monday through Thursday runs 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Friday and Saturday go until 8 p.m.
The restaurant closes on Sundays. Saturday afternoons and evenings get the busiest.
Reservations aren’t accepted, so plan around the crowds. Weekday mornings tend to be quieter.
Grab a box of rolls before you leave. Tomorrow’s breakfast will thank you.
