Our Craft

How they’re made

No shortcuts, no rush. Three unhurried steps, the same way good baking has always been done.

  1. 01

    Bulk Fermented

    Our dough rests overnight, taking a long, unhurried rise that deepens the flavor and builds that signature pillowy crumb.

  2. 02

    Hand-Rolled

    Each batch is hand-rolled in small numbers, layered with cinnamon and brown butter so every swirl is even and generous.

  3. 03

    Baked Fresh

    Baked to order the morning of our weekly drop, then finished with our signature Vanilla Bean Sugar Glaze while still warm.

Our Story

A heritage of
handmade joy

“I wanted to bake the way my family always did — slowly, and for the people we love.”

Merlen Bakehouse began with our head baker and a cinnamon roll recipe passed down through the family. What started in a home kitchen became a small-batch bakehouse built on patience, real ingredients, and the belief that the best things can’t be rushed.

Every Saturday, we bake a limited drop fresh to order — no freezers, no shortcuts. Just heritage, in every bite.

Merlen Bakehouse is a must-try! I had their cinnamon rolls and cookies and both were incredible. The cinnamon roll was soft, fresh, and had that homemade taste that honestly feels like a grandmother’s hug on a Sunday morning lol. The cookies were just as good perfect texture, great flavor, and dangerously easy to finish. You can really tell there’s a lot of love behind what they make. Even better, they’re a local, family owned Orlando business. Definitely worth checking out, and I’ll 100% be back!

Top tier, amazing. Cinnamon rolls you can eat every single week and never get tired of. Will never say no to a Merlen Bakehouse roll.

PHENOMENAL! The Cinnamon buns particularly are savory, high quality instead of something dry and average. Love the quality of everything we get from you guys !!
