The pros: Trader Joe's Artisan Brioche Rolls are just as magical as Trader Joe's Brioche Bread. If you've tried the brioche bread, then this is just as good.
The cons: At $3.99 for six rolls, it is a bit pricey, but well done.
The verdict: It's nearly Fourth of July, which means we are heading towards another summer full of BBQed food items. If you are planning on BBQing these are the rolls to pick up. For $3.99 you are getting six high quality and great tasting rolls. They are also far better than Trader Joe's Classic Hamburger Buns.
If you haven't had brioche before, then you are in for a treat. It's a buttery bread that is very light and airy. These don't have the pretty swirls of buttered bread in each roll, but they have the same flavor. That flavor is greatly enhanced by toasting these. The roll is light, buttery, and worth the caloric difference between it and the regular hamburger bun in the bread aisle. With a slight crisp from toasting, you'll be able to get layers of both flavor and texture. I made mine with Trader Joe's Buffalo Burgers. I also put some ketchup on the bread. The toasted layer did not get soggy. In fact, it kept an extra layer of texture.
Overall, if you can find these while at your local Trader Joe's, then these are the rolls to reach for. I've purchased these the last few times I've been in Trader Joe's.
So here is the quick visual run down of the product.

Would I buy this again? Yes! While you could have a burger or sandwich on two slices of Trader Joe's Brioche, these are perfect for sandwiches or burgers. I'll absolutely buy these again.

We always have the bread on hand but, have not bought the rolls.. The only reason we have not brought home the rolls is because we like smaller buns.. These are just too large for our tastes..

Hey Ross! As always a pleasure to hear from you. These fit with Trader Joe's Buffalo burgers, but I absolutely see your point as to smaller burgers. Do you have any preferences on Hamburger Buns? Happy 4th!
RossC says
Hi Brenda... We buy small "Marketside" brioche rolls/buns @ WalMart.. They are perfect size for the smaller patties I make and for pulled pork, etc... Surprisingly, the taste is very much like the TJ's brioche bread which is a staple for us..
becomebetty says
Hey Ross! I would be interested to know if they were made by the same company. I don't have any nice Walmart's by me 🙁 but that is good to know!
RossC says
Interestingly enough, The Marketside Brioche Bun package states" Product of France"... Not certain of the validity of that statement... lol
The TJ's package does not say where baked..
becomebetty says
Actually, I just checked mine. It says made in France below the ingredients. I wonder if it is coming from the same factory...
RossC says
hmmm... I was going by the label you have above..I don't see made in France there.. It could very well be that the same baking company supplies both TJ's and WalMart.. TJ's needs to get on the ball and order the smaller buns... :O)
becomebetty says
Hold up, I grabbed the brioche bread and not the rolls. However, TJ is known for putting their label on other products so I wouldn't be surprised. Good call. Were they about the same price?
RossC says
The WalMart brand is $3.98 for a package of 6 buns.. That's in Cali.. Not certain if the same elsewhere.. Well worth the price, to me..
BTW.. Found and "liked" your FB page this morning... Will check it often as I enjoy all things Trader Joe's... :O)

I just got the notification on my phone! Thanks so very much! Being that you are in Cali, there might be times when things are available on the East Coast and not available on the West Coast (and vice versa). As always, thanks so very much for sharing! It makes this blog so much more interesting and dynamic.

Hello! Love your articles on Trader Joe's items. I know what you mean. Some items are so totally worth my long trip (40 mins drive haha) but again I don't buy everything from there. I definitely want to make a blog post on my fav items. They have good vegan finds.
Again, thanks for the pros and cons. Its always helpful 🙂
