What Makes the Honey Wheat Roll Different?
Sheetz builds its made-to-order subs on a choice of bread, and the honey wheat roll is the option aimed at people who want more than a plain white roll but don't want the sharper flavor of a pretzel bun. The defining trait here is texture and taste working together: honey wheat has a noticeably denser, more textured crumb than the white sub roll, with a light nuttiness from the wheat flour and a subtle sweetness from the honey worked into the dough. It's not a sweet bread in the way a dessert roll would be — the sweetness is background, not foreground — but it's enough to change how the sandwich reads compared to a neutral white roll.
That extra density also means the honey wheat roll holds up a little better under a wetter or heavier filling, since it has more structure to work with than a softer white roll. It sits between the two other bread options Sheetz offers: lighter and more neutral than the pretzel roll (which brings a firmer chew and a distinct salty crust), and heartier than the white roll (which stays soft and mild). If you're choosing a bread mainly because you want something that tastes like more than just a vehicle for the filling — without going as bold as pretzel — honey wheat is the middle-ground pick. We cover the other two options in more detail on our Breakfast White Sub guide, and on the site's pretzel sub page, if you want a direct side-by-side.
Price & Why It Can Vary
A sub built on the honey wheat roll starts at roughly $4.99, the same baseline as the other bread options — Sheetz generally doesn't charge extra just for picking a different roll. What actually moves the price is the filling you build on top of it: meat, cheese and any extra toppings are what push the total above the base price, not the bread choice itself.
Regional pricing still applies here the same way it does across the rest of the menu, so the exact number can shift a bit depending on which store you're ordering from. The Sheetz app will always show the live, store-specific price once you've picked your bread and built out the rest of the sandwich.

Why the Honey Wheat Roll Stands Out
- A genuine middle ground. It sits between the plain white roll and the bolder pretzel roll, giving you more flavor and texture without going as strong as pretzel.
- Light sweetness that doesn't clash. The honey worked into the dough is subtle enough to complement savory breakfast fillings instead of competing with them.
- Extra structure for heavier builds. The denser crumb holds up better than the white roll under a wetter or more loaded filling.
- No price premium. It's priced the same as the other bread options, so you get a heartier bite at no extra cost.
How to Order This Item
In-Store Kiosk: Choose the breakfast sub option, select "Honey Wheat" as your bread, then build your egg, protein, cheese and toppings from there.
Mobile App: Build the sandwich in the app and save it as a favorite with honey wheat selected, so you don't have to re-pick the bread each visit.
Delivery: Available through partner delivery apps at many locations — the denser roll holds its shape reasonably well during a delivery ride compared to a softer bread.
Honey wheat is what I switch to when I want a heartier sub without going full pretzel — it's got enough structure to hold sausage, egg and extra cheese without turning mushy, and the faint sweetness is genuinely pleasant against a salty breakfast meat. I only notice the honey when I'm eating it slowly; on a rushed morning it mostly just reads as a slightly denser, better-tasting roll than plain white.
Quick Questions
Does the honey wheat roll actually taste sweet?
Only mildly. The honey adds a light sweetness and softens the wheat flavor, but it's subtle enough that it doesn't clash with savory breakfast fillings — it's noticeable mostly in the aftertaste and aroma rather than as an overpowering sweet flavor.
Is honey wheat roll bread heavier than the white sub roll?
Yes, slightly. It has a denser, more textured crumb than the white sub roll, which is softer and lighter. Neither is heavy in an absolute sense, but side by side the honey wheat has noticeably more chew and structure.
Does the honey wheat roll cost more than white or pretzel?
No, it's priced at the same baseline as the other bread options. Sheetz prices the sandwich around the filling, not the bread choice, so the roll itself doesn't add to the total.
What fillings work best on honey wheat bread?
Its light sweetness pairs especially well with breakfast meats like sausage or bacon, and the denser crumb holds up well to extra cheese or a wetter filling without getting soggy as quickly as a softer roll.
Can I order the honey wheat roll through delivery apps?
Yes, where delivery is available. The denser structure of the honey wheat roll holds its shape reasonably well during a delivery ride, similar to the pretzel roll.
