source for small brioche rolls?

Looking for rolls that would make good vehicles for small sandwiches for a buffet. My first choice would be brioche but would welcome suggestions for sources for other kinds of excellent small rolls as well. TIA.

    Cheryl Ann's bakery in Putterham Circle (in Brookline at the West Roxbury line) has dozen-count bags of small braided "tea rolls" made from their sweet, delicious Challah dough. These are perfect for mini sandwiches on a buffet.

    Also thinking that the raisin-walnut and cranberry-walnut rolls from Iggy's would be pretty tasty as well.

      I believe Clear Flour in Brookline has them.

          The Trader Joe's in Newton has small brioche rolls as well.

              I second Iggy's small brioche rolls, which I purchased last week at Quebrada BAkery in Wellesley. Call Quebrada and ask them what day they have them and ask them to save them or order some for you!

                Iggy's in Fresh Pond has excellent brioche rolls. And good luck trying to get out of there without impulse buying about half a dozen other treats...

                  I really like their black pepper brioche -- would be tasty for savory sandwiches. You can get the plain at other bakeries, but you may need to go their for the pepper.
