- Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the coffee milk and 2 tablespoons of melted butter to the flour. Mix until combined.

- Press the dough into a rectangle about 16 inches by 10 inches. Spread the dough with 2 tablespoons of melted butter and top with the filling. Keep the filling about an inch away from the edges all the way around.
- Starting at one end, gently roll the dough up. Press the ends together and into the roll. Cut into 9 even rolls.
- Cover the bottom of an 8x8 pan with 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the rolls into the pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
- While the rolls are baking, make the glaze. Dissolve the coffee in the buttermilk whisk in the cream cheese and powdered sugar. Let the rolls cool slightly before topping with the glaze.
