Why are you open during the holidays? Went to Pappa Roti expecting their signature buns, only to be told they were completely out. Surprisingly, they don't even make the buns in-house despite having a large kitchen. They come shipped frozen, and there hasn't been a delivery due to the holidays. With no buns available, the only options were coffee drinks and scoops of ice cream. For a place known specifically for its buns, that's extremely disappointing. If you can't offer your main product, you shouldn't be open. Not worth the visit. read more

Never heard of the coffee bun concept until I was browsing for dessert shops in Frisco near the restaurant I ate at for dinner. The mona lisa bun with vanilla ice cream, banana, strawberries, chocolate drizzle, and whipped cream was delicious. Although it's a unique concept, the inside of the bun is mostly hollow which was not ideal. read more

I am very, very biased with my likening of sugar cane juice. It reminds me of my time in the farms of Brazil as a kid (we drove by one). It's difficult for me to find sugar cane drinks in Texas - the last 2 places I went to stopped selling them so I keep an eye out. And no, I didn't get anything else, I only cared about the sugar cane juice. 5 stars! read more

Pappa Roti's been around for a while now and they've done a great job of maintaining their quality. I'm happy that they've extended their weekday hours to 11pm as that makes a weekday post din-din run so doable. It is still a small place s when it's busy its ready to burst. The staff has always been great here. If you dont want the decadent variety of buns, the simple plain one yummy in its own right, though the former are great for splitting. Great dessert, topped off with solid a coffee menu or Pakistani chai. Can't go wrong. here. read more

Traditional Indian Chai with cardamom was really tasty, but I'm not sure if they have regular chai for those who are not fans of cardamom. Sadly all of the buns were out today due to a shipment delay, which was very disappointing as we did not get a chance to try them at all. Staff were very kind and apologetic, they explained the situation to us. We sat in the comfy leather couch near the door. I really wanted to try the original bun and ferrero rocher bun. read more

Craving an aromatic, spicy chai and some freshly baked pastry? Here is the place. As you may notice if you've been reading my reviews, I wouldn't miss any coffee places where you can find Middle Eastern, Yemeni, Indian chai, tea, or coffee. It was my first visit here. I got their karak chai and their signature coffee buns. The chai was smooth with a subtle taste of various spices like cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and probably other herbs. The sugar level was just right for me. The bun was the best. The coffee crust on top was sweet and toasty. It reminds me of the crust on a Hong Kong pineapple bun, but this crust is thinner and more delicate. The inside was soft and moist. You could get additional toppings/dressings over the crust or, if you like, stuff it with your favorite ice-cream! I'll save this for my next visit. The lady that took my order was very friendly and introduced me to the different flavors of their buns. The place is not too big. I believe it may get crowded during coffee rush hours. It was a quick, but enjoyable visit. I'll come back by to try perhaps there Turkish coffee and an ice-scream filled bun! read more

Ordered the Mona Lisa, Karak Chai and the Signature Bun. The Mona Lisa comes with sliced banana, strawberries, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream and chocolate & caramel sauce. It was my favorite! Really enjoyed the Karak Chai. It has aromatic spices and herbs combined with condensed milk, cardamom and saffron. Their signature bun is great! It has a nice crispy exterior and it's very soft and buttery on the inside. The chai paired real well with the signature bun! Also,the buns aren't overly sweet and very light. It was busy when I went, but customer service was great and even though I had to wait a while, it was well worth the wait! read more

I came in the late afternoon hoping to get a hot beverage and get some work done on my laptop. I was looking for a chai latte which they have, and it comes in a cute teacup. Since I had not eaten lunch yet, I got a coffee bun with fresh strawberries. What I got was very different than the picture on the menu. It was coffee bun with syrup and one strawberry on the side. It was very sweet and was $10+. I grew up eating coffee bun from the local asian bakery and so I am used to ~$3 for a coffee bun. I think this would be a great place to splurge on a dessert and tea with a friend to hangout. read more

Let me just say that nothing good can possibly come from residing within a 10-mile radius of this establishment. It is dangerous-ly addictive and has most certainly earned a spot in the rotation of my top 10 places in and around the Frisco Area. Went here with my childhood BFF on a weeknight two hours prior to closing time and can honestly say that I'm hooked. She had been to this location twice previously and had frequented the original in Chicago and raved about it. She was right. Love the enticing aroma and the chill/laidback vibe - it brings about a vibrant burst of energy to the space and the Buns and Chai are to die for. They really struck the right balance of flavor - not too sweet and not too bland. Most noteworthy were the undertones of cardamom and cinnamon of the Chai. The mouthfeel and ratio of the soft interior to the crispy exterior of the Cheese&Honey Bun were too good to pass up. I had driven by this place several times in the past few months, but never stopped by until a few weeks ago. Shohaib greeted us with a smile and I told him it was my first visit. He walked me through the Menu and highlighted common items that are ordered by regular customers. He is a nice young man with a professional work ethic. We will be returning. read more

Such a wonderful owner! He educated us on the Turkish coffee and how the buns are made. If you like coffee, try the Turkish. Very good! And the buns..... if you want a treat do not miss them! We had the standard and it was amazing. I can't imagine the flavored ones. For a native Texan, this was an international experience in my backyard. read more

The buns are really good, and worth the premium price as they are made fresh in house, and of quality ingredients. I haven't tried all the different versions, but have had a bun with my chai. It's a great snack, and a nice place to meet for a chai date with a friend or two. It does get crowded over the weekends and in the evening, but they do take orders over the phone for take away. The chai has been good, but not great. I've had both the karak chai and Horlicks chai a couple of times, and the biggest issue is inconsistency. The first karak chai was really good, but the second was a bit heavy on the illaichi (cardamom). The Horlicks chai was ok the first time, too sweet and tasted more like Horlicks milk, but the second time was better. Nice addition to the area, and we'll happily return again. read more

Can't wait to go to this place again. Only reason it is a 4 star rather than a 5 star is because one of their items had nuts (the Biscoff item) which was not listed on the menu or shown in the picture. I have a nut allergy and was unable to try it - I would have removed the nuts if known. The woman at the cash register was great helping us order and while we wanted to pack it to go, she recommended eating it at the location so we could experience the items better and I 100% agree that was the right call. The Ashta bun is a MUST TRY and paired with the Karak Chai makes it a 10/10 experience. While the other flavors are great, the simple sweetness of this dessert is the best part, so I highly recommend going with a more simple item and pairing it with their one of the many tea options they have. As a dessert spot the location is great and I highly recommend checking this spot out. read more

The signature bun is hands down the best sweet bread bun type thing I have ever had in my life! I smiled as soon as my brain could understand what was happening. Delicious! had it with a latte. I haven't tried any other bun but I plan on it. Also, the ladies at the front were so nice. Coming back for sure!! read more

Exactly like what I had in Malaysia! I was so excited when I heard this place opened up I rushed over the second day of its soft opening. There's no lines right now as of Friday evening, but I wouldn't be surprised if it gets busy soon. The service is quick and friendly. The original bun (a bit pricy at ~$4) comes warm almost as if straight out of the oven. It's so soft and fluffy with the perfect crunchy exterior. There's also a pat of butter inside. I paired it with a small milk tea on recommendation from the cashier. It is nice to dip the bread in and would also be great as an iced drink. As a warning the tea is incredibly sweet. It's part of the smaller plaza next to 99 Ranch so there's plenty of parking. Definitely visit! read more

This is right inside the up and coming Chinatown in Frisco! I stopped by because I hadn't eaten lunch and noticed a lot of people walking in while I stopped for some boba. For about $10-11, I ordered the strawberry roti with whipped cream. It's pretty pricey for what it is. The closest resemblance I can think of is pineapple buns (buoluo buns), and those usually cost around $2-5 in Chinese bakeries. For nearly 2x the markup, I don't know if I would come back and order it again. The texture is really good, and I think it tastes good too. It's pretty light for how large the bun is, and it even has a nice savory taste from the garlic/butter (?) that's on the inside. read more

We got three of their buns between the five of us. Their strawberry mango, ferroro rocher and Biscoff bun. These buns are quite filling and their portion sizes were huge! My favorite had to be the strawberry mango because of the refreshing mango ice cream in it that cut through the heaviness of the soft outer layer of the bun. The ferroro rocher was good paired with the vanilla ice cream on the side but too dense and chocolatey on its own. Finally I'd put the Biscoff bun at last despite being a Biscoff lover- it just didn't hit as much. Their ambiance is pretty subpar but definitely a great dessert place if you want to try something different! read more

Interesting little shop. They have some really interesting desserts that I would like to go back and try. I got a salted caramel latte and boy it was hot! It took about 30 minutes for it to be safe to drink, plus I added about 6 little bags of sugar. Overall the coffee was ok. Their ice cream looked really good though! read more

I took my family here because I had a coffee passport and what a wonderful surprise! The food is so delicious. We tried a couple of the creation buns, but honestly the signature bun was just as good! My kid said that it is better than a donut. I had a tiramisu latte and it was beautiful and delicious! We will definitely return. read more

Maybe because this is still grand opening phase, lots of customers come in and buy. Tried to buy 4 signature buns but it's limited to 3/ customer. The signature bun is excellent, smells good and it just came right out the oven. It's the same as Rotiboy in SE Asia. It's also called Mexican coffee bun. the price is the highest for any bun I've bought. $4.99 plus tax for one regular sized bun. They have other types of buns that's even more expensive. I know food in Frisco is generally on the high end compared to other places in DFW, but I wasn't expecting $4.99/ bun. I may come back but sparingly considering other Asian bakeries sells $3-4/ bun. Inside can only seat 20 ppl read more

The coffee buns had amazing texture and was buttery good. However I didn't taste any coffee in them at all. I believe there's other places that tastes better. I had their Mona Lisa which came with bananas strawberries and vanilla ice cream. I did enjoy it but it is quite pricey for what you get ($14). My partners toffee ice cream bun tasted amazing also but pricey too ($11). I would stop by again to try their other menu items. read more

Also the salted caramel latte was amazing and not too sweet :)!

In my opinion, I wasn't a big fan of this place. I didn't realize that all of the buns were coffee flavored which is a taste that I don't really like. So if you're not a coffee flavored person, then I wouldn't recommend this place. Service was quick but the cashier did get our order wrong which I was confused about since it wasn't even loud in the place. They did have high chairs which I appreciate. Ambiance was casual where you can stay and hang out and just talk. I personally would try other places before coming back here again. read more

I had the Karak tea, which tasted similar to a chai. I also had the signature bun. I love how crispy it was on the outside and soft on the inside. Both tasted great.

I definitely recommend the classic bun as it was my favorite pastry and was perfect for dipping into a hot coffee or chai! Overall we really liked it and the service was great as well! read more

Had chai tea with saffron & cardamon. Wife had a latte. We shared a cinnabun. All very quickly provided, hot. Interesting taste, not something I've had before.

Ours had honey & cocoa on top. Good. An interesting and different taste sensation all-around. Nice treat. read more

Went here for the first time recently. Store ordering is weirdly setup. You entered the store and the menu board is right there on the front. This is all good, however, to order you have to go on the side. There is no menu over there. So, if you want to review or want something else, you have to go back to the front again to look at the menu and then go back to the side to complete your order. Extremely inconvenient and not sure who came up with this idea. Store is also on the smaller side and not that big. Their original bun is good. It is fluffy, soft, and tasty. You have to eat right there to enjoy it at its best. Cost about $5.00+tax which is reasonable. Also bought their cheese and honey bun and it was expensive at $10.99+tax. Definitely a rip off because it is just the original bun with a drizzle of cream cheese and honey on top. Surely cream cheese and honey drizzle doesn't cost that much and really doesn't justify such a high price. Their tea is good but it is sweet and pre mixed with sugar. This is really poor as not many people like to have their tea mixed with sugar already. They should have an option with no sugar. They also advertise their app with rewards but when trying to redeem I was told they don't accept that at this moment because store is still in soft opening mode! This sounds ridiculous because it has been a while this store has already opened. If not yet, when are they officially going to open? read more
