Karak Tea
Sohaib L.

Been here a number of times but for some reason the experience was excellent. The bun seems bigger than usual, and karak tea was fresh. The service was great, the owner is super polite to everyone. The place is well decorated, ample of amount of seating. Perfect for breakfast, mid day team, or after dinner dessert. I wish they could make teas without sugar and the tea can be fresh directly from pot with each order. Halal!

If you're looking for something sweet, Pappa Roti delivers. They make fresh coffee buns in house and make tea, coffee, and smoothie drinks as well. The coffee bun made here is essentially a Chinese bao. You can choose from a variety of toppings that add a bit of decadence - honey, Nutella, ice cream, fresh fruit, and more. I was taken back by the pricing which is double what I expected, but at the very least, you get freshly made quality buns to order. You can also order plain coffee buns which are a little more reasonable. The karak tea was my favorite thing here. I was given a sample to try and it instantly reminded me of Hong Kong milk tea but with more nuance from the spices and tea used. Interior is clean, and service was friendly. Pappa Roti is a nice change of pace from other cafes. I just wish prices were more reasonable. Otherwise I'd be here all the time!

Nuts For Nutella
Zainab M.

Nice cafe! I've been to this Pappa Roti a few times now, and have always had a great visit. They have a wide range of items from sweet and savory snacks. My most recent visit was a few weeks ago while they had their collab with Kolachi and we ordered quite a few things! From the collab, we ordered the chicken roll, the beef roll, the vegetable samosas, and the chicken puff pastry. Everyone's favorites were the chicken roll and the puff pastry, they weren't too heavy but had great seasoning. You can't really go wrong with any of their signature buns that they have, my favorite being the nuts for nutella or the basca bun. I recommend eating it there or in the car if possible, it tastes best fresh! There's plenty of seating inside, which is nice because it gets busy quickly. The staff were really nice, they gave great reccs. and everything came out quickly.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION: The bun is hot from the oven, and you can watch the creator as he works.

Still yummy. Tried the Mona Lisa bun which I split with my son. Similar to a previous trip, the Mona Lisa starts with the bun, a banana, and strawberries. Then they add vanilla ice cream, chocolate and caramel sauce. They're now serving Kolachi Kitchen stuff here too. I'll try that next time.

Clean. Bright. Indian pop music faintly playing. Nicely decorated. Service reasonable: got what we wanted. Trained smile. Soft spoken. Caramel Latte was not too sweet. Karak Tea was stronger than chai; not too sweet either. Pappa Roti was lovely: crunchy outside and fluffy, chewy inside. World Cup soccer playing on flatscreen. Overall, fine. Good food and bevs. Service wanting. Atmosphere comfortable.

Ice Cream Oreo Bun

A large cafe with amazing sweet buns, ice cream, decor, and service. The cafe was extremely clean and the food was prepared fresh.

No foam. Microwaved. Garbage

Horrible. My latte was cold and asked for a new one to be hotter. She literally just microwaved it. Sorry not willing to pay $7 for a microwaved drinks.

I come here every Eid for the amazing buns, ice cream, and Karak chai. The service is amazing especially handling the high influx of customers, and there is ample seating for large groups. The Ferrero rocher bun with a side of dark chocolate is my all time favorite. The fluffy and flaky warm bun pairs perfectly with the vanilla ice cream and dark chocolate. The buns themselves are great alone as well with their chai. I love all the locations of Papparoti and am so glad to see more of these opening in Michigan!

Unfamiliar with the area, I stopped in looking for a sweet treat. The service was fast and friendly. The Nutella Bun I had was sweet and savory. It was my first time having something like this and I would definitely recommend.

We love Papa Roti. It has such a wonderful ambiance and is so restful. It is awesome to see groups of people coming from all over to gather around the love of these stuffed buns! The service is always wonderful and we love bringing others here.

I came to the complex for crumbl cookie, but ended up eating a nuts for Nutella instead. Asked for my name when I ordered. The guy that rang me up brought me my fresh OJ. He told me to have a good day when I left and remembered my name too. Very good customer service. Have to remember to get it without the whipped cream. It's a good blend of chewy dome, crunchy hazelnuts, ooey gooey Nutella and sliced bananas. It's a really nice pairing.

Pappa roti means "father of all buns." The first store was established in Malaysia by a mother who was experimenting with roti dough and created this delicious coffee caramel coated salted buttery bun! The Karak tea pairs well with the bun. I only took one star away because the music is way too loud.

Located in the metropolis of Rochester Hills, this new location not only serves to deliver on taste but they also follow COVID-19 protocol!! Having a rustic yet exquisite scenery adds to the calmness a place like this promises to deliver while enjoying a meal. They offer an array of drinks from coffee, smoothies, milkshakes, and fresh juices. Known for their Buns, one would MUST order a specialty creation; my personal favorites being the Mona Lisa, Nuts for Nutella, and ICloud. On top all else, they conveniently have food other than dessert and drinks. I enjoyed a sample of their lamb and white meat sandwich during the soft opening. This specific location was very clean, the employees were friendly and all followed Covid protocols. All in all, I highly recommend anyone to come in and enjoy dessert with tea here- as I will be returning!! P.S- The food served here is halal for those wondering or following this practice

Not only do they offer more bases than I've seen elsewhere (açaí, pitaya, coconut, green, banana, mango, chia, and oatmeal), but they also let you do half-and-half of 2 different flavors! They are also very generous with the portion size for what you pay. Their menu is extensive with tons of creative topping and base pairings. The bowls are well blended with the perfect consistency and the fruit is always fresh. The ambiance is very tropical with Hawaiian surf shop type vibes. When you step inside the store, it feels like you're on vacation at the beach....It's the perfect way to cure the winter blues. The employees are friendly and the service is usually fast. My favorite is the Pura Vida Açaí bowl which consists of açai base topped with crunchy granola, blueberry, strawberry, and honey. I usually add Chia seeds as well. I appreciate that gluten free granola is available as a substitution. In addition to bowls, they also offer smoothies, juices, and chicory cold brews.

The employees were sitting on a bench outside the building when I arrived but were quick to jump up and help when they saw me coming. Food was good but seemed a little costly. I envisioned the avocado toast being a much thicker bread, but it was pretty simple. They had a heavy hand on the red pepper flakes - but i don't mind spice so it wasn't an issue for me. Food came out quickly and was enjoyable.

After a brief discussion, she helped me pick the mixed berry bowl. It is very tasty and made with a base of (blue?)berry paste. Very, very cold. Almost uncomfortably cold. The granola was fresh. The blueberries and strawberries tasted fresh. The portion size was appropriate. I wonder if it is possible to substitute yogurt for the berry paste base? The sign out front advertises free coffee - it was not offered to me. When I inquired about decaf ... not available. The restaurant sits waaay back from Rochester Rd in a strip mall - hard to notice when driving. The space is IKEA-ish, with polished cement floors and an open somewhat industrial ceiling. The dining area is spotless and well lit. Some of the seating offered AC and USB charging, thank you very much. But no WiFi. The restrooms were clean and fully stocked. I had a leisurely breakfast. In the 25 minutes I was present, I was the only customer. Will I return? Yes & no. If I lived a lot closer, it might be a once or twice a month stop.

You can tell this is truly a family operation. There is such attentive and impeccable service here. Every time I've been, I've felt genuinely welcomed and taken care of. The food is absolutely outstanding. I've been back multiple times now, and my favorite is the spiced pork wontons with noodles. The wontons are crispy and juicy on the inside, and the noodles soak up all the spicy oil flavor. This is the kind of dish I find myself thinking about later. The mango crispy chicken is another must-order. Crispy chicken with that sweet mango flavor sounds simple enough, but it just works. It has a perfect balance of sweet and spicy, my favorite combination. Oakland Tea House is exactly the kind of small, family-run restaurant I love finding. Great food is one thing, but great food combined with genuine hospitality is what makes a place memorable. I will always find my way back to this place; highly recommend.

I've been looking forward to try this hidden gem since I read about in one of the leading newspaper…read morefood critic sections months ago. The first time my wife and I stopped by it was closed (Monday and Tuesday) If you enjoy authentic Asian cuisine I highly recommend you give this place a try. The owner ( Vingy for short) greeted my wife and I and helped us choose menu items based on what we liked, etc. We were one of two parties in the very small dining room ( eight tables) when we arrived and by the time we ate our dinner there were no tables available. We started with pork dumplings and cucumber salad as our appetizers. The salad was the freshest I've had anywhere. Bright, delicious but not overpowering. The dumplings were tasty and perfect in the two dipping sauces that accompanied these tasty morsels. I ordered the Dan-Dan noodles while my wife ordered one of the crispy chicken dishes (garlic). My noodle dish was filled with handmade noodles, braised pork and fresh aromatic vegetables. I could have licked the bowl it was that good. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her chicken entree as well. We ordered a pot of oolong tea that became more tasty as we let it steep at our table. This is the most authentic Asian food I've ever had hands down. Needless to say, we will be back to sample the other items on the menu.
