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.

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.

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.

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

I've been wanting to try this place since they opened, as I drive past it a few times a week. This…read moreis a new cafe on the corner of Auburn and Livernois roads in Rochester Hills, MI. This is part of a multi-use group of buildings and they seem to have the prime spot right at the corner. When I walked in, I was welcomed by a clean and pleasant space with high ceilings and green and gold decor. It's all new and there is a variety of seating types. I chose to sit at a small table near the side entrance. They have so many great food and beverage options, it was hard to choose. The nice young lady who took my order was very patient with me - I had lots of questions being my first time here. I ended up with a Mocha Pearls drink, Nutella Dubai Baklava, and an Almond Croissant. The drink was supposed to have chocolate pearls in it but I suppose since I ordered it hot, they melted. It basically tasted like a chocolate mocha so I would like to come back and try something different next time. The baklava sent me to the moon and back - I love chocolate baklava and it's hard to come by. Add the "Dubai" crunch kataifi with pistachio and I'm done! It was amazing! The Croissant was served warm and it had an almond paste inside. Soooo fresh and good! I love the attention to details and the care they took to serve everything so visually appealing. I appreciate that added touch. I will be back - and likely often!

I want to love this coffee shop so much since I live nearby, I've been twice and will probably try…read moreit a third time to attempt to find something I like. In all fairness, I'm probably not the target market here - they have a huge drink menu with lots of different syrups and flavorings but I'm more of a no frills coffee person. The first time I got a plain latte and it was just ok, so this time I tried one of their specialties - the Mont Cloud. I assumed it would be mostly coffee and some cream but I guess it was a cloudy day because it was mostly cream (and ice) for $7. I also decided to try the basbusa because I've never had it before, but again ended not being up my alley since it's syrup-soaked. Oh well. The inside is decorated really cute and there's lots of different kinds of seating. They also have an outdoor patio area. Free parking since this coffee shop is located in a little strip mall. 3.5 stars overall.

Many of the TH locations in SE Michigan are still operating as drive thru only. Just like this one…read more At least that's the note on the door at 7:00pm on Sunday. At least their hours are accurately reported (unlike many of the local shoppes). From a drive-thru perspective, these guys were terrific. They still had chili for us, the donuts we wanted and a great cup of coffee. The outside of the store is well kept. The location is super convenient. 08/21 BACKGROUND: If you're new to the world of Tim Horton's, Tim's is currently Canada's largest "quick service restaurant chain". The bake shops are Canadian in origin but can be found in about a dozen states in the Eastern/Midwestern U.S. They are also represented in a few foreign countries such as Ireland, The Philippines, Qatar and even China. Yes, they are best known for coffee and donuts but offer quite a bit more. A small selection of breakfast/lunch sandwiches, soups, paninis and wraps. Baked goods include donuts, cookies, muffins and Timbits, their signature bite sized donut holes. STEVEN E. weighs in: It's a matter of apples and oranges with me. Visit a Tim's and you'll understand it's a totally different animal than a krispy creme or a duncan donuts. I review TH locations by comparing them to other TH locations and TH standards. 08/21

I'm leaving a one because, every time I go, I ask for a sandwich that's supposed to have sauce on…read moreit and they never put the sauce. I also asked for no cheese and they put cheese on my sandwich. The Tim Hortons in West Bloomfield always give you hash browns with the steak egg wrap. Apparently, at this one you have to ask for it. First off, the cheese tastes nasty in the wraps. So I did not enjoy my wrap. The person at the window confirmed there was no cheese but, there was. The cheese was really nasty that, I couldn't eat it. I end up throwing the rest of it out. What upsets me is that I had to go to work and I couldn't turn back and return the sandwich. This has been happening too many times. Can someone fix this problem please?

This is a beautiful, newer, restaurant located in a renovated church across the street from their…read moresister restaurant, Rochester Brunch House. The front is well maintained and welcomes you through the door to a gorgeously decorated dining room and bar. Seating is somewhat limited (it's a small space) but we got there during a slower period so we were sat right away. The brunch menu has a good variety and I opted for the Avocado Croast (the "toast" was a croissant) and a drip coffee. Beware that the drip coffee gets only one free refill. I asked during ordering because there are some places that don't give any free refills. Hubby ordered the Huevos Rancheros served in a bowl. The food came out beautifully and was very fresh. If I wanted to nitpick, I'd say they are keeping the roasted potatoes in a steamer which is making their crispy outer layer somewhat soggy but they still tasted good. They should revisit how they are keeping them warm or crisp them quickly before serving. The avocado toast didn't have a lot of avocado but it was still good. They should consider adding some sea salt to top it off - it would enhance the overall flavor. The service was good - I think our server wasn't comfortable in this job. That was okay for us as she warmed up to us after a while. All in all, a nice experience for our first time there. I'd like to return to try other menu items in the future.

After trying the Rochester Brunch House (RBH) the day before, my wife noticed Saint 1881 was…read moreserving brunch, so we gave it a try. We thought it looked very similar to RBH, but after talking to our server she explained it was owned by the same owner. Like its sister restaurant it is a restored church with high ceilings and chandeliers, with an elegant yet comfortable feel. It's larger and a little more upscale than RBH with much more outside seating at the front entrance, near the street, and at the side (where we sat). Looks more suited for cocktails and wine, than food forward. The brunch menu is scaled down from RBH, but similar. I ordered the Chicken Omelette (omelette version of the Chicken Scramble at RBH, which I enjoyed the day before). It was noticeably smaller and less flavorful, but still was ok, though priced the same. Be prepared as a cup of coffee is $5. Yikes! We sat outside just after opening and hoping to have a beautiful relaxing breakfast. However, they seemed to have chosen a club like playlist from some pretty loud outdoor speakers, which felt very out of place, Maybe it was purposeful to get people revved up, but still, just felt off. Our server was warm, friendly and said some very kind things about the owner. She even told us how the restaurant got its name. Apparently there was a huge fire which destroyed several churches in the area and in 1881 this church was the first to be rebuilt. Saint 1881 pays homage to their roots. Very nice tribute. Our food took a little longer than expected since we were the only customers at the time, but not overly excessive. Between the beautiful outside seating, friendly service, interesting history, we will be back - maybe for cocktails or a nice glass of wine.
