I have been eating pappa roti OG buns since many many years ago, there are not many of those stores any more but wherever I go, if I see the store I will always stop by and enjoy a bun. I have to say the buns at this location is much better than any other Canadian locations, I'm not sure why but it's so good my tears came out. it's cozy too, so perfect for a rainy day. I will come back.
Ice cream bun...what is that? On my visit to papa roti , I discovered this delicacy called ice cream bun from malaysia cuisine. Its a culinary staple in malaysia mostly available as street food too. Also make sure to try a malaysia drink called karak tea. ( more or less like indian tea with condensed milk in it) So paparoti is father of all buns from coffee buns to icecream buns in different flavours. They also serve hot and cold drinks, smoothies, sandwiches and salads. Soup special of a day is available. Matcha latte is my favourite here. Good speed internet , big glass walls and spacious tables with electric plugs close by make it perfect location to work as well.
It was a busy place. I ordered a coffee bun, but I was turned off by a mop and bucket next to my table. Two young guys were running the place, but seemed to lack the critical thinking that dirty mop water in an open area is not inviting. Bun was okay. I ate it fast and left.
I visited Pappa Roti on Robson Street and the one in Yaletown and tried their Karak milk tea. Both were good. This one in Coquitlam has a great interior design. The seating area is spacious with counter top tables and high chairs as well as some regular tables and chairs. The cafe is clean and tidy. There is pay parking on the street and there is a parking lot for the complex behind the building. The customer service was good. A barista would introduce what the cafe was selling in store and she was very friendly. I came to try their Karak milk tea. It was not sweet enough that I had to add come honey to it. I don't like to drink sweet beverages a lot but the sweet flavour in this Karak milk tea was not there yet. The ones I tried in downtown and Yaletown were about right that I didn't have to add extra honey or sugar to the tea. The cup of Karak milk tea was very hot that the cafe didn't have any sleeves. I had to ask a barista to give me some napkins or an extra paper cup to prevent holding onto a hot beverage.
Had a bit of time before dinner, friends and I decided to park ourselves at papparoti to chat and catch up. This coffee shop is clean, well lit and has great wifi! The coffee is so robust and strong - it will make you grow hair where you didn't know it could grow -?and the ice cream bun is really a sin. That's how good it is! Enjoyed the well laid out and laid back atmosphere at this quite serene hideaway.
Papparoti is a franchise that I grew up with in my hometown Malaysia. They are known for their coffee bun, which is essentially a flaky crispy bun with a soft buttery coffee texture on the inside. It is such a delicious treat and I was so happy to see a store open up in Vancouver. As stated above, you must try the papparoti bun at this store. Whether it is plain or with their other cute toppings, they are all super good. They are fairly expensive in my opinion, but it's a cool thing to try! I would recommend trying the classic bun with any of their ice cream combos. However, I did try their ice cream sandwich recently and wasn't the biggest fan of it (this is the picture I posted). The ingredients separately are great, but when the bun is holding the ice cream on the inside, it made the bun itself soggy quicker, which loses the deliciousness of the bun. I like them separated, which they normally do anyway. Love this place and will definitely be back for more!
Absolutely love this local Coffee place. Must try their buns. It was my first visit tried strawberry fields bun... definitely gonna visit again to try other buns. Coffee and hot chocolate was good as well. Cafe has positive vibe..
Papparoti's bun are warm, savoury and buttery. A bite of pillow-y softness with a touch of luxury. My favourite is the original, but if I feel a little extra that day, my go-to is the Crazy for Kaya which is a coconut jam with a dollop of honey. (Tip: They taste just as a good the next day at home, just pop it in the oven.) I've also recently tried the ice cream sandwiches, which in theory sounds delicious, but I'm not completely sold at the price range ($6ish plus additional $ for additional toppings). They were a little lackluster in presentation and I had to eat fast before it became a soft gooey pile of dough. Price wise, it's a little steep, but it's what you'll expect for a cafe that specializes in trendy buns. The Coquitlam location is bright, modern and airy. It's also seems to be a central hub for students studying with their laptops for hours, which can limit seating depending on the time of the day. Overall, definitely worth a visit and a nice foodie addition to the neighborhood.
In Asia these coffee buns are very popular - soft, light, airy yet with a buttery texture and filled with different fillings. It complements coffee very well, also tried their butter croissant which was decent but not great. They seem to bake all their goods in house and use JJ Bean coffee, can't go wrong with that. The Pinetree location is clean and nicely decorated, if not a bit on the minimalist side. Be lovely if they added a fireplace as a focal point and some comfy chairs.
This is a very cute little cafe... but not so little. Hahaha it is very roomy inside. Very nice place to come and have a small meeting. We came here to have a team meeting. Coffee and tea is good and food is available if you want to eat. There is wifi available as well. I would definitely come back here. It is a very nice atmosphere. I would recommend this place for small sit and chat meetings.
Added this place to my bookmarks. I pass it all the time driving, but this time, I stopped in with my daughter. These Korean Coffee Bun places are getting more and more common. And it's for good reason...they're great! Pappa Roti is exceptional. The selection of coffee and warm, artistic, and tasty desserts rivals typical coffee houses ala Starbucks. The coffee bun with strawberries and whipping cream is a favorite. Coffee is good too! Service was fast, friendly, and with smiles. They have a fully stocked coffee finishing station and lemon infused water. This place is a must do.
This place never dissapoints my taste buds. Staff is always wonderful and friendly. The place has always been clean and tidy. It is very close to work and transit, which is a bonus for me. Overall, I am always satisfied with coming here, whether for dine-in or take-out.
I often forget how wonderful this place is in Coquitlam. They have such a large menu. I recently went there around 8:30-9pm one night and they were fairly busy. So menu choices to choose from on their menu. I got the pistachio matcha latte with a vegan lemon loaf. The space itself is spacious, Bright and clean. The service was great and the pastry/drink was delicious read more

I've had these buns before downtown and they were pretty good. This sunday morning I was walking with my nephews around my neighborhood and found out they opened a new one. This location is better than the one I visited downtown. Although the staff had a different language communicating amongst them, they were really helpful and friendly. They made sure that the customers were happy with what they had. I ordered "the works" and shared it with my nephew. He was really happy with it. And my coffee was fancy. If I new they made the coffee artsy, I would've asked for it to be in a ceramic cup and not a paper cup. Overall, good customer service and good dessert place. Thumbs up and congratulations for opening. Would definitely come back with family. read more

I must admit these buns make for a nice picture. But I cant get out of my head this tastes like an overpriced pineapple bun except crunchier hehe. Tried their karak milk tea both hot and cold and it didn't knock my socks off. The ambiance is modern causal and nice for studying. Just a bit pricey for my liking. ~$15per person for bun and drink. There are more options in the city. read more
I fell in love with papparoti from the first time i came in on a sunday morning. This location is perfect for passerbys that live in the neighborbood. The cafe is large enough that it's never full whenever I come on the weekend morning/brunch time for a quick book read. It's my new "me-time" place. The coffee buns are superb - crispy on the outside and soft in the inside, and pair it with anything from jams, nutella, fruit, or whip cream and you're good to go. It's great with an iced kayak tea btw! The prices are steep, with one single coffee bun being 4 dollars and any topping or jam being 1.75 extra, or get a creation and it's 7 dollars. The ice karak tea is 5 something so it's definitely not cheap - but a great pick me upper from a busy week! read more

Awesome coffee buns and coffee! I live and work close by and the coffee is brewed just right unlike the always burnt stuff from Caffe Divano down the street! Baker/barista Sandy makes the best coconut filled croissants as well! Make sure you try them! read more

What is this sweet, fulfilling light airy coffee bun sorcery made of? If you haven't had a chance to stop by one of their locations either in Coquitlam or Robson st, you are really missing out on one of the most satisfying dessert ever. Priced At only $8 is very very reasonable must I say. So I had a chance to order their "Maple Eh," coffee bun at this location and it comes with two big scoops of vanilla ice cream, drizzled with what I assume is dark chocolate fudge and maple syrup on top and served warm to satisfy my tase buds as it was also raining outside was just fantastic. It's described as a waffle, rotti pastry bun. Very soft and very textured like a cream puff. You can taste a bit of the coffee which adds another flavor to it. The next time I visit which will be soon, I will try the strawberry field one as it looks even better. Hopefully they make a green tea matcha infused one in the future! read more

My family and I really enjoyed visiting yesterday. It was Christmas Day, and it was luckily open. It's a typical Instagram-worthy cafe that had some music in the background and nice and quiet. Our party of 7 ordered different buns which were all great; I personally had the maple eh bun which was delicious and the maple flavours were subtle (which I liked). Also had the karak milk tea, which I enjoyed but to be honest, I make similar chai tea at home that tastes the same. The staff are very friendly and all around quaint cafe. Will definitely visit again and try their other signature buns! read more
