We came here in the afternoon but they were all out of their Dubai chocolate, which we were told is super good. The service was good and the ambiance was cool. We ordered the signature bun, but should have ordered more than one because you can't stop at one bite. It was super good. Gotta give it a try. read more

I needed a sweet treat after dinner and this popped up on Yelp. They are a chain. They've been open 3 years. There were plenty of parking. The place is huge with plenty of seating. The place is also very clean. The owner was not talkative. He answered my questions. The buns come from Malaysia. I got the original bun. They heat it up. It was crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Yum! Unfortunately my phone died and I didn't get the Pic of the bun. read more

I came here for the first time and I loved it. Family friendly place. We loved the ferrero rocher ice cream bun and the signature bun. The paneer panini sandwich was also good. The service was very nice and on time and the owner kept asking us if we liked the food. Overall it was a great experience and we definitely will go back again. read more

Great food and service . Overall Ambience was good as well ...definitely recommended and will visit again.

Beautiful cafe with lots of space for friends and family to enjoy. I was happy with my drink although it was a little extra sweet. The biscoff bun was tasty with a crunchy outside and soft center however the mango strawberry bun was slightly disappointing. Overall experience was neutral. I would go again since the couple that owns it were super sweet. read more

I'm glad this PappaRoti is open after the downtown location closed. This place serves chai, hot buns, and ice cream. The karak chai is great and has a great spice profile. It does come sweetened but it's not overly sweet like other places. The buns are delicious, soft but also has a crunchy exterior. I got mine drizzled with caramel! The Bun costs $5 and the drizzle costs $2. I think the extra drizzle should only cost $1 though. The place has many tables and comfy seats to chat away. The menu did not have any savory items like small sandwiches though. Lastly, the place closes at 8 pm so I wish it was open later like the Chai places on Roosevelt Road. read more

Blown away by these coffee buns, I got the mona lisa which comes with the coffee bun, vanilla ice cream, strawberries and bananas drizzled in chocolate and caramel sauce. The top layer of the bun is a "coffee caramel butter" cookie layer packed with flavor. Definitely coming back again~ I also got the biscoff shake but honestly think it could use more biscoff flavor. Would I order again? Not really unless they change up the recipe for this. Their menu is actually quite vast, it's a little more than just coffee buns and shakes, they have coffees, smoothies, buns with ice cream in them, and more. Store is clean, brightly lit, has many seats. Service was good as well, definitely give this place a try, I've come across it so many times on yelp and never thought much of it but now it's one of my favs for desserts read more

My husband and I decide to try out this place since their desserts looked unique and good. We got the Ferrero Rocher one which was great. A nice combination of crunch, sweetness, and fluffiness. My husband got the Karak tea and he enjoyed it. We felt that the atmosphere could use more character and the space was too large. read more

This is a good place for you to enjoy amazing sweet coffee flavored buns and a cup of coffee. The store is very spacious with great smell of coffee and buttery buns lol. I just can't describe how I love the buns here. I got them everytime I come, it makes me feel like where I usually got paparotti in my hometown. Service is fine, it can get a bit busy sometime but I never waited more than 15mins. Great experience so far. read more

I picked up an order from this place and the buns were good. However, I also ordered two paneer paninis and when I went home, I noticed they had no paneer in them. When I called them, their response was whether I wanted to eat them or bring them back. That was terrible service by them. First of all I was served a sandwich with just chutney and onions and then he asks me to bring them back. Update - The owner called me back and apologized and said he would refund the amount for the sandwiches. Rating was updated to reflect the taste of everything else. read more

Must try! Before I give my review I want to give you a backstory to this establishment. 20 years ago I visited Kuala Lumpur Malaysia and went to this coffee place called Roti Boy that had coffee but was known for this bun called the "Mexican Bun". I always thought it would have been cool to make that Mexican Bun here in America because it's so good. Pappa Roti seems to be a spinoff of Roti Boy as everything is exactly the same, but they call it a "Signature Bun" instead of the Mexican Bun. In Malaysia these buns are served mostly in the mornings with coffee similar to how we sell donuts here in America. I was blown away when I saw this Pappa Roti and their signature bun so I stopped in to give it a try. It wasn't even in Yelp yet so I set this up for them and excited to be the first to review and give everyone this backstory..... On to my review. The Signature Bun (Mexican Bun) is a fluffy dough ball that tastes like coffee and cinnamon.... Who wouldn't love that? The Mexican Bun in Malaysia has a lot more butter inside, so it's practically dripping. Comparatively the Signature Bun has much less butter and juicy drip.... Maybe after this review they can add more butter. It's a really tasty bun but doesn't seem as sweet as donuts, so you don't feel so bad eating them. They have a bunch of options if you want to flavor your bun or just eat it plain. A bunch of coffee and drink options as well. Give it a try and let me know what you think. read more

I was looking forward to trying PappaRoti after a friend told me a local branch was opening. I believe they're still in the soft opening phase, and they still have some growing pains. It seems like Qahwa House handled their launch more effectively. The interior of PappaRoti is spacious, but the design is not as exciting as Qahwa House. They open at 10 am on Sunday. We went at 11:15 and were told the buns would take another half hour to be ready. So we drove down to Panera to grab some coffee and came back. A couple other customers also had to leave. Anyway, we did come back and ordered an iCloud to share. It came to $12 with tip. I've had roti buns before when there was a stall located within Fox Valley Mall some years ago. PappaRoti's bun was very good. Crisp on the outside, and fluffy and buttery on the inside. The iCloud was topped with whipped cream and had a few strawberry pieces. While it was tasty, I'm not sure it was worth $12. I believe a plain bun is $4.25, so it was quite a markup for whipped cream and strawberries. I can make a similar dessert at home. My local Mexican bakery sells conchas (Mexican sweet bread) for $1 each, and I can top that with Reddi-Wip and strawberries at home, so maybe $2 in total. To be fair, a concha doesn't have the buttery goodness of a roti bun, but a fresh-made concha is pretty good. Overall I would say the dessert was good, but not the best value. read more

First time here. The owner was very nice and gave us a little back story. We had three buns and a shake. The biscoff, Mona Lisa and Nutella buns were excellent! The Oreo milkshake wasn't great. They make it with ice and there were large chunks of ice. However, we will be back and will just skip the shakes. read more

Too pricey, $12.99 for a loaded bun and the portion size is smaller compared to the ones I've had from the same franchise in Malaysia. The ambience is meh and barely 3-4 customers on a Saturday afternoon. Overall, the flavors are good but will need to cut prices to attract repeat customers. Service was okay. read more

The 3 stars are for the bun. Upon entering I noticed how loud the dance music was. I ordered bun with ashta and honey.also cappuccino with oat milk. 20 minutes later she almost gave my order to somebody else but I was fast to take it. Cappuccino was very bitter and no foam at all. I couldnt drink it. Bun was very delicous. But the loud music, cold temputure and the wait was not worth it. I suggest taking your buns to go. read more

This is the 3rd time I have been to the Naperville Pappa Roti. The first time, after seeing them advertise they were open, I walked in about noon, and was told they were open, but unable to make any food or drinks. Huh?? So I asked when they'd be open for service, and they told me in about a week. I went back a week or so later, and they were able to make coffee and tea and their Signature bun, but my two friends and I were told it would take about 20 to 30 minutes to get two plain coffees and one tea. We were shocked, but had already paid when we were given this info. We sat and watched for about 25 minutes with no one else in the store, and 1 employee making the buns, and the other two just standing there wiping the counters. Umm...no one even attempting to make coffee or tea! My friends and I began laughing as was this really happening? Finally one of the employees came to our table and brought a signature bun, "on the house" with an apology that the wait was so long for two coffees and a tea. She told us they were waiting for directions to be sent via email to use the machines! ugggh...we left. Fast forward another week, today my friend and I went and there was a sign on the door that said they were open but you could ONLY order what was on the screens above cash register. Well here is the pic of all you could order. Black coffee and a signature bun. So that's what we ordered. With only two customers in there besides us (they were already seated and having a bun and coffee), employees just stood around, and no one began making coffee. This is like the twilight zone lol. Then we finally were brought our buns, and given coffee in a paper cup. I asked for a coffee cup (ceramic type - that I saw stacked on shelves), and was told coffee doesn't come in those cups, only paper cups. OMG!! Who goes to a specialty seemingly world-famous coffee shop to sit inside and drink from a paper cup??? A family with two children came in and immediately left when they were told all that was available was coffee and plain bun. WHY IS THIS PLACE EVEN OPEN????????????? It has to be a Candid Camera situation! read more

Walked into the restaurant and the cashier was on the couch picking his toenails while on his cellphone... gross! Didnt wash his hands when he got up and proceeded to talk on his cellphone while walking up to the cash register. Never coming back. Aren't you supposed to wear closed toed shoes working in a restaurant and why are you picking your toes??? my appetite was ruined and walked right out won't be back ever again. read more

I was looking for a new coffee shop around Naperville and saw Pappa Roti pop up on google. The building itself isn't too hard to find and the inside is very clean. After looking through the menu I decided to get their signature combo. The signature combo includes a sweet bun and kanaka tea. The tea was delicious and had hints of cardamom. The sweet tea was warm and sweet. I will definitely be returning for this wonderful combo. read more

Delicious food! It was extremely busy but service was still good. The ambience was fun and the location was clean.

Horrible service! 1st time I went with friends and we all ordered 4 coffee buns. The girl that was working there wasn't that friendly and looked annoyed that my friends and I were each ordering 4 buns. But, ok. I thought the buns tasted good and my kids enjoyed them. I went back the 2nd time, but they were closed, even though, it was during the hours they were supposed to open. So, I tried again today 3rd time. And what a horrible service! I wanted 12 coffee buns, but the girl said she can't give me because she has to save them for other costumers. They would be mad at her if they come and get no buns. She only can give me 8 buns. Ok, so I ordered the 8 buns that she can give me. Then I ordered a cup of coffee to go. She went to her phone and texted someone for like 2-3 mins before she made my coffee. Then slammed the cup of coffee on the counter and walked away and went to her phone texting. I wasn't sure if she was done with my order? Or what was going on? So, I asked if I was done and if she needs anything else from me? She gave me a face of annoying grin and said no, bye! I thought that was the rudest costumer service ever! The buns are good, but service was horrible! With this type of service, I will pass on the buns!!! read more

This place is a joke. First the cashier needs to either find a new job or get an attitude adjustment. She is rude taking orders while playing on her phone at the same time. Unfortunately, she is also the only one working the place. I was the only person here. I paid for my order and waited 20 min to get one drink and signature bun. Yes the bun is delicious but not worth the poor service. There are plenty of other delicious foods available that don't come with an attitude. read more

This place is a joke and I will not be coming back. I ordered online and arrived for pick up when they said it would be ready(30 min). The girl working there was so rude acting like she didn't want to be there. I told Her I was picking up my order and she said ok, walked away and started making my order. Wait, what is the point of ordering ahead of time???? There were no other customers other than one lady who ordered coffee. I had to wait another 30 minutes for my order. She proceeded to just drop the bag of buns in front of me without saying anything and walked away. The whole time she was on her cell phone, in fact two customers walked in while she was on her phone and she kept talking on the phone while the customers were in front of her waiting for their order to be taken. Why is this place even open? read more

While searching for new coffee places I came across this place and since I was in the area, I had to stop in. While I did not get a coffee, I did order 2 of the Signature buns.

Warm and slightly crispy with a light coffee flavor on the outside and fluffy on the inside! Not too sweet, but perfect!! Can't wait to go back!! read more
