    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.

    This is one of my favorite spots in Rochester! The staff are stripe friendly, service is amazing, and their roti buns are such a unique and cool experience! I love that we have something like this in metro Detroit and wish more people knew of this amazing place! Coffee is also delicious and the interior is really beautiful and welcoming.

    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!

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.

    Went there this morning and was charged $.89 cents for a cup of water. I asked the employee at the…read morewindow (who I now assume is a manager) kindly if the policy had changed as I hadn't remembered being charged before and she immediately jumped on the defense and snippily said "well if you have been getting it for free then the employees are in trouble because they aren't allowed to do that" etc. Like... I was asking a valid question, no need to immediately jump on the defense, just answer the question. I thought water was free so I called corporate to ask about this policy and ask why a massive corporation like them feels the need to nickel and dime customers for a cup of water. I can understand paying 10 to 20 cents for the cup, but almost a dollar? Corporate confirmed my suspicion and informed me that the restaurants should NOT be charging for cold water. They are allowed to charge if it was hot water, it was not. So not only was the manager wrong, but she was rude to me about it too. Not returning to this or maybe any other Tim's locations if this is how they treat their customers. I also didn't appreciate how she immediately blamed the employees and spoke negatively about them to a customer, implying that they have done something wrong (when they haven't) especially since SHE is the one who is incorrect. I apologize to the kind employees I have met who have to work with this lady, you all are very nice. This potential manager is the first bad employee I have interacted with here. Edited to add: A male manager called and doubled down on everything and said the rude employee was in the right and they have been charging for water for 2 years. Unsure where the disconnect is between the franchises and corporate as I am getting different information from both. That seals the deal, I'm done with Tims. Good to know you think it's okay for the employees to be rude to customers as well.

    My family has been going to saint 1881 mostly every Sunday for probably close to a year now. We…read morereally enjoyed it, but within the past few months, the service is not as good as it used to be. It seems that every time we've gone in the past few months, that something was missed in our order. My dad has always gotten the same thing, but it's been messed up so many times that he decided to change his order today. For instance we've ordered the breakfast burrito, and the eggs had been forgotten in it like 3 different times. It seems that when we ask for small changes to our order that maybe the cooks are overlooking it. It's kind of frustrating when you start to enjoy a place, and it's not consistent anymore. I'm not sure why it changed. But when you have regular people, that don't have a problem with any staff, start saying things I think it needs to be noticed. I hope what is said is taken as constructive criticism, because I do want this restaurant to do well.

    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.
