Essentially a Very expensive dry donut for $9. Service was ok. Ambiance is typical of a strip mall coffee shop. The plexiglass barrier between the workers and the patrons is ridiculous. Not impressed. read more

Heaven. Absolutely nothing but Heaven... is all that comes to mind with the first bite. My God! I got the oreo bun. I was struggling to not make my sex face while enjoying this wonderful pastry. It's light and sweet and the experience of eating it is 100% magical. I got 2 more to take home. Big back here I come. read more

As someone not native to MI, I thought it'd be fun to try this place out. I arrived around 3pm with absolutely no one, patronize-wise, in store. I proceeded to get the signature bun and Karak tea. Respectfully, neither are worth their price. My bun was burnt on the bottom and I questioned the hype the entire time I ate it. The tea was hot, too hot even, which is nice for a drive but the flavor was ehhh. I don't get the excitement for this place. If you're like me and in Michigan for a short time, pass this spot. It's not something I'd ever come back for. read more

Came here to get dessert with the family. The service was really quick, as we were the only patrons there. Ambiance was nice, as well. The actual dessert was good! Definitely something to check out if you're in the area. read more

Amazing coffee and their pastry bread is amazing! I would fly back to MI just for those!

Different from your typical American coffee shop because it is Malaysian. Beside coffee they have tea and horlicks, also coffee buns. If you never tried it before, staff is always eager to help and explain the menu to you, so you have nothing to worry about. Coffee buns, is a perfect circle that has a shell on the outside but soft on the inside. But it is nothing to rave about. read more

Found this place a few years ago when looking for somewhere to meet up with friends. I've been back only a handful of times throughout these years and it NEVER MISSES!!! Always delicious!!! The interior is small and it gets pretty busy so depending on the day and time you may not find seating. I've not ran into this problem yet so do not let that deter you! They also usually have a good range of music playing at an acceptable volume. Prices seem a little much but portions are huge and again, VERY worth it! In the picture I order a Mona Lisa sans the banana and caramel sauce. They were out of vanilla and used strawberry icecream instead and it was still amazing! . TRY THIS PLACE!! I took a star off because I had to request for the table to be cleaned. They did it no problem. I think due to their volume of customers it's easy for that to get away. Again, nbd. TRY IT!!!!! read more

Love Papparoti!! My favorite is the specialty tea (karak) and a plain bun, though runner up is certainly honey and cheese I think the buns are so good that any toppings just muddies the water, so to speak My daughter had the ginger milk which is for true true ginger lovers- very potent read more

Papparoti US - Ginger Milk, Karak Tea & bun with Cheese and Honey - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Farmington Hills, Michigan

Delicious Malaysian brand bread with cookie layer topping, but the price was just ridiculously high, especially if you know how much more affordable these breads are in Asia. One original/classic bread was basically $5 (as of Sept 2023) while the "fancy" kind with toppings was $9. With that said, the bread itself was yummy with salty buttery filling on the inside and nice coffee flavor on the cookie sheet on the top. But again, the price was just too steep, making the bread not as accessible as I'd hope them to be. read more

I enjoyed the bun which was delicious and different. Many items on the list were unavailable which was a bummer. They didn't have regular water but only bottled water which I thought was a law that restaurants should give you water if you ask but they said they didn't have tap water. If you haven't been here, definitely need to check it out. Hoping to go back to try the stuff which was unavailable. read more

First timer at papparoti but it definitely won't be the last! They had me at their signature bun's crispy outer layer, soft fluffy center with melty butter in the middle. Mind blown. Coffee and chai options are great! I appreciate their casual ambiance with free wifi to do work on your laptop. Service is quick and courteous! Definitely will come back to this location. Tried another location since my first time trying them out, and I would still pick the Farmington hills location first. read more

Papparoti US - White Chocolate Latte with 1 Piece Signature Bun - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Farmington Hills, Michigan

I surely happy to find a place to get a coffee buns here in Michigan. The signature coffee buns deserve a four stars. It's surely delicious, buttery and fragrant with coffee flavor. It's similar to my favorite Roti Boy that I found in my home country. I've been coming back to this place whenever I'm in Michigan. Unfortunately, I'm disappointed with the service on my last two visits. On my previous visit, I wanted to order 6 buns, but only allowed me to order 4 signature buns and had to wait about 20 minutes. They told me to call and order ahead if I want 6 buns. On my next visit, I decided to call ahead and ordered 6 buns. I was told my order will be ready in 20 minutes. I came to pick up my order in a hour and 15 minutes after my call and was told that my order is not ready. I was told that I didn't come in 20 minutes after my call and now I had to wait 15 minutes. Seriously??? Also, apparently I can't redeem my rewards of Teri signature buns at the same day. I was only allowed to redeem one and had to come back on my next visit since they don't have enough buns. Well, as good as the buns is, I will not come back here due to poor customer service. This will be my last visit here. read more

Papparoti US - Coffee Buns - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Farmington Hills, Michigan

This place is very unusual to me. I believe I found it randomly through my Instagram feed. I wasn't sure what to make of their desserts. They look like donuts but with no holes in the center and accompanied with various sweet toppings. To get a better idea of the brand, I took this excerpt directly from the cafe's website: "Papparoti first brought its unique and delicious snack concept to Malaysia in 2003. The brand's success was sealed thanks to the authentic and memorable taste of the coffee-coated buns accompanied with delicious beverages." Essentially they offer hot buns with coffee, tea, and fruit drinks. I'm impressed with what the menu offers and the one visit is not nearly enough to get a grasp of everything they offer, but it was good enough to want to come back for more. Just a recommendation, they make an amazing London fog, which I recently learned originated in Canada. Go figure! read more

Puffy, fluffy cake. Mmm. I ordered nuts for Nutella sans whip cream. $7.94 for this bun cake. Their card reader isn't working at all. The staff has to manually put the card number in on their iPad. A bun takes about 10 minutes, they have a lot of online orders. They are quite busy, rather busy. Too busy to bus and clean the tables. We bussed our own table and used a semi-clean napkin and the hand sanitizer to clean off the table. It's a big fluffy airy bun cake. The Nutella, hazelnuts and banana are nice accompaniments for sure. It had a nice crunchy outside exterior and soft and billowy inside. The outside reminds me a bit of the macaron, not as smooth of a texture, but the crusty outside as you bit into it's surprisingly chewy and giving insides. read more

I really love this bakery and coffee/tea shop! I've visited a few times last summer and have always had a good experience. I don't know what they are putting in their coffee buns, but the aroma itself will have you wanting to buy several of them! They all come with different toppings depending on what you order. Now, I definitely need to try some more items because of the three times I've visited, I've only tried one item, the Mona Lisa! It tastes great + who doesn't love strawberries, bananas and chocolate. Now I wouldn't come here expecting a quiet coffee shop because whenever I've visited this location, there were several conversations going on and you can hear every detail of each of them, so I wouldn't come here to study or anything. The staff are super nice and don't mind explaining anything for you if you need any help so you don't feel any pressure if you have no idea what to order. They have an app and coupons, although I've never used either of them. I do think it's a great extra they provide. I'll definitely try the "Nutz for Nutella" bun soon! Tell all your friends about this place and include plenty of jokes about how they have to eat some of their buns! read more

Paparoti is our family's favorite spot in the Farmington area. It's clean store with a decent ambience. This Malaysian chain has nearly 450 stores world wide. Nice little place with a variety. Ordered Mono Lisa and Icloud, both were perfectly done and tasted wonderful. Mono Lisa is our family favorite and we get it every time we go. This is our regular spot and the taste has been consistently good always. We love their buns, super soft inside and crispy exterior crust. Its always fresh and hot as they prepare only after you place the order. As it's prepared fresh, be prepared to wait for your order. I have always seen this store being very busy. I am not big fan of tea but have heard their signature Karak tea with cardamom is really good. Good service. We always stop by when we are in that area. Aahar, famous Indian restaurant and Indian grocery are near this place so its almost busy, especially during the weekends. Shared parking space. I am really looking forward to returning and I highly recommend! read more

I met up with a friend here before going to Aahar next door. My friend got the Karak tea and specialty bun and he was quite pleased with it. I got a chai tea latte and a Cinna-Bun and it was delicious. This place is usually rather busy and this was one of the rare occasions that it wasn't packed, so I was happy we were able to find a table. I will definitely come back again for a bun and tea. read more

I discovered Papparoti from the Detroit Yelp IG so shout out! I've had something similar to this in SoCal almost 10 years ago but PappaRoti's bun is even better. The signature bun is basically a beautiful piece of carb that has a hint of coffee flavor. The CONTRAST of texture and flavors is what makes it stand out. The texture -- there's a light crispy layer at the top which is a nice contrast to the soft, fluffy inside! The flavor -- it's a sweet bun but there's a pat of salted butter which is a beautiful bit of sweet & salty! I ordered the signature combo which came with Karak Tea (aromatic indian spices and herbs combined with condensed milk, cardamom and premium quality saffron). If you love chai, you'll love this too! Papproti apparently has 100s of locations throughout the world so they really have the goods down to a science. The space itself is pretty cozy & although you order at the register & grab a table, they bus the tables quickly & keep it clean! read more

Papparoti US - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Farmington Hills, Michigan

In Michigan, it's difficult to find a dessert place that isn't ice cream or donuts. Thankfully, we have had a surge of frozen yogurt as well. There's nothing wrong with ice cream and donuts, but you sort of get tired of eating the same kind of desserts all the time. Papparoti was just sort of a place that I discovered through tireless Yelp searching. After dinner on weekends, I tend to crave dessert. I always look for something delicious and unique. When I used to live in Southern California, there was always a new, unique, and more often than not, delicious dessert place I haven't tried yet. I always struggle to find that sort of place here in Michigan. Thankfully, Papparoti just opened up about 5 months ago, at least according to one of the employees. The bread they serve started with a small family in Malaysia, when a mom decided to make a different version of Roti Buns. And omg did it pay off. The outside is this crispy, crunchy texture with coffee and caramel. In the inside is so warm, soft, fluffy, and creamy. The inside has this delicious custard inside! I decided to be really basic and get the PB & J (had too much sugar that day). However, I highly recommend getting the Mona Lisa. It comes with ice cream on top, a banana, a sliced strawberry, whip cream, and the way all of those flavors and textures blend is just perfection. Pair the buns with a nice cup of tea and it's absolutely sublime. Everything is made fresh to order, so there is a little bit of a wait. But trust me, it's well worth it. read more

Oh. my. goodness. This is the place you MUST TRY. Their treats are delicious and crispy and fluffy, the buns are adorable and the amount of options they have are ridiculous! A little background on this place since I did my research, there are a few around the globe and this one is the first of its kind in America! Explains why it's always so busy. Now as for the bun, it is addictive. Honestly. We were helped by Youssef and he was so kind and knowledgeable about everything there was to offer. We opted in for the combo and a mona lisa. The bun alone without anything is already great but add some toppings? you are 100% going to be hooked. Prices are as expected with these sort of hipster places, anywhere from $5-10 for a person. Really inexpensive for quality goods. As for the little cafe area, it is meticulous. Super clean despite how busy it gets and as soon as you walk in you smell the fresh tea and buns baking. If you with friends or just catching up with someone, you would love this. read more

I came here because I really wanted some strong tea and a snack. On their website they have a special which is Karak tea (chai) and a signature bun for $5-$6 but when I went there the sign said it was only for coffee and on weekdays only. I got a medium karak and the signature bun to go. I paid full price for each since it wasn't a part of the deal. I think the total was close to $11. I waited a few minutes while they warmed up the bun to order. The bun is slightly sweet and buttery. The crunchy coating makes it more interesting to eat. The tea was strong and flavorful, slightly sweet. It's like a proper Indian chai. The cafe itself it's fairly small. There was another person there working on their laptop but I'm not sure if I personally could set up shop there to do some laptop work just because the music was fairly loud. I would say this place is a nice treat. It is kinda pricey for what it is but if you need good tea and a nice snack, it's perfect. read more

Went to treat my parents to something nice. Was pleasantly surprised. Went on the menu to check out the options beforehand. Heard great things about Paparoti. So Paparoti is a Malaysian franchise that is independently owned. A cool concept. We went during Quarantine so we couldn't go inside. We called to make an order. We ordered the malted chai, two orders of regular tea and honey Papa. They were very busy with orders. We did communicate we would be outside. Time passes by and while we were right outside they did not get to us. Called after 20 mins, they had our order ready. It was a miscommunication it is custom that people call to pick up. The tea was very good and flavorfull if your into spice chai then this is really your cup of tea. It was a little sweet for my taste especially with the sugar but I could appreciate all the spices. The Papa was the star though just by itself it was great. Light and fluffy with a hint of coffee. They do have other options like Nutella and whipped creme but honestly it's all about the Papa. Picture was after it was mostly eaten. read more

Loved this place so much! It is clearly very popular- we went on a Sunday morning and many people were constantly coming in to order boxes of buns. The regular bun is just amazing- the right amount of buttery and sweet. The karak tea is also great- both are lovely to order for a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack.

Wow am I ever glad I stumbled into this place!! I was in the area looking for a coffee shop because I had about a half hour to kill. Yelp brought me here and man do I wish I lived closer!! Papparoti is an international chain with locations literally all around the world, and this is their first location in the entire US! Not sure why Farmington Hills, MI was on their radar haha, but we certainly did luck out that it was! This is basically an Indian coffee shop. For a drink, I went with their recommendation and got a mango milkshake (I'm assuming basically mango lassi). It was amazing. I also got the Early Tweet Ashta bun, which was their signature bun topped with honey and an Indian whipped cream. It was FANTASTIC. I need to make the drive and go back a bunch more times!! read more

I really wanted to like this place but I just couldn't. The staff weren't the most friendly, we walked in 45 minutes before close and we were told dine in was closed but we could do carry out but when the owner over heard me say "let's just go elsewhere" he changed his mind and let us dine in. We were a group of 6 people so we really wanted to sit down and enjoy our desserts together. I had the fruit dessert and honestly it was just like a fruit syrup on a piece of bread. It was nothing special. And the iced coffee was okay.. we will not be back! read more

I've come a couple times and have had mixed experiences, but overall, very positive! The first time I came in the middle of the week during the afternoon. They were making the buns fresh and omgosh it was so delicious!! I ordered the signature combo with the bun and karat tea. The bun was crunchy and had a slight coffee flavor on the outside and was soft and buttery on the inside. The tea was AMAZING. So much flavor and it pair perfectly with the bun. The staff was super friendly and very passionate about the company and their products. I ordered a Good Morning Kaya to take home to the hubby. He couldn't taste any coconut flavor which was disappointing. The second time SC and I swung by on a weekend night. The place was pretty packed (we snagged the second to last table!). I ordered the signature combo again and SC ordered the Basca-Bun. My bun this time was definitely not fresh and was a bit overbaked- the texture and flavor wasn't the same. The Basca-Bun was pretty tasty though- the combination of the toffee sauce, crushed Parle-G biscuits and walnuts was perfect. Overall, it's a comfortable space with delicious buns (when fresh!) and tea. read more

Ventured here per suggestion of a friend and am happy to report this place is great for tea lovers! While not spacious it's obvious that customers love to come here with family and friends to have some tea and eat a signature bun "naked" or with extra toppings. This is just one of the many locations that they have worldwide. The signature bun has butter and is flaky on the inside - there is a coffee icing baked into the outside- so it has a nice firm crust. This bun is delicious as it is and they also offer it with a variety of toppings. They have a custom tea mixed with milk and sugar which is good- no substitutions though as it is premade. They have a variety of tea drinks available though. (And coffee.) they do have almond milk available for those non dairy folks. Nice spot, wish it were closer to my path - but definitely somewhere I will go again. read more

Signature Bun was awesome. It was little buttery inside and crispy outside. Perfect combo with the tea. Next time will try other items as well. Milkshake was also really good.

I kind of stopped writing reviews, but when I find somewhere that's so amazing, I need to share! So I ordered their Signature Combo which I think if you haven't been here yet and love tea, this is the way to go. This way you can taste the buns true self and honestly you're going to come back and try something else because they do have all these amazing different ways of eating them with toppings and sauces. A few toppings that I'm excited to try next time are Ashta (Mediterranean Cream), honey, chocolate sauce, apricot jam and pistachio ice cream just to name a few. Ok so back to what I ordered The Signature Combo which was a Signature Bun with Karak Tea. The bun tastes exactly like the description they give. Crisp & crunchy caramel coffee on the outside. Soft, buttery and rich in the inside. So amazingly delicious! The Karak Tea was hot and it's description is Indian spices & herbs combined with whole milk. Cardamom & premium quality saffron. Such a treat on a cold day! My daughter ordered the Signature Bun with Strawberry Jam and a Chocolate Milkshake. I tasted the milkshake and it was delicious! They also have other tea drinks, coffee drinks, Pappauccino (ice blended), smoothies, milkshakes and fresh juices. The possible owner and chef was very friendly & I'm going to call him chef because I did witnessed him pipping a sauce on top of some buns. Anyways he made sure to tell me about the reward program they have and signed me up, good thing since I'll be back with others! He also stopped by every single table eating there and asked how everything was. He told me this is the first and only one in Michigan so far, which to that I say I'm glad you picked this area close to me!! I'm very confident there will be more soon opening in other areas but until then go check them out, you'll be glad you did!! read more

The first cafe and bakery of its kind in the area. Papparoti opened 6 months ago and they specialize in fluffy inside, crispy outside buns. And their own signature coffee roasts and chai blends. Buns are identical without filling, the varieties differ only in their toppings. I'd recommend the Early Tweet, seen in picture $5.50. They offer a signature combo, including their bun and specialty Karak (chai blend tea) for $5. Karak is blended with condensed milk, saffron, and cardamom. Overall: 5/5 Novi's newest cafe. Free WiFi, ask for the password. Enjoy your Papparoti bun :) read more

Truly a hidden gem- Papparoti is an international chain that is known for their incredibly delicious sweet buns. I merely stumbled upon it from a food instagram account and come to find out, the only location in the US so far is here in Michigan. We went on a Sunday evening and they were definitely busy, which makes sense since the buns are amazing. They are so unassuming and simple looking, yet perfectly fluffy, featuring a sweet and salty dough flavor on the inside, covered in this perfect sugary crust. I honestly don't know how to describe this well aside from the fact that they are delicious. We got the "Mona Lisa" version that was topped with chocolate and caramel drizzles, strawberries, Banana, whipped cream and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Perfect to split between two people. We also got a cup of their Karak Tea which was a really soothing, milky chai tea. It was a perfect cap to the weekend. Above all, despite how busy it was, I was really appreciative of how kind the entire staff was. There were a lot of people, and the inside of this place was pretty warm as they were baking fresh buns, but they were attentive to every guest and every one of their requests. It just made me feel happy and I truly love places like that. read more
