We sampled the Kaya jam bun and the “works” bun, paired with a coffee hazelnut smoothie and hot karak milk tea. The milk tea was pleasantly sweet with subtle spice notes, while the smoothie was incredibly refreshing. The buns had a crispy, sweet exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. Definitely worth a visit!

I really enjoyed the Karak, and the Panini was decent, but I don't think it justified the prices or the long wait. There seemed to be a lack of organization and coordination among the staff. The barista appeared grumpy when I inquired about my food, as if he was only focused on serving beverages. Meanwhile, the food staff forgot about my order, which delayed everything further, and they ended up serving my order as dine-in when it was meant to be to-go. On the bright side, a Spanish-speaking girl was very nice, but the other staff member seemed indifferent. I was in a hurry, and honestly, for just warming up a sandwich, serving a soup, and pouring tea, with four people working there, it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes. The place looks promising at first glance, but it quickly disappoints once you're inside.

I also had the karak milk tea, which tasted great, although it was a bit too sweet for my liking. I think the customer service could be improved, as some of the staff didn't seem very friendly based on our limited interactions.

I remember visiting Papparoti as a deaf person, and they were very accommodating, writing notes to help with my order. This coffee shop is definitely deaf-friendly. I highly recommend it!
