PappaRoti — Restaurant in Vancouver

This morning, I found myself needing to use the washroom, so I went to the café. As soon as I walked in, I noticed there was a keypad for restroom access; I then asked one of the girls if I could use it. She replied that it was only available for customers, suggesting that I would need to make a purchase first in order to use the restroom. I simply responded, "Sure, I'll buy something after using the restroom." I could see her expression was unfriendly, and she reluctantly made her way to the restroom to enter the code on the keypad. I thanked her, but she didn’t reply to my gratitude. Upon entering the restroom, I heard two guys chatting loudly as if they were nearby. I looked up at the ceiling and noticed it was wide open, connecting to the kitchen where those two staff members were working. For a brief moment, I wondered if there were any hidden cameras up there. After I left the restroom, I went to the counter and ordered a medium-sized tea, which cost around $5 and, in my opinion, seemed like a small cup. I wasn’t very impressed with either the tea or the overall experience at the café. They could have easily put up a sign saying "no public restroom use." The girl's demeanor could have been more pleasant; just imagining her in my situation of needing a restroom. How a little kindness can go a long way in making a good or...

A Hidden Gem That Never Disappoints!

I stumbled upon PappaRoti Café & Bakery on Canada Day, and it instantly became one of my favorite places in the city. The festive atmosphere, adorned with lights and a proud Canadian flag, made it a perfect vibe to celebrate the day. I was completely intrigued and mesmerized by how welcoming and beautifully set up the space was.

What truly sets this place apart are the unique and mouthwatering recipes—everything from their signature buns to the iced Karak tea is pure comfort in a cup. The flavors are distinctive and delicious, they make every visit feel special.

The owner is absolutely lovely, and the staff always greet you with warmth and kindness. Their hospitality is consistent, and each time I come here, I walk away with a great experience and a happy heart. You can tell they care deeply about their customers and their craft.

Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a cozy catch-up with friends, PappaRoti delivers. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a spot that combines exceptional food, inviting ambiance, and...

✓Update - Jan. 16, 2019. A small cup of JJ bean coffee at $1. Special promotion. I don't know how long it will continue.

I drop by in the morning for a cup of coffee to kill my time until my company opens. Coffee is brewed with JJ beans. They also sell JJ beans. That's why I began to go. I was expecting some Luciano Pavaroti songs or some Italian songs once in a while, but the morning music is all kpop which I don't hate. The mood and warmth and the servers are good. I hope they would change the genre of music once in a while. The Morning Fix - a bun and medium coffee is $6 until 10 am. No matter how good it might be, it is too expensive for a simple breakfast. They should develop a cheaper breakfast to attract people. How about a muffin and small coffee at $2.50?

(Update) The music selection has been improved to include many other songs. They have a point system to get a free coffee after 10 points. Each transaction is one point. I am not sure if you can get bakery with points. They often put out sample coffee bun for tasting. The staffs are very...
