On a sunny afternoon, I decided to visit Papparoti Brasserie, located at Broadwalk Mall, Ojijo Road, Nairobi, Kenya. As soon as I stepped inside, I felt completely welcomed by the warm atmosphere and the friendly staff. The aroma of freshly baked buns filled the air, teasing my taste buds as I approached the counter.
I was eager to try their famous coffee-caramel-coated bun, which I had heard so much about. I asked the attendant for recommendations, and I was pleasantly surprised by the gracious service from Carol, who suggested I pair my bun with a deliciously rich cappuccino. Taking her advice, I ordered the Signature Coffee Bun for KES 150 and a cappuccino for KES 250. I couldn’t wait to indulge!
While waiting for my order, I observed the staff interacting with other customers, and it was clear that service is a priority here. Many reviewers praised the waitstaff for their attentiveness, and I could see why. The café had a lively spirit, with a seamless flow of service. One review caught my attention: “The service was lovely! Big shout out to Edna! She was so polite and kind enough as to listen to the small complaint we had. Will 100% come back!”. Such positivity made me even more eager for my culinary experience.
When my order arrived, the beautifully plated coffee bun glistened with caramel, and I could already tell it would be a treat. I took my first bite, and the fluffy texture combined with that unique coffee flavor upended all my expectations. It was like a warm hug for my taste buds! As I enjoyed my bun, I noticed a family celebrating a special occasion nearby. The gentleman serving them, Juma, was providing exemplary service, checking in with them and engaging with the children—a testament to the wonderful team at Papparoti.
In addition to their buns, customers rave about the Platter for Two, which many described as generously portioned and delicious. One delighted visitor noted, “Platter for two is amazingly generous and delicious. Service level 💯.” It’s clear that diners here don't leave hungry, as the portions are designed for sharing and enjoyment.
To cap off my meal, I indulged in a dessert that was equally mouthwatering. Other reviews highlighted the delicious desserts offered, with multiple diners expressing their delight at trying various toppings on their buns. My experience mirrored theirs; I couldn't resist sampling a few toppings myself!
As I finished my meal, the pleasant experience at Papparoti Brasserie left a lasting impression. The combination of heavenly food, delightful ambiance, and attentive service from the staff made this visit unforgettable. I left with a happy heart, already planning my next visit. If you are in Nairobi and love delightful coffee and pastries, I highly recommend stopping by Papparoti Brasserie to try their remarkable offerings. You won’t regret it!
