On a sunny afternoon, I decided to visit Papparoti Brasserie Kilimani, located at The Circle Mall, Kilimani. My friends had raved about their signature buns and exceptional service, and I was eager to experience it all for myself. The cafe, known for its unique coffee-caramel-coated bun, has become a sensation since its inception in Malaysia in 2003, with outlets spiraling across the globe.
As I walked into the charming venue, I was greeted by the pleasant aroma wafting from the kitchen accompanied by a warm smile from the attendants. The atmosphere was vibrant yet relaxing, making it the perfect place to unwind. I had arrived around 2 PM, and the space was comfortably filled with customers enjoying their meals.
After perusing the menu, I decided to try the renowned Konafa, which had received glowing reviews. I was not disappointed! The Konafa was a delightful blend of sweet and savory, well-presented, and simply delicious, living up to the high expectations set by previous visitors. Many had mentioned that the food here is not just good, but platters are indeed generous, with one review stating, 'Good customer service, portions are 💪🏾 and the drinks were nice'.
Special mention goes to Carol, one of the waitstaff, who provided outstanding service. In fact, a fellow diner said, 'Had the best customer service, was served by Carol the best of the best, welcoming, she totally deserves a raise'. It’s always a plus when the staff goes above and beyond to make your experience memorable.
As I sipped on a refreshing drink, I couldn’t help but notice the ambiance around me. There were laughter and light conversations, creating a welcoming atmosphere that felt like home. One patron commented, 'The food was good, service good, ambience good. 10/10'.
Before leaving, I couldn’t resist indulging in Papparoti's signature bun, perfectly baked with a soft fluffy center and a tantalizing coffee-caramel coating. The bun melted in my mouth, making me appreciate why this dish has garnered a faithful following globally. A fellow customer even praised the food, stating, 'It was my second time, I loved everything – the desserts and the employees'.
Overall, my visit to Papparoti Brasserie Kilimani was an unforgettable experience. Between the fantastic service, delicious food, and inviting atmosphere, I’ll definitely be back for more. This cafe is truly a gem in Kilimani, catering to both the palate and the heart!
