As someone who enjoys exploring new culinary spots, I recently visited Papparoti Brasserie Kilimani, located in The Circle Mall, Kilimani. I was eager to experience this renowned café that has taken the world by storm since its inception in Malaysia in 2003.
Upon entering the café, the warm, inviting ambiance welcomed me. The scent of freshly baked coffee-caramel-coated buns wafted through the air, captivating my senses. It was a cozy afternoon around 3 PM, a perfect time to indulge in treats after a long day. The customer service immediately struck me; the staff was friendly and attentive, eager to help with the menu.
I decided to try the signature Papparoti bun, which received rave reviews online, and I ordered a cappuccino to complement it. The bun was beautifully presented, warm, and perfectly baked, with a delightful crisp exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. I must say, it lived up to its reputation – a perfect blend of sweetness and coffee flavor. The price was fair, approximately Ksh 250 for the bun, making it an affordable treat.
While enjoying my coffee-bun combo, I couldn’t help but overhear a delightful conversation from the couple beside me, who praised the exemplary service provided by Carol. One reviewer noted, “Had the best customer service, was served by Carol the best of the best, welcoming, she totally deserves a raise.” It was clear that Carol's presence made the experience even more special for guests.
Feeling adventurous, I also sampled the Papparoti coffee, another hot favorite among patrons. For about Ksh 200, it was rich and creamy, a great companion to my bun. The service was swift and warm; I could see why people were raving about it. One reviewer mentioned, “The food was delicious and well presented. The service was warm and friendly.” That sentiment echoed in my own experience.
Overall, my time at Papparoti was delightful, with every aspect carefully curated to ensure customer satisfaction. The great portions and quality of food made my visit worthwhile. From the ambience to the friendly service, I left thoroughly impressed and rejuvenated. One visitor mentioned the café's organization and elegance, noting, “I felt like I was in Japan. The café was well organized, decent, and nice smelling.” I could only agree.
If you're in the Kilimani area and craving something comforting yet unique, I highly recommend visiting Papparoti Brasserie. The bun is a must-try, and with fantastic service like that of Carol and Mbugua, you won't be disappointed.
All in all, my experience at Papparoti Brasserie Kilimani has solidified its place as a top spot in my local café guide. I certainly plan to return and indulge again!
