Papparoti now featured in blogTO

PappaRoti specializes in sweet Malaysian caramel coffee buns, rather than (as I first suspected) the savoury Caribbean- and Indian-style roti curry wraps that Toronto knows and loves so well.

Unlike the flagship location in Vancouver, this Toronto Papparoti is relatively small and unassuming. Once inside there’s a surprisingly amount of space, USB outlets and even a larger meeting-style table at the back.

Inside PappaRoti, home of Malaysian coffee buns

PappaRoti (270 Spadina, at Dundas, papparoti.ca) is a Malaysian snack chain with 400 locations all over the world, from Dubai to Durban to Bangalore – and, now, Toronto.

After a few years developing a following in B.C. and hosting a pop-up in Bramalea City Centre last year, the chain has settled in Chinatown. A second Ontario location in Mississauga’s Square One is on the way.

Where to get FREE ice cream sandwiches in Vancouver this weekend

Malaysian coffee bun chain PappaRoti has announced the addition of one seriously sweet item to their menu starting this Friday.

The new Coffee Bun Ice Cream Sandwich is a combo of this spot’s signature crispy-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside bun, stuffed with ice cream varieties such as matcha, black sesame, and Italian lemon pastry to name a few.
