WOW! Contrary to other reviews, I had never heard of this chain before I stopped in today. It’s hard to find spots in this area open on weekend afternoon/evenings. I ordered an iced chai latte and signature bun and I will be telling all my friends and anyone who will listen about that signature bun. It was just the right balance of sweetness, with a crispy outside layer that crumbled and melted in your mouth. The inside was soft with a little bit of melted butter. I would go in again and again for that bun.Honestly the best part of the experience was the atmosphere. Families and friends were enjoying their meals, taking their time and chatting lively. The staff was incredibly friendly and kind while I was figuring out what to order. I cannot recommend stopping in enough!

This is the best bun-maska I've probably had and I have had a lot. The buns are soft and have a crunchy crust with a buttery and soft inside. There are different flavored options available but my personal favorite is the classic bun, it's pure delish. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. They have a whole spread of breakfast including falafel and wraps which were also good. The karak chai is great as well along with other flavors like Hibiscus tea. A superb place to go and enjoy a nice breakfast.

I just left the Rochester Hills location. The coffee and bun were delicious. I will return. However, if I endure the same rude young lady I will not come back to this location. She was nowhere to be found when I first entered. I did wait about 5 minutes before calling out “hello.” That wasn’t the issue for me but it must have been for her. I think I interrupted her duties in the back. She was very unfriendly. Never greeted me, no smile, nothing. I paid for my food. Thanked her three times from the time I completed my order and received my food. She did not reply with a you’re welcome. Icing on the cake- when I left she was working right next to the door and never offered a “have a nice day.” If you’re in this industry you’ve got to have some basic friendliness. Maybe she was having a bad day. I’ll try again- but only once more.

Had a very unfortunate situation, employees continued to be rude after manager was called. This is not the first time I've experienced bad costumer service here. I was over charged, employees argued about price for takeaway, the online price is cheaper. The manager ended up giving me the food free, there was a large bug in my salad. Will not be returning. I had been coming to this place 3 times a week, not anymore.

Made to order buns with unlimited flavor combinations! Really enjoyed them with the karak tea. Highly recommend!!

The food is outstanding!!

Went here after a heavy workout day ?Referred by a friend, and loved to see what it has to offer in this spot.The food tasted good, and acceptable, but I didn’t like the fact they didn’t offer plates at the beginning.Like their Chicken Shawarma, and shish kabobLike their special Tea, and the pastry was okay but not my favorite.I would recommend to give it a try

Yummy bread and place so cozy.like hanging around there with coffee.

Must try their scrumptious coffee buns and tea! Reminds me of the ones I’ve loved in Asia.

The google reviews didn’t disappoint me at all. We went there on a weekday evening. This place is very clean and the restaurant employees were very friendly. Ordered the famous buns and they tasted fresh and delicious. Definitely a good experience.
