The Bun Shop Reviews

The honey macchiato here is delicious! It’s sweet, but not too sweet. The atmosphere here is also very relaxed and the staff is friendly. I also ordered the breakfast bun and while it’s didn’t feel like my cup of tea I could see why others like it so much. I think next time around I’ll try some of the other buns that they have instead.

The first thing that might attract you to this shop is the fancy gold leaf window sign. Once you open the door, what will keep you there are the amazing smells and the chill atmosphere. I had an iced vietnamese coffee, a rotiboy and a breakfast bun. My coffee was delicious and perfect for the warm weather. The rotiboy was soft and flaky and had a delicate sweetness to it that I really enjoyed paired with my coffee. The breakfast bun was delicious as well. First off everything smelled amazing! It was filled with eggs, a little bit of peppers and onions and steak. Service was great as well. It was my first time here and the fellow behind the counter gave me the bun suggestions. Will make it a point to visit here whenever I am in the area.

We had the hot cinnamon spice tea which was a fantastic blend of cinnamon, clove and orange peel. We also tried almost all the pastries and every single one of them were perfectly flaky or had just the perfect bite. No jarring flavors, all had a unique taste and texture to it. Totally a must try if you’re in the area. Ambience is chill with lofi beats playing in the background with dim lighting, perfect for relaxed conversation and studying.

I wish I could give this place zero stars. The atmosphere is quiet which is nice and good for studying. It’s very grunge looking and kind of dirty, though. Their chai latte absolutely abhorrent. It was the nastiest chai i’ve ever had. I don’t think it was chai, more of a brown water. It’s as if the barista made no effort to make it. Even when it came time to receive some service, he and the other employee were just chatting like a customer wasn’t present. Very terrible experience customer service wise and taste wise. 0/10. I won’t ever return and I don’t recommend anyone else to either.

Great turnover (I’m definitely coming back to try a rotiboy!) and latte with fantastic atmosphere. Moody, eclectic, artsy, with stuff that’s a bit worn, repurposed, and well-loved… So nice. Plus ample seating and free WiFi!

Little diluted coffee. Too dim light in the cafe. Not many options of buns. However, buns were super delicious !!!

Can’t give it more than 3 stars because there were ants on the counter where they left our food/drinks to be picked up. Unfortunate because otherwise Great coffee and pastries (both savory and sweet). We got the tikka roti and the roti boy. Both were excellent. Cool atmosphere with interesting furniture and decorations.

This place is such a gem! You walk in and you get the sense that you are in an eclectic living room. The decor is so visually interesting and you can find little details everywhere you look. There are some board games, chess and much more. The coffee & team menu is extensive. The owner is such a genuine and kind spirit. He’s extremely helpful and such a pleasure to interact with. I’ve tasted 2 of the savory pastries (chicken curry and a tomato one) – both were excellent. I also had a lavender lemonade which was so full of flavor and underlying hints of rose.
The pastries are freshly made on-site. In fact, if you go late enough, you might see the large platters being made.
I definitely plan to go back and hang out to do some work. There are varied seating types – you’re sure to find one that’s comfortable for you. Come get a coffee and stay for the ambiance.

I really enjoy coming here to study/work on things. There’s ample seating, though sometimes tricky to find an outlet if you need to charge your device. The coffee is pretty good and I enjoy the buns! The aesthetic is also moody and interesting.

This cafe is one I’ve been going to for an entire year off and on. The staff is so kind and the atmosphere is amazing. It’s so peaceful and a great place to study/work. The buns they sell are very unique and yummy. There is room for a lot of people and it is a great place to spend the evenings and nights.
