The Bun Shop

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.

Literally the perfect bakery/cafe. They've got unique and original drinks and pastries, all of which are homemade in house. There drink menu is not only expansive but also absolutely delicious, featuring items such as the Hong Kong latte with earl grey tea and of course their signature Vietnamese drip coffee or cold brew, depending on if you order it hot or iced, with a shot of espresso and sweetened condensed milk. They also offer teas, for those who don't drink coffee, but I'm so obsessed with their iced mocha that I haven't had the opportunity to try any of them. Plus, an absolutely incredible indoor atmosphere with plenty of seating. I can't reccommend them enough. The only problem is that the bathroom... is in rough shape. It smells, the floor is constantly wet, and the sink hardware is in various states of disrepair every time I use it. Just avoid that and everything is great :

Cafe with very unique atmosphere and late night hours. Very cozy, free wifi, good drinks, lots of seating and outlets with street parking right outside. Perfect for night owl students

This is a unique coffee/tea/bun shop located on Read St. I went around 8p and it was packed but I was able to find a solo table/chair/outlet to do some work on my laptop. This cafe offers free WiFi but you must buy something to be able to use their facility. The barista was super friendly and made a great menu suggestion. I ended up getting the honey matcha latte hot and it was very delicious. The space is not your typical bright and updated shop. It’s eclectic with non-traditional work stations like couches, benches, random table/chair combos etc. As many reviews suggested, it’s dark inside which made it a little difficult for me to see as someone who wears glasses. Luckily, I was able to grab a seat under a lamp which helped a great deal. I appreciate this space though because it was very diverse patrons ranged from 20s-40s of different races/ethnicities and it stays open late!! I stayed until about 10p on a Monday but they don’t close until 3am daily 7a-3a 7 days per week. Soooo awesome. This is not a quiet study hall atmosphere so it may not be a good place for tasks that require quiet backgrounds like meetings or test-taking. Otherwise, I highly recommend this spot for late night study/work/lounge sessions and tasty lattes. I would give this a 5 if there were more seats that provided back support as well as reading lights to help the people that are 30+ like me lol.

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.
