CRUMBS GOURMET PATTIES — Restaurant in Toronto

Crumbs Patties is a short walk from China Town in Kensington Market .

Crumbs Patties is not a traditional store and more of a stand. There is two chairs at the front of the stand for seating. When you are ready to order you can ask the person at the front of the stand and they will take your order.

I went to Crumbs Patties on a Sunday around 1:00 PM. There was about 3 other people there waiting for patties as well so it wasn't too busy.

Ordering: There is a menu on top of the stand you can look at. There is also a menu online you can look at. Essentially they have single patties, patty with coco-bread, patty with cheese + coco-bread and hot sauce, dressed patty with cheese coco-bread and hot sauce.

Cost: I paid around $8.32 including tax for one chicken patty with cheese and coco-bread. Overall pretty expensive for the average patty place.

Wait Time: There is one person working the register and making the food so it can take a little while to get your food. There was about 3 people ahead of me so it took like 20ish minutes to get my patty with coco-bread.

The Food: One chicken patty with cheese and coco-bread. I also got scotch bonnet sauce on it.

The chicken patty itself was not too tasty. There was a little bit of meat filling and the patty at the top looked burnt. The cheese did help a bit with the scotch bonnet sauce but overall I was not impressed with the patty itself. The coco-bread was really good, it was warm, almost buttery and was just really tasty. But it really didn't complement the patty

Overall: The atmosphere of the stand is alright, its in Kensington market where there are lots of food places, so it doesn't really matter if there's limited seating at the stand. The server was extremely nice and attentive. The food was okay but the price is not justified given that there is another patty place nearby selling for way less (and Chinatown is right there plenty of ways to spend...

We finally made it to Crumbs after hearing so many rave reviews, and wow… it absolutely lived up to the hype. They were sold out of their other flavours (a sign of how popular they are!), so we went for the regular beef patty — and it was phenomenal.

The filling is rich and deeply flavourful, perfectly seasoned to let the beef shine. The crust? Golden, flaky perfection — made with beef tallow, which gives it an incredible depth of flavour and texture. We even had the chance to meet the owner Pierre, who kindly shared a bit about how the pastry shell is made. You can taste the craftsmanship in every bite — truly a labour of love.

This has quickly become our go-to spot for patties, and we’re already planning a return trip to try their other specialties. Crumbs is an absolute must-try.
