This bakery brought back serious childhood memories! The last time I visited a Naraine's bakery was in Guyana when I was a child.

Read moreI started going here a couple months ago. Don't live in the area, but heard good things about this bakery. I haven't been disappointed since trying most of the delicious bakery items. Real back home taste that I grew up with. Brings back childhood memories. Marilyn, the supervisor/manager is so sweet. Keep this lady.. dont let her go...She is very helpful and always pleasant. Others at the front are also helpful. It's always busy there...ppl getting their guyanese fix for their week/weekends and other functions. Everything is always fresh.. Baked on the spot. Pastries are not heavy and oily...not too much sugar added...like some other guyanese bakeries. So very happy to have found this place. Excellent..Excellent... Their recipe is right on ... same taste as Demico House...stabroek market bake shop, Bookers snack bar...etc... In the late 60s and 70s.. Thank you Naraine's Bakery..please...
Read moreWent yesterday for the first time. Really fresh, baked daily. I bought enough pastries to drop off at 3 different relatives homes. They all agree it was better than they tasted else where. I also liked that you can do bulk order once you give them a day's notice as it will helpful for family functions. In addition to the pastries, I got the cheese flap which was really good as well.
