The go to Haitian "pate" spot. Just the aroma of bread and patties baking when you pass by is enough to make you want to go in. Their patties have a special flaky and buttery crust. Poul (chicken) and the beef options are well seasoned, beef with chopped onions. Not oily. You can never go wrong with the fish. Yes the proportion of dough to meat is not totally ideal (we would all want more meat in our patties) but I feel they are ahead of many other places.
I was happy to see this mom and pop shop still thriving. Line out the door this past Christmas Eve. 30-45mn wait. People of all ages but mostly us Haitians supporting each other. Long time customers coming through, recapping with each other, tipping the workers on the way out. Speaks to the consistency of this place. And they don't just sell patties. Anything pertinent to Haitian cooking is sold here, from condiments, groceries to baked goods (bonbon lanmidon, langue palmier are my favs) and special drinks you don't get everywhere (AK100, cola champagne). Full meals are made here as well (stewed dishes, rice and peas). Just expect to take them to go.
In this heavily gentrified neighborhood, it's heartwarming to see an authentic and traditional establishment...
   Read moreThis place is amazing! I was at the FedEx and could literally smell it all the way down the road. The bakery was what was the most delicious smelling. I followed my nose and decided to pick up the pistache, and the soft white biscuits as well as the big flat palmier. Would love to know the real names if someone could tell me!
The older man behind the counter mostly speaks Haitian but we got along with my rusty French. The space is small and it's definitely a grab and go but it's never quiet or empty. All the food that I got was simply delicious to the extent that I will come back to try out all their other baked goods as well as their pate.
The pistache was heavy and had a kind of molasses on it with what tasted to me of rum.
The biscuits were incredible! They had a sweet and spicy combo with a hint of cinnamon to them and they are soft but have a home made cotton candy texture to them
The big flat thing is like a palmier but less flakey. Slightly sweet and would do well with tea and honey / jam on it
And everything is a dollar each! That's value that can't be beat....
   Read moreI love this bakery. I have been going there for I believe over 15 to 20 years. Their patties are flaky, juicy, and the fillings are so good because the seasoning is just right. Customer service is great also. I want to call this bakery THE BEST HAITIAN BAKERY IN BROOKLYN. Their patties are the real thing. Made at the bakery. If you want a good Haitian Pattie this is the place to go. I love their patties also because they are consistent. Their patties never change and that's what I love. I will differently recommend this bakery for real, delicious, authentic Haitian food. I give this bakery a 5 stars hands down.They...
