    One of the young men bagging up the food. Bread pudding squares in the bottom right corner!!
    Whitley D.

    Ahhhhhh if you need a place to satisfy your carribean sweet tooth or even want something savory...THIS IS YOUR PLACE!! They have from their iconic bread pudding to the savory doubles!! Everything I have tried are DELICIOUS! Depending on the time you go it gets busy, but the service stays steady. The employees are efficient and are willing to make sure everyone is taking care of. I also make this a stop when I am about to leave NY to get some treats. Oh and the prices are very reasonable. Make sure you stop by and try something out!

    Black/Fruit Cake

    If I could give no stars This is the worse bakery ever. They think just because they have been around for a long time that they can treat the community however they want. There's no way to even contact by phone because the phone either rings out or they answer quickly place you on hold, and make it so you wait so long the phone just hangs up. With all of that my mother still wanted her birthday cake from Allan's because the the nostalgia only for me to go and get the cake early morning and by the time I got home it fell into itself! I paid $70 for a cake that clearly wasn't ready. It literally folded into itself and when I called trying to call I couldn't get ahold of them. Do better! You don't deserve to be in service with the way you treat the community that made you famous!

    Red Velvet Cake Slice
    Cassy B.

    This review is based solely on the red velvet slice. Came here with family for a quick dessert after dinner. I opted for the red velvet since it's my favorite cake. When I got home and took a bite I wish I had gotten two. SO moist and delicious. It's the most moist and fresh slice of cake I think I've ever had. My mother in law got some cheesecake and she loved it too, she said it was super light and fluffy. If you come here - try a slice of cake. Absolutely delicious.

    Dry flavorless bread.
    Tremaine R.

    Ordered the soft white bread, currant and coconut rolls via Door Dash because I was not in the mood to bake. My order arrived quickly. The rolls were delicious. They were sweet and moist but the bread was dry and tasted stale, definitely was not freshly baked bread! Doubt I'd return for the bread but would return for the rolls. Very disappointed with the bread!

    Beef Patty
    Miranda M.

    I had the opportunity to sample Allan's Bakery at an event and cannot recommend it more! The Codfish Balls were tasty, with a crisp fried layer shelling a lot of filling. If you don't like fish, you won't like this as the flavor is strong. The Codfish Patties however, were much more mild and included vegetable filling. The meat patties were the best in my opinion, with even flaky crust (although I wish they had more filling). I had never had Fruit/Black Cake prior to this, but I LOVED it. It was rich, yet not overly sweet, dense/moist but did crumble a little messily when sliced. I would come back here and recommend to anyone needing some light snacks that will be definitely be crowdpleasers.

    I was at an event this past week at the Little Carribean and they had the best snacks I've ever had in a long time. They had served beef, chicken patties and little Barbacalao bites that were super delicious. Even their vegetable patties tasted good and I don't like vegetables. I think a box of these would make a fantastic gift for Christmas or something to bring at a Christmas party if you don't want to cook. Everyone would definitely enjoy it!

    Friendly neighborhood bakery with passionate staff, great black cake. Sure was delicious and moist. Was looking for rum cake but fed my cravings with the succulent black cake.

    Currant roll
    Jahnavi U.

    Had to stop by this bakery after lunch this afternoon. My friend and I bought currant rolls here. They are $2.50 a piece which is a decent price. I love those currant rolls. My friend bought coconut rolls too which I will have to try next time. There wasn't much of a line today but usually there is so come early. The service was good. The ambiance is comforting... there were so many baked goods to choose from. I'll definitely be coming back for more currant rolls next time I'm in the area. They only accept cash as payment so make sure to bring some.

    Small Fried Bake

    A well know Caribbean staple located on nostrand serving delicious baked goods and island inspired eats. Although I've passed by this place too many times to count, the long lines always steered me away. However, I decided to stop by on a Friday morning at 8am before work and was lucky to only have 2 people ahead of me. I recommend knowing exactly what you wanna order before going because there's sooo many options and no one has time to wait while you decide at the counter. I obviously had to order their currant roll which is what they're mostly known for. I've never had one before and this might be my latest obsession. The crunch of the dough, the light tartness off the currant, and the sweetness of the cinnamon sugar was the perfect combo. I also got the codfish balls which were tasty and a veggie patty which I didn't care for. The bakery is cash only so come prepared or use the atm on site. Most items are under $5 tho so unless you plan to order one of everything, a twenty is usually more than enough. This is a take out spot only although I know they opened some sort of bar next door? So not sure what they have going on over there. Def worth stopping by!

    Bake and Codfish Sandwich (Bake & Saltfish)
    Lisette C.

    Now y'all know I love supporting local businesses and especially love supporting all things Caribbean. For this reason, Allan's is usually my go to for a good codfish and bakes sandwich. Usually the sandwich is stuffed with codfish but not this past Saturday. Maybe the cook forgot how we do it. It had barely any codfish. The bake was bit dark, too. Since I have usually had a good experience in the past, I'll try it again in hopes that it was just a bad day. As far as taste, that too, was off. It truly needed some salt and pepper.

    Whole Wheat Currant Roll
    Michelle O.

    02/18/23: Home of the current roll. One of the best ways to satisfy your sweet tooth. Allan's current roll is so moist, sweet without being overly sweet, and flaky crust all are perfect combo for each delicious bite! Their chicken patty is ok, not my favorite. But people, can we talk about their doubles. Pure deliciousness, a bit on the greasy side but awesomeness is each bite. I had the shrimp, well seasoned and totally tasty. Will always return for the current rolls and doubles.

    Cute outdoor space, indoor space is also open air
    Annie H.

    I've heard about this institution of a bakery for the longest time from my Brooklyn friends, and finally got to visit! While they don't offer any gluten-free offerings at the bakery, it doesn't mean that they now don't have an adorable spot (and event space with an amazing DJ if you're into Soca!) for drinks for us to hang out at, with a small food menu where they can do a couple items gluten-free in case you're craving a bite. We got here after an early brunch to start our day drinking early before the party got started ( they were setting up for a private event), and waitress was super nice, the space was cute and Instagramable, and the drinks were stroooooong, though a bit on the pricy side. Sadly, I could not review their famous, delicious pastries, but what I can see from everyone else's reactions, they look amazing, the price is right (if you head to the bakery, ordering it at the table will include quite the surcharge) and totally worth a try!

    When I saw that Allen's Bakery was joining with Yelp for pastry giveaways I actually screamed "YES! " I grew up eating their pastries and had to support my culture roots. You're required to wear your mask and social distance when you enter. They ask that you respect 5 ppl being served at a time which ppl do adhere too. I was given a patty, coconut and current rolls per elite Yelp agreement. In addition I bought a soft dough bread, 6 more current rolls and 4 more coconut rolls. The cashier was so helpful with getting my order together and advising cash only. I couldn't even wait to get home to eat my coconut roll. I satanized and tore it up before heading home. Allen has never disappointed me not even in my adulthood. I Mainer with every bite I took. Yummy! Try all the pastries at a time - I promise you won't regret the extra weight you put on.

    Radio Bakery is a very popular bakery in Brooklyn. This has been my second time and each time there…read morewas a line outside, however it moves quickly and the space inside is very small. Even though there is a line, you do not feel rushed or pressured to order quickly. On this visit we ordered plain croissant, chocolate croissant-fresh out of the oven, rhubarb croissant, black forest pastry and brown butter corn cake. The chocolate croissant was amazing. It is triple chocolate and cocoa powder is in the dough. It is filled with milk and dark chocolate, so creamy. The plain croissant was flaky and light. The brown butter corn cake was crispy and caramelized on the outside and soft and moist. The Black Forest croissant is a seasonal offering. It is made with their Triple Chocolate Croissant filled with chocolate cake and sour cherries and topped with mascarpone cream , Rhubarb & Custard Croissant . It is tart and sweet. The rhubarb is roasted and complimented with sweet vanilla custard. They all were excellent. Each were about $8. Highly recommend and don't let the line deter you .

    I came during a weekday at like 11 and there was still a line but it is what it is. Because it's so…read morebusy I feel a bit rushed when I go here. It's also difficult to see all the items since everyone is packed in a line even when you get into the store. The food itself: - cardamom bun was yummy, a bit too cardamom forward though. 3.5/5 - the pb and J croissant was cool, a bit too rich for my liking but I admire how different it was and I actually had to save this one for the next day and it was still good so 4/5
