    Bread purchased today from Allan's Bakery.

    I have purchased bread from this bakery on several occasions, and today's experience was no different, which prompted me to write this review. Although I am consistently told that the bread is baked fresh, it rarely tastes fresh. It is often very hard, dry and lacks consistency in both taste and size. Frankly, today was not eadible and was thrown in the trash. For bread priced at $4.95 per loaf, and considering the number of customers this bakery serves regularly, consistency and quality should be a priority. Unfortunately, after being disappointed too many times, I will not be returning.

    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.

    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!

    Beef Patty

    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.

    Dry flavorless bread.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Small Fried Bake
    Erika P.

    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

    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!

    Mia's has become my go-to for when I'm looking for a sweet treat or looking to gift someone some…read moresweet treats. Every item I've tried has been delicious. I keep on returning back for their flan. This time, I tried their fruit napoleon and it definitely hit the spot. Their cookies are also super fresh for gifting to folks or hosting. The spot itself is spacious and the service is wonderful. I like that they have outdoor seating as well for summer nights. It's become a regular spot for us when we're craving a sweet treat!

    There are some places that become part of your family's story, and Mia's Bakery is one of ours…read more We've been coming since the day it opened on Smith Street, and everything we've tried, the rainbow cookies, the tres leches, the cheesecake, has been wonderful. But this review is about something bigger than dessert. The strawberry cheesecake here reminds me of my mom. It was her favorite, and it was one of the last desserts I got to share with her. Anytime she wanted a sweet treat, that's what she asked for. Ordering it now keeps me connected to her. This past July, on her 3rd birthday in heaven, I placed an order to celebrate her. The menu only had cherry cheesecake that day, so I wrote a note explaining what the strawberry meant to me. The staff didn't just make it happen, they sent an extra slice of strawberry cheesecake on top of it. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. The people here have always been this kind. We love everyone who works there, and we're grateful for the small moments of care they've shown our family. Thank you for everything.
