I always pass by this spot when I'm on Flatbush Avenue near the Junction, but I'd never gone in until now. I was craving doubles since I hadn't had them in a while, and y'all... they were so good. I thought maybe they tasted that amazing because it had been so long, but my little brother loved them too and even wanted more. The next time I'm on the Junction, I'm definitely stopping by again for doubles and to try more of their Trinidadian food. It's a small spot where most people grab their food to go, but there is some seating if you want to sit and eat right away. read more

This was delicious! I must say giving them 4 stars kinda sucks but everything was good except for the doubles... they weren't prep right as I didn't have the sides that would go in them like the shredded cucumbers and hot sauce.. they were a bit dry as well which was disappointing. BUT THERE SHARK SANDWICH WAS DELICIOUS! I have never tried shark meat and I must say it was so light and fluffy and tasted like chicken to be honest.. very delicious also.. there stews chicken was chefs kiss. read more

One of the more disappointing Trinidadian roti shops I've visited in recent memory. Doubles were done for the day, so we ordered a roti with a few different sabzis, including aloo, channa, and bhindi. Let alone spices, it tasted like most of these were lacking salt. The roti was also rather dried out and unappealing. read more

I got a seamoss drink that was really refreshing. Also got curry shrimp, that was so fire. Buss up Roti was fresh, and nicely made. I did also ordered a curry chicken and was so hungry I forgot to take a photo of that. The curry chicken was wildly salty unfortunately, but otherwise the flavors was there. 1 star off for salt factor. Pro-tip get that tamarin sauce it's so sweet and delicious and added a nice element to offset the salt factor. I would try more things from here...Service was prompt read more

Tried here for the first time, and nothing I bought tasted like anything Trini hands have ever cooked in my lifetime. That includes family back in Trinidad and friends and family in the US having a cook. It taste more like a Guyanese is the chef. I've also never in my life had doubles so off in color. And hard. And aloo with the chana as the default for the doubles? Even the Tamarind sauce is off. Where are the bits and pieces that come in it? I do not recommend for an authentic tasting Trini meal. The menu items might look authentic but the taste isn't there. It's really busy though so Flatbush must approve. Plus easy on the budget. I just wouldn't buy from here again. I'll stick to shops in Liberty. read more

Quick Trini meal since I'm working in this part of town. My chicken roti was absolutely delicious. It came with potatoes and chickpeas and a good portion of chicken. It had a splash of hot sauce and tamarind sauce. My orange soda was good as well. Service was pretty standard just hi and bye and out the door. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this establishment! I'm a frequent visitor. It might be embarrassing how often I go here but it's my go to for hot, fresh and tasty food! I love the doubles, pholouri with extra tamarind sauce and their veggie roti! I use pumpkin and spinach as the two options for filling in my roti. To die for! I never get enough. I'm also obsessed with their fish tea (soup). I usually have it when I'm sick but also when I'm not! It's that good! Lol. Don't walk, run to get some good good Trini cuisine. You won't be disappointed! There's something for everyone at Bake and Things! read more

Surprisingly good! The people I dined with at Bake and Things made it enjoyable, and the staff was efficient. Every plate leaves the kitchen at peak quality. The team provided great service and all employees were helpful! This spot will become a regular choice! read more

I go to this restaurant on a very regular basis and never have any issues. But today I ordered 2 veggie plates with 2 roti's separate. The roti's were hard and tasted stale. I was very disappointed and confused, because I've never had an issue with their roti. It's always fresh and soft. read more

Caribbean spots can be so terrifying sometimes. I feel that each time i walk into a spot I've never tried before. Today, bake and things was that spot. I wanted something delicious, cheap and filling. I also didn't want meat. So i chose a double today. Added Channa (curried chickpeas) tamarind sauce and a little pepper sauce, and it's sooo good. I remember one of my best friends got me one of these last summer and it was so good. I decided to try and order it on my own today, and i did pretty good lol. It's normally pretty busy in there, but today, it was empty. Which worked for me because i didn't want to be rushed to order lol. The lady was sweet and nice and it came out to $2.50. Can't beat that. See pics below. read more

Bake and Things - Double with channa, tamarind and pepper sauce. Perfect no-meat lunch - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I was feeling for a beef roti for the longest time. I knew the only place that would get it right (from experience ordering from other restaurants) is Bake and Things on Flatbush Ave. The roti did not disappoint. I couldn't help but get some other stuff. Everything was delicious, and very reasonably-priced. The food was great, and the service was superb. They really made me feel like I was back home in Trinidad. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. Everything about this store is perfect. The place is always very clean, the staff is great, and the food is delicious. If you're in the mood for Trinidadian food, this is the place to go. read more

Bake & Things located on Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, New York has the BEST mac & cheese complimented with a covering of their delectable (entree) gravy!  When a side of mac & cheese is ordered, it is ALWAYS covered with curry gravy, stew gravy, OR any other gravy tickling my fancy that particular day.  The "Mac and Cheese" is perfectly made every single time without fail having a succulent cheesy fill by sight and taste.  Pricing continues to be reasonable with excellent customer service to boot. Unfortunately, Bake & Things' pholourie was not how pholourie usually tastes.  Their pholourie was similar to eating bread with no leavening agent, hard in texture, dark in color, heavy to the touch, and a thick consistency taste. A "4 star" overall rating was for Bake & Things' GREAT mac & cheese! read more

Sometimes you just want a tasty Trini Sunday late lunch. Stopped through today. We delighted in the Curry Chicken Roti (add Tamarind sauce. Curry Chicken with Buss Up Shot (nice and buttery). Doubles with Tamarind sauce. Oxtail dinner with callaloo and potato salad. The Passionate and Sorrel drinks are refreshing. Great portions and reasonable prices. Only takeout, no seating. The line may be long, but they get you in and out pretty quickly. read more

Disappointed on a Sunday I was craving macaroni pie and callaloo and decided to try this place since my usual spots are closed on Sundays. I took a moment to view the menu, and went with the small shrimp dinner ($12) + macaroni pie ($2.50 extra) and callaloo as the sides. Peardrax as the drink. The macaroni pie was dry, bland, and rubbery. It tasted like there was very little if any at all seasoning used. I don't know if this result was due to it being overcooked or left out all day, but it wasn't edible. After a few bites, I gave up on satisfying that craving. The shrimp was okay - it was seasoned significantly better than the rest of the meal. The callaloo didn't have the rich texture/consistency and flavor that the traditional dish is known for. I also asked for pepper sauce and didn't taste any at all. Not a kick, not even a zest. Overall after spending $16+ on a small meal, I wouldn't order this or likely from here again. I'm rating 2 stars simply because the line was organized and the ordering process was relatively quick. read more

Where do I start..... On entering one is met with a hostile jamaican woman,who seems irritated with you taking a minute to decide on what else you may want to spend your money on. Ordered Buss up shot curry, three skins and 2 pans of chicken. After she dashed the food in the pans, she preceded to dash pepper when we requested pepper and tamarind sauce all over the food. On noticing our displeasure, she quickly says tamarind and pepper are mixed together in the same container. Never heard of anyone mixing the two..I like pepper on my roti and tamarind only on my aloo or doubles..get my drift. Now lets get to the food.... Born and bred Trini, so I know my food. Buss up was horrendous, hard and ole and uncooked in some parts. It was not "buss up"and given to us, it was package as if cut like you would a pie.. This is the second time and it has not improved. Chicken...barely there. They cut at the joint of the leg and hence barely any meat on the bone. Imagine someone cutting the "heads of the drumstick" off and currying it. The gravy for the curry was watery with barely any chana or potatoes and tasteless. If I lived close enough, I would bring this mess back.. Do not believe these paid for reviews, this food is a fail.. Do not waste your hard earned coins, your food at home taste better.. trust me. I dont think this restaurant is trini owned or have trini cooks.. buyer beware!! read more

Let me start by saying I came here on my birthday for some food. The only reason I stopped by was because fisherman's cove ran out of the dishes I wanted. There was a woman working the counter and she wasn't very nice at all. I spent a good $35 on food here. The chicken curry roti was just okay. This is what saves them. They had no doubles, aloo pie or pholourie available. I also ordered the curry goat dinner with cabbage and plantain and the oxtail dinner with the same sides. The baked macaroni was disgusting no flavor The oxtail was bland, no flavor, nasty, bitter after taste, no gravy, not tender and just overall the WORST oxtail dish I ever had. The curry goat was nasty as well. Two of my favorite Caribbean dishes were bland with no salt and a disgusting mess. I don't really like Trini food because I have been disappointed with the restaurants I go to. I will never stop by here again. The food is disgusting, the woman has an attitude serving and there are better options available out there. read more

This bake and things reside on church ave and I believe 35 st The women server's are very disrespectful to women and especially American women they will serve the men big spoonfuls for their orders then as soon as the women order they act like they are scared to serve you food you are paying for, I understand the cut back but at least put some food in my dish I should not be seeing the pans bottom after paying my money. They do this all the time to me. So I sent my mom in to order and because of her American accent look at this plate and we brought 2 I mean I'm not taking nothing from the food it's exceptionally good mine was ok but look at my moms plate wish they gave me the small amount since they had to skim she was so disappointed and I recommended them she said it's ok never again smh. Just let it be known American money should spend like your cultures money. Not nice Backnthings prejudice is ugly no matter What race it comes from. read more

I've been coming here for bake and salt fish which is always ON POINT! but, one evening I ordered curry shrimp and buss up. The shrimp was DELICIOUS, unfortunately the buss up was inedible. It was drier than bone and had a biscuit-like texture I couldn't pick it up without It crumbling apart in my hands... Maybe it was an off-night. I would come here again but I would probably get the curry shrimp with roti instead - I can't have disappointing buss up again. read more

Trinbago food at its best in Brooklyn. I pass by anytime I am in Brooklyn. I recommend highly.

Like why give me a buss up shop if it looks like this SMFH I was better off driving to queens to trini citi to get my money's worth. This is ridiculous it's basically dry out and stale I wont be returning here. I will drive myself to Queens read more

Terrible customer service. I ordered my food while the store was empty. Two other people came in and ended up having their food ready before mine. When I finally asked for my roti, the girls behind the counter acted like I said the worst thing in the world and gave me so much attitude. Only to come home and find that my roti barely had any shrimp in it and the roti skin was dry like chips. At least if your going give bad customer service, the food should be good. I really want to give 0 stars. Never again. read more

Curry goat with rice and peas, two other sides. $9. They pack the thing so tight that the food would bust out any second. Best curry goat I had ever had. Cash only at the take out counter. I should say, there are other stuff like the fried shark and the salted fish, and fried conch, which I did not try because it's the wrong time of the day. For someone who loves Jamaican food, I think there are perhaps better places in Queens for the most authentic experience, but for someone who had only been to Jamaica in the 90s and loved everything she ate there, this is pretty legit. I like how moist the rice and peas are. The curry goat is very meaty and delicious and filled with nice flavor. The seasoning on that dish was fantastic. For a quick take out place, this place has a lot of varieties, the best being roti which I think is a Jamaican Indian version of burrito. There are so many things that New York amazes me about, this being one of them. I could spend a week eating nothing but that, but then, I was due to head out back to the island of Manhattan, where a foofi fancy pants dinner reservation awaits in the West Village. Well, only in this magic land of New York, can you get such diverse treats all in one day, with one 2 train that separates and unites us all. read more

After a tasty dinner and a look at intriguing menu prospects for the future (souse...buss-up-shut) I'm glad I overcome slight skepticism related to a sign warning people not to hand over their money at the wrong place on the line. The curry chicken dinner with rice and peas and two sides was a surprisingly low $7, and the small was not small. The chicken had a good kick, although not the tear-inducing level of spice I sometimes enjoy. Items that are often just supporting players in such dishes were excellent. The rice and peas were far better than the usual and I was strangely hooked on the steamed vegetables. read more

Authentic Trinidadian food, great taste, & decent service. I enjoy the doubles, pelau and chicken roti.

One of the best restaurants in Brooklyn opens a 2nd branch one block from the Junction, and in front of a very busy B41 bus stop @ Flatbush and Glenwood. There is no bad food here, & its pretty much always busy, so none of the food has been sitting around long. Only complaint is that the fish cakes always sell out by 1:00pm or earlier. Yes, they are that good. Maybe they could just make a few more??? Oh, and they are VERY inexpensive. You can eat like a king here for under $10. read more

I tried doubles for the first time at this place! I Yay! I must say I did enjoy it with the tamarin and pepper sauce. I also ordered bakes with salt fish and I wasn't really a fan. The bakes was very doughy and the salt fish was very scarce and too salty. If I'm ever in the area I would definitely come back for the doubles but they can keep the salt fish. I also tried the passion fruit juice and it tasted too sweet as If they added in extra sugar in it to stretch it. I'll be passing on that too. read more

I went to Bake and things and I ordered Stew chicken dinner, oxtails dinner, and curry goat bussup The Guy that helped me seemed like he was over taking orders, I was trying to figure out what veggies I wanted with my orders and he was already dishing out the food and having a conversation with his co worker. I then ordered a ' curried goat bussup roti' and he then repeated what I said sarcastically and looked at me and said ' you want a GOAT BUSSUP' walked away and repeated what I said two more times. I found that to be very unprofessional. I've never ordered this before. And I didn't know there was a set way to order I've ordered a goat roti before and had them separate it but never Bussup. So, let me begin by saying. Mr. ATTITUDE or whoever you are. The food should have been much better but the Spinach was a salt bomb and the oxtail which you scooped out what was left at the bottom of the long gravy, which should have been thrown out and not sold was so peppery that it tasted bitter. With all your bad attitude the food should have been A class but wasn't. Instead I got BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE and awful food read more

Great food, great service too!!!! I loved the fritters, the doubles and the roti, chicken and shrimp

The food is ALWAYS AMAZING! It's the rude employees that's either taking your order and serving or checking you out to pay for your food. I just left there on August 15th, THURSDAY AT 11:30AM. I ordered a veggie roti and the dark skin girl who was serving me was so rude! She got mad because I asked for tamarind and pepper sauce at the end and not in the beginning when I first ordered. She was rolling her eyes, shaking her head and mumbling. Then when she finished wrapping my order and basically threw my wrap towards the cashier to BAG IT. I love this place and always recommend it but u can't with the attitudes AND NEGATIVE ENERGY! read more

I'm a loyal customer, but to the owner/manager please hire employees that have at least "good" customer etiquette and happily assist with orders of an ever changing menu. There is a new young male with bad teeth and a horrible attitude, poor customer service. Please train your employees on professionalism, it's leaving a bad taste in peoples mouth. read more

Best Caribbean food in NY. I had to take a star off cause the guy limited me on how many Dal roti I can get lol. Once I had to wait around an hour cause they sold out of goat curry. It was worth it tho. I love their food so much. Brings back childhood memories. read more

Hit or miss. Breakfast is what I enjoy from this restaurant. However dinner options are often messy in presentation and lack flavor.

The food is delicious. I enjoyed a bake and saltfish. I also got a vegetable roti to take home, it was also good. Big portion size so I could not eat in one sitting. read more

Terrible customer service. They say you have to spend a certain amount of money to use your card even if u are missing a penny they wont let you purchase. They rather throw the food away than let you pay for food with card missing one cents to use. Theres this one dark skin guy there he is RUDE and doesnt care about customers. Actually NEVER seen him smile before. Its sad because their food is good but i wont ever buy anything from them nor will my friends or family which is practically half of flatbush read more

Love this spot for some Saltfish & Bake for breakfast! I usually order 2, and the bake is fried so well. And the servers are super pleasant, which isn't always the case in West Indian restaurants. However, the last time I went, the bake was slightly a soggy as if they reheated whatever was leftover from the night prior. But they made up for it by their Passionfruit juice. It was PERFECT! read more

Been here many times to try many items on their menu. It changes a little bit depending on the daily specials, which is very much appreciated to not get bored. I loved just about everything I tried here and will keep coming back. It's not a sit down place even though they've got counters by the window to eat. It's more of a take out place to stop by on the way home with hot food. They take all the credit cards, which makes payment convenient. There's a line 9 out of the 10 times I went so be ready to wait a little to order. A few things I found unique and special about this place. - Dumplings are big blocks. Reminds me of taro cake in shape and texture, but not taste. - They have bakes (which are a breakfast sammich if you're new to them like me), super tasty with their tamarind (I think) sauce. - Oxtail meat always falls off the bone - Their paintings are charming. read more

I use to like this place but the customer service is horrible and the food isn't as good especially during the night. I went in today after work to get stew chicken white rice, macaroni pie and veggies. When I got home there was no Mac in my plate. I paid $9.50 for what ? The heavy looking black girl with the pony tail made my dinner along with the guy with the glasses and another skinny girl. I don't know why it takes 3 people to make one plate and there's a line. It's always the same every time I go in there. Then they stand next to each other and just talk and laugh. Im confused. If you want good food and better customer service this is not the place. My chicken was chewy and undercooked, the rice was hard and stale almost and the callaloo was dry and cold. If I didn't live so far I would have taken it back. read more
