So, I've been waiting for this place to open up forever and when it did, this past Wednesday I was eager to give it a go and when I did on Saturday I was automatically hooked. Trinidadian places on this part of flatbush is rare, it's mostly Jamaican and Haitian places so the quality of the curry is not the same and its hard to get standard traditional fare like Doubles, Aloo Pie etc. This place blew my mind. We got; a beef roti, doubles, coconut bake with saltfish and Solo Pear J, nothing disappointed me. The Doubles was fresh, the channa was just right and you could choose from pepper sauce, chado beni and tambrind sauce. The Coconut bake was huge and you could actually taste the coconut *gasp*; the saltfish was well seasoned with tomatoes, onions and pepper and was actually not too salty like most places *cough*. I got dhol pouri instead of bussup and that was cooked to perfection with the beef melting in your mouth. I'm an addict and I can finally get trini food whenever I want without having to trek to queens or to the other side of the flatbush. I'm so happy! read more

Boyyyy, this place has sure been on a downhill in my personal opinion. I remember a time when this location was always packed to the door but unfortunately the decline shows. I decided to have dinner here but was met with unnecessary attitude by a staff member. I understand people are going to have bad days from time to time but what I would not allow is for someone treats a customer as if they are doing them any favors. This young lady was clearly irritated at her job as I was met with eye rolling, sucking of the teeth and very lethargic or aggressive responses when ordering my food. Thank god I was with my mother because had she not been there, I would of told that young lady about herself and match the same energy she is spewing. This is probably my last time visiting this location and to top it off, the food was very unimpressive. I don't wish any I'll will towards this business as I've been supporting them for years but some of the staff clearly need some customer service training!!! read more

Poooulourie! 8 wonderful little globes of dough soaked in tamarind sauce. Every' ting good mon. Every 'ting goooood. Goat Roti was perfect. Slayed me deliciously. Nap time. read more

There is a feeling I get when I want Caribbean food. It is a craving that is often times unfulfilled. I was attempting to ignore this request, but succumbed to the need of cultural healing. Came here to get a boneless chicken roti. One thing to pay attention to. Know what you want and be ready to order. It was served quickly, the customer service is... I can't really say. There was no small talk. But there was also no need for it. Tell them what you want. let them wrap it up, bag it. pay and go. They used to have a cash only policy but they seemed to accept card now ( $10.00 Minimum FYI) It was cool. Nothing big, nothing bad. Hence my rating. I was satisfied but nothing more. I feel like a recipe might have changed or the portions switched as well. The price went up but the quality didn't ( I've been dining here for years now on and off) I think the next time I'm craving Caribbean food, I might consider going to a different space. Hopefully that real craving returns for here but for now it was just ok. read more

Today my Bestfriend and I went into this establishment after reading some pretty good reviews online! I got the buss-up-shut skin, medium oxtail (came with literally 3 pieces of oxtails) rice and peas, and two sides (macaroni & callaloo). To drink I got a small sorrel. My Bestfriend ordered the Curry Chicken, rice & peas, and two sides (macaroni & callaloo). To drink she also got a small sorrel. My Bestfriend is Armenian, and knows absolutely nothing about Caribbean food. I am only partially familiar with Trini Dishes from other friends of mine. It's not my culture Im Afro-Latina. Nevertheless I ordered for my friend, and myself. I guess the younger looking woman in there didn't hear the order, so when it was time to pay I realized my friends' order wasn't made yet. All of a sudden the attitude, rolling eyes, and head shaking started happening. Even my friend couldn't believe it, and was so upset at the lack of etiquette from this young woman. The food was good, the oxtail was delicious though it literally came with 3 pieces of meat. I never ordered this food before, and it was my first time at this establishment. I made it very clear that we don't know too much about the food they serve there. The place was not crowded, but we still felt rush. The older lady was very kind, and understanding. The young woman was a B****. When people are supporting your business have some etiquette especially when they are being kind and respectful. If you lack home training then don't do a job where you have to interact with people. Overall both of our favorite was the macaroni, everything else was good, but neither of us was a fan of the sorrel. Due to how uncomfortable, and unappreciated our business felt with all the attitude given to us my friend, and I agreed that we will NOT be returning! read more

This might be petty, but I'm gonna be petty. If I'm purchasing something in your store and I hand you the money in your hand. I EXPECT you to hand me my change in my hand. Why do you need to put it down on the counter and then tap the counter to show me that the change is on the counter. How hard is it for you to give my change in my hand, the same way I gave it to you!!!!!! The service wasn't bad...and i haven't tasted the food that I bought yet....but that is such a pet peeve for me!!!! read more

First time purchasing food from here...lets just say it came up short. It was salty I realized by the first bite. Got a boneless chicken roti and a regular chicken. The channa or garbanzo beans were hard in both. read more

As I sit here at 1:20 AM eating food from Bake and Things, I realized I've never reviewed this local gem. Admittedly the 35th location was the first and always has a special place in my heart, but this spot is a go-to for the crab and dumpling special, a dinner and their juice. I dislike their doubles. It's the bara that's often a bit too stiff and the channa is missing something. Not too sure but whatever it is, it could use a fine tuning. The food is solid, or OKAY. Is it drive out of your way worthy? NO BUT A OK will do in a pinch, ABSOLUTELY. The guys serving the food are sweet, courteous and kind. No one wants a plate served w a side of cut eye, hormones, and stink face. It does make all the difference and these guys are awesome. The one lady that works there though is consistently yelling or arguing with her staff and truly, no one wants to hear all of that while waiting in line to eat. One can only hope her energy is not transferred into the food bc it's draining to overhear as a customer and is a huge turn off. read more

I was looking for a place to eat while visiting my cousin at the hospital with her first child. I found this place on Yelp and the thing was the customer service. Horrible to the point where I had to raise my voice when ordering my food and looking at the lady dead in the eye and second, the rice and beans was sweet and didn't taste that good. Lastly, pricey for the amount of food which doesn't taste that good. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

The food is amazing here. I had the goat curry and some bread stuff with chickpeas in it. It was great. I would definitely come back to try more of the menu. They seem to have this home cooking feel and flavor to it. Caribbean at its best. The only drawback is that they only accept cash. I had to go to an ATM to get this meal. Overall, worth the trip read more

Standing here as I'm writing it: I've been coming here for years and the service today shocked me. I'm not sure if it's because they in the mood to rush but the food was handled so poorly. How do you wrap a ripped roti, and continue after hearing the customer and other customers complain? read more

I'm not a Trini but you wouldn't know that from how I eat. With that being said I have been here three times in the last four days. The addiction is serious... So far the curry crab n dumpling was absolutely so good I could have eaten the damn shell. The Buss up Shot w/Curry Goat was sooo good too. Sorrel juice - best I have ever had. Sorrel/ Passion fruit Juice ----- AMAZING! Oh the Aloe pie and Shark and Bake as well as Salt fish and Bake was so fresh and well seasoned it tasted like you went to someone's home from Trinidad not a little hole in the wall on Flatbush Avenue - Always a line --- well worth it. read more

Good bake and saltfish... Dont expect doubles in the morning ... its a order to go spot... If you're in a rush you can place an order over the phone in advance .. This is the Flatbush location read more

So this place made work lunch a whole lot more interesting. I got the veggie roti and between the $5 price and the fresh pumpkin and spinach that goes inside I was in Caribbean heaven. The portion is fairly big and could be shared, the staff is helpful and friendly in the process if you're unfamiliar with the cuisine. I definitely recommend if you're in the area! read more

Bake and Things - Veggie Roti with pumpkin - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

went on sunday to surprise my wife who's didn't know trini cuisine. I wanted her to try doubles, bake a shark and Roti. Sorrowfully there was no bake, neither doubles at the time, so we just tasted roti, wich were very good, big portion, big chicken chunks and great flavor. Restaurant is mostly for take out, they have a window bar with no more than 10 seats. NO card accepted, only cash. read more

I had the bake and salt fish. It was good but a little oily. I will be back to try other food.

The food is good. Some of the servers can be rude but that's typical for a Caribbean restaurant.

Horrible! Awful! The Worst west indian food I've ever eaten and I've eaten food after a fete from a lady on the sidewalk that taste 100% better than this. I'm mad I even have to give 1 star...based on what I just ate, this place should receive a FEW negative stars. The food taste like a cook, who isn't even west indian cooked it on Monday and put it in the fridge and took it out every day during the week and then I show up on Saturday and purchase it. I feel a little sick even rethinking what I just put in my stomach. I couldn't even get through more than 5 bites. Need a wash out to get rid of this. We ordered fish broth, curry shrimp, potato and channa, rice and peas, with spinach. How can you mess up rice and peas? Crazy! My husband bought some fish cakes and it taste like piss water was used in the mix. Absolutely horrible!! Do Not eat here!! read more

Do not eat from here!! They're really a disgrace to West Indian cuisine. When fisherman's cove is out of curry this is usually where I come. Almost every time the chicken was undercooked. I let it go though, saying maybe I just got a bad batch? Nope! Tonight was THE last straw. I ordered curry chicken, white rice, and okra. The white rice was soggy. The okra was so slimy I can still feel the disgusting feeling of it inside my throat. The curry chicken barely tasted like curry. I asked for extra gravy and by the time I got home and checked it was all watery. To top it off my chicken was COMPLETELY PINK ON THE INSIDE. Now I know a little pink is normal but this was ridiculous. Now I'm usually never one to complain. I always read Yelp reviews and think a lot of the time they're just crying over spilled milk. But this is ridiculous. Good thing I checked because I could've risked salmonella with this place. Save yourself the 9 bucks and go somewhere else like McBeans or Fishermans Cove! read more

I've been coming here for years. My usuals are bake and saltfish and/or doubles if it's breakfast time, and boneless chicken buss-up shut if it's lunch/dinner time. The food is always delicious. Make sure to get tamarind sauce! read more

Excellent Food I had a boneless chicken roti it was fresh and tasty. Good customer service and prices good. Stew Fish dinner macaronI pie delicious too. read more

This place makes me think I can go vegetarian, They make many wonderful veggie based dishes, it separates them from other west indian places in the area. First off are the doubles here are fantastic...... when you can get them. Doubles, for the uninitiated , are small curried chickpea flatbread type sandwiches, For $1.50 you get wonderfully seasoned curried chickpeas, if you want more spice you can add pepper sauce. Tamarind sauce is available but I'm not a tamarind type guy. They are so popular they run out quickly. I've been turned away empty handed because I was too late. 10am -1 pm are your best chances, but i cant guarantee anything since I eat a lot of them !! The aloo pie ($2.00) is a good compliment to the the doubles. For new yorkers think elongated knish for the rest of you think dough pastry stuffed with seasoned potatoes. I also love the roti here. The channa (chickpea) and potatoes are very good but i almost always go for pumpkin and spinach. Beautifully seasoned and quite filling, you're satiated without being bloated. They don't do it everyday but the veggie rice and veggie lo mein are excellent. I will eat that with the either tasty red beans , spinach or excellent lentils. I'm not a vegetarian and have had fantastic curried shrimp and good stewed fish here. For the fish earlier in the day is better, Later it seems a bit dry. I've had the oxtail and thought it was good but not much better or worse than other close by establishments. A friend enjoyed the curried chicken roti but I haven't had it personally. Should be noted this primarily a take out place. There are a few seats but it's main design is to- go orders. Is it flawless ? No. The drinks are too sugar-y for me. I can deal with the sorrel but grapefruit juice is painfully sweet. Occasionally they are heavy handed with salt. I also find I get much better service from the ladies than the men. But the prices (I rarely spend more than $10 here ) and overall quality make it nothing less than a 5. read more

When it comes to Bake n Ting they do it right, no complaints, fast service, really good food, right price, no complaints.

Thought I was in for a treat, but was very dissatisfied with my order, I purchased doubles, macaroni pie and bake and fish. And the flavors were just not hitting. First and last time buying food from here. read more

My mom came home with a chicken buss up roti and we shared it. As I was devouring a piece of my chicken, I noticed it was a little pink on the inside. Something told me to open the entire piece of chicken and the whole thing was pink on the inside. I'm PISSED!! At the fact that Bake and Things did not check to see if their food was cooked entirely. Now if I get sick from this, I will be calling the department of health on them. The only reason why it got 1 star is because the buss up was good and I love their passion fruit juice. I will not be eating from there again. read more

So it pains me to put up this post because I have been getting Food from Bake N Things since 2000 on East 35th street! Whoever made today's batch of doubles at the Flatbush location, needs to never cook for your establishment again. I cant tell if the bread from my doubles is stale or just bad. I live upstate now and was in BK today looking forward to lunch and I am utterly disappointed! read more

Good food. Good service. Good price. Couple things, i really like the bake and salt fish but they are always out of bake. Also if they delivered that would be cool. But it's not a big deal, they are close to trains and buses. read more

Umm so I really never tried there bake and saltfish but I usually stop by for there fish pies, mauby , doubles ! It taste OK nothing special that has the wow affect , they don't really sell roti skin unless your getting something inside the roti! The staff is OK and its either they dont make enough or there food gets sold out fast read more

Delicious food and very welcoming staff! I went in a Trini food noob but the friendly woman working there was very keen on letting me sample some items. I tried goat and beef. The beef was good but the goat was AMAZING. I had to have it. So she suggested I get the roti. And I proceeded to eat and eat and eat till I just wanted to pass out. I came in famished and weary from a long day and I left content, full, and lethargic. It was good. I can't wait to try more. read more

Delicious! Came by after working out at Blink Fitness for a quick snack and if anything, it was too much food for only $10. We shared a large platter of the curry goat with rice & peas. Each entree also came with two sides so we choose the okra and callaloo. By the time we got home, everything was mixed together in the container and the sauce was leaking out. THAT'S how much food the woman packed into our platter. We kept eating and eating even though we were both full. Having just gotten back from vacationing in the Caribbeans, it was extremely satisfying having those spices and flavors again right at home in Brooklyn. read more

I wanted to give this 4 stars, and almost did because it's the only Trinidadian Caribbean restaurant in my neighborhood that I've found, but, dudes, why are your potatoes so undercooked? That's, like, my only complaint. The food is good, don't get me wrong, I just love curry potatoes and usually Trinidadian curry potatoes are just slightly overdone so they have a bite but are still soft and delish in some roti, and these were underdone and had too much bite. :( Also, the chicken is too watery, it soaks through the roti. Too many bones also. It's good, but could be better. Also, y'all need to have doubles all day, not just in the mornings. I love the place, though. Good stuff! read more

Food is here good .. Doubles, fish pies and aloe pies are all delicous. That's all I ever really get anyways when I visit this place. It does gets crowded at times and things are sold out in the middle of the day, but that's only because people love what's on the menu I suppose. I particularly enjoy their Crab and Calliou which is only offered on Saturdays, but I have had better. You won't leave disappointed if you give it a try. it's always worth a try read more
