I was in the area and had to stop at Bake & Things. Last time I came I thoroughly enjoyed my food. They have so many options here. I was tempted to get everything in sight but settled on feeding my stomach instead of my eyes. I ended up ordering the same thing I got last time; Only difference is I added chickpeas to my roti and a seperate side of lentil peas. The roti skin was stuffed with at least two scoops of curry chicken, pumpkin and chickpeas. Yoo this thing was heavy! More than enough for two people. The chickpeas were a bit spicy but it evened out with the sweetness from the pumpkin. The curry chicken was falling off the bone and the curry flavor wasn't overpowering. The side of lentil peas were deliciousness!! Perfect amount of seasoning, not salty at all; similar to how I make mines at home. I really enjoyed my entire meal and would most definitely come back. read more

Good selections. Many to choose from. Fair pricing and a selection of homemade drinks. I like knowing what to expect. There's a menu/chef special for everyday of the week. Every week. So curry crab and dumplings every Friday. Roti is good and stuffed. read more

I'm going to say yes. I don't know what Trini food is like but this food is so delicious and the flavor is so different than what I associate as curry. It is actually a well stewed chicken that is fall of the bone tender. The rice and beans were different than the Costa Rica type that I enjoy and I liked this type too. I really enjoyed the rice with Callaloo which is a veggie mashed and creamed. I even enjoyed the pasta side (and if you haven't noticed, I'm not a big fan of pasta.) The people there were so friendly. They gave us a try of the various specialty drinks that the other patrons enjoyed watching us try it. Are people of Trinidad normally so friendly and nice? If this is representative of those people, then yes, they are. Clean clean clean. This place is meant for take out really, but they had just about two benches for me and my honey to try their food as eat in. No bathroom. Take out. Cash. Oh, and please do not put your hand over the counter where the food is. Please maintain sanitary food zones. read more

Absolutely the #1 Trinni food outside Trinidad. If you have ever experienced the morning treat of a "double" served from a Toyota hatchback in Port of Spain it is a dish you will crave for a very long time. You will go to great lengths to have one again; fortunately you only have to take the 5 train to Brooklyn. Minus the hatchback this is the true Trinidad experience! Right down to a number of things on the menu that were not available at the time of our visit. In Trinidad go to any restaurant and ask "what do you have?" first! Otherwise you will go down a series of denials "we don't have that man....". Also authentic to the Trinidad dining experience is the "I hope I don't get murdered" on the walk from the train to 35th St. Super fantastic dishes here, my favorite is "doubles" (a sandwich of curried chick peas served on flatbread called "bara" with some wicked hot sauce). There was a short line when we arrived but it moved quickly. Virtually no seating inside, just a short countertop so plan on getting it to go. Bake & Things is an authentic treat. If you have never tried Trinni food it's worth the trip. read more

I do take out from here often when I'm too lazy to cook but not to lazy to eat crappy food. The food quality is excellent. Consistent in flavor and gives huge portions for affordable price. The last time I was here I ordered Saturday special. Steam fish with peas. Instead of rice I was able to substitute rice for mixed vegetables and spinach for no extra cost. A lot of variety in the menu. In addition to the regular menu, the Saturday menu also had oil down and fish soup, which is another favorite of mine. There's always extras to choose from daily. Which is great for Indecisive people like me that always want to try everything and especially that "new thing on menu" The food is classic Trinidadian cuisine. What separates Bake and Things from the rest is the consistency, cleanliness and quality. read more

Bake & Things - Steam fish with stew peas mix vegetable spinach and pumkin - Trinidadian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I used to always come here one summer for breakfast (bake and saltfish), one summer when I had a summer youth job around the corner at a medical office. Was in the area and I couldn't remember exactly where it was...I guess thats why yelp is so great. I go in and order fried bake & saltfish and coconut bake and shark. This is where the loss of one star comes in to play...they didn't have coconut bake or shark. So my question is why was it on the menu. Ok I must admit their menu is plastered on the wall over the counter. But why not post a sign saying what you don't have that day. Anyways the saltfish was cooked perfectly. I've had some where they didn't cook all the salt out smh. The fried bake was nice and flaky. Will definitely go again especially at $2.25 a pop. Only 25cents more than it was over 10years ago read more

I ate it so fast, I don't even have a photo to post. Next time though! All I have to say is that the veggie roti I purchased tonight was simply heavenly. As I was coming from the gym without my wallet, I was 5 cents short and you needed a $10 minimum to use a card, but the kind gentleman at the counter gave me a bly. Now I feel like I should return tomorrow and give a tip because that was just phenomenal. The roti skin was the best I'd eaten in a while. Hate to throw shade, but I recently had one at Jen's on Flatbush and it let me down bad bad bad. Now the pumpkin, mixed veg and tamarind sauce all together was on a whole 'nother level of outstanding. My taste buds were going crazy! Even though the portion size was more than filling and satisfying, I was sad to see it go. I'll be back soon, lovely people at Bake and Things. read more

The customer service in there is horrible. The way my roti was wrapped with no care in the world and like only 4 pieces of shrimp in it. They get mad at you when they think you didn't inform them of what you asked for because of their lack thereof, communication. Have to do better. read more

Bake & Things is consistently awesome. The a great taste of the Caribbean, it is one of the best places in town. We love the veggie rotis and doubles. Try them with pepper sauce and tamarind. Some people are bent out of shape about the customer service. They have never been anything but nice to me. The place can get packed, so it may take some time to get your order. We usually go to the one on Flatbush and Glenwood. read more

Customer service sucks they look at you like you're crazy if you have questions about the food. I'm No longer a customer here. I recommend Jens Roti Shop where they know how to treat customers. read more

Normally I don't have any complaints, but today, I have to say the bake and salt fish was so salty OMG!

CARIBBEAN FOOD ... What can I say I came to Bake & things last week because I wanted to try Caribbean food. Well it was my first time trying some callalo and oxtail and really thought it was good. The service was great not too fast but also not too long to say I was waiting for ever. I had a really good lunch and they have a cool passion fruit . read more

Ive been here many times. today i remember to check in. And today i learned my fixed income meal from them. 10$ 1 salt fish with bake. Which is so delicious. Rice and pieces with spinach and a side order of plantains. And a solo soda. Boy did it hit the spot. I love there food. The food is always fresh the customer service is good. The food could be pricey dependimg on qhat you order. However, with food you get what you pay for. And if you spend your money right in here you will be satisfied. Ps try there corn beef and bake Ps try there smoke Herron PS try there shark and bake There sauces are good put it on your food. They charge if you want it on the side. Non the less the sauce is worth paying for. I will always be a fan of bake and things i come mostly morning time and im able to get fresh rice. Dam the food be so good i always forget to take a pic. Also they have a location on flatbusb which is just as good . So i suggest if you are in the neighborhood stop by. I have traveled all the way here from home just to get that salt fish and bake.. mmmmmmm so so good bake and things fresh food ...... read more

I love bake and things! Been coming here for years, it is my go to spot once I hit Brooklyn! I would gladly give it 5 star if the ladies were a little more personable and the process of ordering the food a little bit easier. Also, no prices posted for any meals except the $5 special. read more

I ate from here on 2 separate occasions and I must saw the food is pretty decent. I had the stew chicken with rice and peas and Callao it was tasty.i had the curry beef roti and it was ok as well. The fish soup wasn't for my liking too much cilantro In it. read more

Ok...If you're from Brooklyn and from the West Indies and you don't know about Bake & Things go back to that hole you were in. This is the BEST and I mean BEST trini food ever!!!! Next to your momma's home cooking that is!!!!!!!!!!!! People swear by Gloria's with their dry ass food in all three of her locations but I'll pass!!!!! I'm addicted to bake & things bake and saltfish and sorrell. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! You don't know food until you come here. Their oxtail is cooked to perfection!!! I don't know what is going on in that kitchen but all I have to say is HALLELUYA (sp?) to this place. Growing up, born and bred on 34th this place is literally downstairs. The only thing that sucks is the parking but who the hell cares! If you're from Brooklyn all you do is double park and worry about the ticket later :) Bake & Things has contributed to my pounds but IDK...I'll take it :) read more

I'm deducting a star because the young woman at the counter was not very pleasant. I'm not Caribbean, so some of the foods were foreign to me...like macaroni pie. I asked if it was something like mac & cheese and let's just say, if looks could kill, it would've been a massacre. Ppl on the line were helping me figure out my order. Pretty embarrassing. As far as the food, my husband likes food bland, so he did not like the curry chicken roti. I, on the other hand LOVED the curry goat and his remaining chicken roti. It was the best I've had in a long time. It was seasoned to perfection. I also liked the mac pie. However I did not care for the pumpkin. Oh yeah, we ate bake & saltfish while we waited on our order...delish! I will go again and I recommend my fellow foodies to give them a try. Other than the less than stellar customer service, I don't think they'll disappoint. read more

Since I was a kid I have been going to bake and things, my mom live for curry and they make the best. It did not matter where in BK we lived on Friday and Saturdays we were headed there. When my mom got pregnant with my brothers it got worst, we were there like every other day lol....she made my dad miserable. Even though its small...it's very clean....great service....great staff.....and friggin awesome food. read more

The best Trini take out in Brooklyn. The roti is nothing short of spectacular, always fresh and unbelievably consistent. If you're looking to get your chicken roti fix, this is the place for you. I've also tried their sorrel which is just a tad too sweet, but still I can't turn it down. One of my favorite west Indian restaurants in BK. Finding a parking spot on 35th street is the hardest part. Watch out for those traffic cops if you end up double parking they definitely make their rounds on that block. read more

Bake and things has been part of my community decades. They are one of the few Trinidadians Restuarant in the area. The food is delicious. Big compliments to the chefs at both locations. My big gripe Is when I went to this location today it was the worse customer service I ever experience. Your menu have no prices and when you ask a question the girls who seem to be the boss gets a attitude and is extremely rude. She actually called her customers devils and said today was devil Tuesdays. Who does that. She said this because several customers were compLaining. I know several people don't patronize this location because of her attitude. She need to Go to Flatbush location and get proper training. Please Rectify this situation. She making Trinis look bad and we all grew up with training. read more

Wow, my mouth is starting to water just thinking about Bake & Things! Stew chicken, rice and peas, callaloo, mixed vegetables and macaroni pie. I took a huge bite of a little bit of everything and I damn near fainted. So much flavor, authentic West Indian "I-put-my-drawers-in-this-food" flavor! The stew chicken has delicious savory gravy and big chunks of delicious meat. The callaloo is seasoned and cooked to perfection. I can eat three bowls of it alone and not feel any shame. It's a plant after all! The macaroni pie was moist and cheesy. Rice and peas were standard but the mixed vegetables were crunchy and mouth watering. Amazing food. read more

Finally back in Brooklyn for work, and with a foodie coworker, bonus! We take a quick walk two blocks to Church Ave. to seek this 4 star rated place, with an "A" rating in the window, great! The signage is easy to spot, we are thinking we can sit down and eat, not so much, there is a 2 seat table inside and two tables outside, which could have been an option, but they are re paving Church Ave. (Asphalt and food don't really go well) The food choices are plentiful, unless you are a regular, the menu is somewhat confusing. Main staples as far as West Indian food goes, this place is Trinidadian so you will their style of food with all of the Indian and Indo-Chinese inspired foods, yum! A dinner comes with rice, two sides and a main, I had the Oxtail, white rice, macaroni pie and spinach! Delicious, I love the fact that every Caribbean country will have the same dishes, but slightly different, the oxtail was very tender and pulled easily from the bone but not falling apart, had a slight sweetness to it. Macaroni pie was smooth and fluffy, it's not a heavy mac and cheese. The spinach is similar to an Indian Saag, creamy and good, the rice was nice and fluffy! My coworker got the curry goat, rice and peas with steamed veggies and she got the last bit of plantains ( envious, I love sweet and savory) We were both in food comas after lunch! The ladies working the counter were very efficient and friendly! A must do when in the area! FYI cash only! read more

When ever heading down Brooklyn - I always venture to this spot. Some of the best Caribbean food in the City. Can get anything from Roti, doubles.....to curry crab and callaloo. Irish Moss/sea moss is a must also; made to order. Prices are reasonable but be prepared to wait as there may be a line during busy hours. read more

Great Trinidadian Food!!!!! Healthy/Delicious/CHEAP!!! Tip: the "Roti" has everything rolled up together like a burrito...the "Buss Up Shut" has the meat and veg on a plate and the cut up roti on the side read more

Since moving to Brooklyn, one of the delightful aspects is the exposure to a lot of Trinidadian food. I would be lying if I said I were an expert in it, but I can say I do know when something is delicious. Bake and Things is delicious. Most of the time I get a dinner which consists of rice and peas, a selection of meat, and 2 sides. Why go with a small dinner when you can pay a dollar more and get a large dinner. The best sides in my opinion are the mac pie, callaloo, and pumpkin. The best meat is the oxtail, it packs so much flavor and the gravy is delicious. The curry goat is solid as well. Just note a few things, if you get a roti, they will not pick the bones out of the meat, so don't just bite into the roti, watch out for bones. If you get here early enough in the morning, there is breakfast foods. There is swordfish which is really good and there is also shark, which is fried. The shark is a bit tough, but the flavor is good. Overall: delicious and cheap, what else could you ask for. Try to oxtail, and just go with a large dinner. read more

Don't bother. Go to Trinciti instead. Their food tastes better and you get more value for your money.

My aunt ordered food for a repass that started at 5. The food was delivered at 7:51. Most of the guests had left prior to the arrival of the food. I am very disappointed with this establishment. read more

This is the real deal for Caribbean food. Stop in if you in the neighborhood. You will not be disappointed

I've come here in the past (less than a month ago, mind you) and ordered just a plain buss up shut, now miraculously, you can't buy buss up alone and "have" to buy it with a meal. I don't want your flavorless, mush food. Its fine tho. Ali Roti Shop on Utica Ave and just about every other Trini spot sells their shit by itself with no discrepancies. read more

Made an unplanned venture into Brooklyn today, and I asked some Twitter folks where I should grab lunch, and the lone reply was "Bake & Tings" (sic) So I yelped it and realized I've never had Trini food, and I had no idea what it was. My Twitter pal was late in answering what I should try ("curry chicken roti") so I had to order on my own. I didn't have the foggiest idea what the menu meant, and from reading the reviews, I gleaned that there's a big seafood component to Trini food, and I'm not a big seafood guy, so I wasn't looking for saltfish or shark (the few things I recognized on the menu). However, the Callaloo came recommended from fellow Yelper Jade, and I figured I'd give that a shot, since "veggie mashed and creamed" is in my wheelhouse. Wikipedia lists a whole slew of things in it that I wouldn't normally eat -- but holy crap whatever was in this concoction was delicious! To my palate, it was similar to broccoli (which I love) with a spicy component. My only regret was I didn't get more of it. When I ordered, the counter gal held up a small (6 oz?) styrofoam cup and I asked if there was anything bigger. She then held up a 20 oz. cup which seemed too big, and I grimaced, so she grabbed a cup from the soda fountain which was probably 16 oz. She filled it up, I got a Diet Coke in a can and walked out of there for $3.50 I drank the soup (it had that consistency) on the way back to my car -- I found a spot on 34th by sheer luck -- and wished I had turned around to get more. Since it's close enough to the #2 train's Church St. Station, I may find myself back there to try to the Curry Chicken Roti the next time I find myself in NYC with a couple hours to spare... read more
