Yum Jamaican Patties! Can't beat the price and variety for one of these snack gems. I've heard many stories of these being the midday snack of choice for many Toronto natives. Every time I visit Toronto, I always visit the Kensington neighborhood for one of these treats. I tend to go for the ones that are a little more unique. For example, the last few times I've asked for goat or jerk chicken. They also have jerk pork as well, I haven't tried that one yet. I don't often see these varieties that Golden Patty offers on the circuit. The spicy ones definitely pack some heat so be warned! It's pretty much no frills, there really isn't anywhere to sit down, so be prepared to order and take yours to go. read more

Great spot in Kensington market to get a beef patty. I ordered a mild beef patty and there wasn't too much spice but I did enjoy it. They had several other patties and pastries to choose from too. I'd go back here if I was in the area. read more

Golden Patty - Beef patty - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I really wanted to give this place a higher review because it's such a staple in Kensington with very affordable prices. Most patties are $2.60 with many cake and bread options as well. However, the patty we had was not great. The crust felt old and dry, the flavour inside was not there. It reminded me any frozen patty that's been heated up at a gas station. Still an affordable option, but there are some other patty spots that are $5 and much more enjoyable. Service was efficient and friendly. read more

Golden Patty - Beef patty $2.60 Dec 2024 - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Loved the flavor of the filling! (Jerk chicken patty). Quick food take out spot for various flavours of Jamaican patties. Was here around lunch hours, this place was packed! The crust was thinner with layers. Flaky but not overly flaky - absorbing moisture of the filling to a perfect level, yet leaving a good texture. No unpleasant dry crunchiness. Liked it! I wished there were more filling! But the small amount of filling may be the reason of their popularity- it hits the good balance with their thinner crust. Cannot wait for trying other flavors! read more

I came to Golden Patty on a food tour in Toronto. We were each given a Jamaican beef patty. It was cooked fresh and hot out of the oven. They are so good. We didn't sit inside. We were served one patty as we stood outside. Great service! read more

I asked the employee for a rec so I tried a goat curry patty. Pastry was crispy but could use salt. Goat curry was tender and flavorful but very small on portion. It's the perfect cheap snack as you're exploring Kensington Market. read more

It was on my to-do list to try a Jamaican beef patty, and I am so happy that I chose this restaurant from the long list of options in Toronto! I have no idea what ingredients go into this dish, but the the pastry was flaky & the beef was a flavorful bite. There was the perfect amount of meat without being too spicy. And really you just can't beat the price. We bought one to enjoy while we strolled through Kensington Market on a Sunday, when the streets are closed to cars. read more

I probably should have ordered just the beef patty but decided to try their goat patty with coco bread. I love Jamaican beef patties. When I came in on a Monday in the afternoon there was a short line and it moved fast. 2 ladies behind the counter were taking orders. I liked the flavor of the goat. However there wasn't much filling. The pastry itself was just ok. The coco bread added nothing else except unnecessary carbs. Eaten together with the patty it tasted a bit dry. The coco bread was toasted. After a few bites, I just ate the patty by itself. Wish I could feed the birds with the coco bread but ended up tossing it in the trash. read more

When you need a bite of warmth, Jamaican patty is just the thing! One spot to find it is Golden Patty, nestled in Kensington Market, in the vibrant multicultural heart of the city. This is where you can find patties for about $2 each, and a little more if you want it wrapped in coco bread. I enjoyed the flakey Curry Goat patty in coco bread, along with a Spicy Beef patty. For about $5, this made for a quick yummy meal reminiscent of my childhood in Toronto. This is the spot that Simu Liu showcased as one of the "Worth It" spots in the city. You can also try other Jamaican bakery goods here as well as chicken roti and jerk meat with rice for a more fulsome West Indian experience. read more

We had a wonderful experience at the Jamaican patty store in Kensington Market. It was a great hidden gem and a favorite amongst the locals. This place was highly recommended by my friend Jennifer P. It was also nice to see this place offers vegetarian options, giving a variety of choices for different preferences. We ordered the Vegetable Patty, Chickpea Patty, and the Curry Shrimp Patty. The vegetable patty had a subtle spiciness which we found quite exciting. The curried shrimp patty was also another favorite but we did wish they offered a bit more shrimp filling inside. Both of them were so savory, we were very impressed! The chickpea patty was our least favorite as it was underwhelming in flavor and surprisingly, texture. It was just okay. The efficiency and friendliness of the staff is definitely a plus. They accept both debit/charge cards and cash, with a preference for the latter. We went to a nearby coffee shop as a workaround for the lack of seating in the store. This way we were able to savor the delicious snacks and enjoy a warm beverage to wash it down. Should I find us back in Kensington Market, this place is definitely on our list to revisit! Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Food: 5/5 read more

A good place for a quick snack in Kensington Market. Unfortunately I already just finished lunch when I came here but it smelled so good I had to go and grab one anyways. Service is really quick as all the patties were pre-made but they were still warm. I ordered the spicy beef and it really wasn't spicy at all, but it was okay if I thought of it as a regular beef patty. I also wished there was more filling, it did feel a little pastry heavy but I guess for the price I can't really complain. Perhaps a double would have been better. I'd love to come back to try their other selections next time on a more empty stomach. read more

Saw this spot on tiktok and decided to stop by during our trip to Toronto to try their filled patties. We got the mild and spicy beef patties, which were warm and flaky. Overall a really yummy treat and super affordable (only a couple US bucks)! I definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the Kensington market area for a treat. It is a small bakery, so there is no seating. Their patties are easy to eat on the go though. read more

I learned of Golden Patty from a YouTube video and found out it has a pretty large following in Toronto. Finally got to try it while I was in town for a cheap yet hearty quick lunch. Kensington Market, where it's located, is not my favorite area in TO as it can get pretty chaotic and intimidating especially for a tourist like me. Still, Golden Patty was worth the visit. I got two Jamaican patties-spicy beef and jerk pork. I also added "coco bread" to the former thinking it's a sweeter bread of some sort but it turned out to be another bun that would hold the patty. I thought doubling up the carb was unnecessary but its crunchy exterior and soft insides grew in me after a few bites. The Jamaican patties were amazing as I've expected. Flaky puff pastry and flavorful filling. I love the spicy beef more than the jerk pork but both were good. They do take cards here so no need to bring cash. Next time I want to try upgrading my patty to a whole sandwich where you can add veggies and cheese, as per their menu. DEFINITELY A BANG FOR YOUR BUCK! read more

WHAT I ATE - CANADA @ Golden Patty Kensington Market, Toronto, Canada https://www.youtube.com/@whatiate2000 We came to Toronto's Kensington Market looking for Jamaican style Oxtail. Before we had dinner. we strolled along the quaint, bohemian neighborhood. The crowd here was a mix of soccermoms pushing strollers while trying to relive their carefree university years in a place where old hippies go to fade away in the care of government social programs. With the air filled with the sounds of raggae and the scent of exotic smoke, we found Golden Patty! This bake shop has a number of Jamaican bakery favorites and hot food items, but we zeroed in on their fragrant and flaky Jamaican beef patties! They made a nice street snack before having dinner a little later. We were amazed at the flaky, fragrant crust. Though the filling was not so spicy, it was still tasty and a good amount. Golden Patty will be on our list to visit the next time we are in Toronto. VIDEO LINK: https://youtu.be/5WQNUXDbyn0 read more

Not much I can say that is new about this already iconic spot in Kensington. The patties are always great, probably my favorite in the city and my favorite offerings of this place, particularly the spicy beef. The oxtail and jerk chicken are very flavorful also, but I'd probably opt for rice options over the roti. The service is quick, and prices absolutely reasonable (check them out on ToGoodToGo also!). read more

While walking through Kensington Market I saw this spot on the corner and decided to try it out. This location is small but there was a line so it was a good thing. I decided to try the spicy beef Pattie's and they were amazing. I wish I would've tried the pork Pattie's ( I normally dnt see pork Pattie's). Inside was small, there wasn't any sitting room so it's more of a pick up your order and go type of place. The Pattie's are actually worth it. My friend had the mild ones and she enjoyed them also. I felt my Pattie's had a good amount of spice and I would get some More if I was in the neighborhood again. read more

Got a box of ackee n saltfish patties for $26 and got a standard spicy beef patty for $3 and one other patty which could be jerk patty... The spicy beef and jerk patty were alright, though, the filling ratio vs crust and such is not even. The ackee n saltfish was same issue and it was more salty than anything. For the price point, it wasn't very good overall. read more

This place is what one would call a neighborhood gem . It's a small space inside so with space and capacity limits it's common to wait outside but even before Covid this place always has customers. Whether it's Delicious Patties, baked goods or dishes to go like oxtail or curry goat. Definitely, not a place to eat inside. After all this time I'm surprised I haven't done a review! I usually go there for a patty and their version of a corn bread loaf. Whenever I'm in the area I try to grab one. They have a lot of bread options but this one remains my favourite. read more

It's the pastry that separates a good patty from a bad one. For me that's what makes the difference and these were excellent.

The value for money is good. However, you need the quality and taste to go along with that. Had the jerk chicken dinner. Great price - $7.99 and you get the chicken, rice (I had rice and peas), cold slaw, and a piece of lettuce and tomato. The serving portion was good. The chicken was not bad tasting but not exactly jerk chicken. While it did have some spice to it, it wasn't jerk chicken flavour. It tasted like it even had hoisin sauce in the seasoning. Just making chicken spicy doesn't make it jerk chicken. The rice and peas was horrible. It was just rice with beans thrown in. No seasoning. The cold slaw was also lacking. I also had a patty. Not enjoyable. It came in a Patty King bag, so I'm assuming it is that brand. It was no better than buying it from your supermarket frozen patties. read more

Got a mild beef patty to share with my daughter. Ewwwwwww is all I can say. We get boxed Tin Neal's patties from the grocery store that are 10000x better. A patty from a convenience store is remarkably better. When I think of a beef patty, I expect a flaky crust. This was disgusting-- an abomination. The doubles, on the other hand, were passable. But I just can't get over the patty. Ugh. 2 stars. read more

On our recent trip to Toronto, my Staten Island raised wife was on a quest to find the best Jamaican beef patty. The winner (by a sizable margin) was Golden Patty. The entire establishment screams authentic and homemade, with many of the customers coming from the local community. Both the spicy beef and the jerk chicken varieties were fantastic with well seasoned meat and flakey crusts, and the kids enjoyed the mild beef ones, as well. read more

Golden Patty - The jerk chicken patty - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Tucked away in Kensington market and a long standing store in the area. They offer patties and sandwiches. Other products they offer include baked goods, cookies cakes, bread, and pastry. I got the cassava cake, it wasn't too sweet, but I found the baked golden brown areas to be hard. The service is quick and staff are friendly. The bakery inside is not decorated, a true market feel in there, you get your goods and leave. Not a place to linger to look at other things. I'm sure this is a good place since it has lasted a long time in the Kensington market area. read more

Had to stop here after seeing it featured on "Worth It". Ordered a spicy beef patty and a double. I prefer doubles made with roti, and the flavor fell a little bit short for me. The spicy beef patty however, OMG so good and comforting. If you're strolling through Kensington Market and need a snack, this place is definitely worth trying out. Especially for the price! There's no seating inside so prepare to stand outside or do some multitasking of walking and eating. Def worth trying and hope they get some good business after being featured on Worth It! read more

Sure, patties are a cheap snack when you're in Toronto but that weird goo almost all of them are filled with does tend to suppress the appetite if you think too hard about it (which factors into their being cheap). Never fear - Golden Patty makes patties that are higher quality than your average patty. The range of patties here is wider than what you get virtually everywhere else. Besides the classic beef (spicy/mild) there's also vegetable, chicken, callaloo (Spinach), curry goat, ackee & saltfish, curry shrimp & jerk pork/chicken The curry shrimp patty is pretty small - smaller than the others. It was OK, with a sharp taste The jerk pork was decent tasting: not too spicy and actually had quite a lot of recognisable bits of meat inside (wow!). Ackee & saltfish had a nice mix of flavours - salted cod and fruit. Curry goat was decent and had discernable bits of meat inside The Ginger beer was rather dilute, with a hint of spiciness The patties get even better if you warm them in a real oven (their warmer is paltry) - you get to really appreciate the slightly flaky crust read more

Stopped by because I saw a line up so I thought it must be good! Got a classic beef patty. I thought they make them inhouse but they buy it wholesale from Patty King in Scarborough...says on the paper bag it's wrapped in (I'm from Scarborough so I could've saved myself the trip!). Not the healthiest snack with all the shortening, colouring and MSG, but it brings back nostalgia, reminiscent of my high school days. The jerk chicken rice my boyfriend got was bland. Plain white rice with no beans or sauce and the chicken was dry too :( read more

Stopped in while wandering the market with my hubby. We each ordered a patty. Bae chose the chicken curry option and I went with the spinach kind. This shop also sells various bread items and a few other foodstuffs. The patty was delicious. The pastry was super flaky yet thin and the spinach filling inside was so yummy. Babe said he really enjoyed his patty as well. Make sure you ask which patties they make home made and try those flavors first, so good. Great place to stop in for a quick snack! read more

I'm a Trinidadian and my most recent trip to my home country I ate my body weight in doubles. What is doubles to the ones who don't know? It is a flour based dough fried and stuffed with a curried chickpea base with pepper sauce. When I left Trinidad and went back to California it was sad knowing that I couldn't go to the savanna or the avenues to pick up a double or five to enjoy whether it was 1 in the afternoon or 2 in the morning. I tried making them, they came out ok, but there seemed to be something lacking. When my boyfriend and I were freezing over in the Kensington market area, I saw very small a little sign stating "doubles". Can it be? IT WAS! I walked in and took a look at the menu, in not sure if it was the -15 degree weather or the shear happiness from seeing the doubles but I was stuck in place. I was so excited! We were actually on our way to grab some lunch so I only ordered one. While I was waiting I noticed that they offered plenty of island flavor food, meat pie, jerk chicken, roti and many more. Of course within seconds my double was handed to me so I bundled up and took it to go. The slight heat was perfect with the insane cold weather! I loved it and it was a wonderful snack that took me back to the maracas beach even though I was freezing. read more

If you're hungry and want something inexpensive to fill your stomach, this is one place I would recommend. You can order a beef patty regular or spicy, and with or without coco bread. I've only had it spicy, but both with and without coco bread and I prefer it with coco bread. The spicy beef patty may not seem too spicy at first, but towards the end it can get quite spicy. The coco bread evens out the spiciness with its sweetness. There's nowhere to sit inside, but you probably won't need to sit for this meal. It's quick to eat and plus you should walk around Kensington Market instead :) read more

My review is strictly for the patties and their hardo bread loaves. I was walking by in Kensington Market and saw some patties in a window. THEY HAVE ACKEE AND SALTFISH PATTIES!!! I ran in and grabbed one of those along with a callaloo patty. They were HOT. They were FLAKY. They were like $2 US or less! It was beyond satisfying. On my last day in town, I came back and got another A&S patty, got my parents a sample of their cakes (Mango butter cake, sweet potato pudding cake, bread pudding cake, cassava), and a loaf of 9-grain hardo bread. Out of the cakes, the sweet potato one was the BEST. And that bread was phenomenal. What a gem this place is. read more

Pretty good food for an adequate price. Good if you in the area and are looking a for a quick snack.

When in Kensington Market, I saw quite a line here of lots of people getting stuff from here. Thought I might as well try this place out. I have had Jamaican food, but never tried West Indian food, and definitely not a patty. I ended up getting in line and ordering the Curry shrimp, Chicken and Beef patties. These were pretty delicious and when heated up in the air fryer went well with coffee and tea! Highly recommend!! read more

I found it really bland & lacked filling. The veggie patty lacked taste & filling. And where's the veggie protein? They should put some tofu or chickpeas/beans. I felt like I was just eating crust. & it wasn't even buttery crust. The beef pattie lacked filling 2. I remember the good 'Ole days when everywhere where I bought a pattie, it was gushing with juicy meat & gravy & no transfats. read more
