    Chicken Patty- the best one I've had by far
    Najwa G.

    Kingston, tropical bakery gets a lot of hype, but is very deep in the Bronx. However, when there is a will, there is a way. I went on a party haul for a lack of better terms and got several of each flavor. The beef- pretty good, but I personally like the one at Kingston Bakery Harlem significantly more. The one here is too mushy inside truth be told. Kingston Bakery Harlem has the perfect consistency and right amount of spice. The vegetable- also pretty good, but could have had more flavor. I did like that they gave more than enough veggies. As I am a huge Jamaican patty fan, I will say that the best vegetable patty that I've had is at One Stop Patty Shop in Harlem. The seasoning is perfect, it is not dry, and the corn gives it a nice touch. The chicken- this totally makes up for the beef and the vegetable patties as it was the best by far. The chicken was very flavorful and not mushy at all. It is easily the best Jamaica chicken patty that I've had. All in all, if I do go back to Kingston Tropical Bakery, it would solely be for their perfect chicken patties.

    The meatloaf, chicken patties are amazing highly recommend. Clean place, cash only fast & friendly service. You must come here

    I would give this place a five but because Im always honest, I'm not to crazy about the crust on this patty. It's not that flaky, crispy style I'm used to having when I eat a beef patty. I will tell you the filling is the best I've ever had so far. So delicious, you can see some of the peppers and garlic that was used when it was made. I just really wish they would change the crust. The cocoa bread was five stars. I mean I brought one just to have with my patty and I turned around and literally brought more to take home. You can tell it was freshly made. Customer service was great. No judgements are made. You feel welcomed in. I would definitely return here for that spicy flavored meat and soft baked bread that go together like P&J. This place gets two thumbs up from me. -Happy Yelping!

    Jamaican Patty Cravings = Satisfied! Came here after work, and let me tell you--worth every bite! This spot is small, just like it looks from the outside, but they know what they're doing. Quick, easy service had me in and out in no time. I got a chicken patty and a beef patty--both hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. Added coco bread because that's the only way to do it right. After this meal, I was ready for a nap but had no regrets. Things to note: Cash only Parking is rough They only carry chicken, beef, and veggie patties--so plan accordingly!

    If there's one thing I know, today's technology does a great job of paying attention to your likes and creating suggestions. I randomly looked up beef patties in my area and Kingston Tropical Bakery came up. I bookmarked it on Yelp and since then, it continued to be a suggestion on my Yelp timeline and Google. I took the hint and finally visited on a Saturday afternoon. The bakery is in the heart of the Caribbean community in the Bronx. Street parking was plentiful however, I'm not so sure if that was a rare occurrence. As I stepped in, I felt a cozy presence. The shop is small but the fresh smell of baked goods is large! It reminded me of the patty shops in Jamaica. There was a line, nothing too crazy and it moved fast. Their menu is pretty basic, it includes a small variety of patties and some baked goods. I decided to go for their beef patty and cocoa bread. My order was up within seconds and I paid. I brought everything home to enjoy with my boyfriend. Firstly, the patties were fresh and hot. The crust is'nt as flaky as I like and what I am accustomed too however, the filling is delicious! It had a tasty blend of seasonings. From what I could see, there was some fresh herbs and onions used. To top it all off, the cocoa bread was heavenly! Now, I'm not a huge fan of cocoa bread because in the past, its either been dry or had a bland taste. Not at this bakery, the serving I received was nice and soft. It also had a tinge of sweetness, literally perfect. It's a pity I only bought 1 because my boyfriend and I were picking at it and trying to make it last between us lol. Overall, the meal was delicious! In terms of service, the staff were moving pretty quickly, so there wasn't much interaction however, they were kind. In terms of cost, I paid $10.50 for 2 patties and 1 cocoa bread. Pricing is a little on the higher side when compared to Golden Krust but I think the quality is worth it. Unfortunately, it is a cash only establishment, so be prepared. They offer an ATM inside if needed. Overall, it was a good visit. I will definitiely be returning as I'd like to try their hard dough bread and another type of patty. Highly recommended!

    Spot is small, clean, and efficient spot only accepts cash definitely worth a visit. They move very quickly and efficiently I tried the meatloaf and chicken patty, and both were delicious....fresh, flavorful, and expertly made. If I lived nearby, I'd likely be on 600 Pound Life from enjoying these treats regularly. Kingston's Bakery is a must-visit for anyone

    The joy of a perfectly made beef patty is hard to forget and Kingston Tropical Bakery certainly dishes out a stellar beef patty that is well worth getting! The menu is straightforward with multiples types of patties, breads, cakes and some juices. The beef patty with cocoa bread and a carrot cake loaf are my go-to orders and I would recommend the carrot cake which is moist, not overly sweet, and packed with taste. The whole environment and service are no frills and they keep things moving quickly. I would definitely suggest stopping by here if you happen to be in the area or passing through!

    The cakes here are delicious. They are known for the Boston Cream pie but everything is great…read more The workers are courteous & professional. In a part of Morris Park that's changed, Conti's is a great asset. My constructive criticism on Conti's. I ordered 2 cakes online. Paid in full for both last week. They gave me a pickup window 9AM. I show up early & there's a big line. I ask a worker & she says there's 1 line. She states there's 1 line for picking up a cake paid in full, ordering a new cake, getting coffee, getting pastries. Guys NO GOOD! Why pay in full & order a week prior? You should have 2/3 lines. 1 line picking up cakes paid in full only. 1 bread line only. 1 line for new orders. I mean this criticism as constructive

    a pound of cookies went from $15 to $22 in a year. I understand the economy is bad, but 10 cookies…read morefor $22?? that's highway robbery. I remember when Conties would price the specialty cheesecakes to $30-$35 max. a 12inch pistatchio cheesecake is $46???? i know for a fact the employees dont get paid enough for the price of a cheesecake to increase that dramatically. one of the girls said the pies/cakes are made a week before they're sold, so the price on soon to expire pastries is insane. for $46 dollars I can get a larger and better quality cheesecake in Manhattan. The ladies behind the counter look unhappy and find every request to be inconvenient. this place is definitely ripping you off. UPDATE: I opened the box of cookies for my friend, she reached for the first cookie and as soon as she took a bite, she pulled out a blond hair from the cookie. $22 dollars for cookies full of hair. I'm never going back.

I just wanted to thank you personally for the wonderful cake you created in honour of my 50th birthday. I was so impressed and so was everyone else!!! Your attention to detail is incredible and very much appreciated. From the individual blades of grass, delicate little flowers, strands of hair blowing in the wind and the specs (how on earth did you do those?!) It seemed such a shame to have to cut into it, but I'm glad we did because the cake itself was a delicious light sponge with a delicate orangey tang and creamy butter icing, just perfect and just what I wanted J. Your creativity and artistry really made my party-meal special and I would certainly recommend you to all of my friends without hesitation. Rest assured that we will definitely be using your services to plan future family celebrations.

I went to the 9 w W burnside ave Bronx NY I ordered 2 dozens cupcakes I wanted that traditional Valencia taste. To my disappointment they were tuff so dry nobody even attempted to finish one.

We should've cut them & inverted them smh i said kids here we're not going to do that . Then she raved on how many orders a day come in& out and how one customer byes everyday that cupcake . Again I was polite reassuring her I loved Valencia & I said I wasn't trying & to insult her but she didn't for once apologize or take responsibility for her product or business. I'm so disappointed . She was so defensive & dismissive . Won't go there anymore .
