I have always wanted to try Jamaican patties, and I heard this location sells the best. I made the trip, and it was definitely worth it! Inside is efficient, the shop is more of a grab and go. I got my order of one beef patty, one chicken patty, and one coco bread for $10. We ate outside, and it was delicious! Especially while it is pipping hot, the beef was so flavorful with all the right spices. The crust was not too thick, perfectly flaky. The coco bread was so soft and sweet, complementing the patty well. The chicken patty was also good with good spice, but my favorite has to be the beef. I will be back for more! read more

Kingston Tropical Bakery - 1 Dozen Beef - Bakeries Near Me - Bronx, New York

Absolutely fantastic--ten out of ten, I can't recommend this place highly enough! Having grown up in Brooklyn and spent countless hours along Flatbush Avenue, I know what an authentic Jamaican beef patty should taste like, and this spot nails it. The flavors are straight from the 1980s, bringing back those nostalgic vibes. The crust is perfectly flaky, and the filling--just the right amount of spice and meat--is a true delight. And if you're in the mood for something extra, they offer fresh, hand-made bread that's simply irresistible! But don't stop at the patties! This gem is a must-visit for their Easter Bun & Cheese, and all the traditional Jamaican drinks you crave. Think refreshing Sea Moss, homemade Carrot Juice, and the creamy goodness of Peanut Punch. The place itself is small and immaculately clean, but don't expect any seating--this is a grab-and-go kind of spot! The customer service is top-notch; the staff is friendly and attentive, and they appreciate decisiveness. So, have your order ready when it's your turn! Food quality? Absolutely a perfect score: 10 out of 10! You won't want to miss this place. read more

When I used to eat meat this was my go to spot for beef patties and coco bread, the patties were always hot and tasty , worth every penny you paid . I still go to Kingston bakery for my bun and cheese or Bulla cakes . If you're up in the BX over by white plains road drop on in you can thank me later. read more

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. read more

Kingston Tropical Bakery - Chicken Patty- the best one I've had by far - Bakeries Near Me - Bronx, New York

I saw a food reviewer on instagram show off the food and I happen to be in the area same day so I said let's do it. I got all 4 types of patties. Beef, chicken, vegetable & meatloaf. They go for $3.50 each. The meatloaf is a bit larger and goes for $4. The beef was solid 100%. The chicken was good. The veggy although season well and spicy wasn't my cup of tea. Cabbagy and sauerkraut like IMO. The meatloaf tasted great but there was barely any meat filling which was a disappointment. If it was filled as generous as the beef patty, it would have been a homerun. There was no line as others have mentioned. I was in and out in 2 min. Others mention a less than friendly staff. I have to sadly agree. I don't need the red carpet rolled out and a Colgate smile ear to ear but you also don't have to be a stone faced grump. I would def go back for the beef patties. Maybe give the meatloaf one more shot. Kingston Tropical - In mon! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

What happened? I have been going to this bakery for over 25 years and has always been my favorite in the Bronx. However, since the COVID lockdown, something has changed!!! Sirs/madame, please revert back to the original ingredients, please and thank you. The patty crusts are super greasy, the cinnamon buns, are lacking cinnamon and raisins!! The nutmeg bread is tasteless. Sirs, please let get back to what had lines outside the door, it was the quality ingredients! read more

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 read more

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! read more

Yeah it speaks to my soul. Me can't tell you enough how Delicious their Patties and their coco breads are! read more

This place sells amazing patties and coco bread, all their breads are good as a matter of fact. The young lady and the guy that takes your order has ZERO personality and doesn't seem to care about your matters, it's literally like talking to two stones, they have not a care in the world, plus they charge 50 cents for a bag in this place, one of the reasons I started limiting my visits here. And please, put those two people at the front in the back somewhere where people won't have to see or deal with them! The food is great, but service for me speaks volume, the way you interact with your patrons is very important for business and that for me at this place is very poor. I actually spoke to the owner one day and she's a very pleasant and sweet lady, so I'll bring the service up to 3 stars instead of a minus 4. read more

Cash only. This place has been here for many years and the quality never diminishes.The coco bread still has that pillow soft, buttery texture. The beef patty still not stingy with the filling. Seasoning is always on point. The meatloaf patty is still delectable. Service fast and easy. Polite in the NYC way. Place is always clean as most carribean places are. It's always worth the travel and price point. I'm never let down coming here. Best patties and bread to this day! read more

I must say, the food was very tasty and would definitely be back for some more. The service was great also I always like a clean place.

Worst patties I ever had! You gotta be kidding me with all these good reviews- dough is rock hard, meat over seasoned & too wet- never again! BUT! The Carrot cake was great and the hot Coco Bread was the best ever! If in the area, try the Coco Bread & Carrot Cake- leave the nasty patties for the sweeper- also, the attitudes in this spot is very brash & rude in that "British Islander " kind of ruff manor- please know what you want when you get up front- or the attitude will BEGIN! What a turn off.... read more

The best selection of patties and the taste and freshness of the coco bread exceeds all patty places around . Two thumps up .

A very good friend referred me to this bakery, saying, "They have the best chicken patties and cocoa bread." Naturally, I had to give them a try. I visited today around 2:30 PM and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't crowded. The smell of freshly baked goods as I entered was absolutely amazing. I ordered two chicken patties, one cocoa bread, and picked up two additional items. I was helped by both a man and a woman, but unfortunately, neither of them smiled, spoke, or displayed even basic customer service skills. The man, in particular, had a facial expression that came across as angry or hostile. Honestly, I felt like a character in the Soup Nazi episode from Seinfeld--. (No offense to anyone. Just a joke.) To make matters worse, my friend, who accompanied me, went back in to purchase a few more things. When he asked the male employee a simple question to confirm the order, the response was, "You got what you asked for." That was unnecessarily rude. A simple, "Yes, that's correct, sir," would have gone a long way. While the food and prices were great, I won't be returning because the service was very disappointing. read more

This family owned business is till amazing. I have been going to them for patties, bread etc. for over 40 year's!!!!

I had to visit the adjacent fabric store several times while helping my son with his Halloween costume. During our first visit to the area, I picked up some patties from my usual goto, Champion Bakery, which is down the street. That used to be a staple for my family, especially whenever we had functions. We would always get cocktail patties for parties and get togethers. I remember a friend telling me that Tropical was good but I hadn't had them in years. Champion has been falling off IMO because their patties are all dough and hardly any fill. Their cocktail patties have become dry as well. I decided to check out Tropical in a later visit. My kids also had the opportunity to try both and I have to say that from now on I will be getting my patties and coco bread from Tropical going forward. Their patties are spicy and FULL! They're not as flaky but I like their buttery crust and the coco bread is soooo good! It's soft and buttery in its own right as well. They also sell pre-packaged bun and cheese for $3.50 and the size is huge in comparison to their competitors down the road. I inquired as to whether they sell cocktail parties and they do, for $10/dozen. Welcome to the rotation... read more

Have been going to this location for over 40 years. Everything is wholesome and cooked at the location so it's always fresh. Freshest patties and Cocoa bread I ever had. Unfortunately I moved down south and haven found anything close. Baked goods and drinks are great as well! Wish they shipped out of state. read more

I was able to smell the goods down the street as I walked towards the bakery. There was a long line but it moved fast. It's cash only but they have an ATM available. I ordered a dozen beef and then 2 veggie and 2 meatloaf just to try. The meatloaf I thought would be a patty with an actual meatloaf inside. It wasn't lol. It's the beef patty filling baked inside of a coco bread. The veggie was delightful and very well seasoned. The star of the show however and of course was the beef. I was worried at first cause they didn't have spicy or mild selections like other places, because I usually get the spicy. Theirs however has the perfect spice to it. The crust was slightly sweet and it was definitely filled. The customer service was actually good as well, which IYKYK when it comes to Jamaican establishments, which is what had be a bit worried before I tried the patties, LOL. Everyone that I had try it loved them as well! read more

Beef patties with Coco bread, best in the Bronx, best in NYC period! Handmade, homemade everything. The meat, delicious, no fillers.

Service with a smile. read more

So...usually people go for beef or chicken I imagine...but the VEGGIE PATTIE... o...m..f..g.. I am no vegetarian or vegan but that's my favorite. Definite must try people. Get there early though the line can go around the block which is itself an indication of how good their patties are. read more

Food is always incredible. I buy the patties by the dozens. I come down from upstate New York yes to get their patties read more

Went and brought some patties service is good the only thing is its not as flaky as the one I had when I went to Jamaica but try it.

It's OK, but definitely the best in the Bronx. Can't go wrong with the beef fatty or the oxtail.

Very good fresh every thing I would definitely go back there definitely. Line moves fast

The best beef patties I ever had. The people are courtesy. The patties are just flavorful and consistent. Not too much pastry but a lot of meat. I remember when they were like $1.25, $1.50 now they are $3.50 each! The coco bread is freshly baked. You can smell the greatness when you walk in the store. They have other breads and buns as, well. Drinks are against the wall. Just thinking of this place makes me want to go buy a dozen to store at home. read more

I happened to be on my way to the bronx, my wife remembered that this place was in her list spots for best jamaican patties. So we got a few patties, coco bread and a kola champagne and we snack while parked right outside in the corner. The bread was warm, out of the oven, there was a line out the door to get into the store, but i have to say the trip and the wait was definitely worth it. Highly recommend it, delicious freshly made patties, excellent option to go. Next time, i will be sure to get more patties, so we can bring them back home.
