Amazing baked goods. The black rum cake is out of this world. The spice buns are authentic. Hard dough bread, whole wheat bread, Bulla Cakes are extremely tasty. Excellent customer service! A pleasure to do business with! read more

After seeing a post on IG I decided to try the beef pattie and coco bread. The crust was soft and flakey but in my opinion, the filling was just ok. The coco bread was soft, fluffy and warm. I also bought a currant roll, which was filled with currants, flakey crust and was really delicious. read more

I'm from New York but live out of state. Everytime I come to Brooklyn, l get a dozen beef patties frozen to take home. My son loves them

Great food, good service. I have been going here for years and they have never disappointed. I tell everyone if you want good buns, bread and patties stop here as it is also convenient as it is right next to a subway stop. read more

Outstanding fresh and delicious patties and coco bread served with a smile at a great value. Ask them about the history of the business. A real NYC love story. Support the local Brooklyn greats! They accept apple pay, but locals know cash is always appreciated. read more

Get the beef patty with cheese. It's so good. I asked for a few beef patties, and somehow, the one with cheese was in the bag. I'm very glad it was in the bag, as I will make sure to get the beef patty with cheese the next time I visit. read more

Tropical House Baking - Beef patty - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I came in yesterday to pick up some patties for the first time after seeing the reviews. To my surprise seemed to be an authentic Jamaican Bakery selling patties, fresh baked breads and an assortment of other baked goods. I ordered both chicken and beef patties for my family and we enjoyed them both especially the beef patty. It really is the best patties in Bklyn. The fresh baked hard dough bread was nice and fresh as well. The service was also very expedited and the ambience is typical of a bakery with the aroma of fresh baked goods.. Give them a try.

* CASH ONLY* Ordered a beef patty w coco bread but No warm coco bread was waiting for me. It wasn't horrible but wasn't my favorite place in the world to come get me a beef patty. Bread was a little dry and kind of stale. The patty had an ok amount of filling and was a little sweet. read more

First time in NYC my boyfriend said I had to try the beef Pattie's OMG these suckers are delicious. Full of flavor I prefer the beef vice the chicken (was curry flavored with potatoes). Requested a dozen frozen so I can take back with me to Florida. I am told the bread is made daily it shows was very fresh and soft. Grocery store is right beside it and no parking of course so doubled parked was out in less than 5 minutes. read more

Tropical House Baking - Beef patty - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Tropical House Baking is located in the heart of Crown Heights (close to Eastern Parkway) and within close proximity to other Caribbean bakeries. The prices are a moderate. I ordered a beef patty for $3.00 and veggie patty for $2.75. Both tasted freshly made. Surprisingly, the veggie patty tasted better than the beef patty. The veggie patty was well seasoned. Although good, the beef patty was moderately seasoned and could've used more heat (spice). The restaurant is takeout only; there's no indoor or outdoor dining. Staff and patrons are separated by a protective glass shield. Service is very fast. Regarding payment options, I'm not sure if Tropical House Baking accepts card payment because I paid with cash. read more

Wayyyyyy better than commercial patties. They're fresh and the bread OMG. The hard dough bread is made on-site so if you time it right, you'll get a fresh one and it's amazing. The recipe reminds me of Gig Young. I used to love that bakery growing up. Service is great too btw. They're never rude or nasty to customers. They take card and cash too now, which is perfect because a lot of times I don't have cash. read more

I usually buy chicken patties. I don't know why I chose beef but nonetheless it was still worth it. The patty was fresh and juicy. You can tell it was freshly made compared to other patty places that have them their for hours. It had a hint of spice. The o lot reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because the place looks a little dingy probably it's been there for many years. I'll definitely go back to these nearby bakery. Also it's cash only. read more

Duck bread, duck bread, duck bread! Soft, scrumptious, perfect taste and texture. Excellent, delicious, hearty and always consistently good. I Strongly recommend you purchase their duck bread. Their patties are also delicious. Parking is tricky in the area, so call to make sure they're open before you arrive. Enjoy! read more

So I have this running competition with some friends... I think the best beef patties can be found in Brooklyn.. They think the best patties are found in the Bronx. Now I humored them and tried one of the patties from the BX.. and I have admit it was good. So I searched and searched and found this Bk spot.. I had high hopes from the reviews I read.. The patties looked okay and guess what tasted good too.... But.. there is always but. They were stingy with the portion of meat in the patties. There simply was not enough meat in the patties. I had a mouth full of bread and not enough meat. They should visit this practice. For now the Bronx us holding strong. read more

Lately, I seem to be developing a thing for savory turnovers. First it was empanadas. From BK's lovely Empanada City, to be exact. And now patties from here: So yeah... Tried both the Chicken and Veggie Patties, and the former was definitely the winner. Especially its perfectly seasoned (read: not shy with either allspice or scotch bonnets), generous filling. The Veggie Patty was stuffed with a random-seeming mix of vegetables that included potatoes, peas, and corn, if memory serves. Filling was on the bland side; not really sure why Veggie Patties are never kicked up in the same way as the meat ones. It also featured the usual whole wheat style crust that so often encases Veggie Patties. Not a big fan. Plus they don't do Callaloo Patties here for some reason... But I digress. Interior is as tiny and closet-summoning as others have alluded to and the bullet-proof glass window that separates staff and customers is no joke. I found that it made it near impossible to communicate with the employee who was helping us, as I had some questions about some of the menu items I wasn't familiar with. Speaking of which, also tried some mystery Spice Bread that had great flavor, but was on the dry side. Bottom line: Would definitely return for more Chicken Patties and also to try the Beef-filled ones. read more

Tropical House Baking - Men-u should try this place. - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Really don't get the hype? Patties are severely lacking in flavor. Cocoa bread very dry. I had the beef and the veggie. The veggie pattie was bland and I can't stand a million peas inside my pattie. The beef was also very bland and dry. The crust which is my favorite part was flavorless and dry. I had high hopes but I will stick to Tastee Pattee. read more

Me and my family have been going to this Bakery since the 80s. It's quite possibly theee best place on planet Earth to get freshly baked beef patties. The taste, smell, flaky soft golden crust and spices haven't changed in over 30yrs. If you're looking for a place to taste real Jamaican beef patties look no further, this is the real deal, best you'll ever try. read more

Dem patties jamaican me craaazy! Have just one, and every time you walk down Schenectady, you'll "FOLLOW YOUR NOSE!" Cause trust me- it WILL know! A one month sublet round the corner - AND being confined to crutches, has meant scouring Schenectady and the surrounding Utica perimeters (Last stop on the 4 train) for some good local treats. Even if it's a little something something to silence that hungry grrrrowl! While I've had Jamaican patties from your wah-wah-wah Golden Krust variety (multiple locations) to some random bakeries and food joints around Brooklyn (even along both Flatbush & Nostrand), boys and grrrls...(drumroll please~...) I CROWN these: THE BOMB! Baffled to see not a single review, I had to do a little extra sleuthing ... Dennis Young is "Jamasian"- a Chinese Jamaica. Speaking to his Korean wife, I found out this humble little bakery stand (it's all point and take away- no sit and eat) has been around for close to 30 years (29 and change)! I've thoroughly enjoyed my AHA moments while seated on a nearby Eastern Parkway bench savoring every tasty bite of those curry-inspired chicken patties. They're my faaaave AND... the best $1.50 you'll find yourself spending here in Brooklyn!~ Too, I've decided it makes PERFECT sense: 1. HOW one might master the art of the Jamaican patty in 3 decades 2. WHY their assortment of baked goods can be found locally within grocery stores 3. WHY this Crown Heights gem is a must-try!! While there's a large variety of breads (coco!) and treats, I'm always blinded by my passion for these patties! They're always oven hot, baked and NOT fried, and service behind the glass window is always uber-friendly! Preferring my crust less crunchy, and more hearty, one look at these picture-perfect golden pockets, and you too will be running this way for some homemade Jamaican goodness! read more

Strongly in the running for Best Crown Heights Pattie, The dough is a smidge tougher than Silver Krust, which in this case is a good thing, as Silver Krust's excessive flakiness and tenderness has a little bit of a too-French feeling. The filling is savory and meaty. The patties are just the right size to offer the perfect filling-to-crust ration in every bite. The coconut tarts are delicious as well, with a strong hit of spice that lets you know you're eating Caribbean. You can tell this restaurant has seen 30 years of Crown Heights michegas because the friendly staff is completely encased in industrial-strength bullet-proof glass, but the food that comes through the turntable makes you glad they've survived this long and hope the encroaching gentrification doesn't kill the excellent long-time businesses on Schenectady Ave. read more

You order through bullet proof glass and place your money into a revolving platform. Delicious, juicy, moist, fluffy, are all accurate descriptions of their patties. Unlike other beef patties I had, you can actually see the pieces of ground beef when you bite inside. They are just peppery enough to have you wanting more but not so much that your mouth burns. Always served piping hot, careful if you may burn your mouth. They also serve veggie and chicken patties, I liked the beef the most They also have a large selection of sweet pastries. I enjoyed the currant roll, almoat like raisin bread. Their giant coconut macaroon was moist and chewy. Coco bread is just bread that's slightly sweet, didn't taste any coco or coconut Homemade ginger beer was had plenty of ginger but was much too sweet and not very carbonated At 1.50 a patty, I'll definitely be back! read more

I am very nostalgic to this place, I've been attending Tropical house since the age of 10 years old. There has been a long length of time since I've been back but I always remember eating the best Beef Patty I've every eaten from there and always hold them in very high regard. Today was the first time I've been back in a very long time. I've always told my coworkers this is the best patty you can find in NYC if not the country.... brought a couple patties back to work and they totally agree with me. Please remember this is off of a long 10+ year lay off of not making time to go back to Tropical House. I will make it my duty to continue to support this business no matter the distance of where I live and work. Thank you for supplying the community with a consistent patty over the past 20+ years. read more

I bypassed my usual beef patty spot in Brooklyn to try this new one and was pissed. LOL. I wasnt put off by the bullet-proof glass divider because safety comes first. What I was put off by was the untasty patties and hard ass coco bread. The patties reminded me of the frozen patties you get in the supermarket. I am sorry because I saw the rave reviews on Yelp and couldnt believe what was in my mouth when I tasted them. Shockingly I enjoyed the veggie patty better than the beef. Next time I want my mouthwatering spicy patties I will trek it to my regulart spot at "Pitkin Caribbean Bakery." read more

So I was born and raised in Crown Heights and I think I only went to this bakery once as a child--I don't know why we didn't go more but better late than never. I was actually playing around with the Yelp app and tapped the monocle feature (you tilt your phone and nearby business pop up) and saw Tropical House Bakery. Tropical House Bakery is an Asian-Jamaican bakery where you can get your savory and sweet island baked goods. After reading the reviews, I bookmarked it to try the next time I'm home. I'm really glad I checked this place out! It's a no-frills place--can comfortably hold three people at a time and as mentioned in other reviews, you have to place your order through the bulletproof glass; you place your money in the box thingy and swivel it to the other side to get your food. I ordered two beef patties, two chicken patties and one veggie patty with coco bread. I didn't get to try the chicken and veggie patties (step-father ate them...grrr) but the beef patty was on point. It was nice and spicy with a flaky but not too flaky crust, which is just the way I like it. I'll definitely get more the next time I'm home--I'll just have to do a better job hiding them ;-). read more

I'm not used to going to bakeries with bulletproof glass. I'm not saying they don't exist, I just tend not to visit them. With that said, one day while craving a beef patty and missing the taste of the homemade patties that my grandmother used to make, I ventured in to find a little lady behind lots of glass and a line that almost extended to the sidewalk (that last point is a pretty good sign). I ordered a beef patty though there were many other options on the menu. It was recently baked and hit the hunger spot. For a $2 snack it wasn't bad, but I wasn't overwhelmed. I wouldn't run past this place, but wouldn't exactly run to it either. Again I'm biased and was comparing it to beef patties of the past filled with love and bundled in nostalgia. Totally not a fair comparison, but it's my reference point. read more

Great patties, along with everything else. I grew up in Bed Study and went to Tropical House since I was a baby (I'm in my late thirties now). I no longer live in NYC, but visited my family this weekend. We stocked up with DOZENS of patties and other baked goods. Besides the patties, I love the Totoes ("toe-toes"). I do miss the Coconut Bread, which they stopped making years ago. read more

Beef Patty = Great. Chicken Patty = AWESOME. This place is around the corner from a beautiful Catholic Church and is wedged between two larger business with big awnings. The beef, chicken and veggie patties are all $1.70. They are great for such a cheap price. A girl could eat two, and a guy can be stuffed with 3. There is a surprising punch of spice when you bite into the chicken patty, I highly recommend you try all three. read more

Co-worker just brought in a batch of Jamaican Patties from this place. I have to say these were one of the best patties I have ever encountered. I usually do not review unless I taste a few different items from the menu, luckily there was a variety. We had the Chicken, the beef, and the veggies. The crust was firm but moist. The filling was perfect, well seasoned and fresh. I recommend this restaurant and I am definitely going back for more. Especially during the Holiday Season! read more

I've only tried the chicken, beef, and veggie patties, but they have been hot, fresh, and delicious every time. I would have never known if it wasn't for Yelp since the place looks so run down and is basically a hole in the wall.

I've been going here for 17 yrs. Everything is delicious from the pudding,bulla,patties. One of my many fav resturants in bk

I was in the area for work and googled the closest patty restaurant in the area. I read the previous yelp reviews so I was not surprised to find a bullet proof glass. I was surprised to find out that is run by Jamaicans of Asian decent. The patty was very good. I ordered a mild beef patty, which was very tasty. I would say this place is definitely better than Golden Krust. If I am in there area, I am definitely coming back! read more
