Bakers Dozen Caribbean Roots & Bakery

I am so disappointed. I came here with friends a couple years ago and bought patties which were delicious. I don't live nearby so this time when I finally got round to go I bought quite a few to enjoy with the family. These patties were dry and barely had filling. I opened up the Oxtail one and as you can see the filling was ridiculous. Very very disappointed!! I will never go back there.

Had to wait for ages on the street, as it aas busy snd they were Sloooww!!🙄 Bought some patties, but they didn't have most of the requested flavours! Found something like rope in one if my patties!! 😖

What can I say! Love their patties but the problem I have is…. FOOD TO SALTY! I ordered some liver and my god…. it salty so til. Come on people, make sure you taste the food before selling it to the public. Too many of us suffer with blood pressure and the salt does not help. Also customer service is very slow.

Firstly if you’re complaining about the wait.. you need to realise you’re in Brixton the shop is tiny & it is busy all day! They have 20+ flavours of patties, so mek sure you decide before you step forward. I got the Curry mutton, oxtail, jerk salmon & coco bread + fruit punch. They sell frozen & hot patties and they are DELICIOUS, SPICY, FLAVOURFUL & FRESH. This is a staple in the Lambeth community. You can find parking outside and the staff are very friendly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I bought a patty that was so delicious that I returned to the shop and purchased six more patties along with a juice. The juice I selected was seamoss mixed with another ingredient. It was too thick and lacked flavor. I often make seamoss gel for myself, and when I prepare seamoss juice, it has a distinct taste. I expressed my disappointment, even though the staff were very courteous. The juice was intended for my mother, who didn’t enjoy it, but they claimed everyone likes it that way. This is how the drink is supposed to be made; however, if it doesn’t suit me as a customer, they could have offered a refund or exchanged it for a drink that is less bland and thick like a gel. It resembled a gel and was marketed as a juice. It was unfortunate because I really liked the patty. I chose not to argue and decided to take my business elsewhere.

I have tried a few varieties of their patties and none of them has let me down the pastry is so nice & it's full of filling so definitely worth it & I've also tried there lobster & prawn (seafood) soup packed with flavour I haven't got round to trying their other foods yet but it sure does look very tasty & I will. Service is good even on a busy day. Clean shop. Customer service has been good when I've gone there.

There is an abundance of Jamaican patties in London but one should make trip to Bakers Dozen Caribbean Roots because they have all the patties under the sun from Lobster, Fish, Prawn, Vegetarians options to Oxtail!! Located in a residential area, it is off the radar from the city but expect queues and a wait before you get served. Luckily, they are well stocked so you won't be disappointed. As well as patties they have fried chicken, noodles, prawn dishes, mac and cheese so your complete Caribbean fix is right in front of you!! I got there around 16:23 and the tiny shop was filled with people and when I left around 16:40 there was a long queue outside!! Since it was a one off visit I got the lobster, prawn, fish, jerk chicken and oxtail patty! The star of the show is definitely the lobster and this is probably the only place you can get it in London and for £3.50 it would be a sin not to try. For that price, I don't expect chunks of lobsters but I found some crustacean pieces which could be red prawn or lobster but I give it the benefit of doubt that it is lobster. Overall, I found the lobster, prawn and fish very similar because the filling was mixed with pumpkin and it was very spicy and salty. The oxtail patty is also worth trying because this is the only way it is boneless and it was minced very finely, again I give it the benefit of doubt that it is oxtail. To summarize, I am glad I tried this place.

I’ve been there three times just for patties. Worth every penny!! The filling is full and the pastry is the right consistency. Never let me down. I’ve tried the lobster, prawn, chicken and beef. The line is long for a reason! And they never get an order wrong (well every time I’ve been there) staff are friendly too. I would go back to try their other meals
