Hammond's Bakery

I’ve been a loyal Hammond’s customer for many years. Even while living out of state, I regularly had a dozen Callaloo patties shipped to me. Recently, I made the drive from West Palm Beach, where I now live, to pick up my usual order in person. On the way home, I couldn’t resist enjoying one of the patties—and it was just as delicious as I remembered. But to my surprise, the next one I bit into was filled with ground stew chicken. As it happened, the entire batch had been mislabeled. I contacted the bakery, and I was truly impressed by how quickly and professionally the management team handled the situation. Not only did they identify and correct the issue right away, but they went above and beyond by personally delivering a fresh batch of patties directly to my home. And let me just say—they were the best I’ve ever had from Hammond’s: perfectly flaky and full of flavor. To make up for the mix-up, they included six additional patties in the delivery—three of which were ackee and saltfish, and just as delicious. This kind of transparency, responsiveness, and generosity defines outstanding customer service. Hammond’s is setting the standard, and I couldn’t be more appreciative.

Ordered twice for delivery through a third party app, depending on how busy the place gets one might have to wait longer for the delivery, the patties were fresh and tasty, loved the coco bread too, the only thing I did not enjoy was the banana cake, this being an Island food establishment I expected real banana cake, this was a piece or regular cake with artificial banana flavor. It was worth it though.

The service is great, the lady who serves the food is such a sweetheart and the atmosphere is like the typical Caribbean bakery...but.....the food is a definite no for me. The funny thing is that I bought 4 beef patties and 2 rum cake slices and my husband and I both spit out the first bite in unison 😅 both the patty and the cake were extremely old tasting the cat didn't even want the patty and he eats everything 😭

26 and I get all bones and it looks so dark wasting my money all I paid for was dark bones no meat at all smh So disappointed

I am a Jamaican and I wanted some fruit cake( black cake). I was so Amp to get in and I purchased 2 slices because of the reviews and I was leaving to go back out of state. The cake flavors were way too strong and it made the cake bitter. I was really looking forward to it. Customer service was ok because when I went inside, the 2 ladies were having a conversation and it continued while I was placing my order and it wasn't about my order.

I ordered delivery from here today based off the reviews and boy was I disappointed. 😞 I ordered oxtails, curry chicken, and brown stew chicken all dinners comes with rice and peas, cabbage, and plaintains. First I have to say that the packaging was horrendous, its like they piled a whole lot of rice in a small cheap container and the gravy was spilled in all of the bags, a complete mess. I first had to open each bag and container and transfer the food to bowls and rush to get the bags out of the house. After transferring the food to bowls I was finally able to fix our plates to eat. The only meat 2 of my family members eat is chicken and I'm the only one that eats beef. I tasted both the brown stew and curry chicken and it was just meh...they didn't like it at all. So I fix my oxtail plate and sit down to eat, I wish I had read the review on here about the burnt oxtails, then I probably wouldn't have ordered them because that review was absolutely correct. They were burnt and tasted burnt which made the rice with the gravy taste burnt. I had to throw the whole thing in the garbage. Thankfully the app I ordered on gave me back the $17 plus tax for that plate. Although we threw the rest of the food away I didn't complain. I do know that I will never order from this place again. 😒 Oh, another thing, I ordered 3 patties a spicy beef, mild beef and a jerk chicken and all I can say is they were just ok.

The best patties my wife had in a while, I didn't get one because I thought the spicy was too spicy, and that was all they had at the time.

Hammond's bakery never changes. When I'm in the area I still stop in to get some Jamaican patties. I went in and ordered several to go. Just as delicious as they were over 25 years ago.

Hammond's does patties right! Going for a patties run once a week has become a thing. I've always loved their food and patties, yet it's always more enjoyable when great food is shared. The ladies on the counter always with a sweet greeting, the fresh varieties of patties that satisfy our work team is a huge plus. The vibes when you step into Hammond's and conversations or laughter is heard makes this spot special. It's a Jamaican ting I love and sharing it with my coworkers is a plus!

I found the staff to be very friendly and sweet. I tried a mild beef patty as they and also a chicken one..both were piping hot and good. I preferred the chicken one, and enjoyed the sweet element to it. I would recommend if you like Jamaican patties.

Growing up in Queens, NY. I was surrounded my delicious Caribbean food. It's been a journey in Soflo looking for killer beef patties. This is it! I live in Miami and pay about $17 in delivery fees alone to have a box arrive at my door fresh, warm, and memorable. The spicy beef patty is actually spicy and hits the spot every time. If you're a local and you haven't tried these, you are missing out!

The Jamaican patties are delicious, but too much filling tends to ruin the patty, i wish the dough was more crispy and flaky

OK, so I was excited to try this place, the reviews kind of deterred me but then I added it back on my list in search of finding the best Jamaican patties in Miami. I should have just left it off the list and followed my first mind. When I got there, the lady immediately told me that the patties will be ready in about 15 minutes and it would be beef. I saw some patties already out and asked her about it. She confirmed they were the curry chicken which was the one that I wanted because in the TikTok video that I saw it looks so delicious. I got the curry chicken one and was disappointed. It was just barely ground chicken pieces that didn't even taste like chicken, it tasted like chicken flavored chickpeas or something. I went back inside to confirm that she gave me the right pattie because I thought maybe it was a veggie pattie or something. I don't know what was going on in that pattie but I threw it away I couldn't do it. In the TikTok video they made it seem as if they're offering chunks of chicken in their curry chicken pattie but they're not.

Best fresh and homemade patties in Miami if your looking to get a taste of the island visit they will not disappoint

Really like the patty here! We come here every time we are in FLL and we always bring home the frozen 24-pack! Patty are always so flakey and warm. Stuffing is always flavorful. Even the frozen ones, they don't dry off too much as long as you preheat them right. My unpopular opinion- I actually like their patty better than Juicy Beef's. Lol

True rating: ehhhh maybe 3.7/5 I got the mild beef (hot were all gone) and the jerk chicken Pattie's, alongside a coco bread The Pattie's are pretty good. It is a thinner crust which means no crunch, but also means more meat filling. Generous fillings for sure. And the size of the patty's are HUGE. You may can't tell from the photo but I'd say about the size of a male's hand! I have no complaints about the coco bread. Nice warm and yummy. Not the best I've ever had but i would definitely return!

Love Hammonds been going for years. Their patties are delicious especially the ackee and saltfish, and always gotta brag some sour sop juice or peanut punch to wash it down.

In the mood for jamaican food so we googled somewhere near by. We ordered brown stew chicken, curry chicken, oxtail and two beef patties. Patties were decent but a little too flaky and soft for me. Each platter came With rice and peas and cabbage and plantains. The rice peas were ok not the usual rice and peas I expected. The oxtail was delicious! Falling off the bone! The curry chicken was delicious a little dry but still the flavor was amazing!!! We had enough to feed a family of 5 and still have left overs!

Just got some of your patties delivered by a friend. What has happened to your patties? Extra salty with an almost brine-like, vinegar flavor. Crust was nice and flaky, but your filling flavor has definitely changed. None of the Thyme forward flavor that it usually has. Just returned from out of town and was really looking forward to this. Extremely disappointed. Please fix it. Have been enjoying the flavor since Jamaica so I know what I can usually count on. Also coco bread is a little dry and doesn't house the patty. Can we get back to some of these things please!

Best place for some coco bread and Pattie's‼‼ Love their Callaloo Patties their my favorite!! Spicy beef and mild is the bomb. And I can't forget about their legend Carrot Juice ! Omg it's an acquired taste that grows on you and once you're used to it you're hooked. I would literally drive 30 minutes each week to come here!

Great spicy beef patties!!! You can order them frozen or cooked to order. It was my first time there so I just bought a dozen. These aren't your local supermarket ones either. I'm not too familiar with Jamaican cuisine but I do know that it's very delicious! Thanks Hammond's!

We no longer live in S. Florida. Whenever we visit, we try to get Patties. On Saturday, 11/26/22, we purchased an assortment of patties to take home, 30 total. Not enjoyed. Last time I was there. I placed an order for 24 frozen patties. When I got there, I was told they were out of stock. I only bought 12 hot ready to eat patties. I was glad I didn't get 24. I had forgotten about that till I took a bite on the recent trip. Something in the patties gives a sour taste. Is it lime, vinegar or both? Another thing, where's the meat?

I've been to Hammond's twice since I wrote the previous review. I'm happy to report the service has improved. Thank you to Mr. Hammond for addressing the issue and thanks to the ladies for the great service.

Warning: Hammond's Bakery is addictive. Hammond's is one my favorite spot for lunch in Miami Gardens. The bakery is located conveniently down the street from St. Thomas University. I recommend the oxtail. You'll keep coming back for more. The coco bread and spicy beef paddies are perfect. The paddies have a great crust and the filling...a perfect range of spice and flavor. You'll see new paddies coming out of the kitchen to the heater during rush periods. The counter staff is friendly and fast even when there is a busy lunchtime rush. Don't forget to leave a tip (especially if the place is busy). You'll never get a small portion at Hammond's with them packing your meal so have an appetite.

Wonderful meals go there like everyday Customer service top class wonderful girls Their always cheerful and happy. Rearly i go to restuarants and see such love and warmth.i love going there i recommend this place 100%

Excellent Jamaican beef patty one of the best I've ever had . Flaky on the outside. Perfect amount of spice . Good prices , they have all kinds of Jamaican patties

I'm never really hard on small businesses but it's just something about this place that makes me not want to return. The cashiers are nice nasty and when I say that I mean their rude in a nice way. They are super slow and if you don't have patience then don't come. The carrot juice is about the best thing I've ever had. I always order that cocoa bread and a patty but I just cannot stand the customer service there. Management probably has other issues and it might just be a cultural issue or maybe it's just me.

The food is amazing and they give you a lot of food. I'm a big meat eater so i course I wanted more meat then sides. Only downside can be a bit pricey. I'd go back.

I love love love the Jamaican Patties, that's the Only thing I get from here. You can actually get full off of 2 patties. They're so good!! The place is not the best looking so don't be surprised when you pull up and walk in.. The patties tho

The ribs are horrible, the oxtails and rice was bad too! The patties and bread was good but I don't think I've ever tasted Jamaican food that doesn't taste like Jamaican food. I honestly would never eat here again and the amount of money I spent here, was definitely not worth it. So disappointed

Best patties hands down. Best callaloo patties ever in all of existence. Also love the drinks sold there. & the vibe is cool, the people are polite, & food is served very quickly. Love this spot so much!!!! - @MrGrim2daReapa

Just visited this location after being told that they were the closest thing to authentic Jamaican patties. I drove down from Broward county and purchased 2 spicy beef patties and 1 coco bread. I was shocked to see the product being kept in a tiny heater. I attempted to bite into a beef Patty and it was too hot to enjoy so I drove back to Broward to let it cool off, which made it worse. Not on was the food stiff and very flakey it tasted very stale. So I will avoid any further visits and correct anyone who recommends this place again. For them I hope the other locations are better kept. Yuck.

Excellent patties and cocoa bread. Best I've had in Miami so far. Recommend highly.

So, the patties are pretty good and i want to buy 30 of every week for my team but when i think about the ladies that run the counter and change my mind. They are so rude, more interested in singing to the music than taking your order. I say thank you when they hand me my food, and they turn and walk away every time. The look on their faces is as if the customers are bothering them. "a bad representation of this business".

I have been going to Hammonds since I was a little boy. I will ALWAYS come here. They have the best patties in all of Miami!

This place has delicious jerk chicken and curry chicken, I enjoy the curry chicken which I usually order with white rice steam vegetable and sweet plantains. I love the bake Jamaican patty ( spicy) are fresh and tasty. average price $8.00 for meal.

I have been going to Hammond's for almost thirty years now. I had a horrendous experience with one of the workers. Environment is very unprofessional. Workers behind the counter are excessively loud and speak wildly about their personal lives in front of customers . That should never happen. After all these years it's time for me to move on. Please work on a more professional and a businesslike environment.

Love their Jamaican patties!!! Very flavorful and delicious!! If you're craving Jamaican food, you must stop by there, you will be happy you did!

The crust of their patties really good. I had one of their jerk chicken patties. The filling had that classic spicy/savory flavor but the texture was too mushy for my liking.

This is the best restaurant for authentic Jamaican food, patties and pastries. The 3 girls that works there are amazingly zealous, they'll make you feel right at home with their warm yet polite services.
