"Juici Patties, a Jamaican chain with several locations across Florida, has their first New York location in Bed-Stuy. They sell beef, spicy beef, spicy curry chicken, and vegan patties, as well as coco bread, fried plantains, and fries." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, bryan kim
"Before this cult-famous patty chain existed in the US, its superfans here had to make do with stocking up on frozen patties during trips to Jamaica. Juici Patties’ first NYC location in Bed-Stuy makes everything a lot easier. To see what the fuss is about, join the line for patties so hot they burn your hands, with dough that’s delicate enough to smush with a finger, yet strong enough to resist a forceful tear. photo credit: Willa Moore The store is open from 9am to 9pm daily, and even if there’s a crowd, you won’t have to wait long—there are only four patty options (but multiple combos), and most people know exactly what they want. Food Rundown Spicy Beef Patty If you’re not sure, get the spicy beef patty. The filling is a soft contrast to the supremely flaky dough, with a heat that lingers in the back of your throat. photo credit: Willa Moore Spicy Chicken Patty Don’t overlook this chicken patty with almost jammy meat and just enough curry powder to stain the corners of your mouth a faint yellow. photo credit: Willa Moore Coco Bread Always get at least one coco bread too, which comes warm and sweaty in its plastic bag. Wrap it around a patty for a transcendent carb-on-carb experience. photo credit: Juici Patties" - Willa Moore

"A Caribbean fast-food counter serving flaky patties and coco bread, with fillings like beef (mild or spicy), curried chicken, shrimp, and vegan shrimp — marking the chain’s New York debut after long popularity in Jamaica." - Emma Orlow

"A well-known Caribbean fast-food chain from Jamaica made its New York debut with a counter-service restaurant that opened in Bed-Stuy on 1293 Fulton Street at Nostrand Avenue on Sunday, April 27. The menu focuses on flaky patties with fillings like beef (mild or spicy), curried chicken, and spinach, and also highlights coco bread. This opening is presented as the start of a major New York expansion, with plans to open additional restaurants elsewhere in Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Queens. Founder Jukie Chin started the business in 1980 in Jamaica; there are now more than 65 locations there, and the chain began opening its first American locations in Florida in 2024." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Our favorites among the year’s patties were Juici Patties’ simple golden-yellow beef pastries: a Jamaican import whose stalls drew lines out the door the day they opened in Brooklyn." - Alan Sytsma
