Kingston Bakery Harlem

Meat patty heaven. Perfect dough, savory meat, authentic vibe and must stop. Tried one with Mac n cheese which didn't disappoint.

My coworker brought this in for lunch. I was blown away how good it is. I usually eat oxtails about once a week, different places. The oxtail very flavorful with a lot of sauce. The jerk chicken was spicy but could be spicier but thats my preference :) Chicken was juicy and Mac & Cheese was on point! I missed the curry chicken which I wish I would have tried. Will definitely look to hit the restaurant next time in the area.

Didn't know how good a meat patty would be, I then inhaled one before I got home. The beef patty w Mac and cheese is a 10/10. Really nice lady at the front as well.

They have an incredible peanut punch and lemon ginger drink. If you need to detox, have the lemon ginger. I've only had the patties here, and they are incredible. The outside patties taste like they are baked because of how the shell tastes. I need to try their larger plates.

I picked up to serve dinner for 6 at my house last week. Decent, medium-spicy jerk chicken, lots of flavor, more bbq-sauce oriented than dry-rub oriented, I would say. Curry goat was a surprise hit with my guests, everyone said that was super special. Patties, rice with peas, vegan curry, all fine. No-nonsense place for takeout, but the kitchen looks clean and the staff give off good vibes. I live nearby, so will give this a plug and maybe make it a regular take-out spot.

I'm not gonna say the food is not good. But when you order fish make sure it's the whole fish, I ordered fish and it was covered with rice because she tried to hide the fact the fish wasn't whole, it was the and tail, and the top part of the fish, there wasn't even the bone. I'm glad they gave me money back but I'm not ever going in there again. I shoulda known something was wrong when she gave me so much rice. Damn shame.

There is bad reputation that surrounds Jamaican restaurants. It goes that if the service is poor then the food will be good. If you are looking for bad service then don't go here. But I implore you to go here as the food is good and it's is delivered with a smile. The staff are all very friendly when you go ask for them by name Rose and Kevin or ask the others their names. And if you go early in the morning ask for Chef Kemoy. They are friendly and they also make you feel welcomed and to top it off the food tastes really good. A very refreshing change to the norm. I will say too that they are very responsive. Placed an order for early pick-up, even before they opened, this was no deterrent. Go early morning and try the fried dumplings. They are divine.

I asked to try a oxtail and the guy was nice he gave me a small piece smart cause it was soft so I was sold now wen i bought the plate the actual meat was hard and tough to chew the Mac was hard and dry and the rice and vegs were jus ok to much sweet taste for me not authentic

When I went to this place today,my mom got oxtail and rice,she loved it , I got chicken and waffles,I Loved it !!!!!!! The place (ambience) was nice.The service was Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;Even though I didn't like the tropical drink fruit punch flavor

Ordered: Beef Patty (~$4) Small Oxtail Plate (~$18): with rice & peas and steamed veggies Aya's take: Kingston Bakery is a local spot that's familiar to Harlem natives. We were in the area and decided to grab a bite. The Beef Patty was super seasoned, beyond any other beef patty I've ever had. Some of the seasonings clashed or felt out of place but I liked that it was piping hot, loaded with beef, and wasn't dry. The patty itself wasn't flaky (which I tend to prefer) but it tasted fresh. The Small Oxtail Plate was heavy! They stuff so much oxtail into this small plate. The Oxtail itself was sweet, savory, and smoky. The rice & peas was decent but the steamed veggies were just okay. I liked the cabbage but I've never seen it come with broccoli, peppers, etc. They were mushy and didn't taste that good to me. They also didn't include the sweet plantains which should be included in the plate per the menu! I was super disappointed as I love plantains so this meal felt incomplete to me. Decent try but I've had better Jamaican food in NYC.

Notably kind service, clearly proud of what they make. Veggie patty was good, full flavor throughout, every bite with strong peppery flavor. Good mix of vegetables which you don't always see. Coco bread was great, fresh.

Love it! and welcome to Harlem They have a well known establishment for years and I was so pleased to see them on 145th Street The food is excellent, the service great and the staff was courteous and pleasant. They accommodate requests such as to separate the rice and peas from the meat without being charged an crazy price. The red snapper was good, the curry goat was good and the oxtail was good and the fish soap was good. They told me that they have been in Harlem for a year and I wish them well It is a buy and go establishment and they delivery. The packaging is also good as it is not the foil pans. I'm so happy to see them in Manhattan!

The patty and cocoa bread use to be good now it's dry and hard and the chicken patty taste gross. Also the employees aprons always dirty.

coco bread fresh baked!!!! veggie patties ...fresh baked juices great service great vibe welcome addition to 145th. welcome dred

Jamaican jerk chicken patty and co co bread was good! Small establishment and cashier was nice. Thought I took a picture but apparently I ate too fast....

Food was subpar and overpriced. Stew chicken was dry. Veggie patty was a mess! Wrong dough, it was gross. I wouldn't return or order from here again.

A 10/10!! I can't make it up. The waffle is from scratch! You an tell its not from a box. Chicken was seasoned, and juicy. Fruits were so fresh. For $15 you can share or pig out. Definitely going back for more

I bought 2 Chicken Pattties w/Cocoa Bread and a Large Jerk Chicken Dinner. Everything I purchased was DYNOMITE! I'm STOKED! I will be going back for more. I must try each every kind of patty and each and every dinner. Thank you Kingston! You are Allll Right with ME!

Was impressed with the quality of the beef patties here. Levels above Golden Crust or any patties you find at a pizza shop. Tried both the beef and chicken patties and they had a great balance of flavor and spice. Will be going back.

I come here to get beef Pattie's all the time, and I feel like I just got off the boat to the islands! Food is lit! The best in Harlem!!!

I was told great things about this eatery but my experience was not that great. My friends who are Jamaican found the food fantastic and I could not wait to try it. So one Saturday when I had a car I went to try this place out and was treated to an order of a small oxtail meal and 2 beef patties with cocoa bread. I was so hungry I attacked one of the patties and coco bread while my friend was getting the oxtails. Although the patty dough was a little thicker than what I would prefer the patty was quite tasty and the cocoa bread was very soft and delicious. I ate the oxtails later that night for dinner and I was underwhelmed. It lacked flavor but the meat was tender. Maybe it was a fluke for that day but I doubt I would pay for them again and they charge for extra gravy. However, I do have a new spot for patties and cocoa bread so 4 stars for that but 3 stars for the oxtail meal. I cannot comment on the service since I did not go inside.

I lived in Harlem some years and never knew this location existed until a few weeks ago. We ordered bun and cheese and boy was that bun fresh! We also got Pattie's and one of the tastiest chicken soups I ever had. Really nice service but it was only over the phone but very nice. I can't comment on ambiance but customer service is what helps create great relationships with customers so keep it up!

Fresh patties, excellent seasoned jerk chicken, definitely a great addition to sugar hill. Good vibes and great customer service

I truly enjoyed the friendly service from when I walked in. I'm disabled and the gentleman working there helped me down the ramp to the door. The food has my home girl and I overjoyed and great girl we stopped in there!! The ambiance is chill and calm as we chatted about my occupation as an iron woman in nyc. I would definitely recommend if you are in the area to order!!

Love the beef patties here. The fried chicken, jerk chicken, pasta and Mac and cheese are also delicious.

This place is so yummy! My breakfast to go spot. Amazing porridge! The pattie's taste like I'm in Jamaica. Their coco bread is perfect!

Great service and love the Pattie's! Had veggie and chicken.. also have a Vegan option

5 stars to these amazing people. great customer service. The chicken patty with coco bread are amazing! The ambiance and just cleanliness makes it even better. Excellent people excellent service excellent food.

Not to be missed! I've been going to Kingston in the Bronx for years, and now the best patties in the city are in Harlem! The chicken and veggie are my favourites, but you can't go wrong with anything here. Plenty of other delicious food too, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Always fresh, perfectly spiced, and fantastic service. A true Harlem gem!

The Food service and Ambiance is excellent Rose and Kevin are the greatest coming here is always a pleasure I tell all my friends stop by when they are in Harlem. They never run out of food.
