Kingston Tropical Bakery

The Patty's are so good that they are always busy. But that's no excuse for good customer service. In all my years of shopping there , no one has ever said, "Hello, just next. I will say I love their bags.

Can’t say enough. The beef and chicken patties are 💯💯 authentic tasting. The coco bread is the star but there other breads are fresh and tasty. Need to try their cakes. This place doesn’t disappoint. FYI you can’t compare to store bought frozen beef patties so if you are expecting that taste you’ll be disappointed. The bakery makes it the way you get from 🇯🇲 go visit and try

Legit!! One of the best patties I have had in NYC! Coco bread as well. Freshly made. They sell a variety of other Jamaican bread. Cash only.

There’s a lot of social media buzz about this place and many food reviewers have been giving it the “best Jamaican beef patties” title. I think that’s open for debate. The beef patties were good, but I can’t distinguish a huge rating difference between KTB and other West Indian bakeries that have developed loyal followings. I tried the beef patty with coco bread, beef patty by itself, and meatloaf (beef patty filling baked inside a coco bread exterior). Everything for me, on a scale of 1 to 10 is high 8’s up to 9. Good, but not as great as the hype would have you believe. The place is cash only and cop ‘n go. There’s a park up the block where I went to sit down. It was real chilly today, but on a pleasant day it would be nice to eat some coco bread and a patty or two. I enjoyed their coco bread the most, reminded me of being a kid and my mom sending me to West Indian bakery to get fresh baked coco bread. Oddly enough, KTB was closed when I first arrived so I winded up trying a spot down the block. This place only had patties, but I liked the spice level more than KTB and the patty exterior too. KTB had a flakier texture (which some prefer) but I liked the softer feel of the other bakery. If I could combine elements of both bakeries into one patty, that hybrid dream patty would be a 9.5 out of 10, easily.

The best coco bread I’ve ever had! Patties are very good too. But a must try is the meatloaf! It’s toooo good and very filling. You don’t need coco bread with it. Gets busy quick but the line goes fast because they have a good system. Guy up front kinda rude but honestly who cares the food is good 😭

I had patties from here for a while and their patties are amazing. Combo with the coco bread fresh in the morning and man it taste like highest form of love add with the patty and you gonna want more. I got two patties with coco bread and that had me full for a mintue one of the best patties i ever had and will keep coming back for fresh patties and coco bread. Lowkey tho try the chicken patty with coco bread.

UPDATE❗ I've been here several times now and the patty has definitely changed since the very first time eating it. I'm not sure what a people are tasting but its no where close to a authentic Jamaican beef patty. First, the beef is sour and chewy I don't know who's making the beef back there. The crust is not flaky, its tough. The meatloaf is not bad it could just use more beef, the coco bread is pretty decent aswell. The customer service was good. The beef patties was pretty good, I was more impressed with the coco bread it was delicious, the closest to the taste in Jamaica. However meat of loaf was lacking just a little bit but I would definitely go back again.

The beef patty and coco bread were truly amazing. Went on a Sunday bakery was a little sparse of other baked goods but the patties and coco bread were coming out hot abundantly fresh.

Great patties, even the veg which I don't usually like Also very good coco bread. CASH ONLY as a small bakery should be!

The joy of a perfectly made beef patty is hard to forget and Kingston Tropical Bakery certainly dishes out a stellar beef patty that is well worth getting! The menu is straightforward with multiples types of patties, breads, cakes and some juices. The beef patty with cocoa bread and a carrot cake loaf are my go-to orders and I would recommend the carrot cake which is moist, not overly sweet, and packed with taste. The whole environment and service are no frills and they keep things moving quickly. I would definitely suggest stopping by here if you happen to be in the area or passing through!

In my opinion, they have the best patties in the Bronx. I don't like beef patties, but my mom and brother love theres. I normally get and enjoy their chicken patties, veggie patties, coco bread, round bun. I used to get there sugar buns, but I can't eat anymore due to my health, but I recommend if your in good health, try it out. The service is great, the line moves really fast so don't let the line scare you.

This is definitely the second best, if not the best best tasting beef I've had in a Jamaican beef patty.... I mean, it's fuggin'phenomenallyflavored It's a spot you just gotta try... I've gotta head up there soon and get some other items for sure; the coco bread to start. The chicken was good too, no complaints from me.

Only reviewing the beef patties. saw many reviews for them as really good, when i tried it, tasted incredibly peculiar, like human blood like some sort of metal spice . . . could not take more than a few bites . . . the cocoa bread is great tho

The best beef patties I ever had. The people are courtesy. The patties are just flavorful and consistent. Not too much pastry but a lot of meat. I remember when they were like $1.25, $1.50 now they are $3.50 each! The coco bread is freshly baked. You can smell the greatness when you walk in the store. They have other breads and buns as, well. Drinks are against the wall. Just thinking of this place makes me want to go buy a dozen to store at home.

I had to visit the adjacent fabric store several times while helping my son with his Halloween costume. During our first visit to the area, I picked up some patties from my usual goto, Champion Bakery, which is down the street. That used to be a staple for my family, especially whenever we had functions. We would always get cocktail patties for parties and get togethers. I remember a friend telling me that Tropical was good but I hadn't had them in years. Champion has been falling off IMO because their patties are all dough and hardly any fill. Their cocktail patties have become dry as well. I decided to check out Tropical in a later visit. My kids also had the opportunity to try both and I have to say that from now on I will be getting my patties and coco bread from Tropical going forward. Their patties are spicy and FULL! They're not as flaky but I like their buttery crust and the coco bread is soooo good! It's soft and buttery in its own right as well. They also sell pre-packaged bun and cheese for $3.50 and the size is huge in comparison to their competitors down the road. I inquired as to whether they sell cocktail parties and they do, for $10/dozen. Welcome to the rotation...

Absolutely love Kingston Tropical Bakery! If you're a fan of Jamaican patties and pastries, this place is an absolute must-visit. The moment you walk in, you're greeted with the aroma of freshly baked goods that will make your mouth water. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and they truly make you feel like family. The Jamaican patties here are out of this world! They're always freshly made with the perfect flaky crust and flavorful filling that will leave you wanting more. But that's not all - the pastries here are also amazing. The coco bread is a personal favorite of mine - it's soft, fluffy, and simply melts in your mouth. And don't even get me started on the sweet potato pudding! I will say, parking can be a bit of a challenge. It's definitely a two-person job, and you may want to consider parking a bit farther away and walking. But let me tell you, it's absolutely worth it. This place is cash only, so make sure you come prepared. But trust me, it's worth every penny. Overall, Kingston Tropical Bakery is a true Jamaican baking institution and a must-visit for anyone who loves Caribbean flavors. Don't miss out on the chance to try some of the best patties and pastries in the Bronx - you won't be disappointed!

I just don't understand the lines, rave reviews on this wack-pattie spot- ummm they have tons & I mean tons of competition- good Jamaican food & Pattie's all over the Bronx- definitely Brooklyn!! Smh- they are just ok- rude, nasty staff. Carrot cake was certainly dry & just ok. I will continue to wonder why this spot gets such rave reviews for average food at best & bad attitudes...

Came to try their beef and chicken patties. It was almost closing time. Patties were super hot! Great flavor and a LOT of filling inside. Great taste. Next time will try with coco bread next time.

I happened to be on my way to the bronx, my wife remembered that this place was in her list spots for best jamaican patties. So we got a few patties, coco bread and a kola champagne and we snack while parked right outside in the corner. The bread was warm, out of the oven, there was a line out the door to get into the store, but i have to say the trip and the wait was definitely worth it. Highly recommend it, delicious freshly made patties, excellent option to go. Next time, i will be sure to get more patties, so we can bring them back home. Unfortunately, we ste everything in the car..lol.

Kingston Bakery has the best patties in 4 out of 5 boroughs in NYC! Brooklyn is the exception! Delicious beef, and chicken patties! They have been in business about 40 years and they have never disappointed their customers. Always on point.

Excellent Jamaican beef patties sold here! They also bake chicken patties, vegetable patties, coco bread, bun and carrot cake. Kingston Bakery has the most authentic patties I have found outside of Jamaica. Irie! *Cash Only* *Take-out Only*

I've been going to this patty shop for years. The coco bread is always fresh. It just tastes so darn good. The patties are awesome as well. This place never disappoints.

Service is quick and friendly. They are cash only but no worries there is an atm inside. These are the best Pattie's I've ever had hands down!' If you come here, get a beef Pattie, meatloaf Pattie and a bun and cheese! Everything was good !

The Best Jamaican beef patties on the planet. No body does it better. Been eating these for about 30yrs

So delicious. I grew up on these. I'm just mad that they don't sell Gizzadas anymore.

Being married to a Jamaican has its privileges!!! Although i am a NY'er THROUGH AND THROUGH, clearly i was slackin' cuz i NEVER heard of this spot until a few years ago when my husband casually was like, "yeah, i don't mess with patties from anywhere else but here." Mind blown cuz i was busy (sadly) eating Golden Crust patties since i was in High School. Spoiler Alert!!!:: Kingston Bakery must be using recipes from the Maroon Ancestors because LEMME TELL YOU - THE PATTIES HERE ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! There just ain't no competition. Big sorry to the other patty purveyors. The beef is SEASONED, and they must be working some magic in the dough cuz it's SOFT and FLAKY without being dense! Like, how??? And, i might add - their CoCo bread is the stuff that your softest most buttery dreams are made of!!! Meanwhile THAT'S NOT EVEN THE BEST PART. Their carrot cake had me ALL THEEE WAY IN MY BAG! What? Flavor - check. Just a hint of sweetness - check. No annoying carrot bits cuz they're nicely, well mixed in - check. Softness - check. Tastiness - checkity check! Like, you press on the loaf, and it just gives a long sigh before it raises up again. Clearly, my baked goods-loving fat azz is overwhelmed! Out of this universe, best carrot cake ever. i DARE someone to bring me a next carrot cake! I challenge anyone to go to Kingston bakery and not enjoy every bite of all the stuff they're churning out for the masses. Meanwhile, my other half is like "yeah so, when you finally visit Jamaica, it tastes even better there." WELL BOOK ME MY TICKET ASAP CUZ I BEEEEN WAITING TO ADD TO MY MUFFIN TOP, OKAY??? Can't recommend Kingston Bakery enough.

Delicious, I tell you - and all kinds of different patties! I have never seen such a large and unique variety anywhere else. Go in and experience the awesomeness. By the way, amongst other tasty pastries, try the meatloaf patty - it is to die for.

Hands down the best Pattie's in the Bronx. Been going here ever since I could remember. All flavors are great. The buns are good as well. The line could get long depending on the day but it's so worth it. I literally do not eat patty from anywhere else.

The place is small, the customers is just a rude a the staff. The staff lets anyone come and skip other customers who have been for service. And the food was cold.

Loves this place. Patties taste like the one back home. The Veggie patties are my favorite, love the bread so nice and soft. Staff is great and freindly. Place is small but that's ok with me and in and out. They have a refrigerator with juice. They cheese , Bun . All the nice things to consume. Makes my mouth water talk about it.

Best fresh baked hardough bread and cake. But the star is the beef patties and meatloaf(beef in coco bread).

Excellent pies, coco bun and fruit bread. Everything was delicious and was first and won't be my last time here when I visit NY.

Extending my food network here a tad... If you find yourself out in the Bronx and need a quick bite, look no further than the wide array of Jamaican bakeries. I've never tried Jamaican patties before, but heard from many sources that I needed to try Kingston Tropical Bakery. Opened in 1970, this was the first bakery in the area to serve meat and veggie patties as well as coco bread, a soft roll with subtle sweetness that you can sandwich around the patties. As it was my first time, I tried both their chicken and beef patties, but when I return I'll be sure to get a dozen of their beef patties!

I go an hour and a half out of my way from Poughkeepsie for the meatloaf at this place. And I would pay three times what they are currently charging. My recommendation is that you get there early because they do sell out by mid afternoon usually. They have many other things that are also very good.

This bakery has the best Jamaican patties in New York City hands down! You can get vegetable, chicken, beef and meatloaf patties here and the coco bread. The patties are flaky and delicious. I absolutely recommend this bakery.

I'm born & raised in the Bronx & have had my share of patties. But NONE can compare to these!!! Hands down to this spot!! My favorite are the chicken!! My coworkers go crazy for the meatloaf patties. They are always so fresh which is even better. The area is not the greatest & the ambiance.. well there is none but it's ok bc it's not a sit down location. Get your delicious patties & coco bread & bounce!

Hands down, this is the best beef patties ever! As a Bronx resident, I am fortunate to be able to take advantage of this delectable delight, and I most certainly do...

I not only take special trips all the way up to the boogie down Bronx (I live in SOUTH JERSEY) for these amazingly delicious patties but often it's a spur of the moment last minute I'm hungry for some authentic Jamaican style patties that we will hop in the car and away we go onto a road trip for the best patties I've ever had we order them by THEE DOZEN! When you go you must try there MEAT LOAF stuffed cocabread definitely my favorite I gotta look into if they ship patties that Bronx traffic is crazy still worth the trip go check em out you won't be disappointed

Best beef patties in the bronx worth waiting on the lines and coco bread always fresh

I thought I left a review here already, but I didn't, so let's get to it. I was arguing that I found the best beef patty spot at another unamed place but my wife had to correct me. She told me about a spot in the BX, "da Bronx" for the uninitiated, that had the best patties. So I decided to see for myself. I went to this spot and ordered 5 beef patties, each with a Cocoa bread. We tasted it and ohhh my goodness... That was some amazing stuff. Meat was well seasoned, patty crust was just flaky enough, smelled great... let's not talk about the Cocoa break. It was soft, had a great aroma. The combination of the two was great, tasty, soft and downright satisifying.... This is a spot I have returned to multiple times. .. and will continue to do so.

I can't get enough the 3 different patties veggie, beef and chicken are delicious please note the patties are spicy hot and do not forget the coco bread if you are not sure what to do open the bread and place the patty inside oh! heaven, they have other products like carrot cake (yum) I have been going there for over 35 years and still going

Ordered an assortment of mini patties (chicken, beef and veggie) for a BBQ. On the day of pickup, my order was ready at 9:45am as requested. Patties were hot and ready to serve. Would definitely recommend them for appetizers.

The best THE BEST JAMAICAN BEEF PATIES IN NYC (period!) I've saw a guy travel from CT 1hr for these patties I tried one and I'm a customer forever that's how serious is is over at Kingston tropical bakery

The meatloaf Coco bread was delicious. You must come and try and try the rest of the beef patties once in a lifetime.

A recent search on Yelp, and I found Kingston Tropical Bakery. I decided that the next time I was in El Bronx, I would somehow, some way get patties from KTB. The opportunity arose and I searched for a menu, and found a singular one (pic). I discovered that they make Jamaican meatloaf, which is hard to find and better than a patty any day, in my opinion. Meatloaf is basically a beef patty baked into coco bread without the yellow/orange "kruss." My boo had business in the vicinity and picked beef, chicken and meatloaf for us. He never had a meatloaf before and has now become a fan. It's not just about the meatloaf, all of the fillings were well seasoned and a little spicy (my opinion @ "a little" LOL) as they should be. But more than ANYTHING, the patties had a great amount of meat, by NYC standards. Once upon a time, you couldn't keep the meat in your patties because they were filled. To my disappointment, in Brooklyn you get more kruss than meat. So despite the distance, Kingston Tropical Bakery is the best right now in NYC for me. The only other patties that I had that were exceptionally good were actually in Jamaica and in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Best beef patties in the Bronx. The crust is light and thin and the meat taste like beef

I had the meatloaf patty and beef patty with coco bread, both were delicious! Got bread pudding too

Best coco bread & patties hands down recommend buying fresh in the morning. Perfect spice and flavor.

Like with anything we all have our favorites for different specialties. KTB is my go to West Indian neighborhood bakery when I'm in the area. An old school bakery that has been a neighborhood fixture for decades, many people sing their praises. With a simple menu KTB is where you go for good Jamaican staples (ie: patties, hard-dough bread, fruit buns and cakes) My order is consistently a Chicken Patty, Coco Bread and a slice of Carrot Cake. Always fresh and the perfect meal and sweet treat on the go for less then five bucks. I always receive good food and prompt service. Full disclosure I have a go to spot in the south bronx for Coco Bread, it just brings me back to my childhood, but I enjoy KTB's also. I also really enjoy their Carrot Cake (a middle piece please) it's always moist with the right amount of sweetness. Large enough for more then one serving and they always oblige me by giving me the piece I want right in the middle. Bottom line you can not go wrong and their popularity is solidified by the product they produce and the different press and write-ups they have deservingly received. Just A Note: They are located on a corner on the very active White Plains Rd., with many people running in and out grabbing a quick meal. Think twice about double parking, while the patties are good you will be highly upset if you got a ticket for one.

I have been going to them for a while They have the best Beef and other different types of Patties on White plains road

The best fresh Patties ever!! You better get there early if you want the carrot cake !! Great staff

The food was spicy but good. The place is small but counter person very was rude and began taking another order while taking mine making him miss one of my items. Btw, it was not crowded at all. It is worthy to note I do not live far from the location. The female counter person who was responsible for handling the money did not provide me with my change before she asked me for the original amount for another item hard dough bread I decided to purchase. I had to remind her I have change left from my original items. I had to remind her I had change left from what I previously ordered. I looked at her like I wonder how many people this has happened to. I want to remind everyone this is a cash only business so,I would count my change. A word to the wise.

Fresh Jamaican patties here Always a line Always worth wait Chicken beef and vegetable Don't forgot the coco bread Sooooo good

Good authentic beef Pattie's in the Bronx. The place had a line and a bunch of double park cars out front so we knew it was going to be good. We tried the beef, chicken & meatloaf patty. All three were good. They had a bunk of bread options and Jamaican sodas & juices. They ONLY accept CASH.

I've had their beef patties since I was a lod, they're delicious. I have family who drives in from Rockland county and they always make sure to stop by here.

Ok so the neighborhood is a little Rowdy, but me and my husband was watching Andrew Zimmerman on the food channel and he was in the bronx (where I reside) and he went to this spot and spoke highly about there patties and coco bread ect... Annnnd I just had to make my way here, it was great because my husband and i been looking for a good jamaican place. With humble surrounding as we entered I ordered 3 beef patties and 2 chicken and 1 veggie patty a loaf of bread and coco bread. 3 words YUMMY YUM YUM the veggie patty was my fav love the amount of veggies inside it was nice and spicy and the patty wasnt flaky. Enjoyed every bite thanks Andrew Cant wait to go back!!!!

Been going here over 30 years...the absolute authentic best! No other places can compete.Family owned.Cash only!

If you want fresh authentic bread,bun or patties. This is the stop to come to. The lines are always long. The cinnamon bun is FRESH AND DELICIOUS. I love the cinnamon bun and coco bread. This is a gem to the neighborhood. Highly recommend visiting this bakery. A ticket to paradise
