West Indian classics, baked goods, and custom cakes galore
"Sybil Bernard-Kerrutt, a hairdresser who immigrated to the city from Guyana, started selling bread to friends to make rent and support her family. She opened her first bakery in Jamaica, Queens and later this flagship in South Richmond Hill—a striking yellow and turquoise triangular building that still draws lines, even in the middle of a weekday afternoon. The Caribbean specialities are extensive, but we especially love the pepper pot, goat roti, and pine tarts. We’d gladly eat their flaky currant roll, stuffed with plump currants, for breakfast every day. Tennis rolls, pepper pot, Guyanese chicken patties, pine tarts, currant roll" - molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, bryan kim, sonal shah
"A venerable institution and sister to Brooklyn’s Island Express, Sybil’s is named after the family matriarch who started selling baked goods out of a car in the 1970s and is one of the places that all Guyanese visit when they come to New York. Like Allan’s in Flatbush, you can expect a very long line on weekends. But don’t worry, a greeter will quickly welcome you with a number like you’re at a butcher shop, which will give you time to wander around and make selections from the very extensive menu. The recommendations here are pine tarts, chicken patties, and pepper pot, Guyana’s national dish, which is a savory meat stewed with cassareep, an aromatic syrup prepared with bitter cassava and spices traditionally served during holidays with freshly baked plait bread." - shelley worrell 31
"The Caribbean specialties at Sybil’s in South Richmond Hill are extensive and uniformly delicious. But there’s a reason they sell the not-too-sweet pine tarts by the half-dozen. Get those and something savory like pepper pot, goat roti, and curry chicken, plus a moist, flaky currant roll (our very favorite thing here). Just expect a line, even in the middle of a weekday afternoon." - molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, sonal shah, hannah albertine, neha talreja
"One of New York City’s first Guyanese eateries, famous for pepperpot stew."
"For pastries, you’re better off at Sybil’s Bakery across the street." - Robert Sietsema
