Golden Patty - Toronto, Ontario

Best patties in GTA As the name suggests, it's a Caribbean foods place. But it's also an awesome bakery. They have the most variety of patties anywhere. Shrimp, chicken, beef, available at different spicy levels. You won't find shrimp patties anywhere else. And the patty pastry is flaky like it should be, ... one bite and the pastry shell will be all over your lap. I've tried the curry rice dish, the goat meat was superb, tender, juicy, well seasoned. The curry sauce was dep and rich. The bean rice was excellent. For the roti dish, I tried curry chicken roti. Also excellent. This is huge. About 2 lbs of potato, chicken, and gravy. They do have other pastries. I have tried the sausage roll. Excellent. From their bakery, I've tried the meringue, their cookies, and bread loaf. The meringue was crunchy but also had a toffee-like texture, it wasn't too swret or too dull, but balanced. The cookies are huge. I've tried the choco chip, pecan, and M and M's cookies. Their cookies are also balanced, not too sweet like the low grade cookies sold at Tims. I came here one morning to get a bread loaf. The bread had just come out of the oven and the staff sliced it for me. The bread is nice and firm and is good for sandwiches, though tbh I find the starchy sweet flavour irrestible and eat the slices by themselves. Once toasted, it tastes even better. This is how bread should be, I'm glad this place exists The staff here are excellent. Very friendly, courteous, and responsive. Quality service. I've never had bad service here. The store is nice and tidy, though somewhat cozy inside. It's unassuming, and they focus on food quality. Nice artwork near the front door btw. Read more

Highly recommend coming here for Jamaican patties- very flaky pastry! Filling is a bit light , but delicious. There’s often a line up here but it moves quickly. The baked goods are not bad either.

Very dissapointed. Ordered a shrimp patty to snack on, the inside was 90% air and 10% filling that consisted of 4 small shrimps. Took home a box of unbaked goat patties and was SO excited to try them. Baked them as per directions, and again - 90% air and 10% ... filling (see photo). It also looks like theyre having a hard time finding turmeric or rationing it as it looks anemic. There is none of that flaky, buttery consistency one would expect from a patty (and I have tried one from Jamaica). The curry goat filling was okay. There are better places in Toronto, dont waste your money here, the quality does not justify the price. Read more

Best patties in the city, especially the spicy beef. But today tried the lunch special curry goat w/ rice +peas and I won't re-order. Goat was TOUGH it needs to stew all day to be tender, curry sauce was not tasting authentic Caribbean. But the patties are ... AWESOME. Read more

We had a wonderful experience at the Jamaican patty store in Kensington Market. It was a great hidden gem and a favorite amongst the locals. This place was highly recommended by my friend Jennifer P. It was also nice to see this place offers vegetarian options, giving a variety of ... choices for different preferences. We ordered the Vegetable Patty, Chickpea Patty, and the Curry Shrimp Patty. The vegetable patty had a subtle spiciness which we found quite exciting. The curried shrimp patty was also another favorite but we did wish they offered a bit more shrimp filling inside. Both of them were so savory, we were very impressed! The chickpea patty was our least favorite as it was underwhelming in flavor and surprisingly, texture. It was just okay. The efficiency and friendliness of the staff is definitely a plus. They accept both debit/charge cards and cash, with a preference for the latter. We went to a nearby coffee shop as a workaround for the lack of seating in the store. This way we were able to savor the delicious snacks and enjoy a warm beverage to wash it down. Should I find us back in Kensington Market, this place is definitely on our list to revisit! Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Food: 5/5 Read more
