Currently open for take out. Give them a call at (604) 738-2144 to pre-order. "This is a little hole in the wall take-out patty shop, but it has been here for more than 20 years and that says something! This is the place to go to get ready to eat jamaican patties at a really cheap price, from around $3.00 each. The awesome thing is that you can buy a dozen, freeze it, and those days that your not into cooking, you can pop a patty into the oven and it still tastes amazing." - Yelp Elite, Melody M.
Issabelle’s 5-star review:
I used to live in Toronto when I was a kid and remember my parents always bringing home these delicious, golden, Jamaican patties. I've had such a fond memory of those particular patties that it's been really hard for me to find similar ones that compare. Until now. Enter The Patty Shop.
I've heard all the rage about this spot for a few months now but haven't had the opportunity to pay them a visit, until last week. I just happened to be in the area and saw them pop up on Yelp, so I wandered on over.
This spot is definitely a pick up and go kinda place. No tables, chairs, anything, but I'm into it. Also, it's cash only and there's no ATM, so come prepared with those paper $$$'s.
They have a few different flavours - beef, hot beef, chicken, spinach, vegetarian, pizza and taco. Yup you read those last two right... they do have a pizza and taco flavour - only catch is that those two only come in a frozen bag rather than freshly made.
I had a few family members in town who were staying at my place (also big fans of Jamaican patties), so I picked up 2 dozen patties - an assortment of curry, regular beef and hot beef. Wowza, I'm such a fan of all 3 of them. I think next time I'd go for the chicken or spinach instead of the curry though.
With other Jamaican patties I've had the meat tasted (almost) artificial, but these ones tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. Plus the dough was perfectly flaky.
I'm very excited to come back again to try the pizza and taco patties. Also my belly is very happy that I've found a local Jamaican patty spot to fulfill all my cravings.
