Golden Patty

A must when you are in the Kensington Market. This place is small but the service is warm and authentic. Best patties downtown that are hot and fresh. Careful though — the filling is hot!
I don’t recommend their doubles though. The barra didn’t seem as fresh and the channa was dry. Stick with the patties.

My Favorite Patty and Jamaican food bakery! LOVE ive been going here since I was a kid with my parents and I pray I can pass this on to my future kids!

My favorite place in downtown is knowing I can get a goat patty to tide me until dinner is ready. A decade of delicious made by a charming atmosphere and friendly faces. You have apart of my heart!

My trip to Kensington market is not complete without ordering some spicy beef patties to go. The outside is flaky and soft. The beef is well seasoned with the right amount of spices.
My other favourite items are double, and fresh bread (corn bread and egg bread are my fav).
I normally get a loaf of egg bread to go, pop half in the freezer (as I can’t eat the whole loaf with just two of us). It warms up nicely in the toaster. It’s great for make french toasts too

Yummy goat patties! That’s all I’ve ever gotten here. ~$ 14 for a dozen of baked patties — just have to heat it up whenever you want to eat it. I love the flaky dough but it doesn’t crumble and the super yummy goat filling that doesn’t make me question the mystery meat in my patty.

Get the Curry Shrimp! This place is so yummy and affordable a real gem! The staff was friendly and helpful and now I want another one yum!

I only had the spicy beef patty. For under $ 2 its is a really filling and good snack. Nice flaky crust, good spices on the ground beef. It tasted really goo without being too greasy. The woman behind the counter was friendly. The only weird thing is this is a Jamaican bakery owned by Chinese people. New owners? Go figure?

Got the Jerk chicken plate for $ 7, and it was not good.
Fried chicken with jerk seasoning and soy sauce mix.
This place may be good for patties but not for Jerk chicken

Tried the beef patty and coco bread (now $ 2 instead of $ 1.75) and it was delicious! A carb lover’s dream! Haven’t tried the other items but I will on my next trip to Kensington Market. Indeed the place is now called «Golden Patty.»
I am tempted to buy a whole bunch of frozen patties to snack on.

They’re not called Patty King without a reason since they do have one of the best beef patties in the city, except they’re not called Patty King anymore, but Golden Patty?! When did they change the name, or have I not noticed before?
I couldn’t search the name for them on Unilocal,so checked in as Patty King.
The store is really small and on weekends is packed with customers. They offer their famous beef patties and doubles, breads, plus a variety of Caribbean foods.
The service is usually friendly, but sometimes it feels a bit rushed. Therefore, you better know what you want to order when you’re next in line (or no patty for you). Often there are 3 or 4 people behind the counter and they all want to take your order even if they’re helping other customers. Talk about multitasking!
My visit this Friday afternoon, I had two people who served me. I ordered a beef patty as that’s what I usually get as an afternoon snack while grocery shopping (kind of helps stave off from me buying too much food in the market). Price was $ 1.40 for a pocket of delicious goodness consisting of a golden pastry filled with flavourful beefy yumminess. Oh so good!

I’ve engaged in many conversations in my life surrounding the joy of foods that come in pockets. Jamaican patties fall into this category, and I love ‘em. They are cheap, spicy, meaty and go great with any hot sauce. You can get two for well under $ 5, and were a staple of mine as a student.
These patties can be found in convenience stores and snack stops all over Toronto, and all of those satellites revolve around the mother ship, Patty King. There is nowhere cheaper or fresher than the source, so if you’re after a cheap bite on the run in Kensington, Patty King’s got your back.
Beyond being a regular customer in my younger years, I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Patty King because it’s one of the first places I took my American bestie in Canada. He gave his cash and was given back two patties and a handful of change. He then bristled «Excuse me, I gave you a ten.» The sassy Jamaican lady burst out laughing and replied «And I gave you $ 6, can you count, junior?» Ah, Canadian coins fooling foreigners. Always good for a giggle.

Patty King is always good but not great. The service is a bit on the unfriendly side and the patties are never hot, always barely warm.
Having said that, I sometimes crave a spicy beef patty and this is the only place to go, as they are always tasty (even if, as I said, they are never very hot).
The produce here is super cheap and once you get the attention of one of the staff, you are out the door pretty fast.

Hands down best coconut and current rolls around. Too bad they do not make these available at other locations too. Once they had a store on Eglinton West but unfortunately that location closed. The doubles are so delicious and the bread is always fresh and delicious. Also they sell the best puddings too.

Truly a destination in Kensington market for as long as I can remember. The patties are good and so is the mango sponge cake.

Nice snack after a leisurely stroll through Kensington Market. We tried the beef patty and curry chickpea patty — warm, delicious and flaky. Friendly customer service. If I lived closer, I would buy them by the dozen and freeze for later!

Time for an update.
Still 5 stars, maybe 6. Seriously the goat patties make me feel things that are not prudent to share with strangers. When they’re fresh… they’re THAT good. I have a box in my fridge as we speak… well, as I speak. They one day hope to escape, but the only escape is through me. If you’re re-​heating the patties, it’s smart to poke holes in the back of them to let the steam escape/​to make your home smell delicious.
Have you ever walked into a place, taken a bite of their food, and it transported you back to a place and time? Well this place does that, just make sure to ask them to make sure your food is hot, and you’re set. Unfortunately, the doubles leave something to be desired, but being from Trinidad, I’m pretty picky/haven’t found good doubles in the area.
Their breads and cakes and rolls and cookies and sweets are all great, too! This place is essentially the best Caribbean bakery you’re going to get without going to the actual Caribbean (Scarborough/​Brampton/​Mississauga).
Do yourself a favour and try a flavour of patty you love. In terms of most of the 1* reviews, these people likely have only been in once and had a bad experience, are hypercritical West Indians, or both.

This place has been around for at least 25 years, and no wonder, its patties are amazing. Note that the patties here are not the same as the «Patty King» patties that are sold in the frozen section at grocery stores. They have the same name, but they are different.
The beef patties (about $ 1.25) are excellent. The pastry is crisp and flakey and the filling is flavourful. I know that some people prefer the beef patties at Randy’s but I find that the filling at Randy’s is too runny and fatty. The filling at Patty King is more «solid» and not as fatty. Not to mention that the Patty King patties are bigger.
The goat patties are smaller than the beef patties and the filling is curry-​based. The pastry is also a little different. Lighter in colour and flakier. I prefer the beef patties. I’ve never had the veggie patty or the chicken patty.
The fish cakes here are pretty good. Puffy fried goodness! They are mostly dough with very little fish though, but at 4 for $ 1, what do you expect?
The mango cake is another favourite of mine here. It’s a rich sponge cake with a mango filling swirled on top (like lemon pie filling, but mango-​flavoured).
I love this place and visit it every time I am in Toronto.

No! I brought my mother here today, I bought a vegetable patty, my mom got fish cakes and my friend got spinach/​cheese contraption. My veggie patty tasted weird from the jump, but I still ate half of it then I looked inside and it was SOO old that the vegetables were liquifying! It was awful. I went back to the bakery and said, «the veggie patties are NOT fresh, they’re soooo undeniably old» then the lady said «oh really?» and the other Asian lady looked at them and said «blech» and tossed the rest of them out. So gross. So wrong. They embarrassed me in front of my mother, a native of the west indies.
I’ve been to Patty King at least 5 times before and the fresh buns and cakes are good, and some of the display items are okay but this isn’t the first time I got an OLD veggie patty. You hear about this kinda thing all the time, but you don’t think it’s gonna happen to you! Shame on me Patty King, you fooled me twice. But don’t even think for a second that YOU’RE are the «King» of anything except fungus. Hmmph! I’m so offended by the lack of freshness. The food is as old as they can get away with and it aint right! Never go there!

I love LOVE LOVE this place. Maybe it’s because I live in California now, and you can’t find a decent patty anywhere (or a patty at all, for that matter). My brother is amazing and makes this our first stop in Kensington on my visits now and I am so grateful. Always get the spicy beef patty, it’s my favorite. I tried it in a coco bun today for the first time, and it was good but found it a bit bready. No big deal, took the patty out and had 2 separate delicious snacks. And was so, so happy! 2 patties, one patty in a coco bun, less than $ 5 for an amazing breakfast for 3. WIN!

Always nice to go back to places you used to know… and always great when they’re even better than you remember. Last time I went to the Patty King was probably 10 yrs ago. I stopped in here and got myself a goat patty and a chicken patty and they were even better than I remember. Git ‘em.
