Back Home Bakery

Love the beef pies, n other pastries at this bakery. they are always usually pretty polite and offer to help you and give you suggestions if you ask for it. The beef pie though is extremely succulent and delicious the crust is not too flaky and just perfect. And the price point is great as well.

I come here for the Salt fish and Bake. It’s very good and reasonably priced at $ 2.25. The staff was friendly. If I’m in the area I will continue to stop in.

Flatbush is home to a million different Caribbean restaurants so competition is thick. I usually visit Back Home Bakery when visiting my hairdresser that’s closeby. Honestly, I usually only get their patties or baked goods, but my understanding is that they actually serve up cooked food. I’ve been content with everything so far, but not overwhelmed. This place works.

I think I moved into my current apartment because the smells from the bakery! Walking with my realtor to look at apartment, I smelled wonderful goodness before I saw the bakery itself. Sure she showed me many apartments, but all I could remember was the smell. Fast forward to three weeks later and I have been there half a dozen times and have purchased, devoured, and enjoyed items from my Guyanese back ground like cheese rolls, cocktail beef patties, coconut buns, bake and salt fish, pineapple tarts, tennis rolls. It truly tastes like back home!

Love the fresh baked breads in the morning. Friendly staff, wonderful aroma inside, smells like a «real bakery»

Back Home Bakery.
I was riding around Brooklyn with a friend and he’s a regular of the place. He was feeling hungry so we made a quick detour to pick up a few pastries. It’s a nice size Caribbean bakery with the owners hailing from Trinidad if I remember correctly. Grab & Go kina place, two huge display glasses acting as counters. No place to really sit and eat. They sell your typical cakes and beef patties, but judging from my friends order and the other patrons the draw are the traditional Trinidadian baked items.
I pretty much duplicated my friend’s order being that he’s the familiar. We picked up some Currant Rolls and Coconut Rolls. So Currants are what Trini’s call raisins my friend explained to me as we walked out with our orders, and Coconuts are what we call Caribbeans straight off the boat… (Lol, Nah he ain’t say that. I made that coconut part up)
The rolls are baked dough with either raisins or coconuts stuff rolled and baked into ‘em. Both rolls were kina dry and flaky on the outside which was a good thing, cuz it balanced out the semi moistness on the inside of the roll.
I really enjoyed both, but I I prefer the Currant Roll just a little bit more cause I’m a cinnamon and raisins kina dude. The Coconut Roll is nothing to sleep on though, the inside has a great coconut flavor that is not too overpowering. We dropped in late in the evening and the pastries still tasted fresh, so I can only imagine if your lucky enough to get there when they first bring ‘em out.
I’ll definitely drop in to pick up some rolls in the future when I’m in the neighborhood.
Back Home Bakery, Good Stuff.

I love this place.
By just the smell of the baked goods alone, you’re tempted to buy everything your couple dollars can handle.
When I go, I always buy pine tarts, salara (coconut + pastry), and current rolls.
When every restaurant and bakery finds every excuse to raise prices, I find this bakery is a great find for cheap eats.
They’ve been on that corner for as long as I can remember. Definitely a gem of the neighborhood.

Very nice bakery, looks brand-​new, with neat counter tops and glass displays. Staffed by an Indian lady who didn’t offer a smile, just «Who’s next?»
I’m on a quest to find a good beef patty.
Their cocktail patties are hockey-​puck-​sized and $ 1 each. They also have larger patties that are the usual rectangular shape. The lady gave me attitude about exchanging the large for the small.
I bought 2 chicken and 2 beef. Both used ground meat and similar spicy seasonings. The pastry was brushed with shiny egg wash; it was tumeric yellow, flaky, rich, and fragrant.
They have a hockey-​puck-​sized Chinese «cake» that I’d like to try next time.
They also offer jerk chicken, ice cream, and various desserts.
