Le Foyer Bakery

It’s not the same like how it use to to be wayyy back in the day now it’s hard to even to get a patty with a spoonFUL of chicken. I don’t get it you guys have mad business but you guys are starting to get real cheap… Lines out the door but when u get your patty it’s like disappointing. Please do better ! The breadding is great but it’s not all that with no meat

I’ve been going here for more than 20 years for their Haitian patties. The have the most buttery and tender pastry. The only knock on them is that patties can be light on the meet fillings sometimes. That’s what happens when it pastries are hand made, and I don’t usually mind because I really just enjoy the pastry so much. The patties are the best when eaten with a bottle of Cola Couronne or fruit champagne soda.

I love the patties here! So delicious. I bought some for my cousins who came to visit from ATL and they were in love too! We made numerous stops here before they left. The prices are great too.
I would give it 5 stars but one time I had the chicken and I almost chocked on a bone! So I avoid the chicken lol

Oh Le Foyer this review comes with much heartache. The quality of their patties have gone down and not over the past month but for years now. The meat is often stretched with flour which can result in a gooey consistency, on top of the fact that they dont even place a teaspoon of meat into there patties. I mean for a place that 90% of there revenue comes from patties i would think they would do better. But they have many things in their favor like being one of the few Haitian patty bakeries and they’ve had that location for over thirty years. Unilocal is the best place to state ones opinion on the experience as a concern brought to any associate would surely go on deaf ears. The overall taste of the patty is good with a warm flaky crust.
Although I want to mentioned that i stopped eating there patties about 2 yrs ago after me and my friend were horribly sick for days after eating a herring and chicken patty one Sunday.
Herring used to be my fave but its nearly $ 3 a patty now, i like them because they are spicy and tend to have the most filling. The beef $ 1 are a nice start for someone looking to try a authentic haitian patty but contains less than a teaspoon of meat filling.
In conclusion I have mourned them years ago but was hopeful for its revival. Sadly I will only patronize Le foyer as a last resort especially since Fan Fan bakery about 5mins away has great/​better patty with tasty bountiful filling for $ 1.50 each regardless of filling YUM YUM
Oh and tge two stars are cause i grew up with them they used to be amazing but since the parents/​founders passed it one to there children the EVERYTHING has suffered and they do just enough to keep the dollars rolling in. Oh and one more thinng most of there American baked goods come from like BJs or worse some bargain grocers, so dont waste your time

Patties are Awesome Just get there early on a Sunday if you don’t want to wait in a long line

I have been going to Le Foyer for at least 20 years or more now and if it was for customer service i would boycott them. They patties use to be big, meaty and flaky and oh so good good. The price use to be great as well. Then they heck up the price, made the patties smaller and added way less meat. How does it make sense to give less for more money. anyways, I continue going because of my children who loves Haitian patty but can’t speak a word of Haitiain creole. They love haitian food so even if i can’t stand the customer service of Le Foyer because of my babies i will pay my money for decent patties and terrible customer service. Btw don’t get me wrong i still think the make the best haitian patties in town as long as you don’t mind the terrible customer service, the long line and the high price. Until I hear or read better my children and I will continue going.

I decided to come to Le Foyer Bakery on the recommendation of a friend. I had a beef and a chicken patty, and the pastry was delightful. However, there was barely any meat in the patty; it was all pastry. I would have given full stars for this place if they didn’t skimp out on the meat.

The quality of the beef, smoked herring, and salt fish patties are excellent.
The customer service however gets minus 3 stars, because there is always only one person handling the register, the products, and the customers, no smile, no greeting, and extensive waiting.
My suggestion to the owners is to spend a little money and hire some additional help.

The patties were okay.
Wayyyy too small for this price though. I like the hareng patty, however 2.50 for a pattie the size of half of my palm, not reasonable.

I love beef and chicken patties and I always am a fan of Jamaican beef patties and cocoa bread and Jamaican cheese! But Haitian patties have a heartiness to it that’s hard to explain. The prices and size annoy me a lot but the quality and different take on chicken and beef patties are great.

I got introduced to Le Foyer by my uncle’s wife, as her family’s Haitian. I’m grateful for my aunt and the great Haitian patties and desserts she introduced me to.
The beef, chicken, and spicy herring patties are light and flaky. If you’re lucky, you’ll get your order just as they’ve come out of the oven.
The langue de boeuf is a sweet, light buttery pastry that’s a great way to end a meal. The Neapolitans aren’t bad, either,
One comment: I don’t speak Haitian Creole, so I do feel self-​conscious placing my order in English when most of the other customers speak Creole. However, once I take the first bite of my order, I’m reminded that «Mmmm!!!» means the same in English as it does in Creole…

Hands down best patties around. This bakery got just right. The perfect ratio of meat, seasonings, flaky soft, dough. Every bite you takes, creates a flaky storm on your shirt. I have been coming to this place a lot of years. This is a known neighborhood fav, that continues to do what they do best and that’s make great patties. chicken, beef, fish, they all are good.

i’m in LOVE with this place!!! the patties are to die for! i would give it ten stars if i could

Horrible. I don’t know how this place has gotten anything above one star! The service was horrendous. I walked in with my mother and instead of a greeting and smiles I was stared at and then ignored. I overlooked the offense and ordered a blueberries and chocolate muffin… it was disgusting. It was like tasteless dough. I don’t recall what my mom ordered but I do remember her having to throw it in the compost. Mattapan is in desperate need of a bakery but one that actually knows how to craft delicious (or at least edible) pastries.

Haitian Meat Patties are awesome other reviewers are 100% correct. Try the Herring ones. Oh so good.
FYI the don’t start the chicken ones until 2PM and everyone knows it so be prepared to wait in line.

Umm, good ol’ Le Foyer bakery. This bakery offers a wide array of Haitian pastries and other goodies ranging from cakes to freshly baked bread of some good azz patties. Their cakes are very delicious too, they don’t over do it on the icing either and if you ever personally order one for an event (highly recommended you can ask for more or less icing). They make this pastry called «Tab-​lit» I don’t know if I’m spelling it right but its pronounced that way. «Tab-​lits» are combination of fresh peanuts and caramel-​roasted. It is very very tasty. I just love this little shop every time I’m in the Mattapan area I always make an effort to get me a lil’ «somethin-​somethin» from this bakery. And don’t get me started on the Haitian patties– they make great snacks/​appetizers whether for groups, parties, dinner-​parties whatever. Just give it a world if ever get the chance, pretty nice people too. Holla at ya boy!
