Allwyn’s Bakery

Fast service. Cash only. Taxes in prices. Good portions and not skimpy on the meat. This is my new spot. Sir allwyn, you’ve earned my loyalty.

So cheap and so good! Ordered 2 patties and 2 jerk chicken on coco bread and coleslaw with 1 pineapple drink and it only added up to $ 14 at the time we went. Highly recommend everyone checkout restaurant. They open 11:30am and noon on Sundays.

Best Jerk wings in TO! The jerk pork is pretty amazing as well. Prices are as good or better than most places.

Order the jerk chicken with rice and peas. It’s spicy enough and the chicken is not dry.
This restaurant is at the corner of a old looking strip plaza with blue and white signage. Definitely adding this place to my hidden gem list!

Super solid place. Real friendly, great portions, and super tasty. I usually go with jerk chicken dinner, but the patties are amazing. The jerk sandwiches are also great.
No 5^th star cuz it only accepts cash

My worst experience. There was too much fat on the meat and the location is very bad. But the beef patties are good and I recommend to not stay there. Just get and leave. Also this place only takes cash.

OMG! This place is sooooooo good!!! Despite having never heard of this place until a couple of weeks ago, this is definitely my new favourite jerk take-​out.
We ordered a ton of food because we had a hard time deciding what to get. We ordered half a dozen spicy beef patties, a large jerk chicken dinner, a large jerk pork dinner, and half a pound of jerk wings. The jerk wings were SO good that they kind of ruined the jerk chicken dinner for us. I wouldn’t get the jerk chicken again, just because the wings were so much more flavourful. The jerk pork dinner was amazing; coleslaw was a good compliment to the spice and the rice and peas were delicious. The spicy patties are amazing as well; they don’t dumb down the «spicy». Next time, I’d like to try either the goat curry or the oxtail — they both look amazing!
In addition to everything being super yummy, we only spent a bit over $ 30 for all that food… How can you beat that?!?

This is a hidden gem… literally hidden.
Oxtail dinner and stuffed sandwich are to die for!
Just remember that it’s cash only and this place is a one man operation so be pairing when there’s a line up!
Going back to try the roti!

Amazing food, if a little mild, and the service is amazing;
I was short a couple of cents due to the cash only policy and
the young guy at the cash hooked it up.

Tried the chicken jerk sandwich. Not a fan of the coco bread, the chicken was meh. Beef patties were terrible.

I have been coming to this place for the past 2 years– religiously!
The jerk chicken sandwich is super tasty! The chicken is nice and juicy and the flavour is there. The one con is I find the spice is lacking. But, still an addicting sandwich nonetheless. Their coco bread is super delish’ as well! I am always leaving with a dozen of cocoa breads and the spicy patties!

Not a lot of space to eat in. There is a stand up counter on one side of the restaurant that protrudes out of the way. Then there is a modest round table that will accommodate four chairs. A local brought me because I was craving oxtail stew with rice and peas.
My meal was delicious. A small styrofoam container was packed full with rice, lots of oxtail pieces and coleslaw. This was a slurp and smile kind of meal. Service was efficient and the people who run this establishment are lovely.
The most popular order seemed to be the jerk chicken sandwich which indeed looked fantastic. Will definitely be back but be warned, this is definitely off the beaten track and more of a neighbourhood spot than a destination eating place. Lots of regulars came in – mostly tradespeople, couriers, and residents of the Underhill neighbourhood.
Will be back.

This place use to be in a plaza near York Mills and Vic Park, when I saw they were closing all the shops and it was blocked off I was devastated because I loved Allwyn’s jerked chicken sandwiches. However when I discovered they relocated to Underhill, I was super excited and it taste the same as before, awesome. I definitely recommend this place for a quick bite, or grab a few lbs of jerked chicken for take out and pig out at home, it’s soooo good.

Someone told me their patties are the best in town. That person was very mistaken. Not only is this not the best, but the food was subpar compared to many other Caribbean restaurants i’ve been to.
The best way to describe this place is hole in the wall with acceptable food in large portions. If you judge quality by the amount you get, then this place is a solid 3.5 stars.

Decent place hole in the wall. Sizes are hearty and prices are decent. Jerk chicken was spicy and pretty good, and rice and beans was very good. The patty was okay, nothing special.
Had a pretty decent flow of traffic inside the store, so food is pretty fresh. They only accept cash.

I love across the street from this place and I can hands down say best jerk chicken ever!!! If you haven’t tried them you are definitely missing out on excellent food!

My go to spot for JERK! This is the only spot I’ll go to! The best jerk chicken in Toronto! The best part is that it’s only 4 mins away from my work! LOLOLOLOL
The serving is BIG! U’ll need a bed after eating their jerk chicken! It’s sooo good!
They only accept CASH but then again there’s a TD bank next door!
Staff is good & pretty straight forward!

I’ve been meaning to check out this place because it’s nearby with pretty good reviews.
For lunch, I ordered the Jerk Chicken Sandwich ($ 4.40) and Spicy Beef Patty ($ 1.50). Yes, I eat quite a lot and $ 6 got me really full. I agree with other reviews that you get your money’s worth. I was first asked to pay double and a little sorry would’ve been nice after I pointed it out. It’s not really a dine-​in location (though there are seats) so be ready to eat it somewhere else.
I’ve never tried a jerk chicken sandwich before, but I wasn’t too crazy about it. It tastes good, but the coleslaw was so rich with mayo that it was too heavy in my opinion. There’s no acidity to the slaw at all that that it doesn’t cut through the creaminess of the mayo. I wish it was a bit more balanced! The chicken itself was seasoned nicely.
The spicy beef patty has a kick to it and is really cheap for $ 1.50!

This place is only about 4 mins drive from my work, and whenever I have serious beef patty cravings, this is the place to go. The prices are cheap and the serving is big.
There is basically only one table table to sit on, that can sit 4 people, but I don’t think that matters, as this is really a take-​out place.
Most of the cashiers/​servers are just ok, the service is pretty straightforward.
I like the consistency of their patties, meaty and flavorful. One of the best beef patties in the GTA! If I am craving Jamaican food, this is my go-​to place.
This place only accepts cash.

I’ve been going to Allwyn’s for over 15 years. The quality of the food has never let me down. My go-​to is the Jerk Chicken sandwich with coleslaw. SO GOOD. And even though the prices have gone up, it’s really only due to inflation. It’s still a good price for a great snack sandwich.
The patties here are awesome too, the spicy is my favourite.
Kinda sucks they had to move location, but the new place is bigger and has a small area to sit in.

Decided to try this place after so many positive reviews. I had the small jerk chicken which came with the standard rice and peas and coleslaw. Portion was good. Jerk was slightly spiced and mostly meat. Personally I found the meal, with the absence of skin and bone, to be on the bland side. Overall an average jerk.
Establishment clean, service friendly, prices reasonable.

First time coming to this location, conveniently located close to home. Excellent curry chicken roti, with large portions.

Was super excited to try this spot because of all the good reviews I had been hearing. Unfortunately I found the food to be under average for me. Firstly, what kind of beans are in the rice and peas?, never seen any bean like that before but okay. Was looking forward to the rice and peas that usually contain kidney beans. I had an oxtail dinner and jerk dinner. The oxtail was all bone and when I did get some of the meat it was tasteless. The jerk was just okay. I heard a lot about how good their coleslaw was so I was surprised to find it not that creamy and tasteless as well. I also ordered their chicken curry roti which was good and so was their jerk wings.

This is an updated review at the new location. First off, it has a lot more room, is much cleaner, and for the first time ever, Allwyn’s has seating!
($$$ as of January 2016. All prices include taxes.)
Right off the bat I want to say that their prices have gone up a lot. Too much. The large jerk chicken dinner was $ 7.25 around the time his old location was closing down, and at the new one, the prices have gone up steadily every 3 or 4 months. Now that same dinner is $ 9.65 — and that’s insane. Seriously, I’m already going less because the value has gotten atrocious.
JAMAICAN PATTY SANDWICH (WITH COCO BREAD AND COLESLAW):
($ 2.50, or $ 2.25 without coleslaw)
This one hasn’t gone up in price much at least. It’s yummy, and two for $ 5 is filling and worth it. Without the slaw? Blah. I don’t understand why people would do that. Without it, it’s bland and boring — it’s Allwyn’s delicious coleslaw that sets it apart. The coco bread and slaw — one so soft and with a hint of coconut milk, the other a fantastic creamy crunch with lots of flavour. Available in both spicy and mild beef. Both are very good options, depending on your preference! I prefer mild. They used to only have the alternative patties (like chicken or veggie) sparingly on weekends, but now it seems to be available daily.
JERK CHICKEN SANDWICH WITH COLESLAW:
($ 4.60, also available with jerk pork for same price)
This thing is popular with the Unilocal community. It’s good but to me not filling for the price. I’d need to get 2 to be truly satisfied, and you’re talking $ 9.20 by that point. There is a decent amount of boneless juicy chicken in that same soft coco bread with the slaw, but I certainly am not as impressed as others. Firstly, it’s messy as heck (the chicken and slaw fall out of the bun, into the bag) and secondly, it’s gone up in price FIVE times since I started going there not even that long ago. It used to be $ 3.70 and that I think was the right price for it. Then $ 3.85… then $ 4.25… then $ 4.40… and now $ 4.60. You can even see it in the pictures posted here — every few months, higher prices. It’s too much a jump, too often.
LARGE JERK CHICKEN DINNER:
($ 9.65, or $ 6.75 for the small)
Okay, first off, the jerk chicken on its own? Delicious. Allwyn’s has some of the best jerk chicken around. The rice with beans? Plentiful and tasty, especially when it soaks in the jerk sauce. The slaw? Always good. It’s filling, true, but the value is crap. As I said, it used to be $ 7.25 and now and not even that much later, it’s almost 10 bucks.
JERK CHICKEN CURRY ROTI
($ 8.75, or $ 9.50 if you select goat)
A newer entry. The same boneless jerk chicken with potatoes, curry sauce, and wrapped in warm roti breading. It was good, although personally I didn’t like the type of wrap they use. It was fairly dry, made using cornmeal or something. Next time, I will request extra sauce to compensate. When it launched at $ 7.25, it was decent value… now that’s like $ 9. Come on.
Notes:
— You can get the jerk chicken or pork on its own. $ 5.90 for ½ a pound and $ 11 for 1 pound.
— The coleslaw can be purchased on its own as well ($ 2.50 /​$ 3.95)
— They have soup on the weekend. I tried the oxtail soup once and did not like it
— They no longer serve loafs of bread at the new location
Overall:
I like Allwyns and I am glad they were able to relocate rather than shut down, but their prices are lousy now, and will only continue to go up. There are a few other places I go to that have had the same prices since 2013 — they’ll be getting my business more often.
(Also, don’t blame the poor state of the dollar. You KNOW that if the economy improves, no business in the country will drop their prices back down. So basically, people are spending more without getting more)

I have had their jerk chicken sandwich with Coleslaw, their beans and rice, and their patty with coco bread previously. I like the jerk chicken sandwich but when i brought it home to my parents who lived in Jamaica for over 7 years and they didn’t like it. Said while the jerk chicken part wasnt bad, the bread and the beans and rice were not what they had in jamaica. That being said, their jerk chicken is juicy and a lot of people like its flavour and love that jerk chicken sandwich with coleslaw. Nothing wrong with that. Try it with an open mind, maybe consider it a Canadianized or fusion version of Caribbean food. I deducted one star for that reason and another star because I think their prices are a little high for the quality of food that you get.

This place is the best! Amazing jerk chicken at an incredibly low price. The jerk chicken sandwiches are served on a sweet and fluffy coco bread and will only run you 4.25 a pop. Be sure to ask for coleslaw on your sandwich… They have the best creamy coleslaw I have ever had. It compliments the chicken perfectly. The jerk chicken dinner is also delicious with a side if rice and beans covered in their flavourful oxtail gravy.

New location, same awesome jerk sandwiches and patties. It’s in a slightly less sketchy plaza now, but it’s still not the kind of place you’d wander into without being told about. So… I’m telling you about it… do yourself a favour and check it out. Get the jerk chicken sandwich and if you’re feeling hungry, get a spicy patty to go along with it. A sandwich, patty and pop is under $ 7!

Just as amazing as the old location.
Jerk Chicken sandwich $ 4.25 — huge chunks of chicken, soft light coco bread and to top it off a fresh coleslaw. I haven’t been here in a while so I had 3 just for myself in one sitting.
Also tried their oxtail rice and peas $ 11 — there was a nice portion of meat and it was tender and soft but it was really lacking in flavour. Even though I would give the oxtail a 3 star rating, the jerk chicken sandwich gets bonus points because I have yet to find a place that can make a jerk chicken sandwich like this place does it.
