I come here often but not really sure why I haven’t reviewed it. These are my favorite type of pates and everything just works out so right here. I always get each flavor when I visit since I live pretty far. Yes, I take the bus all the way here with no regrets. The fish, beef and chicken all taste delicious with flaky pastry dough and buttery goodness. The lemonade is sweet but the vanilla is a nice touch. I like it better than regular lemonade actually. They also sell other items like dried lalo(jute leaves) for $ 5 a bundle which is like an earthy spinach that goes great with crab or meat bits. The Haitian bread is super fresh and they have little items like candied nuts and salted popped corn kernels. The castor oil is by request in the back but it’s cheap vs. store brand stuff and sold in little baby food jars. It’s a small hole in the wall spot but service is friendly enough with a simple hello, thanks and welcome. No frills needed.

Well, what can I say? Reliable stupid delicious Haitian food. And I’m Haitian so I know good Haitian food when I taste it. No don’t expect a royal waitressing experience. It’s more of a take out place. Mom and Pop style. Hence the one $ sign and I think that’s fair but maybe they can be more aware of greeting people upon entering. For its category it’s good portions, fairly priced and exceptional food TASTE! Tip: It’s also not just a bakery and has a full service breakfast, lunch and dinner menu.

Baking goods are very scrumptious, however many of the patrons are beyond rude, often skipping the lines. Of course, the level of customer service is highly poor as in many of these Haitian establishments. There are many instances where the cashiers would not acknowledge their customers nor having any type of mannerism when welcoming customers. Tchiup… this isn’t Haiti; there are tons of competitions out here. Therefore, train cashiers to provide the utmost customer care when visiting the store. I am done supporting these little«mom & pop» store that ignite my blood pressure.

Le bon! If you like Haitian food you are going to love eating here. Don’t go in here expecting something fancy. It’s a hole in the wall spot and not about ambience. It’s always busy here because people know the food is good. Be sure to try the Haitian pâté. It is so good you will definitely come back for more. The crust is so perfectly flaky and buttery.

If you find yourself in the area, please stop here to treat yourself to a $ 1 Haitian pâté(pah-tay). They have beef, chicken and fish. Nice warm flaky crust with well seasoned meat, can’t go wrong with that! I do wish they did more with the décor but hey c’est la vie. This is a takeout kind of place and I believe it’s cash only like many other small mom and pop shops in the area.

I made a special trip to Immaculee Bakery to get some fish pâté(pah-tay) after reading a review online. I was taken aback & put off by the appearance of the shop(cramped & messy), but since I had schlepped all the way there in the pouring rain, I decided to get my pâté. Note: Be prepared to take them to go since there is no seating area. Definitely more crust than filling, but good crust, very flaky & rich, but a little dry. I ended up getting fish & chicken pâté, both were good, but with the same over abundance of crust & not enough filling. Flavorful filling but too little of it. Needed a balance between the crust & filling. Great as an occasional, rich treat.

Every Haitian person has their favorite bakery to go for pâté(please dont call these patty/patties as these have nothing to do with Jamaican patties. Just cause there is meat surrounded by a starch doesnt mean its the same. Chinese have roast pork buns but aint nobody calling these pastries Haitian pork buns… but I digress). As you can see we get very passionate about our pâté. At a Haitian get together people can get very outspoken about the key qualities of perfect pâté as well as which bakery gets the title of maker of the perfect pâté. That being said Im pretty picky about my pâté. And I have been on the search for the perfect pâté since moving to NYC more than 8 years ago. These are good Haitian pates. I have been going here at least 5 years. These are not the best I have ever had in a lifetime of eating pates. But if you want a consistent and reliable treat this is a great place to go. The standout here is the flaky crust in all its buttery flaky goodness. The reason that the pâté doesnt get higher rating from me is I think the dough to meat ratio is too high. That is too much puff pastry for the amount of meat. The meat is always well seasoned with a tiny kick from hot pepper. I always order the beef pâté or the codfish as I find the chicken underwhelming. The staff are nice. And the value of bakery items is amazing.

Always wishing to have cash passing this spot. I was put onto Haitian beef patties and never wanna go back! Sometimes super super good, other times dry lacking meat but the flaky crust makes up for it. Nice ladies inside and always smells wonderful!

This is a great place to come for the Haitian patty. I got the fish/cod patty. It was warm and flaky very good. I also had their AK100 drink plus some other baked goods. Everything in there is fresh. The staff is friendly. The prices are decent.

I’ve only tried the Haitian patties on a friend’s recommendation. I tried the chicken patty first for only $ 1. It was warm, flaky and buttery. The perfect pastry. Then the meat is seasoned with a little kick of spiciness. I went back the next day for a beef patty and this time was smart enough to buy 2. Just as good as the chicken patty. If I weren’t dieting, I would probably go there every day for a daily fix. But I’m definitely looking forward to having this as an occasional treat. Cash only and usually no wait. The best time to go is at night when they do all the baking. Everything is fresh and you can smell the dough down the block.

Every time I walk past this bakery, I can’t help but slow down just to enjoy the smell of freshly baked patties. The chicken patties are my favorite. I don’t like the beef, because they add onions to it. I have no idea why. I love the bread! Plus, they sell the powder to make grenadia(passion juice). Jackpot!

No frills, haitian patty! Came here a few years ago and stopped in again a few days ago. I got the chicken patty and it sure tastes the same as it did years prior. It’s basically haitian pastry and a small amount of meat in the middle. It’s tasty and not spicy like other patties. There isn’t alot of meat which is alright I guess because the flaky crust makes all up all for the skimpy amount of meat. Everytime I come people are walking in and out purchasing various baked items. I haven’t ventured out and tried anything else but the patties here. They are the right price and I recommend going and picking up a few of the chicken, beef, or fish and I promise you will not be sorry!

Everything a Haitian patty should be. It’s flaky, warm, and the meat oozes out with each bite. The beef even contains onions, something I’ve never before seen in my patty. And it’s only a buck.

Hours: M-Sat 8am-9:30pm, Sun 8−6pm I went at the end of the day on Friday, so I wasn’t expecting the freshest baked goods. The rhomboid-shaped flat rolls with two toothpick holes in each that they had in twist-tied plastic bags sitting on trays on the glass display case were amazing! Soft crust on the outside, al dente and fragrant white bread on the inside. Each roll had several layers. No butter needed! And they were still warm from the oven. The meringue-like cookies were ok. The beef and fish patties were stale and didn’t have much meat inside, but I could tell the generously-layered pastry was painstakingly made and of high quality, though it was probably fresher at the beginning of the day. $ 6.75 for 2 beef patties, 1 fish patty, bag of 5 small cookies, and bag of 6 rolls

This review is for fan #87 80 cents for a beef patty. Not only cheap but ridiculously good. I also had a swordfish patty. I’m not sure which one I liked more. The swordfish oil mixed in with the flakes of dough sent me wild. This is a long way from the yellow Jamaican beef patties on every corner of the nether regions of Brooklyn. This is so different. For once, it’s a baked good. A wonderful creation created from a bakery. Buttery and creamy, layers and layers of flaky crust infusing with the curried insides and your fingers. This is crust in the highest sense. Only this isn’t a bakery. It looks like they mostly sell raw materials for cooking. And what the heck is AK-100? and the heck Phoscao? These drinks are intriguing. Now I have to go back. Thanks to porkchop express for pointing me in this direction:
