My supervisor at work – Mirthal – brought a box to work one morning. I remember it as if it was 15 minutes ago. Rectangular and appearing to be made of cardboard, this box made an immediate impression upon me and I began calculating – wondering – "Is this a cake or some type of pastry?" "How many slices of cake are inside?" "How can I ask for a piece without appearing greedy?" "Will she miss one or two if I just take some without asking?" "Who can I blame if she realizes some are missing?" "Why am I still working here?"
To my delight, I heard, "Sohail, I brought some patties in and this can be your breakfast". My stomach responded to the call and before I knew it, I was staring down at perhaps a dozen golden patties and soon chomping down on perhaps the single tastiest fish patty I have ever chomped down on in my entire life. The thousand layers of puff pastry parted ways with the lightest of bites – dopamine levels surged in my brain – an involuntary smile appeared on my lips – the phone rang – I hung it up – I needed to concentrate on this moment.
I'm writing this review now after consuming six patties and placing three in my lab coat pocket for safe keeping. Shhh, don't tell anyone.
Found this place on a whim, they have a $10 credit card minimum. The patties are $1.25 each, which isn't too bad for flaky and buttery meat/fish filled goodies. Don't expect these to be filled to the brim, that's not how Haitian patties roll. I got three chicken and three fish ones to go and I was pleased with my decision.
I couldn't wait for this place to open because that meant a bakery in walking distance. When it finally did open I was thrilled to find out that it was a Haitian run establishment. I myself being Haitian I enjoy having such treat as Pâté, Haitian bread, and much more. And you find all that here. Everything you liked growing up and freshly made too. The breads are so soft and practically melts in your mouth.
The Pâté are flaky and filled with a decent amount of filling, which ever you choose to have, whether it is made up of grounded beef, chicken, or morue. I have to say they are the best I've ever had so far.
Ever hungry but don't exactly know what you want? That was me tonight. After having enough heavy dinner food I needed something to suffice a light, tasty craving.
I tried La Baguette for the first time and I'm glad I did. I had beef and chicken patties. They were flavorful and the flaky pastry that encompassed the meat made for a great patty.
These patties were inexpensive and pleasantly warm since they came straight from the oven.
While they serve delicious baked goods, there is almost no type of decor here. For a French based bakery, they could have fun with enhancing the image here. Possibly in time… Until then enjoy the patties.
I came to this corner to catch the B103 bus in a rush on my way to Barclays Center. Since the bus was taking forever (as usual, damn you MTA) I decided to pop in a grab some beef patties. I'm so glad I did!
The Patties: WOW. Scrumptious! I tried the beef patties and to my surprise they were only $1 each. These patties are so incredibly flaky and buttery. The pastry part is amazing on its own before you get a taste of the beef filling. The beef is filling is perfect! Not over seasoned and slightly saucy. Perfect contrast to the dryness of the crust. The patties were excellent. My only complaint is that I wish they had more filling. I'd gladly pay $1.50 for more filling.
Honestly, I'm tempted to give this place 5 star rating for proving such a delicious item for ok $1. But I have this rule about not giving out 5 star ratings based on one item. One thing is for sure, I won't pass this place again with out getting a couple patties.

That hit the spot!
