Crown Bakery

When Teja say there's no place like home, he didn't lie. But there are a few places that truly make you feel like home is down the street. So I ventured round the corner just to partake of a few indulgences of Trinidad and Tobago. Sweet bread, Coconut drops, Coconut roll, guava pastry and also a Mango pastry or two. He asked if I had a sweet tooth. Well yes. Crown Bakery is my home away from home. Home sweet home

Favorite brunch spot in DC so far and favorite "I don't feel like cooking dinner" spot. Owners are amazing and there's so many options. I went for their Sunday brunch. P.S. they only do brunch on Sundays and don't have their full menu available. The brunch is upstairs and offers a cozy atmosphere.The brunch options were brown stew chicken, fish, callaloo, rice and peas, white rice, red beans and rice, max and cheese, coco bread, sweet bread, crab, and a few others things I couldn't remember. For drinks: the options were coffee, tea, water, rum punch, and guava pineapple juice. I loved everything!!! The only thing I didn't particularly like was the fish. It was a bit dry for my liking but maybe because it was sitting out for awhile. All the sauces offered on the side were amazing. My personal favorite was the pineapple haberno sauce. The guava pineapple juice was really really tasty. As well as the rum punch. Strong but not too strong. Service was attentive and I left STUFFED. The price runs at $45 per person. This is about the cost of most brunch spots in DC so I shouldn't have been surprised. Don't think I'd particularly go for brunch again anytime soon but will go to try their other menu items during the week.

Long overdue review, but the food, service, and ambiance are all great! Everything about Crown Bakery makes you feel like you're back in the islands. I grew up eating all of their delicious savory meals and pastries. The weekends are my favorite because of the 10/10 street food, & the best corn soup! Thank you Trevor and Jennifer for your years of hospitality and authentic Trinidadian cuisine!

This review has been a long time coming, let's go! So fun fact, I've been eating at this establishment for 5 years and have never actually stepped foot in it until this day. I've normally secured orders through friends, at a street fair, and through UberEats. Allow me to say this, the food has always been DELICIOUS every time that I've ordered and that's hard for restaurants to say. As a born Trinidadian, I can be the critical of Caribbean cuisines LOL. Specifically, Trinidadian food because I grew up eating all of our dishes and have become familiar with its taste. Caribbean food is known for our rich spices and we pass the test on seasoning our meats and seafood. This place makes Trinidad proud with well seasoned food and some of the best baked goods on this side of town. My boyfriend and I enjoyed a delicious curry chicken roti each with buss up shot. We added pepper sauce and tamarind sauce on top and devoured our meals. It was SO good! Their currants rolls, baked breads, and other baked goods are also very delicious and fresh.

Mr Trevor and Ms Jenifer are great, the food is consistent and for catering purposes it's affordable to get food for your events, upstairs has a hidden gem.Ask about their brunch Quality service and good ambiance upstairs ..

My husband bought a variety of rotis and chicken dishes from Crown. I got my usual, spicy goat roti. The roti skin was thin and flaky but a bit dry. The goat curry was spicy but lacked the curry note. The goat was dry and stringy. Filling was not generous but it had an okay 2:1 meat to potatoes ratio. The roti left me feeling like I ate Jamaican roti and not a Trini roti. I'm not an expert. I just prefer my Trini roti. Would I try it again? Yes. Maybe I should eat it at the store. See if this would resolve the dryness of the roti skin and meat.

Need to update times on yelp. Drove here and got here at 9pm and they were closed. Despite yelp saying it closes at 11pm

My favorite go-to Bakery whenever I'm in DC, Georgia Avenue. Very good customer service. Food is good. Very neat surroundings and restroom as well. A lot of amazing patties to try. Also nutritional homemade hygienic juices. Kudos Crown Bakery

I love going to Crown Bakery for a good pastry. It's one of my most frequented snacking places when I'm in Washington, D.C. My favorites are the spinach pies, and the coconut rolls. I also enjoy the lentil pie, and I get chicken pie sometimes too. They carry a really amazing Caribbean ice cream that comes in pints. I love it when they aren't sold out of the Mango and Passion fruit flavors. Those flavors are so good that they get sold out fast, but they have other popular flavors too. I can't wait to go back to D.C. for more of their amazing snacks.

The best Trini Bakery in the D.C./Maryland area. The food, pastries and service was AMAZING!!!! Worth the Drive, worth the price, worth your time, worth braving the rain. Had a little bit of everything. The Current Rolls were flaky, tasty and tender. The Doubles were HUGE and Delicious, packed with flavor. The Shrimp Roti was Mouthwatering, lots of shrimp simply Scrumptious. The Beef Patties were flaky and perfect. The Corn Soup had just the right blend of Sweet and Savory. And my FAVORITE and Most Unexpected was the BAKE & SHARK!!!!! OMG AMAZING!!! ABSOLUTELY Delicious!!! The food here will make you Crave the Islands. I Left there ready to book my ticket for TRINIDAD and Maracus Bay!!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Crown Bakery for taking me on a Wonderful Journey. The BEST place in D.C. Stop By....You Will NOT be Disappointed!!!
