The beef Jamaican patty I had which was warm was quite good, much better than the other Caribbean place I tried near Tillicum. However, the one that was cold was dry and difficult to swallow.
Perhaps this may have been remedied if the gentleman at the counter offered to heat the other patty up; he did not.
I'm certainly no authority on Jamaican patties but I highly recommend the warm ones, just steer clear of the ones that aren't heated.
Hi James! Thank you for your great hospitality yesterday. I warmed up the pockets and Carribean/Jamaican lasagna thing this morning at the B&B where I am staying. They were all greatš My boyfriend liked the veggie pocket the most, and I liked the salted fish and the fruit one the most. The lasagna was very similar to what we have in Canada, but the creaminess of the cheese compliments well with the veggies inside!! āØ
Thank you again and we will definitely come back when we visit Victoria.
This place is a hidden gem.
I had the Ox tail and rice 10/10
My bf had the jerk chicken 10/10.
If you have not gone here yet you need to go right now. Literally right now.
Amazing amazing amazing food! Iām in town for hospital stay and my cousin brought me Jamaican patties, they are everything I could wish for and more. The only reason I didnāt do five across the board is I didnāt personally go in myself but cousin says amazing and I do not doubt that. Canāt wait to go again and tell chef how great the food is in person! Thank you sooo much!
The only thing better than the patties is the atmosphere and community. All thanks to James, who has been running this cafe for over 20 years.

Great little place with by far the best Jerk Chicken on the island!!! Wow! James the proprietor is an awesome friendly fellow and talented chef! Lots of fresh baking daily, tasty treats and great menu, an excellent place to buy Caribbean soft drinks as well as traditional Caribbean favourites! If you are on the island take the time to visit this place, you will not be disappointed!

Stumbled upon this cute litte hole in the wall while visiting Victoria, BC. We ordered the Jerk Chicken Plate & Salt Fish & Ackee Patty. Omgoodness, the chicken was fall off the bone tender & the Jerk sauce was bursting with flavour. It tasted like it had been simmering for hours, as the flavours were so well developed. It had a nice kick of heat to it without being too spicy. The Vegetable Curry & Spanish Rice side dishes were well seasoned while not overpowering, allowing the Jerk Chicken to really shine. The Salt Fish & Ackee Patty, was delicious.
Not pictured, we also ordered 2 Chicken Patties which our son said was delicious. We also took a few cookie sandwiches to go & oh my they were so good!
James, the chef & I'm guessing owner, was a lovely host who treated us with great hospitality. He gave us complementary chutney, claiming it was the best chutney & he wasn't wrong. It truly was delicious & a wonderful accompaniment to our meal.
This place is a little off the beaten path & not in the touristy area of Victoria, however, it's definitely worth checking out. It's probably the best Caribbean food I've had outside of the Caribbean & I was married to a Bajan man for almost 20 years, whose mom & Aunties are amazing cooks!

Food n the atmosphere were great. The owner is such a gentleman he's a really nice man. Treated Donna n myself to a chicken jerk n a patty. Yummy, since we both have been in Jamaica. š Thanks again Eric...
The hand pies and samosa were tasty but the funny, generous owner is what made our visit so awesome.
The food is just amazing. And love the natural set up
