Allwyn's Bakery

Food is really, really tasty. Once ordered it is prepared relatively quickly. The curry chicken was moist and mild with great flavor. The jerk was quite spicy... quite... but was also tender and juicy. So, full marks for the food. Stars deducted for "cash only" operation -1 and the less than good dine-in area -1. Vegetarian options: I think so. Parking: Plenty... large lot. Wheelchair accessibility: No

This place could be called a hole in the wall, the spots that aren’t the most appealing but have the best food you can find in the neighbourhood. The food makes it a great spot for some Caribbean food done justice. Not the coziest interior or seating area but that’s how you know it’s going to be good. The prices are a little much, especially for oxtail which is the cheapest cut of meat or is supposed to be. Overall, if you’re coming by for some curry chicken or a good bite to eat this spot can make the rotation.

Best jerk chicken I had. Good quality chicken with no bone. A litte spicy make it more tasty . The cow tail is Yummy too .

Similar to other Jamaican spots in Toronto, it’s a more take-out/pick-up type of restaurant, so just keep that in mind when going to get a bite. What’s nice about Allwyn’s is that the food was super hot and fresh, as we even waited some extra minutes for the Oxtail. Additionally, the two gentle men working that day were super kind and had great customer service. I ordered their Jerk Chicken Sandwich, Large Oxtail Plate, 1/2 Jerk Pork and Side Oxtail. YO, the Jerk Chicken Sandwich????? BUSSSSSSSIN. That joint was too nice, the chicken was tender and juicy, the jerk spice was delicious, there was the perfect amount of coleslaw and the bread just came in harmony. I really wish I ordered a second one because it was that good. The Oxtail Plate was excellent! The meat was falling off the bone, the gravy was AMAZING, and you could really taste the browning. The rice and peas tasted as it should lol, and their coleslaw is so simple but effective. One thing I will say is that on the menu, they depicted the plate coming with some plantain on the side, and it did not so that sucked. The side Oxtail was actually a great portion for the price, like if I lived in the GTA, I’d be consistently ordering that and making the sides myself at home to last a few nights for dinner. Seriously some of the best Oxtail I’ve ever had. As for the pork, this was actually my first time trying Jerk Pork, and it really good as well. Man, until I find a successor, Allwyn’s Bakery can hold its crown as best Jamaican restaurant I’ve ever been to. I seriously look forward to the day that we meet again.

Cash only, so be prepared! My partner brought me here after telling me so many stories of him coming here throughout his high school years. We got a stuffed sandwich and a jerk chicken sandwich. The stuffed was a Jamaican patty and jerk chicken in a sandwich. My partner loved and preferred the stuffed but I liked the classic jerk chicken one. It was super yummy and filling and the prices were affordable and everything came out so quickly— i can see why this place is so popular! I definitely recommend coming by whenever you’re near the area. I would love to come by and try some of their different dishes!

AMAZING!! Loaded patty jerk meat with coleslaw and jerk pork pictured. I prefer the juicier softer jerk chicken. Cash only, very affordable, no seating. Everything under $10

Just found this place! Had no idea that it was so close to the school that I take my son to basketball practicedriving from Hamilton I ordered the small jerk chicken with rice and peas and slaw. The chicken was moist and it had a lot of flavour, it was delicious.

Oxtail and bbq chicken was good, jerk chicken was tasty but a little dry this time. Fluffy rice and the “gravy” is soo good. They have “family packs” on the weekend. Cash or debit only. Takeout only. Unassuming exterior but very authentic .

Coco bread is nice and fluffy and just enough stuffing of coleslaw to ensure the patty isn’t too dry inside. Jerk chicken is also nice and tender. Would recommend!

Extremely tasty authentic food, great service and unmatched value. I have been to many Jamaican restaurants around the city and I have to say this is the best Jamaican food I have had in the city in a long time. It is hard to say if it is the best I had in Toronto but recency bias would say it is. The jerk chicken is expertly crafted and seasoned, portion generous, coleslaw plentiful and oxtail gravy on the rice was very good. I also tried their patties and they definitely checked all the boxes I look for in a great patty. They were flaky, well packed and well spiced. I recommend this place for anyone who wants to have quality Jamaican cooking at more than fair prices. Will return for my next fix soon. Thank you.
