Checking out this iconic beef patty shop! Beef,spicy beef, chicken, veggies and goat filling available.

Tucked away from eyes view have to turn off the main street to see the store front. Enjoy! read more

Great Pattie's. Horrible service. Cashier needs retaining in customer service skills - a greeting or a smile would be nice? Also, for stores like these, it's first comes, first served! Although their Pattie's are great, I'll be looking for a different location to buy from! read more

Where's the filling?! I got the seconds to bring home and these are literally just crust. The crust itself is nice and flaky but there's no filling. It was so dry I needed to put ketchup on it to prevent my mouth from drying out. I'll try the fresh ones but seconds are a scam. For seconds, patty king is still #1. read more

Allan's is a staple in Scarborough. I use to go here all the time with my dad as a kid. I have to say that recently the quality has gone down. I miss the homemade coconut drops! The packaged ones are fine but I really miss the homemade ones. The beef patty i got was cold, not warm, not a feeling of warmth. It was cold! That was disappointing considering she got it from the warmer there. I went home to heat it up, I really wanted to eat something warm. I also purchased a coconut tart and a plantain tart as well. The beef patty after warming it up was just ok. I love the pastry, flaky and delicious but the lack of filling couldn't save this beef patty. There is way too much pastry and not enough filling. The filling itself is delicious! Imagine a nicely filled beef patty oozing with this yummy filling? I would have loved that and have memories of it being like that but sadly things have changed with this place and really not for the better. Service is friendly and efficient. I will revisit and hopefully things will improve. read more

Excellent Pattie's! The best in the city. Whenever my cousin comes up from NY she asks me to buy Allan's Pattie's for her stay. Worth the drive to get them. Thanks!! read more

It's been years since I've had a Jamaican Plantain Tart. If you're unfamiliar, it's a sweet ripe plantain mixture, wrapped in a flaky dough sprinkled with sugar. It's a bit similar in appearance to an apple turnover. This one was made by Allan's Pastry Shop in Scarborough. They usually sell out early so plan your trip to go get one, or two, or a dozen! read more

I love their goat curry patties. If I'm in the area, I will always pick up a box of frozen. I was introduced to this place and in return, when I'm in the area with friends and family, we stop in to grab some. Nothing like work of mouth advertising. The patties are a must try.... They have chicken, beef, goat curry and veggie. read more

It has been a while since I have tried Allan's patty. I had it the day after cause i was so full from dinner and bubble tea. But the next morning it was still amazing! It is so flakey and full of filling. I enjoy the fact that it does not look like a typical patty but very unique in its own special way! I tried the regular beef patty and will for sure come back for the spicy version. read more

We are on the quest to find the best Jamaican patties in the city after returning from our trip in Jamaica where surprisingly, their patties weren't that much better than ours tbh... The menu is pretty simple where you either buy it frozen or fresh for $1 difference. The good thing about here is you can mix and match from beef, chicken, goat. The box cost $21 for a dozen. We got 6x spicy beef, 2x mild beef, 4x goats. The spicy wasn't really that spicy tbh. Its flakey, the filling is evenly spread and the edges aren't dried out as some patty shop usually have. I think this place is comparable to some of the better patties we've had comparing to Patty Time, Michedin, Tropical Delight Eatery (home made Jamaican patties). There use to be a good one in Warden Subway station run by Asian people, but unsure if that is still operating or not. Overall a good purchase for a snack here and there. read more

These patties are perfect in every way. We got veggie and spicey beef. Excellent. The soft, warm, flaky crust. The perfectly flavoured filling. Wow! I tried the plantain tart and just not a fan of the odd filling and colour. Plantain is yellow so not sure why it's red in the middle. Not my thing. One important thing they offer are dozen patties in bags ( any flavour) for 9.50. They sell goat, chicken and beef and veggie. bag is cheaper than the box which is $13.50. The bag is probably cheaper because maybe leftovers from previous batches or just not the perfect shape or size. Either way it's an amazing deal. Best lunch is a patty and ting! After that, everything is irie!! read more

To each their own tastes. To me Allen's Pastry Shop carries the tastiest patties. In a city where there are countless patty shops which each have their own loyal followings, deciding upon the best patty is a contentious debate. I'm not here to debate this. All I know is that the flaky, melt in your mouth pastry crust of their beef patties, especially when they're fresh from the oven, make Allen's a winner in my books. read more

Jamaican patties... legit brings me back to my elementary and high school days. It's what all the kids ate as a quick lunch from the convenience store or as a snack during track meets. Even in uni, patties are always sold as a quick bite. BUTTTT, forget about those old neon yellow patties filled with questionable meat mush.... the patties here at Allan's are like those patties you had X100000. These are SOOOOOO much better. IMO, the best Jamaican patties I've had so far. Their outer pastry is more buttery, less flakey, and not as dry as the frozen yellow patties. And the spicy beef is actually recognizable as beef, also seasoned well! Tried the OG coco bread + patty combination, tbh I'm not a fan. The bread itself is nice, it's just a basic sweet n soft white bun. It's not a bad-tasting combination or anything, I just personally don't find the bun to really add anything of value to the patty. UNLESS, your goal is to bulk up that patty and carb load LOL. In addition to patties, they also sell their own various types of bagged bread. They also have a display case of a few desserts - they had plantain tarts that looked pretty interesting. Allan's is located on Kennedy in the same plaza as Ming's (that Chinese resto that you'll see facing Kennedy). Even on a weekday afternoon this place had a stream of customers coming in and out, thisssss is how you know it's gucci a f here. FYI, there aren't any tables to sit down and eat, it's exclusively grab n go here (just sit in your car and eat and get crumbs all over your seat like me LOL). read more

3.9/5 4.1/5 crust 2.5/5 filling 4/5 service I would give this place solid 4 or even higher stars IF they work on their filling. They have a love child of croissant and jamaican patty like crust. It's not the most traditional style but DEFINITELY an improvement from traditional patties in my opinion. My only complain with crust make my mouth little too oily in not the most pleasant way. Still worth it. Now the real issue with this patty: inconsistent tasting stingy filling. The main reason why I'm still hunting for best patty in town is because this place just can't seem to figure out right filling. My very first time trying Allan's, I fall in love with crust but filling was bland, full of starch and lack of meat. This time, flavour was almost there but still very small amount of filling and full of starch. I understand that most of time these patties are made for snack so you have to stay in certain price point for target clientele. However, it's shame that inconsistent filling is the only thing that's pushing away this patty from gaining best patties in toronto title, and I been traveling all over the place to find a best patties in GTA and tried MANY patties. So I think I know one or two about patties. I tried beef patties, spicy beef patties and goat curry patties. While they are all pretty tasty, I can't help myself going me towards to spicy beef patties. It just have a perfect balance. Service was decent and quick. Filipino ladies at front were quite friendly. Overall, I will definitely recommend this place to others. I just really really hope they make improvement on filling. read more

Stopped by to pick up a couple of patties. I know this place has been here for a long time and I forgot how their patties were. I've tried the curry goat, which is good but not much curry flavour and the mild beef which is good. I like that the patty doesn't have the strong yellow colour, it seems more natural. Overall, definitely a good patty compared to the grocery store ones! read more

Five star pastry, two star filling make for a 3.5 patty eating experience! What We Got: dozen patties, mixed and match, ready to eat. 4 each of goat, vegetarian, and beef. Cocobread with patty inside. What We Liked: pastries are buttery soft crumble in your mouth wonders What We Didn't: filling isn't bad, there's just so little of it! What I'd Try Next: extra filling option for more money, I think. Have to see if it's worth it. Located on the south side of the plaza following google maps. It's a simple place with minimal decor. Walk up to the counter and order! Lines of cocobread on the side along with some drinks but those didn't interest me. read more

My favorite patties. I wish there was a place in the west end of the city. Flaky and tasty. Not as much filling as the old days but worth the consistency. read more

This is THE place to get your Jamaican patties. As far as taste goes the crust is flaky and buttery and the filling is savoury and well seasoned. Now the filling is thin but you have to remember you're only paying $1.80 per patty so it's more of a snack than a meal. Plus they use 100% meat in their patties, no fillers. Carol L. - it does look like you had a bad patty but I'm sure if you would have brought it up to the attention of the staff they would have replaced it with a fresh one. I've never had a bad patty from them but I've always ordered the ones warm from the oven. My favorite ones are the spicy beef and goat. I also buy their individual Appleton Rum Cake and chocolate rum cake. Cakes are oh so moist with just enough sweetness. read more

No doubt, BEST patties in town :) The bakery is hidden away behind Ming's Restaurant on Kennedy Road (near Steeles Avenue). This Jamaican bakery is really as good as it gets :) The quality of their products are always fresh or they are kept frozen, pre-packaged and ready for you to take home! I've been craving curry goat patty for months, and finally I got to enjoy a fresh one yesterday for lunch :D Most satisfying feeling after taking first couple bites into it and I devoured it in seconds hehehe :) The curry has a kick to it, but not too, too spicy... it was just right. Also, I bought a frozen box of curry goat patties to take home. One box contains 12 patties, which cost $11.00 to 11.75 depend on what flavours you order... other choices include beef (mild/spicy), vegetable, and chicken. #worthyourmoney I also got the Mango cake and Chocolate rum cake :D The rum was quite strong *yay* so delish. I'm definitely going back for more goodies next weekend :) read more

I was recently enjoying a meal at Ming's Noodle Cafe when I noticed a sign for Allan's Pastry Shop. The name didn't mean much to me, but my dining companion noted that it was the very same spot where we used to get delicious Jamaican patties at least 20 years ago. I was pretty stoked to see if the patties were as good as I remembered, but given that I'd just eaten a fairly gigantic lunch, I was forced to grab six frozen patties to try later. I wound up getting the Spicy Beef and one bite took me right back. These delectable concoctions are indeed just as tasty and addictive as I'd remembered, with the perfect filling, which contains just the right amount of heat, encased within a top-tier pastry. I definitely can't imagine that it'll be another 20 years before I return to Allan's. read more

The curry Goat patty is delicious! I only get the curry goat patties here so I can not speak for the other patties or foods yet. The Curry Goat has a good kick of spiciness but it's not too hot to handle. It's got great flavour, not too salty. the crust is buttery flaky and smooth, not hard or crispy. I can eat 10 of these. I always get one to go and a box for later (which I always finish within a week!) Can not resist these yummy patties when you know it's sitting in the freezer. baking it for around 15mins and it tastes just like it came right out of the store! read more

Patties..... Nothing divides more people then who has the best Jamaican patties around. Its kinda like who makes the best smart phones, burgers or even cars. Each person has a preference and everyone swears by it. Its pretty much a given though that the GTA has some of the best ones anywhere. One of the big hitters has always been Allan's Pastry Shop. This is the actual factory where the patties are made. The thing that sets them apart from the competition is the shell. The shells by Allan's are more of a pastry shell. Soft layered buttery shells that really stand out from any other patty maker out there. I have friends and family members who will not eat any other patty except Allan's. Allan's also has a good variety of patties as they have regular and spicy beef, chicken, vegetarian and even curry goat which you rarely see. Patties come either individually or in boxes of a dozen, cooked or uncooked. The only weak part of Allan's is that the filling is on the small side and not as filling or as good as my favourite ones Patty Time or Randy's. Allan's also sell a variety of breads and baked goods and on Friday and Saturdays (they close on Sundays) they have items like meat pies and callaloo. So whether I give a 1 star or 5 star it doesn't really matter as Allan's lovers will continue to defend their love of their patty. 4/5! read more

This store has not only Jamaican patties but also pastries. I tried a vegetarian patty and a small crispy tart named "old school gizzarda". The patty shell was flaky and the filling was like a sweet curry. not bad. read more

I made a quick stop to Allan's Pastry Shop on my way home. I wanted to buy the seconds as they had a promotion of buy one get one free, but they ran out. So I ended up ordering 6 spicy beef patties to go and they were only available hot. My "beef" with them is that there is no beef in their patties. When I took a bite, all I tasted was the pastry shell, and then when I finally reached some meat. I was disappointed to see the patty had very little beef filling, it was spread so thin that you can actually see the other side of the pastry. It is literally 2 millimetres thick. It was also dried and tasted like had been sitting in the oven for too long. Maybe, that's the first problem. They have good seasoning, but it wasn't enough to turn my experience around. I've had my fair share of patties around the city and Allan's did not impress me one bit. read more

Recently had a chance to try Randy's patties.. Hard decision because both are good. I'd give the edge to Allan's though, because the friendliness of the staff is unmatched. Awesome food +awesome staff = 5 stars. Lots of variety in this bakery. There are patties, bread, tamarind, fritters, etc. The patties are just.. Heaven. There's spicy beef, mild, chicken and curry goat. Coco bread to go with the patty is even better.. Make sure you put a piece of cheese in it if you're having the Coco bread too. Hardo bread is the best imo. Toasted with butter is.. LEGENDARY! For the men: on Saturdays, you'll be served by a group of beautiful Chinese Jamaican girls ;) (Jan.24/14) Callaloo patties available for a limited time. (Jan.30/14) Callaloo patties now available Fri & Sat ONLY! read more

Came here for Jamaican patties which is what they are known for (as proclaimed here on Yelp). Allan's is located in the same plaza as Ming's Noodle, right down the street from Pacific Mall. For someone who just came back from Jamaica, I found the patties to be average. Yes, the crust was very unique, but I found the dough to be more similar to pies from Chinese bakeries. While fluffy and a little flaky, it did not exhibit the same crispy texture you'd expect from an authentic Jamaican beef patty. Also, the filling was more like a paste with not a lot of real meat. Looked more like gravy if anything. Overall worth trying because of the unique pastry crust (hey, you might be about the fluffier texture vs crispy!). However not a place I would keep going back to when I'm craving authentic Jamaican beef patties. Also, this place is cash only. read more

Allan's Pastry Shop provides a different twist on the Jamaican patty, as they provide a light, flaky shell instead of your usual crispy one. I am a fan of their unique flaky patty bread, and the meat inside isn't bad either. If a patty were to have Allan's soft crust mixed with Patty King's beef filling, that would be one amazing patty. You can order them by the piece or by the dozen, hot or frozen. Definitely worth a try! read more

I finally found the other Allan's! Yessss. I've been going to the Peanut Plaza location for years. My favorite is their curry goat patty, but the others are good too. I decided to forgo the patties this time, opting for a number of their pastries instead. They have a pastry called a gizzarda. I thought it was made with gizzard. I thought that was rather exciting. It looks like some kind of brown, textured filling inside of a tart. It turns out it's actually coconut shreds. Oops. Still got it. I also got a plantain turnover, a pineapple turnover, and a coconut strudel. It cost me $6 total. I had the plantain turnover. It was tasty, but a tad sweet. For reasons unbeknownst to me, the filling inside my plantain turnover was a red/pink color. I have never seen a red/pink plantain. It did taste like plantain/banana though, so that was nice. Here's a tip. If you can go frequently, they sometimes have patty seconds (think slightly defective) for $9/dozen. They're only a few dollars more at regular price, but if you're looking to save a buck, there you go. read more

One of my top cheap eats places for grabbing something quick to go. I usually get combo #1 which consists of a patty, coco bread and a small drink for 3.35$ and I get 2 of those which totals around 7$. Very good value for debateably the best Jamaican patties in Scarborough. My drinks of choice are the coconut water and the peanut punch which complement the meal very well. read more

I really like their crust, it lends towards the flakier and sweeter side which balances the meat nicely. What I didn't like was the lack of filling and spiciness to the patty. read more

Absolutely love Allan's beef patties! The filling is perfectly seasoned and the crust is buttery and flaky. Other than beef patties they also have chicken and goat. They also have cocktail size patties but you have to pre-order them. read more

Allan's Pastry is a hidden gem located in a obscure strip plaza in upper Scarborough. You could drive by the plaza off Kennedy Rd for years and never realize it was there. They serve beef, chicken, goat and vegetarian patties sold for wholesale or individually. I normally get a spicy beef patty on a coco bun with a drink for $2.47 tax included. The patty is almost perfect, it's has a nice light flaky outside pastry and the inside is nicely seasoned, moist and warm inside filling. It's really difficult to get a great patty in that area of Scarborough. They also offers tasty desserts like chocolate, appleton rum cake, gizzardas (Jamaican tarts) and others. They also sell fresh hardo bread made on site. FYI: A lot of Jamaican restaurants/take out restaurants in Toronto get their patties from either Randy's or Allan's Pastry. Operating Hours: Mon - Fri: 9am - 6pm Sat: 8am - 4pm Sun: Closed read more

I dare you to find a better tasting patty in the GTA, it's non-existent. This place has been serving up the freshest, most delicious mouth watering Jamaican patties since I first had the pleasure of trying them 15 years ago! Yup, been coming back for 15 years!! They're that damn good! Honestly, if you're reading this and haven't been, get in your car, navigate yourself here and buy yourself a dozen!! read more

I absolutely love these patties, I can't be for certain but I don't think these have any preservatives, they taste fresh and are super simple to prepare, basically just sticking it in the mini oven for 15 mins. These ones compared to Jamican patty from grocery store is like night and day, no weird preservative taste, no freeze burn making the patty rock hard after heating and the beef taste actually fresh. These are awesome for a quick snack, you can get mild, spicy and veggie. I typically get spicy as it's not really 'that' spicy, just enough. They also have fresh baked bread. Parking is easy with lots of space in a private lot. Tip: Buy the pre-backed frozen packs, as it's easily reheated in the mini oven and comes out crisp. As well both locations are closed on Sunday. read more

CLEARLY superior to Patty King, etc. Allan's are excellent, especially the spicy beef patty (personally, I was underwhelmed by the much-talked-about goat patty) and these patties are tied for the best I have found in T.O. Randy's on Eglinton west edges out Allans for flaky pastry, but Allens inches ahead for flavour of the beef filling, to my tastebuds. NOTE: Hidden INSIDE the tiny mall at the peanut plaza, with no indication outside. Trust me, find the carefully hidden entrance to the mall read more

Five stars because this establishment deserves no less. The patties - MELT IN YOUR MOUTH DELICIOUS. Try the jackass corn biscuits - crispy and gingery with a hint of coconut - YUM. I love this place. Right next to Ming's Noodle Cafe - how convenient for my weekend food indulgences/extravaganzas. Seriously, this place is a gem. The mini rum cakes looked divine - shall purchase on my next visit. Try this place - you will not be disappointed. read more

I've been going to Allan's to get Patties, Hardo Bread, and the Spicy Bun... You can't go wrong with any of these three items... that and just the smell of being inside the bakery is orgasmic in itself. You haven't had grilled cheese until u've made it with Hardo Bread... have a little ketchup on the side and u've got urself a decent fat ass meal. The Spicy Bun is also really good. If you are anything like me then you hate the nasty fruits that come in some other types of bun. This loaf just has a few raisins which I don't mind. Typically I eat the bun with some cold cheese (marble mainly but I'm sure any cheese will do). Only bad thing about Allan's is the location. Hard to get into and leave depending on traffic. Other than that GREAT place! Congrats Allan's Pasty on being TooTuff Approved! read more
