Small storefront, but BIG flavor and value. The place definitely doesn't look like much and doesn't offer any seating, but don't let that deter you from checking them out. The staff manning the counter was super friendly. We ordered a saltfish and callaloo patty, a spicy jerk chicken patty and a meatloaf patty as well as some coco bread. Every single patty was delicious and this was hands down the best coco bread I've ever had - soft and pillowy! The chicken patty had actual shredded chicken - not the usual ground mixture you get - and the flavor was definitively jerk. Let's talk about size: these patties were definitely the largest I've ever seen and were actually stuffed full of filling. We will not be getting patties anywhere else from here on out. Sorry, we were on the run and gobbled everything up before we thought about photos. read more

I was on a business trip and came across Charlie's pastries who is across the street from a well known brand Golden Crust. Still gave them a try. And I wanted to pack 100 patties in my suitcase to return home. read more

The Patty was awful. I will never go back there again. It taste like it had tomato sauce in it. That's not a Jamaican Patty the patties for people who don't know what a Jamaican patty taste like read more

This place has really gone down hill, even the staff seems run down. The "natural juices aren't natural(tang in the orange pineapple and say it's orange juice). All the sweet treats were buried and the bread seemed stale. It's for the yanks at this point. read more

You're still open after all these years. Something must be really good. You must wear a mask. It's very reasonably priced . I got two chicken empanadas and two beef and they're delicious read more

Charlie's Pastries - Beef - Bakeries Near Me - Tamarac, Florida

Delicious!!!! We stopped here for a quick snack and I cannot wait to go back!!!! The beef patties had just the right amount of spices, flavorful, but not at all spicy. The bread had just a touch of sweetness, so good!!! The red velvet cake was one of the best I've ever had!!! If you are looking for an inexpensive lunch that's just delicious, this is your spot!!! read more

The best coco bread I've ever tasted can't come to Ft lauderdale with out stopping in for a patty and bread

I got a beef patty... OMG yummy and they didn't skimp on the beef. Two drinks (they were much too sweet for my liking). But if I go back, I'd add them to a water. I also got the red velvet cake. The cake was beyond delicious. So moist and the frosting... yes gawd. Question is... was rum added to the batter because I swear I tasted it. I'm almost certain.... Next time I'm in the area, I'd definitely come again. read more

I have been on Yelp for years. This is my first negative review. Their parties are good but the customer service is the WORST. Horrible. Third visit there and I have seen the cashier mistreat other customers. Not sure why she has an attitude. She is extremely rude and acts like she's doing the customers a favor. Not recommended due to poor customer service attitude. 3rd visit. Same experience. Will not give them another one of my dollars. Plenty of other small businesses to support who will be grateful for people coming in. read more

I was told that Charlie's Pastries is well-known and well-loved for its Jamaican beef patties; that everyone knew this place as one of the best, especially since it had been there for so long. It was good, but, overall, I wasn't majorly impressed. Charlie's is part of a big shopping plaza, so there's plenty of parking. Inside, the place is pretty shabby. From what I can recall, there wasn't much on the walls and there was a lot of empty "standing space." There's a few coolers to your right with a variety of Jamaican beverages, and a counter with a glass case immediately in front of you. The case houses a variety of cakes and breads. When I visited, there were two ladies staffing the counter. One was working as a cashier and the other was getting customers' orders ready. I wouldn't say they were especially friendly to me, but when I was leaving I was wished a good day with a smile, so they were friendly enough. Initially, I ordered a jerk chicken patty and coco bread, and picked up a lemonade from the freezer (if you have real lemonade, I will always get that). I was then told that there is s $5 minimum for card transactions. Actually, I wasn't really "told," the woman just pointed at the numbers on her screen several times until I figured it out (maybe they weren't so friendly?). So, I ended up ordering a spicy beef patty too. Took everything home and didn't eat it for a few hours. Finally, I sat down to give it a shot. First thing I ripped into was "coco bread." I have no idea why it's called this and I was wary that it'd have some weird coconut/paper texture, but OH-MY-GOD, coco bread is goooooooood. I'm a bread lover to begin with, so this was right up my alley. It's thick and pillowy soft with a slight sweetness to it. Yumyumyum. Then, I bit into the jerk chicken patty. Meh. It was okay. The chicken wasn't evenly distributed and there were some parts with massive chicken pieces and others without. There was no heat either and the crust on the patty was way too thick for my liking. I tore it open and just put the filling on the bread. The spicy beef patty was much, much better. However, the crust was still too thick and I would've liked more heat (I added hot sauce). My friend suggested putting the whole patty inside the coco bread; as he said that's how everyone eats it (I just Googled it...yeah, it's a thing. Excuse my ignorance, Jamaican friends.). I couldn't justify all that crust and all that bread, so I did some half-and-half version of that. It was good, but mostly because...hello, coco bread. Oh, the lemonade was delicious. :) I probably wouldn't go out of my way to visit Charlie's again, especially now that I've done some Googling and learned that basically every Jamaican establishment near me makes coco bread (Why hadn't I ever tried this before?). This place is okay, but definitely not the best. read more

Bad food and awful customer experience. Beef patties are dry and taste like paper. Employees are rude and doesn't care for the customers. read more

Went in this morning for a jerk chicken pattie. I wanted a quick bite before getting on the road. This was my first time at this location and now my last. They didn't have "change" or enough money to accept a $20 bill. Which is fine, but the last was beyond rude. I will never recommend anyone to this location or to a Charlie's pastries. Service is what makes your business, along with great products. This lady never looked or attempted to give change. She was beyond rude, just to tell me there wasn't change. Never again! read more

The original location is on sunrise blv. I love there's tons of flavor in each bite of patty. My fav is spicy beef. It's a small bakery with patties and coco bread. Fresh baked dessert. A taste of Jamaica in local neighborhood. read more

I was there for 4 days....I ate there 6 times. Nuff said! But should I indulge you: The patties are ridiculously flavorful! I've had everything from beef, to chicken, to calaloo and salt fish and even the meatloaf patty. And though I AM NOT a fan of bread (I wrap my burgers in lettuce) I devour the coco bread like it's the last supper, every time! OMG! The most melt in your mouth thing you'll ever taste! And always warm... The only criticism is the line, but indication of its goodness. And damned worth the wait! They move fast though.... So go there! read more

I love, love their patties but hate their service no matter the location. I went here for a quick drink and bite en-route to an appointment and the server was no where to be found. When she did appear it was with an attitude, like really? I made my purchase and high-tailed it out of there vowing never to return know that is a lie. lol read more

Big up to Charlie's! I grew up eating Charlie's. These are the most filling patties Ive ever had in life. The veggie patties are amazing. The crispy, orange crust is so satisfying - I could just eat that! I tried a Callaloo Loaf for the first time. Ive never been a fan of Coco Bread [ducking for cover] I know, I know a Jamaican Pattie and Coco Bread are a match made in heaven but I just cant deal with all of the bread. Anyway, the loaf was pretty tasty and i had nice surprise when I bit a piece of Salt Fish. I thought that pattie smelled a little fishy. All in all it was pretty good. Beware: you will wait in a line that's out the door! If you're in Broward and have quite a few minutes to spend in line, grab your phone, play a game and wait on these patties. Patience is definitely a virtue at Charlie's. read more

According to Jamaicans.com, Charlie's Pastries is in the top 3 best bakery shop serving Jamaican pastries in Broward. I couldn't agree more. I grew up eating Jamaican beef patties and there's nothing satisfying then picking up a soft, chewy pastry pocket filled with a spicy meat filling...mmmmmm... For Miami folks, Jamaican beef patties are the equivalent of the latin empanada but softer, -slightly- less greasier. This barebones location is good for picking up a bunch of patties and going elsewhere to devour them. Just to show you how popular Charlie's Pastries is, it's been distributed by PUBLIX Supermarkets in their stores since they are such a popular local item here. You can get them there too in your local deli/bakery aisle but it's much tastier fresh at their pastry shops.

Charlie's Pastries - Veggie patties - Bakeries Near Me - Tamarac, Florida

Went here looking for meat patties, which as a lover of savory pies is amongst the best things ever. The meat patties ate Charlie's are ok, the crust is a bit to thick for my liking. Their meatloaf, which I have not eaten before is like a double sized pattie, not as spicy and is extremely good. I recommend getting a piece of cocoa bread, a meatloaf and a drink and you are good for lunch for under $5. read more

Yummiest Jamaican patties I've had in a long time! Stopped in today after some shopping. The staff was friendly and helped us pick out some things to try. We had the mild beef, the spicy jerk chicken and the veggie and all three were delicious! Will definitely be going back in! Next we've got to try the super thick, yummy looking slices of banana bread! read more

Top notch patties! I have been to many patty spots in south FL and this is easily in the top 3 #1 coco bread. It's like they took it out of the oven just for me. Super soft and fresh. And hot! Beef patty isn't overly spicy but has a bite. Love me some Charlie's! read more

Highly recommend. The patties taste fresh and warm. Excellent and inexpensive. Fast service. A+

Cashier seems to have something stuck up her ass!! Like she was doing me a favor by getting my patties. The patty was good, but that lady needs Jesus!!! read more

Disappointed. I was looking forward to having a Jamaican beef patty and was disappointed in the taste of the meat. It had lots of curry flavor which was not what I was expecting. Too much curry in the meat. read more

If I cold give less stars I would. I walked into an empty store. They attendant walk talking a man that was apparently visiting. She continued to look am me until I had to ask for assistance. The. She served me as though I was interrupting her, rolling her eyes as she reluctantly served me. This is the reason it's sometimes hard to support "our" businesses. Not good Charlie's, not good at all. read more

I drove all the way from Palm beach for a beef patty and a piece of red velvet cake. When i get home an hour later, this is what I get.... molded cake. I drove an hour for this. read more

Charlie's Pastries - Do better. I didn't pay for mold. - Bakeries Near Me - Tamarac, Florida

These patties are seriously FRESH! The shell of the patty is perfectly flakey and the inside is always tasty and hot. I usually get the jerk chicken patties and yes, they are filling and delicious. They have the right amount of spice, making them very enjoyable. (If you're the type of person who is SUPER sensitive to spicy things, you will find them spicy). I have never been a fan of cocoa bread because I find the breading on the patty is already enough, plus, they tend to be too thick and doughy. BUT these cocoa breads are super soft and fresh. I can eat it by itself. Most of the patties are under 2 bucks, so if your looking for something cheap and satisfying (rare), it's a good pick. They have a small inside; no where to sit down. It's just a pick up hub. They do take credit cards, but it's a 5 dollar minimum. They also offer desserts, lots of native Carribbean-esque beverages and standard sodas as well. I've had the red velvet cake from there, and it was pretty good. Sometimes I'm in and out within a minute, literally. Then there are times I go in and will have to wait a couple minutes for fresh patties. I never mind that though. The lady behind the counter tells me when I have to wait and comes back to tell me when it's almost done. I will certainly keep coming back! read more

I love Charlie's patties ... Hands down. I love the crust and the patty filling. Compared to other JA bakeries... This is my favorite personally. I been to both locations and they are both great (the one on 441 and sunrise). Just discovered this one and they don't disappoint. read more

Best Jamaican patties I have ever had! Love the spicy chicken, spicy beef and the curry. They have lunch specials with the sweet bread, it's too much for me to add the sweet bread, but I get why everyone orders it like that. Very small place, no sitting. Just grab and go. Try to watch which ones just came out of the oven and just go with those. Best you will ever have and so fresh! read more

If you like Jamaican beef patties this is the Mecca.... Super fresh and best beef patti hands down. They also make a bread with raisins in it and that is great as well. Staff is friendly and the place is clean read more

This place has amazing authentic veggie patties. Saw all the hype on the reviews and decide to stop by. This is a place for a grab and go lunch or snack. They have a couple different filling choices and they are all great I had the veggie patty, spicy beef patty and they were both crisp flake and succulent inside. Tastes amazing and very fresh. Highly recommend to locals and tourist for some Jamaican fare. read more

Great patties! Got curry chicken, jerk chicken, beef mild and spicy and were all amazingly delicious! Great size! Very filling! Definitely a must if you want a good Jamaican patty! Worth the drive if you're not in the area! read more

I've been going here since I was a little girl. The patties are always hot and fresh! Not to mention the soft coco bread. Definitely one of my favorites! read more

We are originally from the area but now live in Tampa and we always stop when we are in town. We end up purchasing 2 dozen to take home (they freeze incredibly well) and eating 1 or 2 beef patties right then. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. These are the absolute best beef patties in the state of Florida. read more

Tastless patty- prefer golden krust. Also cashier was emotionless with no personality. Wheres that jamaican spirit!!

I'm Writing just to warn future customers of this particular Charlie's to be careful what you go in there with because if you should leave it you might never see it again. Well here's what happened to me, I went in to buy some patties while i was there i used my cell phone to call home went up to the counter to pay and sat my phone down reaching for change in my purse in my hurry left my phone on the counter and that was the last time seeing my phone. Yeah I'm sure someone there took it and I know who it is!!! I'm a 100% sure... read more
