    Scott's Jamaican Bakery
    Cal L.

    Nothing like meat patties and cocoa bread on a hot summer day I have been going here for years and am thrilled every time. Great staff , wonder choices of different heats & meats in the patties. The staff is great & will take the time to explain the choices to you if needed.

    Chicken patty and coco bread
    Sho R.

    I went there thinking this is a Jamaican restaurant. But this is a Jamaican bakery. So no jerk chicken or goat curry. They have excellent coco bread. Beef patty with coco bread is the best thing here. Chicken patty is good as well. Carrot juice was an excellent drink. Irish moss was a bit bitter. Milk Hardo bread is a nice soft bread, but it is really dense. Coconut drops was pieces of coconut in brown sugar and ginger. Spice bun and jamaican black cake was good as well.

    I love fresh bakery food. Especially when it's authentic! I have been going to Scott's for the past 20 years! I love this bakery. Some of the same employees still work at there as well. If you're in the mode for a quick meal under $10.00 then this is the perfect location. There is also an option to purchase the freezer patties as well.

    I honestly wasn't expecting the food to be as good as it was because, i'm very picky when it comes to Jamaican food. The beef patty with coco bread was incredibly fresh. You can tell it was made same day. The coco bread was so chewy and smelt incredibly sweet. It paired perfectly with the flakey beef patty. I also got the jerk chicken meal. It comes with a choice of rice and peas or white rice. Then cabbage. The rice was made perfectly and you could taste the coconut milk. The jerk chicken wasn't scotch bonnet spicy but it was still super flavorful. I appreciated that the chicken wasn't dry at all. Cabbage can usually be over cooked and soggy but this one was crispy and paired great with the meal. If you get the jerk sauce on the side it has tons of flavor, but everything was perfect as is! I'll definitely be ordering there more often when I need my Jamaican food fix.

    Delicious, such a staple in Hartford. It is our go to place to get a beef patty. This place is history, art, and great food. Please check it out.

    The Beef Patties and the Coco Bites are just fantastic. You can tell this is all made from scratch. Super fresh! The patties don't leave crumbs all over you. That's how you know it's fresh. The coco bites mmmmm. It was with the 1.5 hour car ride. They also sell the patties frozen. So you can take them home.

    As an officer at one of our local airports I have done many bag checks. My favorite ones however are the ones where I get a sniff of Scott's bread. I know that smell so well, that before I even open the bag based on what I am seeing on the screen and my experience, I ask the passenger if they have Scott's bread? and suddenly you hear hysterical laughter in the checkpoint. So I made it a point to stop in at the bakery and see if it is as great as it smells. I didn't come in here like a typical white girl with a finger pointing to one item. I came in and spoke to every person in line asking questions what to order and who likes what. We the customers were all chatting, one lady told me the milk bread is their staple. Another guy in line said get the beef or chicken patty but you must put it inside the bread to eat it he said. Woman behind me said get rum cake and carrot juice, but I also love cinnamon bun. I bought all of those things for just $20. I left this bakery so happy because everybody was so welcoming and kind. As soon as I got into my car I placed my Patty inside the bread and took a bite. I found myself in heaven, Scott's heaven that is. So well seasoned, with just the right amount of spicy, and not dry like I thought it would be. On my way home I stoped at BestBuy in Avon to buy a new TV and told the man helping me. While he was loading my TV in I took my milk bread and asked him to take a good size piece. He said I never broke bread with a customer. See there is always a first. I am on my way home and I cannot wait to cut into the milk and cinnamon bread. In my head I'm already planning my next visit, as I need more patties in my life. You guys have some great Goods!

    Veggie patty (spiced up cabbage )

    I was in Jamaica this past Christmas and wow Scott's Jamaican Bakery makes beef patties that were as good as those found in Jamaica. They taste very similar to the ones I had in Jamaica but not as spicy. Scott's delivers their patties to many of the other bakeries in town (per my co-worker). If you never had one of their beef patties you should give them a try. Be prepared for some grease to soak through but its so worth it. It's cheap fast food but very tasty. I'm not a fan of beef but the veggie patties just aren't perfect. I occasionally order a veggie but find that its not the same and end up eating my BF's beef patties. I work in the North End so the neighborhood doesn't bother me too much. They have a lot by the bakery. It's a quick in and out. I If you're scared to venture into the neighborhood head there during the day. The staff was friendly and each time I've been in I've never feared for my life. This location does run out fast. I find sometimes if you go there a little later they start running out of food. I save Scott's for my broke and tired without a lunch days. For under $3 you can get a meal that will hold you. If you have spare change, might as well grab some ginger beer. Cash only.

    Amazing customer service. Jamaican Bakery sells delicious food at budget-friendly prices. The only downside to this establishment is the rough location.

    "Well, I did not think the girl could be so cruel And I'm…read morenever going back to my old school" (Steely Dan) Old School and classic- that's the vibe Emrey's does so well. They are a "vintage-chic soda bar" with definite nostalgic vibes from the 1950's, or even earlier. Want an old-fashioned ice cream soda, milkshake, soda floats, ice cream sundae, banana split, or maybe a boozy ice cream or coffee drink? Well, belly up to their long soda counter, hop on a bar stool, and let your inner Fonzie go wild. You'll love their pastel pink, black and white color scheme, and you'll sure love their charm and hospitality. You won't see a zillion ice cream flavors on the menu, just the most basic varieties beyond vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. We ordered two Malt Frappes ($11 each), one Classic Vanilla and one Pistachio. They both came with whipped cream and a cherry, and my Pistachio was garnished with pistachio pieces in the frappe and atop the whipped cream. They were excellent, cold, thick, refreshing, frozen comfort food at its best and oh so nostalgic. Reminded me of the shakes we used to get t Howard Johnson's a lifetime ago. And the portions were pretty big, our server Gwen poured whatever wouldn't fit into our glasses into a plastic cup for us. Definitely worth a stop on your next visit to downtown Hartford.

The shop has such a fun, vibrant vibe. Between the colorful graffiti artwork, décor, and playful atmosphere, the atmosphere instantly puts you in a good mood. We tried their award-winning Gram Jam, and I completely understand why it's one of their signature flavors. It was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. I also tried a plain vanilla ice cream topped with Lucky Charms. There were lots of toppings to choose, from crushed Oreos, cookie dough, brownie bites, Reese's Pieces, sprinkles, hot fudge, caramel, whipped cream, fresh fruit, and cherries...making it fun to customize whatever you're craving. The staff were friendly and the shop was clean. Between the creative flavors, quality ice cream, and unique atmosphere, I'd definitely recommend too.

    At the recommendation of my CM when we leaving a Yelp Event, I decided to walk over to Capital Ice…read moreCream from the Peruvian Bar on Main Street. Yeah... you read that right. Just a 0.6-mile walk, nbd, right? :D But on the way there I did get to see where the State Capitol was since I walked right by it. Yeah, there's a reason it's called "Capitol Street". I also didn't realize I would be walking into Frog Hollow, so that was cool, I guess. But the visit was worth the walk. The intent of coming here was so that my liver could oxidize the drinks I had earlier. Additionally, the ice cream did make me thankful the walk was longer than I had intended it to be even though I don't really know Hartford pretty much at all. I did have a sneaking suspicion I had had this before, so I looked back at my old reviews. Lo and behold, I DID have Capital Ice Cream before at the Hartford Taste Festival when I went last year and tried their Hartford Dough Down. In fact, it was one of the places I had remarked I most wanted to give an in-earnest visit to when I talked about it in that review. Because of this, I have now gone to a place in-person after first visiting their stand at a festival (I still need to do that for Sandra's Next Generation one fine day since I had their festival food the day before the historic flood of 2024). This time around I got to see a little of what the interior of the place looked like. You can find some interesting fact about Connecticut while you're there. I didn't get to take too many photos of that, but I at least got to snap myself some lore about Hartford. Apparently it's one of this nation's oldest cities, being founded in 1635. Cool stuff! I'd love to come back even if only for the lovely history. They have an outdoor area you can have your ice cream in, and an area where you can go downstairs to eat I believe. It's a bit cramped when trying to order, so something to keep in mind. Thankfully the service is great, quick and efficient. This time I nabbed myself a large key lime pie milkshake, and I HAD to go with The Force! I may not come from a galaxy far, far away, but I needed some Force goddammit! Originally I was going order the Charter Oak until I'd realized there was key lime pie ice cream and I couldn't say no to key lime pie. The Force is a chocolate ice cream with Oreo's mixed in and whipped cream on top as well as confectionery sugar. Overall, it's a definitely a great stop for ice cream lovers who want to do a CT Ice Cream Tour. I'll even go so far as to say it is a great ice cream to have when walking by the State Capitol. While I am more partial to having ice cream at harbors and sea shores (think having the ice cream on a dock while my feet dangle over the water), ice cream by a major government building is still a very beautiful thought. Of the two things I had, I would definitely say I preferred the milkshake over the sundae. I think on summer days key lime pie ice cream is more refreshing overall. But both things were very good. For hot days, this is an outstanding choice! If you're someone who loves to learn some new history, definitely come here. If you like having ice cream walking by a state capitol, this is definitely the place for you. This might not be my number-one place to have ice cream, but I definitely think this was a tasty treat that I'd be more than happy to visit again in Hartford.
