Immaculee Bakery II

I love their chicken patties the lady who works at the location with the restaurant isn’t very friendly but the other shop, total love!

Disgusting service. You’re running a business. Run Runa business. But for someone who works hard for their money to walk in and you crack a fat joke. That is not cool. Run your business with tact and class. I am highly insulted of the treatment I received when I walked into this establishment and will NEVER spend my money in any of the locations for myself or anyone else.

Every Haitian person has their favorite bakery to go for pâté (please dont call these patty/​patties as these have nothing to do with Jamaican patties. Just cause there is meat surrounded by a starch doesnt mean its the same. Chinese have roast pork buns but aint nobody calling these pastries Haitian pork buns… but I digress). As you can see we get very passionate about our pâté. At a Haitian get together people can get very outspoken about the key qualities of perfect pâté as well as which bakery gets the title of maker of the perfect pâté. That being said Im pretty picky about my pâté. And I have been on the search for the perfect pâté since moving to NYC more than 8 years ago.
These are good Haitian pates. I have been going here at least 5 years. These are not the best I have ever had in a lifetime of eating pates. But if you want a consistent and reliable treat this is a great place to go.
The standout here is the flaky crust in all its buttery flaky goodness. The reason that the pâté doesnt get higher rating from me is I think the dough to meat ratio is too high. That is too much puff pastry for the amount of meat.
The meat is always well seasoned with a tiny kick from hot pepper. I always order the beef pâté or the codfish as I find the chicken underwhelming.
The staff are nice. And the value of bakery items and food is amazing. Dont forget to order food too.
Also pretty good Haitian food on a steam table: grillot (fried pork chunks), dende/​poulet en sauce (turkey or chicken in sauce), riz ak pois (rice and beans), riz djon djon (special black mushroom rice), bananes pessees (plaintains), legumes (both the simple kind with carrots and cabbage as well as the kind thats a mix of meat with eggplant, chayote or other vegetables) are all great. If you like spice ask for pikliz which is pickled cabbage, carrots and habanero or other pepper to add an extra kick to your yummy meal. Whats on the menu changes daily so check in — not everything is available everyday but be prepared for a tasty surprise.

I was with a friend who wanted Haitian food which I am not a huge fan of but I am flexible. We stopped here late one evening for some food to go and the décor wasnt the best. They had a few chairs but I really couldnt envision anyone actually sitting down to eat. The food was behind a glass cover in a buffet style like setting. I tried just about everything they had for $ 10 except the fish. I had the sausages, rice and beans, chicken, plantains and pork and everything was delicious. They have this spicy cabbage like sauce that really made the food pop. I was sleeping on the Haitian food and would definitely return and check out some other Haitian spot. Sa pa se. :-)

This place snapped!
Walking in last week for my occasional chicken patty was like walking into a completely different restaurant. More of everything: tables and chairs, workers, customers, and — most importantly — whole entrees of hot food!
You can get a heaping of Haitian staples for $ 8. Rice, beans, stews/​sauces, fried meats, sausages, fried plantains, salad, and spiced/​pickled cabbage. There are also other bakery items and drinks. Service is somewhat slow for a place where the food is ready and not made to order.
All in all, this is a great addition to the hood. As the second location, Immaculee knows what it’s doing. Kennedy’s next door definitely has some competition.
