Get a load of these perfectly flaky patties, with meat oozing out ready for you to take a bite! Whether you like the classic spicy beef, or want to explore other flavours such as jerk pork or jerk chicken, this summer might be the time to give it a try!
Patty Time Bakery
Location: 2919 Lawrence Ave. E.
Many locals will argue that this is one of the best patty spots in the city, located east of the city in Scarborough. With the golden outer crust being made to perfection, holding the saucy diced beef and a kick of spice that’s not overbearingly hot, there’s no better flavour! If you’re not into beef, check out their chicken patties which are just as delicious.
