At The Heart Of It All Lies Community.

Pitkin Caribbean Bakery emerged from the ashes of a burnt-out building in a neighborhood concentrated with NYCHA housing in 1981. While others saw nothing, one visionary recognized the potential for a lasting legacy. Initially established as a bakery, the current owner took over in 1999 and expanded the business to include cooked dinner items. Since then, it has become a beloved institution in the Brownsville Community. Our mission is to foster an inclusive environment that consistently delivers a taste of 'home' with strong ties to New York. With our quick-service format, we ensure that you can savor our tantalizing dishes without sacrificing precious time. From mouthwatering jerk chicken to flavorful curries and irresistible pastries from handmade patties, coco bread, and more, each bite is crafted with love and care, reflecting the rich culinary traditions of Jamaica.
