Caribbean Bakery & Mini Mart

I stopped by Caribbean Bakery & Mini Mart for dinner and went straight for their oxtail with rice & peas and veggies. The plate was huge, and you could smell the seasoning before it even hit the table. The oxtail was flavorful, tender, and coated in a rich sauce that really pulled the dish together. The rice was fluffy, the peas earthy, and everything had that authentic homemade Caribbean taste. If I had one wish, it would be for the oxtail pieces to be a little meatier — because the flavor had me wanting more. Portion-wise though, they don’t skimp, and everything tasted fresh. Service was straightforward, the spot has that local charm, and it’s definitely worth checking out if you’re craving real Caribbean flavor in the area. One heads-up: parking can be tough, especially earlier in the

First time going here today, had to drop off someone for a doctors appointment and wanted some good Jamaican food. Upon walking in was met with kind, friendly hospitality from the owners. Order jerk, chicken, rice and peas and cocoa bread and a patty and everything tasted fresh like it was made five minutes before. Taken to account this was 4 PM! This place is 10 out of 10 will be back very soon. Thank you!

This place has excellent food but I wish I could say the same about the service. The woman that served me couldn't stay focused for the 2-3 minutes it takes to prepare my order correctly and wound up messing up my order. She was engaging in conversations with customers and staff instead of just making my order and of course she wasn't paying attention and gave me something I didn't ask for. It already took her long enough to make my order I just paid without complaining and left. I'm just in shock that she thought it was OK to treat a customer like that.

The lady who helped me was super polite and patient, and even offered me a sample—which you don’t usually get in restaurants. The soup was delicious, with a generous portion for the price and full of flavor. If you ever find yourself in Stamford, CT looking for authentic Jamaican food, this is definitely the spot. Great food, fair portions, and warm service. Highly recommend—check it out!

Please excuse the photo as I started eating it before taking the picture. Long story short, I like this. I ordered fried wings, rice n peas, and cabbage. Food is on point. Perfect amount of spices. Wings are juicy. Service was the best. Thank you to both women behind the counter for their service
