Taste the Island Bakery & Restaurant

First time that I go in myself to get food. My ex used to get food from here all the time . ALWAYS DELICIOUS. & I’ve tried many places in Long Island. This one hands down the best. I went a little late last night . I think I was given an extra patty . Mesi! 🥰❤️🫶🏽

It brings out a very tasty combination even the shallots brings another twist to the enjoyable food experience. It may be far, but I will definitely come back. I hope they will soon deliver in my area. 🤭

The BEST griot hands down. Perfect exterior crisp with tender interior. Given that it’s takeout only, I would recommend that you consume the griot immediately if not inside then in your car, on the bus or whatever but don’t wait to take it home! I was making a request, but the person helping me seem to be annoyed or frustrated, but then I switched to my subpar French, and it changed the whole vibe as he could see I was really interested in trying the authentic products and learning a bit more about them in frenchlish. Though a few times she did speak English. He spoke quite well. I can empathize as anyone who learns more than one language can relate sometimes we’re better at understanding than speaking or vice versa. I’m not sure about the other dishes as this was my first visit. There is
