If you love a good Haitian flaky pattie then come here. the patties are only 1 dollar ( say it with french/Haitian accent) . Patties come in chicken, herring, cod and beef. They also had a spinach ones. Worth the dollar and buying several of them!
Man I love a family business.
I've been going to La Bauette since they opened their first spot near my old hood not so far away on Nostrand near Empire.
This spot has the same layout, but maybe a bit smaller. Same good food…if you get there in time!
Being a bakery and a Haitian one at that, you'll get a french style flaky patty, not like the Irish inspired Jamaican patties in the rest of the hood. The centers are filled with either beef, saltfish, herring (smelly) or my favorite, spinach.
When they have the spinach patties (which sometimes they don't and I want to cry) I get 3 of them. I also splurge and get the Limeade because…I like limes. The juice is always fresh and locally manufactured. I love coming here because…well, I come here a lot. It's right by the bus and a great thing to get before yoga. They aren't open super late, and I usually find that if I do catch them after 3 or so, they don't have any patties I'd eat.
On holy days, like Easter, they might only make fish patties, just be warned! Oh, and the patties are a dollar!! One buck!!! Get a baker's dozen for 12!!!
I am making this review short and sweet… And that's kind of what this bakery is, it's small and sweet. It's a no frills kind of place don't come in here expecting to have the carpet laid out for you. Everything is simple but delicious…
The Haitian patties here will absolutely change your life. Wow… Excuse me while I collect my thoughts. Okay… Let's try to put in words the level of delicious these things are carrying. The first bite is a layer of a flakey buttery crust… It's almost like a pastry, then the next layer is a soft moist dough, then you get to the core this is where the magic happens… Depending on what flavor you get! I have tried them all and the chicken is my favorite.
The chicken filling is a well seasoned and to me it compliments the delicate pastry the best! It's such a great contrast to the buttery crust. Other flavors include cod, spinach, and herring. If you venture into this part of Brooklyn you absolutely have to have one of these treats.
Here's a tip… Make sure you eat it directly in the bag. You don't want to miss any of the flakes of the crust that fall off! I personally just stick my head in the bag and go for it! Don't judge me!
Not a big fan of their patties, but the other baked goods are pretty good. Clean space.
