Devon House Bakery
A long-established bakery in the courtyard of the national heritage site Devon House. Lobster and curried mutton patties are must-tries for visitors.
The bakery is in the historic courtyard of Devon House at 26 Hope Road, and the courtyard is free to visit. Its signature is golden, flaky Jamaican patties with fillings of lobster, curried mutton, beef, chicken and shrimp, served with a house-made lemonade. Next door, in the same grounds, is the Devon House I Scream ice cream shop, whose Devon Stout flavor is popular. Lunchtime lines are long, and they're often for the ice cream shop next door, so arrive before noon. Prices are affordable, and you can buy patties and eat them under the trees in the courtyard. About 5 minutes by taxi from New Kingston.
Opening hours
Daily about 10:00–21:30/22:00 (may close earlier on Sundays)
