Pi Bon Pate Bakery

When I was a kid I would wake up and have the best treat, a Haitian pâté. It is a flaky piece of goodness. Unlike the Jamaican patty, the Haitian patty has a higher concentration placed on the pastry versus the meat. The meat would be either salted cod (mori) beef or chicken. Pi Bön Pâté has filled my void with its wide assortment of bake goods. The quaint building sits strangely removed on the corner. Inside it looks like as if you’re about to pay a parking ticket. Tucked on the side there is bar seats facing Garden State Parkway awesome view. That is if your into looking at the GSP. At another glance you will see all the baked delights. I began to speak Creole to the women behind the glass, she looked at me perplexed. She responded to me in English. Maybe my Creole is that bad! Biscuit.
I remember when I was younger this place was called «BON PATE» I guess it got better moved locations in 1998 and now its PI BON PATE. To all my Jersey folks who don’t feel like trekking to Brooklyn to get their Haitian goodies fix come here. Biscuit Sec, Bön Amidon, Bouillon and Soups, Bön Bön Amidon, Bouillon and Soups, Douces and Tablettes, are all served here there in process of opening their baker for lunch and dinner.
All you need to know it’s tasty and you probably have not had these patties hit your taste buds yet. Most non-​Haitians believe the food is very spicy. Correction, it is mildly spicy usually the spice is added on the side. Be a daredevil and go for it.
