Sybil’s Bakery & Roti Cafe

Excellent mom & pop spot… great customer service and the food is flavorful and non greasy. This is Caribbean «Soul Food» as far as Im concerned.

Love coming here when im in town, the oxtail is what I usually salivate over ! The homemade patties are also high on my list.

The buss up roti was great as was the pone. The pone was a little more creamy than I expected but still delicious. Very good food at affordable prices. Definitely coming back here

Solid mom & pop place serving dynamite Caribbean food. Consistent every time I come no matter what I order. Always hot, fresh and tastes right out of a home kitchen. It’s a family affair and it shows on how the staff always takes care of you. Fresh pressed juices are great as well. If you’re in the area and haven’t been here, make it a point to stop by you won’t be disappointed.

First time trying Sybil’s.
I am Jamaican and I enjoy a good patty or Roti. I tasted the Curry Chicken Roti because the stew chicken was not ready and had my first Guinness patty instead of the usual Jamaican patty.
In all honesty I didn’t get to eat the Roti while it was hot but it was still very good. The Patty was like a mini beef pot pie and was delicious.
A very good experience and I will try it again with the stew chicken and regular patty for a final verdict.

good stuff. Jamaican patties, spinach, mac n cheese, chicken ‘roti, guyaness patties. all very good! good service too.

Love this hidden treasure. I’m all about trying different things. My favorite is the rice with everything cooked in it. Still can’t remember what it’s called (Just watch out for the bone pieces) Everything taste authentic nothing taste like its out of a box. Love to go back to learn more about this food/​culture

Just like Sybils in NY. They’re fried fish sandwich is the best! Spend $ 40 and get a free bakery item!

Love the Guyana plait bread, salara, cheese rolls, and tennis rolls! I’ve also ordered some of their hot food which has been very good. The service is always friendly.

Great West Indian cuisine. Come here very often. They’re beef patties are great. The pastries very tasty. Overall great place If your looking for some Caribbean flavor. Always good service.

This place rocks! I had a friend that kept talking about it and had just went the night before. He was craving one of their juices. I was totally amazed when I walked it! They were so friendly. Doors where closed and they opened up. Had an Itol Jockey. It was so yummy and different. Their juices were all different then I have seen before. They have some listed by remedy like if your stressed or sick or have pms. They aim to please. Will defiantly be stopping in frequently. They got some yummy food too!

I live down south but happened to be up in this area so I wanted to try this place because I’ve seen good reviews about it. They have authentic guyanese food. I only tried a few things, but they were delicious. Whenever I’m in the area, I will definitely go back.

I was feeling a little homesick (Jamaican) and wanted to get some Jamaican food for myself and the office staff. We were across the street from Donna’s but as the food there is bland and tasteless and service unfriendly, someone suggested this place instead. I checked it out and was pleasantly surprised. The food was good, service was great and the place was clean. I had to wait a little but that was because the Jamaican patties were just finishing up in the oven and I wanted them hot. The only complaint I have is that they need a better box for the patties as mine almost came apart in the parking lot.
If you are looking for good Caribbean food, leave those overhyped underwhelming places alone and check out this place. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Best west indian bakery in South Florida… I live in west palm and I would travel the distance for there saltfish and bake… so friendly and always delightful … there is a great selection of fresh homemade food and baked goods. If your looking to satisfy your island taste buds definitely check this place out Drew and Andre will hook you up make sure you mention that Mia Mia p sent you: p

The patties were quite good. They offer chicken and beef in the traditional Jamaican style patty as well as a Guyanese style patty. The Jamaican patties are what you see at the grocery stores and places like Golden Crust, and the Guyanese patties are more like a pot pie style. The Jamaican patties were chicken and beef and the Guyanese was beef (they were out of chicken when we got there). The Jamaican chicken was medium heat wise and the beef was mild. The chicken was ground up to more of a texture of ground beef and with all the spices it was mixed with, it was hard to tell the difference between the chicken and beef just from the color of the meat. I definitely preferred the spicier chicken patty though. It’s a type of heat that does gang up on you as you continue to eat, so if you’re sensitive to spicy food, the chicken might not be as great a choice. The Guyanese patty had great flavor (mild) and the ground beef was more the texture of regular ground beef.
I also got the noodle dessert, it pretty much resembles a kugel. I think that this noodle dessert was more moist than the kugel desserts I’ve had and I actually preferred this one! I can’t wait to go back to try the roti and other island food!

Roti and patties.
The roti was a pleasant surprise since I have not encountered it since I taught in the USVI years ago. Sybil’s makes it as authentic and tasty as I remembered it.
I had the curry beef which was served in a small aluminum container with the chick pea «tortilla» wrapped up separately (to keep the «tortilla» from getting soggy while I took it home). Loved the curry heat.
The patties were chicken and beef. There was Jamaican patties and Guyanese patties. One of them looked like the empanadas I am familiar with. The other looked like a small «chicken pot pie». The «pot pie» did not have the spicy zest of the flat «empanada-​like» patties. So, naturally my favorite was the flat one with the obvious curry flare.
They also have a wonderful desert that is made from noodles baked like a kugel. It has cherries and a bit of a custard texture. It is sweeter than a custard with the cherries taking «center stage» when you encounter one.
Speaking of custard, Sybil’s does bakes those, too. It is a classic custard and moderately sweet. It does not have the caramel sauce which holds down on the sugar content.
The servers are very courteous and informative… and patient. So, feel free to ask questions and experiment with the dishes. I will be going back to make some additional discoveries in the glass fronted counters. From the aromas, I don’t think it is possible to make a bad choice.

I’ve ate at their Richmond Hill location all my life, literally grew up eating there. I was so happy to see the location in FL open. Everything there is awesome! Close your eyes, pick something, and be ready to enjoy some amazing Guyanese food!

Tonight was adventure night. We haven’t had one in a while and were looking for something inexpensive, close and tasty. Not an easy order. We see this little «hole in the wall» every time we go to the Oriental Mart next door. They didn’t have a lot of reviews, but the ones that were there looked good. So, off we went.
As soon as we got out of the car, we could smell the sweet odor of curry wafting through the air. Yum, my mouth was already watering.
We went in and found that it was just as tiny as it looked like it was going to be. It was also hot, it don’t know if there was any A/​C at all. There was one room, no tables but one bar against the wall, and two barstools. If you’re eating in, that’s it for seating. There was happy Caribbean music playing in the background.
There were several cases holding the food and drink selections. Some of the food we could identify, but not many. We closely checked the menu and everything sounded good… except the goat, goat never sounds good. I decided on the curry chicken roti. He asked if I wanted it wrapped or separate, I told him that I’d prefer to have it wrapped. He told me that it could be a problem as the chicken had bones. Okay, why ask, LOL? So I got them separately. He asked if I wanted plain roti or seasoned and filled with chickpeas. Being an adventure, I went with the filled.
It took a while to fill the orders, but we got them and hurried home. I’m glad it wasn’t far because the smell was making me crazy. I started to grab the foil wrapped roti out of the bag and they were HOT! I dropped it and tried again, finally managing to get it onto the table without getting burned. The gravy from my chicken had seeped onto the other things in the bag, but the were well wrapped, so it wasn’t a big deal.
Time to dig in… From the first bite, I knew I was in Caribbean heaven. The aromatic chicken was falling off the bone tender and permeated with island flavor. There was just a mild spicy heat. The roti, which was still blazing hot, even after I unrolled it, was huge! It was filled with dry, finally chopped chickpeas, which sprinkled out everywhere as I tried to eat it. I just tore it into chunks and slathered into the thick gravy surrounding the meat.
Yes, it would have been a problem if it had been wrapped. There were two legs and a back. I’ll admit, I was disappointed that the third piece had almost no meat.
I also opted for the custard for dessert, which was the proper consistency, nicely chilled and flavorful with a slight hint of almond and nutmeg. It was very nice.
All in all, it was delicious and we’ll be going back to try some of the other options. I’d like to know what ALL those things in the bakery case were. :)

I’ve been here a couple times before but just now reviewing it. Came here around 9:30pm on a Friday night and although they closed soon, they were still happy to serve. I got a chicken roti (be warned, it’s boned, not sure if there’s a boneless option) and a small container of smoked herring (spicy and fried in peppers and onions?). I got the peppa sauce on the side along with the roti skin. The roti skin itself wasn’t as layered or flaky as I’ve had it before, but it wasn’t too big of an issue for me. The curry itself was good with the right amount of heat and spice notes (?). I’d wish for smaller chunks of potatoes and chicken though.
They make their own mauby and sorrel, and there’s plenty of other Guyanese dishes and treats like pepper pot, cookup rice, butter flaps, currants roll, etc. I haven’t been to the famous original location in NY, but I’d wager this is a welcome and great branch down here.

Floating around Orlando’s Caribbean community my eyes kept getting shifting to Sybil’s logo on many flyers. Being a curious eater, I a did a little digging and found that this bakery was all the rave in Richmond Hill, Queens, New York. To my sweet tooth delight, I found out that there is a location in Fort Lauderdale. Road trip! Well, I was heading farther down the road to South Beach but a little pit stop was well worth the detour.
Sybil’s occupy a small storefront in the Lauderhill neighborhood on University Dr. Driving towards this area from the turnpike exit it is clear that there are many different nationalities present. Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Haitian, and West Indian restaurants all co-​exist within a couple miles from each other.

The store itself is a full service on site West Indian Bakery. It appears family run with the distinguished gentleman heading the bakery operations. Popular Caribbean pastries such as pine tarts, black eyes, cheese rolls; red and plait bread graces the nostrils. Sweets and local brewed drinks are highly recommended. There is a hot food area served cafeteria style. Although there are a couple of tables and chairs, it looks more like take out is the preference. On my visit Radio Guyana International with DJ Third Degree was broadcasting LIVE. Nothing like a full blast of Caribbean music to beckon the crowd. I wonder if there is ever a full blown parking lot Carnival here?
Upon consulting with a kind lady in the line. Gotta love West Indians, they love to show off their food. I decided on a few items.
Fish Cake — freshly made with white fish. The crust was ever so delicate and crunchy. If you are not Caribbean hot friendly, do not attempt to taste that Tamarind Sauce on the side. Fire!
Mittai — this is fried flaky dough covered with a sugar syrup that clings to the dough. It is soft inside yet crunchy on the outside.
Red Bread or Solara — I am told, depends on the country this has different names. Solara is the Trinidadian name. The red is food colored coconut rolled tender bread dough. This bread was a little on the dry side for me.
Black Eye or Chinese Bean Cake — Here again the name takes to different countries. The middle is a black bean paste with the consistency of mashed beans, while the crust is chewy and soft. I have had this item from Asian supermarkets where the crust is crumbly. I kind of like this version. No mess while driving.
Pine Tarts — The filling is as the name suggest pineapple, while the crust is chewy and soft. Being a pineapple lover I am really digging this mon.
Sorrel Drink — made from the petals of the sorrel fruit. Sweet, flavorful with a nose of cinnamon. Great refresher.
The service at Sybil’s is top notch Caribbean hospitality. Everyone from the customers to the guys behind the counter, to the kitchen staff are friendly, jovial, and merry. Maybe it had something to do with the Live DJ outside, but this was definitely a welcoming Caribbean feel. It did not hurt that the pastries were great!
