Royal Bakery & Roti House

Real Trini baking, same corner for four decades

Royal Bakery & Roti House has been feeding Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights from the corner of Nostrand and Pacific for more than 40 years — the kind of shop where the roti is made fresh, the case is full of currant rolls and coconut sweets, and regulars have been coming since they were kids.

Come for a roti that eats like a full meal, leave with a bag of sweet buns for the house. Cash only — like it's always been.

From the oven and the tawa

The bakery side runs the West Indian classics — currant rolls, sweet buns with raisins, coconut drops, cassava pone, banana coconut cake. The kitchen side is the roti house: fresh roti big enough to share (not that you'll want to), plus hot plates like vegetable, chicken and shrimp chow mein.
