Rainbow Bakery

London’s Saint Lucian diaspora may not be as large as those from Jamaica or Trinidad, but those in know seek out this bakery in the heart of Dalston. Founded by the Monero family, Rainbow Bakery have been cooking up everything from patties, cassava cake and spiced bun since 1987. They also have a great selection of homemade drinks and punches, such as sea moss punch and peanut punch. Super rich and delicious, they’re popular in the Caribbean and made with condensed milk, evaporated milk and spices. If you’re lucky enough to arrive when the coco breads have just come out of the oven, also order a patty and pop it in the middle of the bread. They’re both great alone, but together is a whole other experience.
