Immaculee Bakery

Patties with a perfectly flaky crust—and the heavenly smell that goes with them—fill this little bakery and Haitian grocery store. Each patty, or pate (pronounced pah-tay), only cost about $1, so when in Flatbush, do as the locals do and stock up on as many as your stomach will allow. You can also grab ingredients for your own Caribbean cooking adventures, and don’t miss out on trying some of the uniquely Haitian homemade bottled drinks, such as AK-100 (a corn-flour drink) and Phoscao (a chocolate syrup drink).
