Devon House Bakery on Postcard

"Devon House is a linchpin in the Jamaican gastronomic scene. At the Bakery, there are luxe versions of Jamaica’s signature hand pies, golden puff pastry creations that encase fillings like curry goat, beef, chicken, lobster, shrimp, or callaloo. Sweet options include sweet potato pudding, bread pudding, and rum cake. The only thing that can follow a patty from Devon House is a cone from the treasured Devon House Ice Cream, the other half of the business. Locals gather on the lawn each Sunday for popular flavors like Grapenut, Devon stout, and rum raisin. There are toppings, but these cones are best enjoyed on their own in their natural surroundings." - Leisha Wong

"When inKingston, make time for a stop at Devon House, a grand 1891 Georgian mansionthat wasbuiltfor George Stiebel, Jamaica 's firstnon-white millionaire. The lovely upright house and its 11 surrounding acres are now protected as a National Heritage Site, but that doesn't mean that there's not fun to be had. The sprawling grounds includeshops,restaurants, a bakery, and apopular ice-cream shop, I-Scream. House tours can be arranged, but the grounds, landscaped with stately palms and fountains, are the highlight—it’s a great spot to take a stroll, read, shop, or dine. The mansion and its manicured lawns are also used for weddings and lavish events."

We tried the curry goat patty for the first time. It was really delicious, nice chunks of meat with the spice just right. Also, I had the bread pudding as a sweet treat...boy oh boy they did a fantastic job with that as well. You can taste the vanilla and sweet spices. Keep up the great work! We will be back soon so hopefully it will not disappoint!

We've been here a couple of times, and they never have the ackee and saltfish patties. So, we ended up with the callaloo patty, which wasn't good. It was a little dry, and it had this strange taste to it. Our other friend got the chicken patty, and he said it was good. But, the crust was wonderful and flaky, and it wasn't the classic patty shape, which made it stand out from the rest. There are many dessert options to satisfy that sweet tooth, but they don't have the traditional rum cake (black cake) that we love. The service was decent, and there's only seating outside. With the newly renovated space, on a nice day, it's a beautiful atmosphere to share a delicious treat with your loved ones.

Devon House Bakery offers delicious patties with a variety of flavors. While I didn't enjoy the shrimp patty, the other flavors were fantastic and well worth the visit. A great spot for tasty baked goods!

Great atmosphere in the courtyard! The food was great, we had 4 different types of patties: beef, calloloo, bbq chicken, and fish. All of them were fresh and delicious.

Devon House bakery pastries are fresh & delicious, we've had their cookies (not really a big fan of those), cheesecakes,pineapple turnover, muffins, coffee strips, cakes, donuts (chocolate covered donut with sprinkles are my favorite)...but the star of the show is their curry goat patty!!! I also enjoy their beef patty too. Now I don't even like or eat goat meat🥲 but I tried this and since then I have never been the same🤣😭 It's one of my hubby's favorite, he's not crazy about curry but he loves it; it’s well seasoned, delicious, flavorful and spicy just the way we like it.

Devon House bakery cakes are always delicious but I didn’t enjoy this parfait. I’m a big fan of their curry goat patty! It’s well seasoned and delicious other filled with chunks of goat. Only fault was it maybe a lil too spicy this time.

This is a beautiful well maintained property. The 45 minute tour was informative and gave insight into how a millionaire and his family lived in the later part of 1800. The complimentary ice cream was almost three scoops high, sweet, coconut flavored and creamy. There was a choice from at least 10-12 flavors. Ideal for cooling down on a hot sunny day walking around the compound. Notable mention- The compound has spotty free wifi and outdoor plugs in the entrance area with the statue of George Stiebel. It’s worth a revisit to enjoy the restaurants and cafes. This visit was strictly for the tour and ice scream.
