Devon House Bakery

"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."
