    Great coffee and fresh pastries! Inside seating and a little terrace with 4-5 tables, not all have shade.

    This is the only bakery in Jamaica of this type. It serves freshly baked french pastries that are so delicious, you can't just buy one. The owners are very interactive with their customers and are very kind as well! The place has outdoor seating and even a toy area for kids to play and have fun. They serve the best quality of blue Mountain peak coffee and freshly squeezed natural juices. The thing I love the most about this place is that there are no plastic products in sight. They really thought deeply about how best to serve not only their customers, but also the environment at large. Oh! If you get the chance, try their blueberry sourdough pancakes! They're the most delicious pancakes I've ever had!!

    A true gem in the rough. It is the only place in the island where one can get real European coffee. Third wave coffee! The bakery and breakfast need a separate review (also stellar) but for true coffee connoisseur this is the place to visit.

    Amazing, fantastic, fresh baked pastries and breads. I love coming here for a morning coffee and an almond croissant. With so many options it's so hard to choose, go there often and try something new each time! Don't forget to grab a loaf of delicious sourdough bread on your way out. You won't be disappointed!

    If you are longing for some comfort foods such as pastry and breads this is the place! Eleni's also has the best barista and subsequently the best coffee! Always a stop in Kingston!

    Incredible croissant 🥐 . I am a connoisseur and eat many all around the world. It’s crusty, buttery and soft. The akee with veggies was so yummy too. Great lattes and coffee. They have indoor and outdoor seating too. They make their own sourdough and the owner is so nice! High quality ingredients used and can’t wait to revisit.

    More than a bakery with outstanding pastries - this is the best breakfast/brunch place in Kingston. Menu includes a variety of excellent scrambles (they call them “mashes” )

    Food is very good in all categories. -1 star for Eleni's obnoxiousness and items being quite overpriced. Also lacking in COVID measures...

    Great place and I go regularly but would be happier if they took things out of the oven a few mins sooner! For some reason, the past few months everything is borderline burnt and we've stopped going as much. I can understand if it was a one off but its every week now.

    Absolutely love this bakery! You can get freshly made Artisan bread and pastry. Love the gluten free bread and cake options which are so delicious and an healthier alternative. Sourdough bread is available here in Jamaica. Prices are reasonable. Dining available indoor and outdoor, and take away also available. Customer service is great. Ample parking available at the plaza.

    Great Bakery! Everything we have tried is best of the best- bagels, pastries and coffee. My very finicky daughter was offered a mini pastry by a friend and reluctantly tried it- and loved it! So we went by the bakery Every other day afterwards to get more during our 2 weeks visiting family. And on our last day in Jamaica, we made a point to go straight to Eleni's on the way to the airport to load up on bagels, pastries and coffee. The almond croissant is delicious! And so is the white chocolate coconut pastry- Yum! My daughter loved the chocolate filled pastry and the chocolate chip pastry. Can't wait for next trip. Definitely worth a visit and regular patronage. I have rarely eaten at a bakery of this quality in the states, and we were fortunate to meet Eleni on our last visit before our flight which made our experience even more enjoyable. You can see she Loves providing a quality product for her customers and ensuring they want to come back. Great to meet you, Eleni! I hope to visit again soon.

    Fantastic offerings and the most variety in Kingston - pastries, breads,coffee, fresh juices BUT everything is usually burnt! It's best to select which one you want to find the least burnt pastry/bread. The staff are also very friendly

  • 4/5 Danielle W. 4 years ago on Google
    It always smells so good in here! They have pastries, breakfast and lunch options to my knowledge. Food is great, especially the pastries (I LOVE their beignets). They sometimes offer samples so you can try some things out. The employees are very welcoming and helpful.

    Good sour dough breads, pastries and coffee. A bit pricey but a refreshing change from the normal Jamaican bakery. A taste of France indeed.

  • 4/5 Tashy 1 year ago on Google
    It was my first visit there and I thoroughly enjoyed my croissants. I had a chocolate croissant and my husband had a cheese one. The only disappointment is that I ordered a green bagel which should have avocados and that was noticeably absent. I don't know if they were out and the cashier forgot to inform me or the person building the sandwich forgot to add it. I won't let that color my experience though, the croissants were still the highlight for me and I would visit again, hopefully without any hiccups next time.

    Coming from Greece I was so proud to discover Eleni's bakery! They make seriously good croissants, pancakes, breakfast bagels and coffee drinks. This is unique experience in Jamaica. I wished we could try it all. Bread looked as good as in best European's bakeries.

  • 5/5 Kelly Tatiana C. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite place for breakfast in Jamaica. The bread is marvelous and the personel is pretty kind. Breakfast are recommended and also the salads they offer.

  • 5/5 Nikolai M. 8 months ago on Google
    I haven't eaten bread that tastes that good ever, the croisant sandwiches are absolutly fantastic. The hot chocolate was amazing; it was creamy and sweet. I would recommend every thing here. 11 a.m. is the perfect time to come; if you come in the evening they will most likely have run out of most things.

  • 5/5 Rosaline 10 months ago on Google
    Great place! Best bakery in Jamaica. It was my first time I had breakfast there, and before I could sit down it was there. Fast service!

  • 3/5 Britny P. 4 months ago on Google
    Really good bread and baked goods, pastries and breakfast items.

  • 2/5 Guy K. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything looks like it was over baked. In the state our expectations on pastries are a light golden brown color flaky to the touch. with this bakery everything was a dark brown close to burnt color.

  • 5/5 Shanalese L. 1 year ago on Google
    Extremely courteous and considerate staff and owners! The rosemary focaccio and their chocolate elegance are delicious!!!! They also donate breads to different organizations, which is very kind of them.

  • 4/5 Vivion S. 2 years ago on Google
    Breakfast joint for French bakes and. Good coffee.

  • 3/5 L. Nicole B. 2 years ago on Google
    I quite like this place. The salads appeal to my vegan palette. The service is fairly good. As a newbie, I like to ask questions, so I feel kinda rushed to place my order. I've been on Saturdays and Sundays and mek mi tell u... di place pack! Bikers, runners, hikers and profilers converge. During week not so bad. There's more exploring to do there..so I will be going back

    Excellent customer service. Generally customer service is non-existent in Jamaica this is one of the rare exceptions. And the food is good.

  • 3/5 Mikaela W. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited Eleni's today for a quick bite: ordered 2 Macarons + 1 Almond Croissant. Got a vanilla macaroon (it was fine) but the chocolate was unbearably bitter, I was actually unable to finish it due to how bitingly bitter it was. The almond croissant was close to burnt all along the top and that definitely dampened on the taste as the char was more overwhelming than the taste of the croissant itself.

    Really nice bakery, you can buy fresh bread, and bake goods. You may enjoy a coffee too. They offer breakfast menu as well as lunch menu. Personal is friendly. My favorite bake goods are pain au chocolat and cinammon circles ( I think that’s the name). Prices are not cheap though.

    Good coffee. Chill spot and a good place to bump into friends. Good bread lunch salads n sandwiches. Bakery sweet treats are very good and EXPENSIVE TOO.

  • 4/5 Joniann C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place it also has a seating area which i love and most have all the have variety of products. I really like their cronuts

  • 3/5 ERIS S. 2 years ago on Google
    The sandwich was ok. There was a burning scent that gave me a sinus headache.

  • 5/5 sherman t. 2 years ago on Google
    Customer Service was really good, but OMG the food

  • 1/5 Nicola R. 2 years ago on Google
    Got a berry cake thing idr the name of it but it was disgusting. Ive never been disgusted by a desert before so that was alarming. Cake was wet and not in a good way weird texture it was like it was wet and dry at the same time. Complete turn off dont think I would try anything else from here.

  • 4/5 Hugh G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great bakery one of the best... They also serve Marley coffee. Note this isn't your average bakery, can get quirky 😊

  • 5/5 SimplyDivine M. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent Sunday brunch option. The bagels are a must have & my father & husband enjoyed their treat. I'm glad I went here! Time & money well spent

  • 5/5 Alexzander S. 3 years ago on Google
    Elena's Bakery is hand down the best brunch in Kingston complete with espresso coffee's and beans that keep you coming back again and again. Personally, I pay Eleni a visit on a weekly basis always greeted with smiles and positive vibes leaving with tasty treats. Whether it's baked goods or the full assortment of brunches, breakfasts, and sandwiches the hardest decision is which delicious meal or treat to eat on your visit. 5/5 you won't be disappointed!

  • 3/5 Anthony-Lester M. 2 years ago on Google
    Good bakery with different types of breads, but their sandwiches 🥪 need more meat in them. My BBQ chicken sandwich was really lacking in the meat department. Overall this bakery was okay.

  • 5/5 Dr. Ilana D. 2 years ago on Google
    Consistently offers good service and great food! Little to no turnover of employees and a professional cashier who is always the same woman who recognizes me every time I visit. Good vibes. Excellent bagels (this is coming from an expat, NYC bagel snob😉)

😠 Ordered a vanilla cake for my birthday as Pastry Passions came highly recommended. The design was nice but I didn’t like the taste at all. I couldn’t tell if it was vanilla cake or plain cake. Very disappointing.

👍👍 Simple rolled icecream shop with vegan options and variety of flavors and toppings. You have the freedom to design your own flavor by combining flavors of your choice. Good serving size. Nice little swings for photos.
