Any given night at Crown Bakery you will find the small storefront crowded with Caribbean immigrants laughing, listening to Calypso music and enjoying the home-style cooking. In addition to coconut rolls and guava tarts, Crown serves up a full menu of Trinidad-style specialties, including jerk chicken that falls off the bone, with rice, vegetables and plantains. The restaurant also bottles several of its own juice and punches. A simple, but more spacious party room is located downstairs and catering services are also available.
