Peanut Plaza Pastry Shop

What is Peanut Plaza Pastry Shop? Peanut Plaza Pastry Shop (widely known and operated under the banner of Allan's Pastry Shop) is an iconic Caribbean bakery embedded in the lower concourse of North York's Peanut Plaza on Don Mills Road. Operating for decades, the shop is a revered suburban destination for handmade Jamaican baked goods, recognized across Toronto for its hot turnover patties, sweet spiced buns, and freshly baked hard dough loaves.

Peanut Plaza Pastry Shop Menu & What to Order The signature Jamaican beef patties feature an ultra-flaky, golden-yellow turmeric pastry stuffed with savory ground beef spiked with thyme, scallions, and scotch bonnet peppers. The spicy version offers a lingering, authentic kick of heat, while milder beef and seasoned jerk chicken options cater to all palates. Savory curry goat patties are a sought-after weekend specialty. Pair your patty tucked inside a slice of soft, pillowy coco bread, and pick up sweet gizzada tarts with grated coconut and ginger for dessert.

Know Before You Go The shop is open Monday through Saturday and closed on Sundays. Peak hours between lunch and late afternoon often generate queues, and popular patties fresh out of the ovens can sell out quickly before batches restock. Free surface parking surrounds Peanut Plaza. Frozen unbaked patties in boxes of a dozen can be purchased to bake fresh at home.
