Panderia - Pan Del Cielo

340 Prospect Ave
Hartford, CT 06106
(860) 233-0170

I love the sandwiches here. I get El Cielo, which is pork, pastrami and beef on a toasted flatbread for $6. One sandwich is so big, it would last all day if I could control myself. The only problem is it takes about 5 minutes to get a sandwich. Great, easy to access location. Very friendly people. I usually try to get a sandwich here early in the morning when my chances of getting called away are slimer. I did get called out once, and they just kept my sanwich in the bread warmer for me. Lots of great bakery treats here also. This place is more expensive than Los Cubanitos, but the portions are bigger.

Oh all the places I eat at in Hartford, this is my favorite place to come when I am off-duty. I bring my daughters here for sandwiches quite frequently.

Los Cubanitos

867 Park Street
Hartford
(860) 247-7844

This is the cheapest place in the city to fill your belly. Start with the sandwiches. Here for $ 2.00 is a pork sandwich. They have a refrigerator full of freshly premade sandwiches, which they quickly reheat in the microwave and then toast with a pull down toasting machine. Takes only a couple minutes. For $2.25 you can get chicken, for $1.50 you can get a Cuban (Ham, cheese and Pork) or a Ham and Cheese.

While there the other day, I got a pork tamale for $1.25. The tamale made of cornmeal and pork comes steaming hot, cooked in a corn stalk. They also have pastries here. There is aways a line of people waiting to get sandwiches, but the line moves fast.

75 cents will get you this Guava filled pastry.

Golden Crust

Golden Crust Bakery
1170 Albany Avenue
Hartford, CT 06112
(860) 724-7983

Located at Albany and Woodland, the Golden Crust has great patties. I personally prefer the patties at Golden Crust, which comes in a lighter pastry than Scott's. A beef or chicken patty costs $1.80. You can get coco bread for 90 cents. Golden Crust also has regular Jamaican food for take out.

Scott's Bakery

Scott’s Bakery 1344 Albany Avenue is Open Monday through Saturday 8 M to 7:30 PM and Sunday 8-5.

Scott’s on Albany Avenue is a bakery that does not offer the full array of foods that other restaurants do. What Scott’s does offer are beef patties, coco-bites, and an arry of Jamaican baked goods such as duck bread and carrot cake.

Beef, chicken or vegetable patties are a traditional dish, the filling in a lightly pastry that is often eaten alone or in the middle of a piece of sliced coconut bread. Patties are $1.75 each and 0.95 cents for the coco bread.

A coco-bite is a hot dog with cheese cooked into a piece of coco bread. It will cost you $3.10.

Scott’s also has a restaurant at 3381 Main Street that offers traditional takeout such as curry goat, ox tails and jerk chicken, as well as another storefront on Blue Hill’s Avenue close to Mt Sinai, they have another small restaurant where you can get patties, regular meals and they have jerk chicken wings for $3.00 that are particularly good.

This is a Portuguese Bakery that has excellent breads and pastries. For $1 I got a delicious doughnut filled with custard.
