Haitian market-kitchen and bakery on Eglinton Ave E in Scarborough anchors the east-end Caribbean diaspora with fresh-made epis paste, the foundational aromatic base of Haitian cooking built from scallions, shallots, garlic thyme, ground and jarred for home cooks. The operation runs takeout-focused from a small kitchen attached to a retail counter stocked with jarred pastes, hot sauces prepared items, serving both the ingredient-hunting household cook and the grab-and-go customer. Scarborough's Haitian community on Eglinton has limited dedicated retail kitchens; this spot fills that gap by selling both the building blocks of Haitian home cooking and finished dishes. The bakery turns out pain au chocolat, cassava bread fried accras (split-pea fritters), making this a plausible stop for someone stocking a Haitian kitchen from scratch.
