A&A Bake & Doubles Shop

A&A Bake & Doubles and Roti Shop is a Caribbean restaurant owned by Trinidadian immigrants Noel and Geeta Brown, located on Fulton Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.[1] It is known for its doubles[2] (curried chickpea sandwiches on fried flatbread), bake, roti, and other dishes.

It was originally located on Nostrand Avenue at Macon Street,[3] and moved to Fulton Street due to a dramatic increase in business, which has been in part attributed to the effects of gentrification in Bedford-Stuyvesant.[4]

Recognition

The shop was reviewed by ex-Village Voice food critic Robert Sietsema in 2018 and became among five winners of the James Beard Foundation's American Classics Award in 2019.[5]
