Tastee Patties Kingston Opening Hours

Kingston has the highest concentration of Tastee branches, with outlets spread across Half Way Tree, New Kingston, Cargill Avenue, Orange Street, West Parade, and the Norman Manley Highway. The Half Way Tree head office is the flagship location and one of the longest-serving food and entertainment venues in Kingston.

Best branches for late-night patties in Kingston

If you need a Tastee patty after 8PM in Kingston, your best options are the Half Way Tree Patty Shop and Chicken Shop, both of which stay open until 10:00 PM. The Liguanea branch on Old Hope Road is another solid option, also closing at 10PM on weeknights.

Earliest-opening Kingston branches

The Papine branch at 210 Old Hope Road opens at 6:00 AM, making it the earliest-opening Kingston-area Tastee for workers and students heading to UWI Mona. This branch closes at 9:00 PM, giving it one of the wider daily windows in the capital.

💡
Pro Tip — Half Way Tree

The Half Way Tree head office has two separate counters — the Patty Shop (call 422-6967) and the Chicken Shop (call 422-7096). Both keep the same 7AM–10PM hours but serve different menu sections. Go to the right counter to avoid a longer wait.

Tastee Hours Outside Kingston — Montego Bay, Portmore, Spanish Town & More

The Portmore Town Centre branch opens at 7:30 AM and closes at 9:00 PM, Monday to Saturday. It is one of the busiest St. Catherine locations and serves the large Portmore commuter population heading in and out of Kingston.

Tastee Spanish Town — two branches open from 6AM

Residents of Spanish Town are well served. Both the Burke Road and Oxford Road branches open at 6:00 AM and close at 10:00 PM Monday to Saturday — the longest operating window of any branch outside Kingston. These are excellent options for early-morning stops before commuting.

Tastee Ocho Rios hours

The Ocho Rios Intershores branch at 2 Milford Road opens at 7AM and closes at 10:00 PM, making it particularly convenient for tourists and north-coast travellers. It is one of only four branches that trade past 9PM.

About Tastee Jamaica — A Jamaican Institution Since 1966

Tastee Limited was founded in 1966 by Mr. Vincent Chang OD, a Jamaican-Chinese baker who had trained at the American Institute of Baking in Chicago and honed his pastry skills in Minneapolis. What began as a small patty shop at Union Square in Kingston quickly became a national phenomenon, with Jamaicans travelling from across the island just to taste the product.

By 1968 demand had outgrown the original location, and the business relocated to Cross Roads, which remains the heart of its operations today. Over the decades, Tastee grew from a single patty shop into a multi-location quick-service restaurant and manufacturing business, producing patties for retail sale throughout Jamaica and supplying a large base of resellers island-wide.

Today Tastee operates 20 active branches across six parishes and offers more than 100 menu items. The company also runs a catering division for large and small events. Despite this growth, the original Tastee beef patty remains the product most associated with the brand — a cornerstone of Jamaican food culture and a staple at breakfast, lunch, and in between.

🏅
The Name “Tastee”

According to Vincent Chang, the name came directly from customer feedback. When early test batches were put out, customers consistently described the product the same way: “really tasty.” The name stuck — and so did the patty.
