CG is at the top of my list when it comes to a fantastic meal, flakey and so great tasty pastries. Everything is homemade my taste buds literally are screaming yummy with every bite. Whether it is a beef patty, pine tart, cheese roll,vegetable curry, pepper pot, homemade bread and black cake. Everything is super delicious! Thank you so much Chef Yonette and the Caribbean Gourmet team for your amazing service! I truly appreciate the love and joy that you have in all of your wonderfully made and delicious selections.❤️

I can't say enough good things about this spot. They were the first place I ever tried Jamaican food, when they were vendors at the Atwater Village Farmer's Market. When they were no longer there, I thought I would never get to enjoy their incredible food again. So, you can imagine my excitement when I visited Blossom Market Hall and found them there!
My partner and I both got the vegan curry as well as a turkey patty to share. It was so flavorful and delicious, I had to go back and pay my respects to the chefs. Arian is so lovely and remembered my partner and me by name the next time we went. My experience has been that the COVID pandemic really changed the quality of food and the quality of service, but Caribbean Gourmet is an exception, and we will continue to support them as often as we can.

Caribbean Gourmet is a true hidden gem! The food is cooked with heart and soul, and every bite tastes authentic and home-cooked. The oxtails are incredibly tender and flavorful, and the bake and salt fish is absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned and soft.
The owner is such a sweetheart—so kind and welcoming. She even let us sample her jerk chicken, which was phenomenal! You can feel the warmth of this family-owned restaurant the moment you walk in.
And don’t skip the Sorrel—it’s vibrant, refreshing, and the perfect finishing touch.
Caribbean Gourmet is more than just a meal; it’s a beautiful experience of true Guyanese hospitality and flavor. Highly recommend! 🇬🇾❤️

No matter how far away I might move or live, I will ALWAYS come back for the absolutely AMAZING authentic Caribbean food here!!
The staff are always all smiles, and so friendly and helpful!! The owner is also usually there making sure things go just right, and that her customers are happy-a real sign that a lot of heart and soul are at the core of this incredible little restaurant.
We always get the traditional Jerk Chicken plate, which comes with all the traditional sides, Jamaican rice n beans, steamed cabbage/vegetables, and fried sweet plantains… I also ALWAYS get a side of their Oxtail soup, and literally put it all over everything! It’s THAT GOOD!! That said, this is hands down, the BEST oxtail soup I’ve ever had!!!
They have house made traditional Jamaican Punches, and a wide variety of other dishes on the menu-lots of traditional, then some slightly less traditional so as to offer a variety that everyone can enjoy.
They are comfortably nestled in the San Marino Market, and surrounded by lots of other international food stalls, so you can get some delicious Jamaican meals there, and maybe try some yummy drinks or other various dishes around the market. The space is large, and open, well lit, with lots of seating all over the place-inside and out if it’s a nice day!
The best decision of your day, week, month, or maybe year, will be making this fantastic place your next GO TO traditional Jamaican food spot!!!
Hope you bring your taste buds, because they’re about to throw a party for all this traditional Jamaican FLAVOR!!! 🇯🇲

This is top quality, fresh food. Located inside the Blossom Market Food Hall in San Gabriel, this place is a gem! They make everything from scratch including their pastries and guava mango drink. I had the oxtails, rice & peas, sweet plantains and seasoned cabbage. The oxtails were perfect and falling off the bone. No thick gravy to mask untasty meat as I've seen other places do, here the meat was seasoned well and tender. Most places screw up the rice & peas, but not here. I'm a rice and beans momma so it was refreshing to finally find a restaurant that knows how to make tasty rice (not just bland boiledness) The guava drink was sweet and tasty. I ordered Jamaican beef patties to go. The staff very friendly. In fact I called before I came and spoke to Chef Sinny who patiently gave me a run down on all their food. I met the owner Yonette Alleyne who was kind hearted and handed me her business card. Someone needs to let Keith know about this place, as they deserve immense success!
The oxtails are delicious, the cabbage , and the plantains! I loved this place def try the ox tails and the kola champagne

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Flavorful Caribbean Comfort with Outstanding Service!
Our first visit to Caribbean Gourmet in the San Gabriel Valley was a total delight! We ordered the Curry Chicken with Roti, Curry Chicken with Rice & Peas, and the Oxtail Stew—and every dish was absolutely delicious. My entire family was thrilled with their meals, and everyone agreed the flavors were rich, authentic, and deeply satisfying.
The service was immediate and courteous, with staff greeting us warmly and serving with genuine smiles. The ambiance was just as impressive—welcoming, spotless, well-organized, and beautifully multicultural. It felt like stepping into a vibrant island kitchen with a touch of elegance.
We’re already planning our next visit, and I’m especially excited to see the holiday menu so I can place a catering order. Caribbean Gourmet has earned a permanent spot on our favorites list!

A Little Piece of Heaven on a Sunday
On Sundays, you just want a little piece of heaven. It’s the day before the work week begins, and when the sun is shining, the weather’s perfect, and everyone seems to be on the same vibration, it feels like everything aligns.
We found ourselves in San Gabriel at Blossom Market, where I stumbled upon a familiar name, but for me, a first-time experience, Caribbean Gourmet. I was immediately intrigued, especially when I noticed a panel of Caribbean flags proudly displayed. Seeing my very own among them made me feel not just inspired, but welcomed.
As someone who isn’t a native of Los Angeles, any time I see something or someone that reminds me of home, of island people, it fills me with warmth. You feel connected, you feel loved, you feel family. And that’s exactly how I felt the moment I approached Caribbean Gourmet.
From the start, I was beyond welcomed and cared for. As I began asking questions, the team offered me samples, one of oxtail, the other of curry chicken, each with a little rice. When I tell you, I didn’t even have a big appetite, but I could have eaten a full plate of both.
The oxtail was smooth and tender, falling right off the bone. It was spicy, but in a way that took you on a journey, inviting you in gently before leading you to a deeper, richer heat. Every bite was comforting and flavorful, settling into a spice that lingered beautifully. The curry chicken was equally balanced, juicy, well-marinated, and bursting with warmth.
After my samples, I was absolutely full, but I had to support this business. So I ordered a chicken patty, and when I tell you, a tear came down my face with that first bite, I mean it. The crust was perfection, flaky, buttery, almost dessert-like, and the filling was deeply seasoned, tasting as though it had been marinated for hours, maybe even days. It was packed with flavor, hearty, and beyond satisfying.
It’s now almost 4 o’clock, and I know I won’t be eating dinner. Not because I’m not hungry, but because I’m so fulfilled, by the food, by the care, by the love that was poured into every bite.
In my usual fashion of gratitude, I had to say thank you. I wanted to meet the person behind the magic. When I returned to Caribbean Gourmet, I saw a woman speaking with someone and couldn’t help but interrupt to ask if she was the cook. She smiled, it was Yonette Alleyne, the owner herself.
What an angel. Her hands aren’t just meant for cooking, they’re meant for sharing love and light through food. Speaking with her felt like being embraced by family.
She made my Sunday. I cannot wait to return, to connect with Yonette again, and to share the beautiful and delicious experience I had at Caribbean Gourmet.
