We're proud to present the final 2019 America's Classics award to A&A Bake & Double and Roti Shop in Brooklyn! Doubles, a Trinidadian specialty, consist of curried chickpeas layered between two deep-fried flatbreads. Trinidadian natives Noel and Geeta Brown have been serving a trailing line of customers since they opened up shop in Bedford-Stuyvesant in 2002. The Browns recently moved the restaurant down the street into a much larger space, offering customers more seating (and, hopefully, shorter lines). As the neighborhood continues to rapidly gentrify, A&A’s sustained success serves as a delicious reminder of the Bed-Stuy’s rich Caribbean history.
