Uber Eats Order: To be fair, I don’t know about the service or atmosphere because I’ve never actually been inside. The last time I ordered bake and shark, it wasn’t fresh, and the 5 stage porridge I got wasn’t good either. I wanted to try something different to give this place another chance, I’ve given it three chances, and this is my LAST!
The only reason they’re convenient is because they’re the only spot open early in the morning if you want island food around 6 AM.
Not worth the $16 on Uber! The dumplings were tough and had banana stains, the cheese pastry was burnt, and the ackee was not worth $9 at all.

I want to start by addressing the service. The attitude of the staff member who served us was unfortunately quite poor. Since a lot of items on the menu weren’t available, we had to ask about dishes one by one. The server was visibly annoyed (“long-faced”) and didn’t hide his irritation, but to his credit, he did answer all of our questions. Just be prepared for this kind of interaction.
Now for the good part: the food!
Knowing the service was sub-par actually helped us not be affected by it, and we were able to fully focus on the meal. The food here is truly, exceptionally delicious. It was well-prepared, flavorful, and a genuinely great culinary experience.

My friend introduced me to this restaurant, so I decided to go and try the food, The food was very salty. I ordered over $100 worth of food. I ordered the white rice with pumpkin. The pumpkin did not have no taste. It did not have no seasoning and it was not well flavor. I ordered the oxtail. The oxtail was not soft enough, and it was too salty. I ordered the Pollari it was nice and soft, but it was too salty. I ordered 6 bake and selfish the bake was nice and big. It was soft, but the selfish did not add enough seasoning enough flavor and it was salty. I ordered a coconut buns. The buns was no good. I ordered two egg balls. The egg balls was salty and they didn’t have no flavor. I know about catering or cooking Guyanese food. I’m very familiar with how it should taste. Also, I had 1 pint tart and one cheese roll. The pastry dough was very thick and it did not taste nice it taste like a lot of flour in your mouth.

Theres better places around. With better food, better portions, better customer service. Make this place your last resort. My money was definitely not well spent. I ended up just giving it away to the homeless man outside. I completely lost my appetite. Once I saw how they skimp on the portions. Overcharging and have the nerve to have bad attitudes. I asked to speak to someone in the back . A woman comes out on fire talking about how she’s not Jamaican she’s Guyanese and she went to culinary school , i’m wrong and she knows what she’s doing. I was blown away .
I should’ve known not to Go there. I tried once before to order on Uber eats and had to cancel the order because they said no one was there to make the food, I initially told them to cancel on their end but they never did. I sat around hungry unable to use my app for over an hour. They need to get their hospitality and efficiency together ASAP. Or they won’t have a business. It’s too much competition out here for them to act like this. There’s two other Caribbean restaurants in a one block radius, both directions. The one by the east Orange train station next to the liquor store, Is way better.
Just some advice to the ppl at Spice & Thing: If your work or career choice, no longer brings you joy. It’s OK to let go of your pride and find a new direction.

Don’t ever try to order online from this store. No matter what time of the day it is, they’re ALWAYS out of items, yet on the app, it will say that they have it!! Ive tried on multiple different occasions to order, and I can never get my entire order, just disappointing!!! On one occasion they literally just canceled my entire order because they were out of everything, and yet they do not put “out of stock” on the app, when they’re clearly out of the items. As a caribbean person, you try to support each other, but this store could care less. Today was my last straw, I tried my luck again, and as usual, they had neither of the 2 items I order. I was truly disgusted!!! I know I can spend my money elsewhere and I will. But people just need to know what to expect from Spice n ting!!

My experience was awesome. Andrea made sure my order was ready on time, well-packed, and the pasties tasted great, which were also fresh. I definitely recommend this business for its Caribbean delicacies.

I stopped by this business about two months ago with my colleague . The place looked fine, but during our visit I personally observed the manager speaking loudly to a staff members and using profanity. Two of the employees appeared distressed and the interaction affected the overall atmosphere so we left abruptly. After reading through other reviews, it seems like a few people have noticed the same kind of issues with communication and leadership. That kind of energy can really affect how both employees and customers feel. To the team working there; keep going and know that people do notice your effort. Hopefully management takes this feedback as a chance to create a more positive, respectful space for everyone.

I am a doordash driver. I am at the store as I am typing. Can I just say the lady that works the front is disrespectful. I come in for an order. I let her know im here to pick up she rudely says its not ready so i gave her the same attitude back. And asked her when will it be ready she said about 10 minutes. Its past 20 minutes and food still not out. I then asked her how much longer would it take and says im giving it to you now with an eye roll. Personally im required to let the customer know when the order will be late and keep them updated. All i am saying is, you applied to work there not the other way around. If you dont like it you can leave and let someone else who knows how to talk to people work .

One of their cooks is a racist that wouldn’t serve me my Pepper Pot cuz they believe I’m a “Mexican that doesn’t let black people in their family.” Everything else is good though. Good food nice people everything was fine. But that one bad apple really did ruin it for me.

Amazing Food & Even Better Service!
I recently visited Spice N Thing and was blown away by the entire experience. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. From the initial approach to being served my order, everything was smooth and professional. What really made my visit unforgettable was the outstanding service I received from Latoya (the young lady with the glasses). She greeted me with a warm, genuine smile and treated me like a valued guest from the moment I walked in. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive throughout the entire interaction. It’s rare to come across someone so naturally gifted in hospitality. She didn’t just take my order, she elevated the whole experience with her positive energy and professionalism. She is a true asset to the Spice N Thing team, and I want to sincerely thank the management for hiring her and sharing her service with the community. You’ve got a real star on your hands. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for amazing Caribbean cuisine and top-tier service. I’ll definitely be back!
