It all started in 1976 inside a family home before moving to a location on Hillside
Avenue, Queens, New York. The late Sybil Bernard-Kerrutt, a mother and Guyanese
immigrant in New York needed a way to sustain her large family. Drawing on the
rich tradition of baking established by her paternal lineage, the matriarch started
baking Guyanese-style plait and pan bread for friends and others in the
neighborhood. The aptly named, Sybil’s Bakery was born. Soon the entire family
was onboard as the fledging operation quickly grew spawning locations in other
parts of New York and Florida.
Sybil’s Bakery and Restaurant is a pioneer in the
production, sales, and marketing of Guyanese and Caribbean cuisine in the city
of New York.
