- Types of Breakfasts ServedAmerican Breakfast, Continental Breakfast
Clinton St Baking Company is a classic American restaurant with bakery located on NYC’s Lower East Side. Since 2001, we’ve maintained our mom & pop roots by using the highest quality ingredients from local purveyors we know and trust who stand behind the integrity of their products like sustainable coffee, all natural milk, cage free poultry & eggs, premium ice cream, and heritage farm-raised pork. Our eclectic menu takes inspiration from the American South, coastal New England, Jewish New York, and the Spanish cooks who bring to our kitchen their rich culinary traditions from Mexico and the Southwest.
Nearly everything we serve, from raspberry jam and buttermilk biscuits, to corn tortillas and habanero hot sauce, is made on premises, using classic and traditional techniques. Our breakfast and brunch earn the most acclaim, but dinner is a great time to visit, when lights are low, crowds are calm and the neighborhood regulars claim their well-earned place. And yes—pancakes are served all day and all night!

a week agoWent for brunch and overall was very good but nothing that I need to go back for. Biscuits were my favorite bite. Crumbly and flaky at the same time. We had the southern breakfast which was very good but again not a “I must go back for this”. Bacon was cooked perfectly crispy with a hint of sweetness. Scrambled eggs were light and fluffy. I liked the grits but others in our group thought they needed to be looser with more butter. Fried green tomatoes were my least favorite they were not greasy, which is a big plus, but the batter was too thick and that’s really all you tasted. Homemade hot sauce was really good, pretty spicy and added a nice kick to the eggs. Small restaurant that is very popular therefore very crowded. We had a reservation and got seated right away. Definitely worth a try as it was a solid brunch.

2 weeks agoBrunch at this spot in New York may require navigating a bit of a rough neighborhood, but hey, it's NYC – that’s part of the charm! Once inside, you'll be greeted by an inviting modern decor and warm, attentive service that immediately makes you feel at ease. Let's start with the cocktail: an apple cider creation that was pure culinary artistry. It was the perfect balance of fall vibes but versatile enough to be enjoyed year-round. The apple flavor was bold, clearly locally sourced, and refreshingly crisp – not overly sweet, just perfection in a glass. Now, for the real reason I'd catch a flight back to NYC: the pancakes. These are not your average pancakes. Pancake-making requires real skill, and this chef knows exactly how to get it right. These beauties were fluffy but never soggy, with crispy edges that didn’t taste burnt, and a texture so light they almost melt in your mouth. Sweet but not sugary – it’s a delicate balance, and they nailed it. Honestly, these pancakes are in my top five of all time. Hats off to the kitchen for the love and mastery poured into every bite. You’ll be rethinking your whole life with these pancakes! Absolutely phenomenal.
It’s Never Too Late
in the last weekI took the family all the way to Brooklyn to eat the amazing ‘fluffy’ pancakes. The only amazing thing was the price, around 20 dollars. The wait to eat them on a Sunday was of over 30 minutes and the taste was so bad we left them as well as the waffles. They only tasted of yeast and made our tongue burn. Such a disappointment. I advise the location of Time Our Market, but not the food.

a week agoClinton St. Baking Co. was totally worth the wait! I was able to snag a weekday reservation, and still couldn’t believe how packed it was. But I totally get the hype. The food was excellent! We shared a tomato and Munster cheese omelette that was cooked perfectly, and the hash browns were delicious. But the real star was the Maine blueberry pancakes. Light, fluffy, perfectly sweet. They have pancakes down to a science! And everything was reasonably priced. I can’t wait to go back and try many of their other delicious items, and grab some things to go from their bakery window.

a month agoI made reservations for 3. Upon arrival, the waitress said that my table wasn't ready and to go outside and she'll call me when it's ready. The wait was about 10 to 15 minutes. Once we got in, we ordered a ton of food. We wanted to taste everything to see why this place was raved about. The food came quickly. It was the best breakfast that I've ever had. It tasted like grandma's cooking with more flavoring and no mistakes. The pancakes and french toast come with maple butter syrup. The grits were just right. The bacon tasted like honey or a light maple. The eggs were scrambled in real butter and tasted amazing. I forgot what scrambled eggs were supposed to taste like. The last time it tasted like that was when I was a child. The latte was good and my friends said that the liquor was good. A tip is to get the southern breakfast and then pancakes or french toast on the side. That way
