- 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!

in the last weekOMG! You have to visit here! Visited a few days ago and we’re both still dreaming about our pancakes🥞 I booked a table weeks ago to make sure we were able to get in and I’m so glad we did because people were queuing out of the door for a seat! The ambience is great and seems a real hit with both locals and tourists. We waited a little while to be served but didn’t mind as they were so busy and it meant we had more time to decide. Eventually we both opted for the signature pancakes; banana and walnut and the chocolate chip. I must say I’m not a massive pancake fan but these were just incredible. The hot maple butter you get with it too is delicious, I wish you could buy the stuff! We also got a side of hash browns which although not the traditional hash browns I’m used to were still very tasty. Also I need to give a special mention to our waiter Matthew. He was so personable and bubbly and truly just such an asset to their team. We wish we had visited at the start of our trip so we could have returned more than once. If you eat brunch anywhere in NY make it here because it is amazing!!

a month agoWent here for breakfast on Friday right after Christmas. We made a reservation two weeks before and still were waiting for our table for about 20 minutes. They tell to everyone to wait outside which is not so fun during a cold weather. Other than that everything was great. Pancakes have a great taste- fresh, fluffy and not oily. We also ordered Classic egg Benedict ( Sub spinach was my favorite) and egg Benedict (sub Salmon) Recommending this place for Pancakes lover !

4 months 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.

4 months 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.
