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 agoIt's hard to get a reservation on a weekend. So we came here Thursday evening. The pancake was so fluffy. I chose a salmon burger instead of chicken, to my surprise it was so good!!! Chicken waffles, their signature, don't need to say more, try it! Truffle Brussels sprouts tasted a little bit Salty. Double bacon, is pretty good like beef jerky. We got 2 seasonal drinks, hot buttered rum and Mexican coffee. Hot buttered rum, tasted strong and light at the same time, sweet and sour at the same time, very unique taste. Overall, traditional American food, worth to come, don't forget make a reservation ahead

2 weeks agoWent sun at 9am (it was rainy), waited in line for like 10 mins, put name down, table was said to be ready in 1.5h but was ready in 50 mins. That was not what we were expecting- I went back at 10 to change it, wait was ultimately 2.5h after that. I think they can streamline their operations-if the estimates are so off, then let’s plz be able to see our positions. Chicken & waffles were delish and good value for money. Chicken is huge. The hot sauce is rly good. I thought the pancakes were OK. Wouldn’t order them (friends ordered). Blueberries tasted artificial- but I think it might be me being against warmed blueberries. Overall, too sweet. Maple butter was good. Crispy potato pancakes were fine, not that crispy lol. Sour cream was essential for me-the apple sauce was good. Vibes inside are good - like a diner. Prob won’t be back given 1) unreliable line situation and 2) food was good but like not enough for me to return Overhyped but solid brunch

a month agoA beautiful and cozy place, ideal for breakfast and lunch. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes that look appetizing and taste just as good. I ordered pancakes with blueberries for breakfast - they were just incredible! The portion is large and very satisfying. The pancakes were tender, and the blueberry syrup added a special flavor. I recommend it for a delicious and atmospheric meal!

a month agoI think if you can manage to get a reservation, Clinton St. Baking Co is worth a visit! I went with a group of 4 on a Sunday. We had to wait 15 min for our table to be ready, but once seated the staff really made us feel welcome. We tried the blueberry pancakes, chicken and waffle, B.E.L.T., and Mexican scramble. We also ordered a side waffle and biscuit. The pancakes are fluffy and the chicken was very well seasoned. Overall everything was delicious.

in the last weekThe perfect buttermilk pancake – melts in your mouth, golden crisp layer, flavorful without being too sweet. Let’s just say I get why people wait in line for this place. I was most impressed that I finished my full stack and didn’t leave feeling sick to my stomach. Ended up trying the blueberry because it feels like the signature but I was tempted to try the other pancake flavors.
