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!

4 weeks agoI went during the week before they close and re open and it was quiet. Great atmosphere. Friendly service and the food is just damn delicious. They have drink specials. Just pay attention to the board. They do make good drinks outside of the menu. Recommended. If you are doing a big group. Reserve and try to go during the week not weekend.

3 weeks agoI can't express how great our experience was here. They were able to accommodate reservation for a large group just a couple of days in advance. Our table was ready when we arrived and the service was amazing. The food came out quickly and I can confirm that the pancakes are TO DIE FOR. Slightly crisp outside, cakes inside...paired with dark maple butter. It really can't get better than this.

in the last weekWe visited NYC just for one day and we wanted to try out this place based on my research and how popular clinton st baking company pancakes were based of the youtube video from FOOD INSIDER. We did not have any reservations available online, so we had to walk in and it was on Wednesday around 11am , being a mid week mid day , I was surprised how busy this place was. We waited for 30mins before we got our table. The receptionist was welcoming and happy going , where as one of the waitress who waited our table seemed to be busy and was not so much welcoming. We have ordered Spanish Scramble and Chocolate Chunk Pancakes. The Spanish Scramble was delicious , with mashed hash browns and bread toast on the side. I was amazed with the omelette and mashed hash, it was light , perfectly balanced with veggies and cheese. We asked for hot sauce on the side which enhanced the flavor even more. However their toast were not great, it would be nice to have some good toast along with the omlette. I so wanted to try the blueberry pancakes based of food insider however my love for chocolate made me choose the chocolate chunk pancake & it did not disappoint me. These were the best pancakes I have ever had in my life so far. The pancakes were so fluffy and cooked to perfection with chocolate chunks in the batter. The maple syrup , wow trying something like this was so heavenly, the buttery flavor of maple syrup along with its silky texture, subtle sweetness and rich flavor takes the cake. These pancakes and maple syrup are truly the match made in heaven. The only thing which was a bit disappointing is that we had to pay extra to get extra maple syrup. Next time I really would love to try their blueberry pancakes. Definitely recommend this place in NYC if you want to have one of the best pancakes in Newyork.

3 weeks agoSome of the best pancakes in NYC! I came as a walk-in with one other person. We were told a 3 hour wait but it ended up only being about 30 minutes, although I will be making a reservation for coming in the future. The food was excellent and service was friendly and efficient. I got the chocolate chunk pancake with hashbrowns and a latte. Would highly recommend!

4 months agoCute brunch spot! I had the farmer’s breakfast and it was a perfect portion, tomatoes and sausages were very tasty blueberry pancakes are fluffy and come with a really nice maple syrup sauce. Tried the hot buttered rum and Mexican coffee - the buttered rum is no joke on its buttery notes! Our server Matthew was also delightful, thank you for treating us so well. It’s a busy place and definitely recommend making a reservation but I’ve heard walk-ins are possible. Looking forward to visiting again soon!
