    Really disappointed experience. Our friends recommended it to us as one of the best branch spot in San Diego. The wait time was around an hour and then we had to wait for another 40 minutes just to get our water and place an order and then we waited another 40 minutes to get our food. The croissant was soggy, completely soaked and just felt apart - really disappointing. The steak was okay, but a lil chewy and overall is too much flavor for the sandwich. The coffee was strong bur watery. Unfortunately we couldn't enjoy the place at all

    This is such a lovely bistro in Coronado, nestled in between the gym and another cafe, Clayton's Bakery & Bistro is a quaint spot for a sweet treat and some French-style food. We came during their happy hour which is daily from 3pm-7pm! Enjoyed a nice espresso martini which was seriously delicious, on their patio. Although my meal wasn't very French style at all, I still had an amazing steak sandwich and fries. The steak sandwich was dripping with juices, and sandwiched in between ciabatta roll, which was toasted and warm. It was recommended by our server, and I thank her for her recs! Lastly, we got to try some of their desserts. They were all delicious, and I enjoyed their Moon Pie the most. We actually had a hiccup with our meal (found something in the sandwich), but the service remained professional and was taken seriously. The food here is tasty, though and everyone is friendly. Through all that, I would still consider revisiting Clayton's again.

    Stopped in to try a few sweet treats- the place is so lovely and quaint! There were many amazing sweet options to choose from I had a hard time deciding ! I tried the Manhattan cookie and macaroons, which were very flavorful and delicious. Would definitely love to come back to try additional food and beverage items!

    What a charming bistro and bakery for a Sunday brunch. Lovely French music and flair. We checked out the bakery while waiting. The last cinnamon roll had our name all over it. Sooo good. Chaga matcha mushroom latter with almond had a strong earthy and sweet flavor to it. Hit the spot. Veggie wrap with truffle fries no cheese was fresh, filling and delicious! Perfect weather to sit on front patio and enjoy Coronado.

    We stopped in for Sunday brunch after church and only had a short wait for a table for two. The service was prompt, welcoming, and very sweet and helpful. We chose to sit on the charming, cozy patio, which made for a really pleasant atmosphere. The drinks took a little while to arrive, but the rest of the service was excellent. The food was scrumptious--fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I also love that they have a bakery and coffee shop attached, which is such a nice bonus.

    Dutch pancake & beignets

    My favorite breakfast spot in San Diego! However recently they changed their service model where instead of ordering as you enter and the food is brought to you, they have the traditional waitress service and that has resulted in significant delays in the food coming to the tables! Other than than the food in amazing and the waitresses are cordial and polite.

    This place is very cute. But the food is even better! Had a Hugo spritz, steak sandwich, and beignets. Really good dinner that was filling.

    So amazing! I'll admit I'm more of a breakfast person so I've never ordered a sandwich. The B.L.T was so good, made with applewood bacon, crisp fresh lettuce, garlic aioli on a toasted delicious croissant with everything seasoning . The best seating of course is in the back and pro tip they have a little parking lot in the alley. 9/10 recommended!!

    Was walking by and my wife and decided to try this today. Wow what a great treat! Outstanding menu, great drinks, friendly service. I couldn't decide and had to order both croque madame and Dutch pancake. My wife got farmhouse frittata. Everything was delicious. My mocha had just the right chocolate grated over thick whip cream. Very happy to have found this place.

    OMG.... We love this place. 2nd time coming here. We had to try their croissant sandwiches. They were HUGE and delicious. You can most definitely taste the quality. Customer service is on point & the ambiance is memorable. We can't wait to go back to try other menu items.

    Several locations- look for the bakery and bistro

    We love coming here. We came here for Valentine's Day brunch. Waited less than 20mins. Great fresh baked goods and breakfast/ lunch meal. Decorations and plate setting makes me feel like I'm in Europe somewhere.

    Stopped in Sunday while attending a convention at the Lowe's. Sat out on the patio and started with a glass of orange juice. Everything on the menu looked delicious, but I decided to go with the breakfast plate, scrambled eggs, ham, potatoes and sourdough toast. Everything was delishes. Nice place for one or two people (maybe four) but not for larger groups.

Drinks came out timely (ok drinks) but we had an awkward interaction about our order. First of all, once it was ready nobody called it out and they just placed it on the counter. When my partner approached to ask if it was ours "fruitella crepe?", cashier said "did you order Nutella crepe", my partner said yes but with fruits. Then cashier looked at the cook and asked "is it frutella?" she then looked at my partner asking what we order. He repeated himself twice but it felt like between cashier and cook they kept asking the same question over and over again. After being asked multiple times (and being the only people inside) we have established that this was our order after all. This all could be avoided by......drumroll.....announcing food order at the first place.

Since we had never tried a European-style café before, we thought we'd give it a shot. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. Everything from the food to the ambiance and overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The paninis were unbelievably bland -- they really need some kind of sauce or spread because they had almost no flavor at all. On top of that, the prices were surprisingly high for what we received. The desserts were around $11 each, and they didn't even taste fresh. The bread pudding was so hard we could barely get our fork through it. The only redeeming thing about this place is the location. Otherwise, the tables and floors looked unclean, which made the whole experience even more off-putting. This restaurant really needs to revisit its menu and overall upkeep because, as it stands, it's not a place we'd return to.

I really enjoyed the chocolate and my boyfriend enjoyed his plain croissant. The team here is very attentive. They definitely clean the tables right away ready for the next patron which I appreciate. Great spot to try while visiting San Diego.
