Kinda pricey but the pastries look absolutely delicious and they have more unique flavor combos you can't find easily (the crème brûlée cookie was yummy but a little too sweet). read more

Delicious place for breakfast. The chorizo wrap was huge and quite tasty. The dutch pancakes were loved by all. All the food was good. Huge portions so you could consider sharing. Service was fast and friendly. Outside area was a nice place to sit. I would definitely go again...some of my family members did go 2x in the same week. read more

Twenty two dollars for a coffee and the smallest gingerbread cookie displayed! overpriced is an understatement. you can find better coffee in the area with better service. read more

My friend wanted to meet up, so we decided to go here since we both have never been. I had just eaten right before coming here, so I only ordered Mary's Sweet Matcha Latte, which had a different milk and some extra add-ons. She decided to get the honey lavender latte and an acai bowl. We sat in the small patio out front and it was cute to see the staff clip some of the flowers from the garden for the decor here. The barista tried to do latte art on my drink, but had to change the milk- anything for the 'gram LOL. My friend's latte art turned out so nice! We though that the acai bowl had too much granola and was just okay. While in line, I was browsing at all the baked goodies I would like to try next time. Everything looked fresh and delicious, especially the lunch items! read more

I spent a month here in Coronado and this sweet Bistro & Bakery became my favorite place to come to. The bakery makes the best double cappuccino I've ever had. The homemade breads, pasties, and cookies are all so delicious! You'll need to go several times to try it all! read more

This Clayton's is down the street from the Diner and is called C's Bakery & Bistro. It's modern, warm and cute. All food items are made fresh. You can order lunch at the counter and eat on the patio, or carry out. Breads, small cakes, pies and pastries are available to purchase. Or stop in and get a slice of cake and a cold/hot drink. We purchased the Japanese Milk Bread, since we don't see that in the Midwest. There are some kitchen decor items to buy, and little treats. Stop in to view this new place that opened Fall of '22. read more

One additional comment on my review. I see that the manager here is incredibly sensitive to any negative comments. That is such a shame. I gave this restaurant four stars but it seems he was still defensive. Honest feedback, which I always provide in my reviews, is meant to be helpful to those reading the reviews as well as to the restaurant management. Sometimes one learns more from somewhat negative comments than from lots of positive ones. read more

Was excited to try this place based on the reviews and photos. It was super cute inside, with a Parisian feel to it. We ordered an assortment of things. The Croque Madame was quite good and probably the best thing we had. We also ordered the dutch baby which was beautiful to look at, but lacked flavor. I was hoping there would be more lemon flavor and sweetness. The bistro bagel was fine but nothing spectacular. Service was slow and it seemed a bit chaotic behind the counter. Overall the experience was pleasant but a bit pricey for what we got. read more

The food was so flavorful and seasoned to perfection! I LOVE a good brunch and this HIT the spot on every level. It was pricey- but so delicious! And there wasn't a sneaky 4 % surcharge on our bill- I love the order-at-the counter and wait for your food feel. The pastry's being displayed are very sweet and a lovely touch to the cozy artsy vibe you feel as you sit down at your marble table, sip a delicious hot drink and eat very meaningful delicious food. If your looking for an intimate and deep brunch experience you're in fir a treat. We ordered the croque monsiur -the Dijon and Gruyère really stood out and was very filling! Probably two people could split this and still fill you up! The açaí bowl was wonderful and a dollop of smoked butter brought it over the top The breakfast croissant was very good The frittata was excellent Over all this place is amazing and well worth the drive to classy Coronado! read more

Weekends generate a long line - so either go early or bring your patience. They have covered outdoor patio dining at the front and back of the bistro, or a few indoor tables. Inside is a narrow space but nice cafe atmosphere. The menu caters to those who love and appreciate authentic French dishes and freshly pastries. Unfortunately, our $17 beignets were very undercooked- the dough in the center was not safe for anyone to eat, especially our child. We sent it back, but it took 20mins for them to remake it. The latte was nice and frothy but certainly missed the mark for Cinnamon and Honey as flavor was lacking. Our quiche was rather on the smaller side but delicious and served with a good portion of fresh berries. Expect attendance to be slow due to crowded spaces and all items made-to-order. read more

Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! The best place to eat in Coronado hands down. Food is hand crafted perfection and if you have the opportunity to come here you won't regret it. 10/10 read more

Really cute place and always busy on Sundays. It's a tiny cafe so efficiency is of utmost importance. Unfortunately they don't have it yet here. I ordered to-go beignets since it was so busy. Waited 15 minutes on line to place my order with the cashier. The cashier was able to give me the anons croissant and sticky bun right away and informed me they will call out my name for the beignets. So I waited on the side. After 30 minutes of watching other people who ordered after me get their order And the kitchen staff preparing food, I finally had to ask how much longer it's gonna take for my beignets. They looked and my order had been ready for 15 minutes!! BUT since the staff was so inefficient about deciphering to-go orders, I waited for so long for now cold beignets. I ordered the sticky bun, almond croissant and the beignets. The beignets were delicious, with a lemon custard and fresh strawberries. The croissant is hard with a custard filling and almonds baked on top. I prefer softer, flakier croissants so this was disappointing for me. The sticky bun had hard bacon all over it and was not sweet at all. Overall this was a very disappointing experience. I had high expectations. read more

I was visiting Coronado and needed a breakfast spot to try so we checked out Clayton's Bakery & Bistro which looked very promising. Started off with a Lavender Vietnamese Cold Brew which was rich, perfectly sweet, and it was so good that I even got one to-go. The space here is elegant and the service was pleasant, it really enhanced the experience. We had a few pastries starting with the Swiss cheese bagel with herb schmear, I really liked it because it was savory and surprisingly light. The monkey bread was sweet and soft, and the croissant was exceptionally buttery and flaky. The only complaint I would say is the butter for the croissant was not easily spreadable since it was on the firmer side. As for my main dish, I had a roasted turkey and brie sandwich served on toasted sourdough. I liked how the sandwich had a good crunch and was also garlicky. The potato chips were crunchy, easy on the salt and overall I was very impressed with this place, definitely worth the visit. read more

I have to say, I really like this Bakery and Cafe. They have a great bakery and offer some great savory eats as well. For example, I stopped in for breakfast and had their Avocado Toast with a soft scramble with cherry tomatoes, herb, and olive oil on a thick multigrain toast. They also offer sour dough toast. The best part of the avocado toast was the preparation of the soft scramble and its seasoning. The eggs were soft and fluffy and well seasoned. Simply out, they were delicious. The addition of the cherry tomatoes and specifically the olive oil was just a nice indulgence. I was very please that they use a thick toast for their avocado toast, and that they toast it well. Two pluses in my book. The multigrain was not only of good quality, but was also very flavorful and held up well to the ingredients a top. Thank you for doing it right. The locals love this place, so it gets quite busy during the weekends, especially during brunch hours for good reasons. There baked goods and bagels are a good enough reason to visit, not to mention there friendly service and brunch menu items. Great bakery and cafe. read more

Halfway decent burrito, portion sizes are HUGE. The carne asada was fine, the breakfast burrito has a lottt of potatoes

Beautiful location in Coronado. Stopped by for a recital and came upon this location for brunch. There's many other places that was recommended, but this place caught my eye. Small and cute location that reminded me of Paris vibes. The chairs, tables and space was nice. Cozy place to grab brunch on a weekend. It seemed pretty busy when we arrived, but you order up front and find a seat. The front and inside is pretty busy, but go to the back and outside there more seating. Also, there's parking in the back. Coronado is a very busy town so finding parking is not easy. We started off with mimosas! Everything bagel was delicious, wondering if they make them in house. My partner got an avocado toast and it was delicious. The mimosas kicked in so we ordered a banana nut bread and it hit the spot. Everything was delicious! Can't wait to come back. read more

I always pass this place called CLAYTON'S BAKERY & BISTRO when im in CORONADO and I'm always curious about it 'coz I see that there's a lot of people dining here. But im glad that i finally got the chance to try this place . I didn't see much of what I wanted on their Pastry Shelves , BUT on their actual Menu there was a couple of things that we liked. These are the food we tried: *CROQUE MADAM - Rosemary Ham, Gruyer, egg on sourdough. *AVOCADO TOAST - Herb, Cherry tomato, lemon olive oil in Multi grain. *DUTCH BABY PANCAKE - With powdered sugar and fresh lemon topped with Fresh Berries. *ROSEMARY HAM, HONEY SMOKE BACON GORGONZOLA SANDWICH - With carmelized onion and butter lettuce on a French bread *MEXICAN MOCHA Their Mexican Mocha was really good, it woke me up really good :) . All the food that we got was good, but the one that I mostly liked was the CROQUE MADAME and the ROSEMARY HAM & BACON SANDWICH. I was expecting that Avocado toast would be more flavorful, but it turned out the Croque Madame has more flavor. And the caramelized onion in the Rosemary Ham & Bacon was what made the sandwich really good, and their Sandwich was just so soft, I could taste the butter on top of bread . It was so good that when we were about to go out of the place, I decided to order more of the CROQUE MADAME and the ROSEMARY HAM & BACON SANDWICH and stroll around the mini-stores next to it while we waiting for our additional to-go order. We will definitely be back to dine here again ! read more

There's two locations for Clayton's a block away from each other and both can be crowded. For two people we waited about 20 minutes to be seated. You can also order takeout if you want around the corner (not the full menu though). We got the dirty chai which was delicious! I got the corn beef hash and was satisfied with it. I thought the potatoes would be combined with the corn beef, but they were separate and I was happy about that because the potatoes were very well seasoned. The corn beef was a little salty but the meat is general is salty anyways. The only compliant i have about sitting inside was we were seated next to the window and they don't have a screen to put down so the sun was on me/in my face the entire time read more

My wife and I just returned from Quebec City and wanted to extend our French Pastry/Coffee experience. We popped in here this morning and it was a great choice. Coffee was excellent. I had a chocolate chunk cookie and it was amazing. Service was welcoming, done quickly and with a happy energy! I mostly avoid places on the island as they mostly do mediocre food that cater to our unending stream of tourists. But this is an exception. I recommend this place wholeheartedly! read more

As I mentioned in my Clayton's Coffee Shop review -- Clayton's seems like an institution on Coronado. There's a few locations: *Clayton's Coffee Shop - 40's diner. historical landmark! See my review on their page *Clayton's Mexican takeout -- it's the same location as the Coffee shop, but the window is at the side of the building with a separate menu of Mexican food offerings. You can also order coffee + donuts in the AM from this window too! *Clayton's Bakery & Bistro - this spot! A bit more upscale and french bistro-like! We wandered in here for an early breakfast. Food was fantastic on it's IG-ready marble tables+Le Creuset coffee mugs. I had the avocado toast with egg as well as an apple turnover and doughnut hole but my partner's order, the fall frittata (roasted mushrooms, thyme, shallots & parmesan) served in a cast iron skillet was THE STAR. Highly recommend this one! It was nice that they were offering a Veteran's Day discount. We didn't end up using it (partner is an Army Vet) but it's nice that they offer it. Makes sense since they're so close military bases. read more

Phenomenal food and service. The staff was kind even though they were very busy. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Visiting Coronado is always pleasant. Clayton's is the Coronado vibe. Smart and modern with fresh food. I have sampled many of the dishes. This time I tried a new version of lox on a bagel. It was served with cucumber and sprouts which much to my surprise added crunch and complementary flavors. Paired with a coconut matcha it was delicious. The bagel came straight from Clayton's bakery nextdoor. Our waiter Payton was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and did not rush us to leave the delightful patio. I would recommend Clayton's and Payton if you are in Coronado. read more

We went to Clayton's Bakery because it had so many great reviews and everything in the pictures looked so delicious. We got two cupcakes, a blueberry poundcake and a pistachio white chocolate cookie. It was absolutely underwhelming. I had better cupcakes at Walmart. The cookie tasted like nothing. If I hadn't known what was in there, I couldn't have guessed. The poundcake was good but also nothing special. The lady working the register was nice though and the bakery looked pretty and everything looked appetizing, it just wasn't good. Would not come back. read more

Cute but very small coffee and pastry shop in orange av. Because it is a very small place it can take a while for you to get your coffee and/ or pastries so be patient. Be prepared to shell $7 for the muffins/ cookies / and mini cakes and around $ 17 for most of the food items. read more

I had a craving for a pastry and a coffee before going to the beach to watch the sunset. I stopped in this place and found a wide selection of pastries and there were gluten free choices. I ordered a pumpkin croissant, gluten free orange pumpkin muffin, and I couldn't decide on two flavors of coffee so I ordered a lavender coffee and a caramel macchiato. The pumpkin croissant was flaky and had pumpkin seeds that added to the flavor. The muffin was very moist and was tasty. The coffee's finally arrived at my table, and it wasn't hot enough for my liking. The coffee had decent flavor, but warm coffee took away from its appeal. Try this place but ask for extra hot coffee and I think it would be a hit. read more

This bakery & bistro is super cute, a little awkwardly set up on the inside with a narrow walk space between the kitchen area and the diners' seating. My husband and I stopped by to eat breakfast around 8:15am on a Sunday morning. There was a sign outside that said "Please wait to be seated" but it took a while before anyone greeted us to seat us. When we were finally seated, we got our drinks fairly quickly but our food took a really long time. There seemed to be only one or two servers waiting tables and the tables were gradually filling up so we rarely saw the server. My husband had their French roast coffee and I had their Vietnamese iced coffee. Both were tasty. I ordered the bistro bagel which came with very fresh cucumbers, tomato, and red onion but very little of all of it. I had also paid extra to add avocado because I noticed on another customer's bagel they had barely used any schmear. It was very underwhelming to be honest but I loved the freshness of the ingredients and that there was fresh rosemary in a vase on our table. My husband ordered eggs and oatmeal and also seemed unimpressed but satisfied. I ordered their winter Caesar salad and peppermint hot chocolate to go. Both were disappointing. I also ordered a croissant to go and that was the BEST croissant I've ever had. Moral of the story, if you visit this place, I recommend just coffee and a croissant (DON'T SKIP THE CROISSANT), but be prepared to wait a very long time for your food even if they aren't busy yet. read more

We were super excited to try the bistro we have enjoyed the pastries next door many times. What a disappointment. Took 15 minutes for our coffee my double cappuccino was like water and cold! My partners lavender honey latte was weak but at least it was hot . Our food came out , I ordered the Tomato,spinach parn. Cold eggs the waiter saw me taking it apart never asked why when he finally asked I said can I have a box to take home it was cold I'll heat it at home --- he said ok . Horrible service , horrible food - the one star was for the roasted potato.the only thing worth ordering. What a shame ! read more

I took my friend this Saturday for an early dinner, and it was absolutely wonderful. We wished we had known much earlier in the summer that their hours had been extended!! We were able to sit outside on the patio and enjoy the evening. From the service to the very last bite, we could find no flaws, and we are somewhat picky. Maybe if I stretched it, I would have liked a bit more dressing on my grain and greens salad but otherwise, perfection! We started with the brie, which is not to be missed, my friend had the steak fritz and loved every bite, except for the fries I stole! We tried three different cocktails and couldn't really decide on a favorite because we would order them all again. We finished by going next door to the bakery and getting a brownie and a oatmeal cream sandwich, both were amazing. We also learned that they are staying open later now too! If you've not been, or are just looking for a cozy place to enjoy a cocktail, a bite or have a sweet tooth, we highly recommend it!!! read more
