Overall I will say it was a good experience. Arrived here early and sat ourselves. Service at first seemed a tad bit slow but I think it was recognized and adjusted as our server was switched out in the middle of our meal. That in itself won favor in my opinion. Everything was made fresh and was served hot. A couple items did not receive a picture due to being hungry and it looking so good. The Dutch Baby and Loraine Quiche I highly recommend. read more

I wanted to try this adorable bakery on my last visit but didn't have time as it was a short work trip to NASNI and I didn't have a lot of free time on the island. Last week, I was able to spend an afternoon and have lunch and chose to spend it here! I'm so glad I did. This is going to be one of those, must eat at spots from now on when I'm on Coronado. I was easily sat on the back patio outside without a wait and a friendly server came to take my order within just a few minutes. I tried the Lavender Vietnamese Iced Coffee and their Spinach, Tomato and Cheese Croissant. Both were wonderful, I did have to have my coffee remade bc it was so sweet it didn't taste like coffee ut more like syrup. Easily taken care of by my server who was attentive and proficient the entire time and apologized for the ratio of milk/syrup to coffee. My sandwich on the buttered croissant was amazing and I chose to add their fresh house-made chips for $4 which was a huge portion (I took half to go and enjoyed later) and very delicious and crispy and fresh. After lunch I went to the bakery next door to browse the sweets and every single thing was beautiful and delicious. They have huge cookies and small cupcakes as well as gorgeous fresh whole cakes you can purchase. Staff inside was equally as friendly and sweet. read more

We spent a few days at the Hotel Del, but ate twice at this lovely cafe in the cute downtown of Coronado. We ordered beignets to share, I ordered the quiche Lorraine with fresh fruit and my husband had a frittata the first day. The beignets were soft and light but the real star of the dish was the lemon curd. So smooth and tangy. I could have eaten a bucket of that! The quiche was so good I got it again the second time we went. The hubby liked the frittata but I think he was expected a heartier serving size but said it tasted very good, so the second time he got little hotdogs wrapped in puff pastry. He shared one with me and that pastry was so good! They also have a cute little bakery next door, and both times we got giant cookies to take bath with us. So delicious. Beware of the flies if you choose to eat on the patio. Hardly the restaurant's fault but something to be aware of. read more

This is such a cute shop! The staff were friendly and the case held such pretty pastries and desserts. I purchased their mini cupcakes - while pretty, texture wasn't there for me and the flavors were ok. I also got their oatmeal coconut cookie and chocolate chip cookie and they were also ok. I definitely would come back to try other things though because there were other things in the case that caught my eye and I know they also have a brunch menu. read more

My very first time visiting Clayton's! They have a wide variety of dishes and drinks, they also have cocktails! I tried the appletini, and had the chorizo wrap! Both were really good, the chorizo wrap had a little spicy kick. The place is really cute, too! The servers were very nice and I really appreciate that! read more

Paid by card, Clayton's is located on the street and offers some small parking lot and street parking. I went in on a Sunday morning and it was busy, but my party and I were able to get seating outside right away. The host and servers were nice, and the decorations were so cute. I ordered the Chai latte, Dutch baby, and beignets. The Chai latte and Dutch baby were good, but the beignets were so hard. Overall I would recommend this place and would go back to try other dishes. read more

Owner replied back to my review. Super weird place that seems to not wanna accept accountability. Blamed the fly issue on being close to beach. Every place is close to the beach and doesn't have this issue. Especially if it's been on going for months and still not contained. Really weird vibes from this place. Owner seems very passive aggressive with his responses. Stating if they were in it for the money they wouldn't be in the restaurant industry. Super weird thing to say as owners. Also stating that everywhere has high recommended tip rates, I guess if you can't beat them join them is the motto!! Weird place. read more

This is for the stop and bakery not the actual sit down restaurant. The food was delicious and the coffee was good. The service was okay, though a little rushed. It's just a pickup spot so it's a little cramped and I would have loved to have a little more time to just peruse all of the knickknacks and options but I felt pressured to get my stuff and go. I would still go back but can't wholeheartedly recommend it without addressing those two issues. read more

Shared the pork & chorizo wrap with a friend - it's pretty big and filling so def recommend sharing that. The wrap was really good but I wish it came with a side of veggies or something to balance it out, instead of just the wrap on its own. Most burrito dishes come with a side for free rather than paying for extra. Still a p solid spot in Coronado! read more

Food was great bakery next store has a great matcha the service was also very nice & the seating was nice!

This place has the cutest Frenchy pastries! The store is the sister store with the Clayton's Coffee Shop. The full name is Clayton's bistro & bakery because they have a bistro restaurant next door. When I stepped into the bakery, I am totally obsessed with the cute decos and pretty pastries. Every single pastry looks like an artwork. Especially the giant macaroons, they are so pretty, I feel bad to bite to break it. Although they look beautiful, they taste awesome as well. The mini carrot cupcake probably one of the best carrot cakes I've ever had, the cake itself is so dense and full of ingredients and flavors. I also love the cream puff, the cream inside tastes the right sweetness and super creamy. I can't wait to come back to try other things. The service is very nice and friendly. read more

My friend recommended this place for brunch so I had very high hopes. Food 3/5: I got the breakfast burrito/wrap and I thought it was pretty good. The portion was huge, and I struggled to finish it. Unfortunately, my friend found a hair in her food. This may be an extenuating circumstance, but I definitely lost my appetite after she found it. Prices 2/5: Like any other brunch spot, I thought the items were quite expensive and a bit overpriced. Perhaps the location contributed since it's in a pretty nice area. Ambiance 4/5: Very cute and aesthetically-pleasing cafe. It was a nice day outside, and we enjoyed the outside seating with shade. Service was average. There's a back parking lot with a few spots for customers that is a little hidden. Recommend parking there since the front of the cafe faces a busy road with limited street parking. Overall, this averages out to 3/5. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either. read more

My wife and I were attracted by this restaurant because of its decor as a classic diner. And when we stepped inside the decor and vibe was that of a perfect mint condition diner right down to the jukebox near the entrance and the tabletop selectors. The restaurant had red leather(ish) chairs surrounding a countertop and comfortable red colored booths. We grabbed a booth. I ordered Levi's banana ricotta pecan pancakes because...I had never had pancakes like that before. My wife ordered an acai bowl with strawberries, bananas and granola. I loved my pancakes! Rich, indulgent, flavorful. I don't have a photo of them because...once they were put in front of me, I tore into them. They looked that good and they were really good! And special! My wife's acai bowl was good but predictable in taste. Our waitress was very friendly. The vibe of the restaurant was chilled --- even though it was pretty crowded and clearly popular. read more

Was wandering around downtown Coronado and was feeling a little punchy so I knew it was time for a nosh. Found a little table outside on a perfectly sunny Coronado afternoon... glad I went in to wash my hands because the vibe inside is so darn cute! The avocado toast was super yummy with delicious, fresh baked bread and my chai tea latte was superb. Service was a little slow and indifferent, but not rude. Would still return. read more

Good, nice little spot to have breakfast/lunch on their patio. Dog friendly too, with patios in front or out back. I had the Dutch baby pancake and lavender Vietnamese cold brew, and my mom had a breakfast croissant and a mocha. We split the two entrees and they were both delish. A little on the pricier side especially for the pancake when adding lemon curd and berries, an extra $8, but I think the toppings were necessary. My mom's dish had eggs, spinach, tomato and parmesan on an everything croissant, around $17 i believe but also delicious. We really enjoyed our food and it was filling for the both of us. My cold brew was okay, felt more like a regular cold brew and not Vietnamese, but still decent. Tried my mom's mocha as well and enjoyed my few sips. Would visit again if in the area. Staff and service was also friendly and welcoming. read more

Amazing customer service and even better breakfast! The waitress recommended the Dutch Baby with lemon curd and berries and it was incredible!

Went here for Thanksgiving breakfast before a bike ride & really enjoyed it! It was one of the few places open and I've always wanted to try a dutch baby (4/5) - super warm, eggy, and good! Chorizo burrito (5/5) was super good esp with the salsa, one of the best i've ever had. Everyone was super nice the only downside was the wait was long (despite them not being too busy) but the food made up for it! read more

Clayton's Bakery & Bistro - regular Dutch Baby & chorizo wrap - Bakeries Near Me - Coronado, California

I have been to this place two times with friends and both times service and food have been 5-star worthy! Food: Some of the foods we tried included the croque madame, egg/fontina/bacon croissant, quiche lorraine, chorizo wrap, beignets, and the dutch baby pancake. My favorites would have to be the chorizo wrap and the dutch baby pancake. The quiche lorraine, unfortunately was cold on the inside but still tasty. Portions are generous. Also - don't leave without taking home a cookie dough croissant home! A bit pricey but for the taste and size of the croissant, it is so worth it! I also loved the variety of morning drinks. Serive: all staff are friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and courteous. Ambiance: Both times I've seated in the backyard patio and it is such a nice atmosphere. Parking: I noticed they have a parking lot in the back of the restaurant, but there is also plenty of 2-hour street parking spots closeby. Needless to say, I recommend this place wholeheartedly and will be coming back soon! read more

What a sweet spot!!! We sat outside, which was great for people and dog watching. Got superb help deciding what to get. We chose the steak sandwich and substituted chips for the most delightful salad. The sandwich was a perfect combination of flavors! The server said we need to come back and try all the sandwiches and I do believe she is correct. Everything we saw being served looked exquisite. The woman across from us didn't touch her lemon curd and I almost asked if I could have it!!! Actually had other plans to celebrate my MomMa's heavenly birthday, but she would certainly approve of our spontaneous stop here. read more

Little but on the pricey side for breakfast but not the end of the world. They don't offer a children's menu. Small space, but beautifully decorated. Smells heavenly from the bakery. French onion soup was delicious. I probably wouldn't order pigs in a blanket. They're bland, not worth the cost. Nutella crapes and pancakes were both good. Service was fine, slightly slow but it was a little busy. Nice place to check out in Coronado. read more

Clayton's Bakery & Bistro - Hot chocolate, in Le Creuset cup! - Bakeries Near Me - Coronado, California

If you find yourself in Coronado, CA, you must stop by this bakery!! I stopped in to buy cupcakes and since I was starving, I also got the croissant turkey sandwich, that came with house-made chips. A cream puff was calling my name too, so I listened and grabbed one of those as well. Where do I start? The staff was very friendly and kind. I thought I purchased what I thought was a puffcake but it turns out they were pupcakes. Instead of making me feel foolish, they were willing to just give them to me. Thankfully, they made sure I understood the "puff cakes" were actually Pup cakes, and created for doggie consumption. They looked so delicious, I would have eaten them! Needless to say, I didn't take them. The sandwich was delicious and stuffed! Inside were small pickles, house-made mayo and what tasted like house-made strawberry jam too. The cream puff was delicate, overflowing with light, airy cream. I could've eaten a dozen! Do yourself and your appetite a favor and stop by this location. You will not be disappointed! read more

Couldn't resist walking inside of Clayton's Bakery and was quickly enticed by the chocolate chip cookie dough croissant. The pros: super cute aesthetic and lots of options for sweet treats and drinks. The cons: there was no prices on anything. It took several minutes for us to be acknowledged. Customer service was dry and careless. The cost of the croissant was $10.78 with taxes. No wonder they don't list their prices anywhere because if they did I would have through twice before spending that much money on a pastry. The croissant itself was large and packed with chocolate chips and cookie dough filling. The top of the croissant had a cookie baked on top of it and the inside was stuffed with cookie dough filling. The croissant was hard and crumbled off with every bite and made a huge mess. Overall, the taste was good but there was too much going on and the filling was not evenly distributed making it way too rich with some bites and dry and hard with others. Keep in mind Clayton's is located in downtown Coronado and parking can be limited. There was no inside seating but there were a few tables to sit and enjoy your food at outside. read more

Great find, will definitely visit again when on the area! Me and my friends went for brunch on a weekday and had a great experience. This spot (as you could probably tell from the name) is both a separate bakery and a full restaurant. There also happens to be a coffee shop with the same name just down the block so don't get them confused for eachother like we did. Service was great, and food tasted fantastic. I personally got the nutella and peanut butter crepe and not only did it taste amazing, but the presentation was superb. They had a nice list of specialty drinks that we all tried, and each tasted delicious with once again the cutest presentation! The only thing I wasn't the biggest fan of was the fact that two of our friends decided to split a sandwich, and they were charged a $3 fee for this.... for just slicing a sandwich in half lol something we very well can do at the table but just for convenience sake they mentioned. read more

The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating! Though their drink menu didn't list it, they made me an iced honey cinnamon latte, and it was absolutely delicious. The almond croissant was a standout flaky and flavorful. The space is divided into two sides: a restaurant side and a bakery side. I only visited the bakery side, which offered specialty seasonal drinks and a great selection of pastries, all fresh and tempting. While we paid $47 for 2 coffees, 2 pastries, and 2 empanadas, considering the prime location and the quick, friendly service, it felt fair for what we received. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a visit for a sweet treat and a great experience! read more

Found this place after working out. We came hungry of course. We put our name down and didn't have to wait long to be seated. The cortadito gets a 10/10. My wife enjoyed her matcha latte as well. She keeps raving about it. She ordered the yogurt bowl and the Dutch baby pancake. They were out of the beignets so we did not get a chance to try. Perhaps, next time. I ordered the chorizo burrito and it paired so well with the salsa it came with. So delicious. The only thing that threw me off was when the young lady offered me a side of potatoes to go with my burrito. I realized the burrito came with potatoes inside already. I just ended up taking the potatoes to go so I can pack for lunch for work. Oh, well. I will be back. read more
