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

We had a great breakfast! The service was amazing, the food was delicious, and the Bloody Marys were on point. Everything was amazing!

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

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! The service was fast and they made sure everything came out hot. We were seated near the restrooms, but there was enough distance that it didn't bother us. The tables were clean and the restaurant was tasteful decorated. We will definitely be back! 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

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

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

Coffee: 10/10 - I got the chocolate rose latte from the spring specials menu. I got it hot, without the chocolate, so basically a rose latte, and with oatmilk. It was perfection. Service:10/10 - every employee we encountered was friendly and helpful. Our server was especially outstanding because she dealt with my grandma who was initially in a cranky mood, unimpressed and was disappointed twice right from the start of our visit. She was disappointed about them being out of the almond croissant - not the servers or anyone's fault. The server remained kind and patient, and offered alternatives and recommendations. Ultimately, the server managed to turn my grandmas mood around and get a smile out of her. My grandma also enjoyed the dessert she ended up choosing. Overall, I was very impressed. I was also happy with the 2 recommendations our server gave me which was to get my latte hot, and to get the carrot turmeric bisque. Carrot turmeric bisque: 9.5/10 - only because I wish it was a little thicker and less runny. Flavor was perfect though. Ambiance: 10/10 - clean, calm, relaxing and enjoyable French vibe music, beautiful and well-maintained plants (lavender, rosemary, roses, vine/climbing plants, etc.) throughout. Bathroom smelled clean and had hand soap, toilet paper, and paper towels stocked (surprising for a busy place on a Sunday afternoon). read more

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

This place was okay...I would recommend it to people who are very patient, and have time. In this situation I was in a hurry, the food took very long to come out and the servers kept apologizing. As I was waiting for 40 minutes the same song kept playing over again which made me even more annoyed. The only thing that gave this place some stars, was the delicious food! I didn't have time to eat it there because of how long they took due to it being the morning, the price for 4 was mind blowing! Would recommend to come if you have patience, time, and doesn't care about what is around you, and prices. 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

Clayton's Bakery & Bistro - Probably the worst bagel I've ever attempted to eat. - Bakeries Near Me - Coronado, California

The server was unbelievably rude. It was a gentleman and he acted offended to have to serve us and do his job. He was a complete bad word that I can't put in a review but mind blown. At one point after waiting almost an hour for our food he told us "you can go check on the cooks if you want to yourself" "my apologies for not being fast enough for you this morning" when we asked why it took so long for the food to come he said "I'll make sure to reprimand our cook". He acted like a snob with a stick up his butt and deflected blame to everyone around him. His over the top niceties were blatantly fake, passive aggressive, and an act. On the other side of the coin, the food was very very good just unexpected terrible service. 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

Our first visit here was fantastic! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was delicious. We have several dietary restrictions in our family, so it was great to see a menu that accommodated everyone, especially gluten-free options.

Had a delicious brunch with my friends at this locale in Coronado. I had the quiche and my friend had the Croque madame. We also ordered beignets. While the beignets left something to be desired, the rest of the food we cleaned our plates. The staff was friendly and service was quick. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and on a sunny day. The outdoor space is lovely. you can eat here and then go for a walk along the strip. 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

Long overdue review but drove down to SD with my dad a few months ago and had brunch here. Super amazing experience - delicious food with huge portions and unique dishes. Interior was so tasteful and reminded me of dining in a European café. Just super lovely overall. We shared the Dutch Baby and Breakfast Burrito and I got a Spanish latte (probably one of the best I've ever had). Service was super quick and friendly and there was plenty of street parking.

HUUUGE thank you to Abigail, she welcomed us right in to Calyton's with such warm and friendly energy. Abigail got us seated promptly and had a ton of great food suggestions. The Lobster Benedict is out of this world and the Croque Madame is exquisite. Thank you Abi for these recommendations. Get this woman behind the bar, she also had perfect cocktail suggestions too. Highly professional, impeccable hospitality and an out of this word vibe. We will be back!!!. 10/10 for Clayton's. If you're looking for delicious European inspired food, tasty cocktails, fresh baked goods, and outstanding service, this is the spot on Coronado. read more

I come to Clayton's and the bakery next door all the time, I really do love them both! I will say, the food can be hit or miss, as per some of the reviews below, so I often prefer the sweeter options, but the pastries, both sweet and savory, are always so good!! The service is always above and beyond, and the environment is so friendly and welcoming, not to mention the cafe itself looks like you're walking into a cafe in Paris, so cute and quaint! I'm very much a coffee drinker, and theirs never disappoints! One of my favorite spots in San Diego! read more

Great place! I'm here for a couple days and run in to this place for matcha so decided to get some delicious food too! The sandwich was amazing! I loooove cheese even tho can't eat it as much as I would want to. This combination was so tasty and I would definitely finish it if I had more room in stomach. The interior looks absolutely gorgeous where you can see a lot of French culture. In general, I saw a lot of French on the island. The servers are nice and attentive, which I think is creating a great warm atmosphere to enjoy a meal. Will definitely go back here next time I'm on Coronado! read more

what a cute little find. It's located in Coronado area. You do have to find street parking but didn't take us very long. There's a small wait, probably 15 to 20 minutes. They were busy, but not that busy, however, they seemed pretty shortstaffed. Our server was amazing, extremely sweet, intentive and kind, but he was really busy and so service was slow. The food we got was good. I got the Dutch baby pancakes, which I've never had before. The homemade sausage which was also good. We got some fruit. My father got a croissant sandwich which he loved. My mom got a veggie wrap, which unfortunately did not come out with our meals and took a long time to come, we ended up wanting to cancel it, but it came right as we said that and they ended up giving it to us for free. That was really nice of them. It is a very good restaurant, they're very upfront and honest. They also have a side bakery attached to the 9restaurant which serves cupcakes, cakes, scones, bagels, among other sweet things and coffee. It's a little expensive but not terrible. They have outdoor and indoor seating. That would say the food was really good and above average, but given the slow service and screw up, I did have to give it four stars. The entire staff is very nice, including our server, though, they were really overwhelmed, I think. I would definitely come here again. It's a great date spot too, it's also a great place to bring your family. Their menu is pretty big! read more

I've been here twice and review is overdue. Idk I have been obsessing with European style dining since my daughter came back from the Europe. Hopefully I can visit next year.

Food: avocado toast was good and Summer frittata my all time fave it's an Italian egg dish with veggie very tasty and filling. And I'm also a big fan of sweet treats like beignets you can eat this for breakfast or dessert. It tastes lightly sweet and fried donuts with vanilla and powdered sugar. Hmmm incredibly delicious! Overall great atmosphere n outdoor seating with perfect Cali vibes n weather. Absolutely coming back and will try their delicious bakery. High quality baked goods. Price is right. friendly CS.

My family & I came upon this cute little place as we walked through Coronado & decided to give it a try. It's diner style is what got us to come in. I ordered a grilled cheese with sweet potato fries & a tomato soup. My grill cheese was delicious & cheesy but my fries were a bit on the cold side as well as my soup, it was just warm & I was hoping it was hot. My family ordered the club sandwich & a chorizo, eggs, potatoes, & cheese burrito. The waiter was named Jexy & was super sweet & made sure to tell us that portion were big enough for us to share. This place is right on the corner & super convenient. You can park on the street near there & walk around the shops next door. read more
