Soooo this place is great don't get me wrong I love the delicious pastries and the beautiful plants but the staff ? I mean all of them were just sitting around laughing talking about god knows what when they have customers standing in front of them , like you do that in the back or on your break . And I asked one of the girls what something was and she's like I don't know . The place is amazing but sometimes staff can make a place real wack real quick . Extremely unprofessional and extremely rude read more

iced chai with oat milk - 3/5. Not bad but not the best. pistachio croissant- 5/5. Sooo good!! The texture and the pistachio cream inside were both on point. It was also not too sweet. spinach danish - 3/5. The first time I had this a few years ago I was super impressed but I think they changed the recipe a bit over the years and I don't like it as much now. read more

This was my first time at Clementine's bakery. I have heard a lot about the bakery and was excited to try it out. However, the service was piss poor. We arrived around 5:20pm on a Saturday and weren't greeted. The servers talked to each other about relationships, and the sexual orientation of the female server for about 5 minutes BEFORE we addressed them about pricing and flavors. I was told one of the uncut cakes was vanilla. I chose that and another flavor. When sliced she had the wrong flavor and though I noticed she didn't because she was still talking to her coworker this time about how when men approach her she doesn't even notice (bc she isn't into men). She proceeded to put the slice in a box that was now covered In icing from her gloves. There was no attempt to clean the box at all. Without wiping the knife she cut into the other flavor requested. We had to ask for bags, cutlery as well because again the excessive talking and lack of attention led to these things not even being offered. Customer service is easy and I was expecting a lot more from an established bakery. read more

I found a hair in my food and the staff was so rude about it. Don't eat here! Plenty of vegan places that are pleasant and welcoming with food free from contamination! read more

I ordered a custom sheet cake from Clementine and I couldn't be happier! It's just as fun and colorful as I was hoping for and it fit the theme of my son's birthday perfectly. Ordering and pick up was a breeze. The cake was delicious! read more

The most clutch tip I can offer is the discounted day-old baked goods that are offered at a reduced price and are just a day or two old. I've indulged in many a baked good at this adorable plant based, garden and kitchen supplies slash cafe. Sitting outside can be a little loud, I believe there is still no indoor seating or it's very limited. They own the ice cream shop next door and offer the most delicious vegan soft serve. In summary, Clementine truly is a Clinton Hill neighborhood stable for us vegan folks. I suggest the baked goods over the hot food menu if you need to choose wisely. We Clementine! read more

Good spot! Their food is quite tasty but every time I eat here I get a terrible migraine. After three times in which I developed a migraine after eating pastries here I had to stop. It's good but not worth the migraine. Service and ambience are excellent! The staff are super nice and it's such a cute spot. read more

I get the TooGoodToGo order whenever possible! The desserts are always so fresh and delicious! Even at closing time they're a line because of how good it is. The vibe is relaxed and casual. read more

I've been coming to Clementine for over 10 years, and the quality has diminished since the pandemic. The gluten-free pastries in particular have lost their magic, and the space itself--which used to have a lot of beautiful indoor seating--is sparsely stocked and feels a little unloved. I'm not sure if this is due to mismanagement but would love to see Clementine revitalize itself! read more

I can't believe this stuff is vegan!!! The pastries are delicious and all the sandwiches are filling and flavorful! I love the outdoor seating options too. read more

Thought I'd give the bakery another chance to make up for the poor breakfast I had last time and after trying again, I'm proud to say that I will no longer eat at this establishment. I came to the bakery early and ordered the banana chip muffin, not knowing or caring that it was gluten free. Once I got home and took a bite, it was sugary and firm which was nice, but on the second bite, I felt as though someone had force fed me a wet wad of newspaper. Couldn't even get it down the hatch as it was too thick, tasteless and disgusting. Waste of five dollars. Chai tea I ordered was also too sweet. Come here at your own risk! read more

Been here a couple times and one of the cashiers is always so unfriendly - one time I asked her for the wifi password and she made me go inside to look at it myself, so I had to leave my food outside unattended. Food is expensive for what it is. Matcha latte is not real matcha, tastes like one of those sugary packs. Pastries are decent. read more

I came here once to buy a plant and while I was at the counter I impulse-bought a croissant. Months later, the plant is thriving, and I still think about how average the croissant was. It was more bready than it was flaky and airy so I probably wouldn't get one again. However, the next time I came here was to redeem a surprise bag of leftover pastries on Too Good To Go and they hooked me UP! I think the person's name was Akona (sp?). More like ICON-a! For $5 I was truly blessed with so much variety of items and they were all so good! A mix of sweet and savory too! Really made the picnic I was going to extra lit! my favorite thing I got would have to be this apricot (I think) pastry with a big square flaky crust and the best fruit filling I've ever had in a pastry. It was so good I am definitely going to have to go back for more. read more

Bought 5 of the cookies from here- the pecan chocolate chip, gluten free chocolate chip cookie, sugar cookie, and the birthday s'mores cookie. Of the three, the sugar cookie was essentially inedible. It had this SUPER artificial flavor and was way too sweet. I legitimately took one bite and tossed the rest. The pecan chocolate chip cookie was decent. The cookie itself was a little too crispy and sweet for me, but the chocolate was really yummy in it. I couldn't believe that the chocolate was vegan. The birthday sprinkles cookie was inconsistent. I got two of them. One of them was really soft and tender on the inside with a crunchy exterior. It also had marshmallow in it which was really good! The other one was a lot crispier. The flavor was still not bad but there was no marshmallow in this one. I would expect both cookies to be the same- the first was almost stuffed while the second was more like a regular cookie. The gluten free chocolate chip cookie was awful. It had a completely bready texture and it was so dry and crumbly. I took one bite and nearly wheezed from all the crumbs. I'm not sure what was used as the base, but it definitely did not taste like a cookie traditionally. I would definitely not get this again. Each cookie is massive- so definitely a steal for the price read more

Absolutely scrumptious vegan baked goods! Their croissants are so light and flakey, and they make both savory and sweet. We tried both the chocolate and the sausage and cheese. It was hard to believe that the sausage was plant based. They have a wide variety of donuts and cupcakes as well as other pastries. We also tried the breakfast biscuit and the avocado toast, which were delicious. read more

I want to love this place so bad but, after coming here on and off for years, I just feel it misses the mark. The sandwiches are inconsistent and the menu doesn't seem to have changed much if at all in 3-4 years. The pastries are on the dry/ stale side- not sure if I'm getting day-olds or if that's how they come... I feel like we hype up vegan businesses so much, and shy away from giving critical feedback because we want them to stay open but I feel like this place needs a revamp on the menu and ingredient adjustments on the pastries. read more

I came here as my friend recommended it as it's in her neighborhood and she mentioned that they have great pastries and drinks. There was a bit of a line when I walked in, but it moved pretty quickly. They have provisions and small grocery items you can buy here as well, which I thought was cool. I ordered an iced chai latte and a vegan vanilla sprinkle cupcake and both were really good. I'd definitely come back here again to try more of their baked goods as they all looked so appetizing. read more

Pre-ordered a Birthday Cake for pick up since my home was out of delivery range. And of course I would choose the Red Velvet cake! When we arrived to pick up the cake, the cashier seemed to be a bit out of it? After ringing up half a dozen cupcakes and paying, she simply left the bag of goods behind the counter. We had to reach over to grab our order since she was pre-occupied with another customer and did not notice we had not received our goods. Never the less, the cake and cupcakes were delicious. The message was hand written in a pretty script. Overall pleased with what we ordered. read more

I ordered a custom cake for my gender reveal party, and they did a beautiful job! Entrusting a business to make sure the bakers put the correct color without revealing what's inside to us is a big deal, and they did not disappoint. They made sure it was the right color inside and the box had no indication what it was, helping us keep the surprise, just how I had hoped. And the cake was beautiful and delicious. When I went to pick up the cake, all of the people I encountered were very friendly, and the place was very cute. The managers I spoke with, Tiffany and Stefanie were both very helpful and kind throughout the ordering and pickup process and even helped me change my pickup time last minute. I had breakfast there when I picked up the cake and highly recommend this place and will be back- if they were closer to me, I'd be there multiple times a week. read more

Clementine Bakery made the most perfect cake for our wedding. It was both beautiful and SO tasty.

They were more than happy to customize our flower arrangement and also delivered the cake to a restaurant for us. Thank you for helping make our wedding celebration so special! read more

This is a fantastic bakery where everything tasted so delicious, it was hard to understand how it was vegan. For example, the croissant that my tempeh bacon, egg and cheese sandwich came on was buttery and flakey like a non-vegan croissant. The custard in the blueberry custard pastry I got tasted egg-y and creamy like non-vegan custard. The baking skill to achieve such resemblances and quite frankly taste better than their non-vegan counterparts is very impressive. Will definitely be back. I wish I would have taken pictures. The pastries are beautiful and the food is delicious. read more

This has been on my list for a while now and I'm so happy I went! The food - YUM! I got a matcha latte that I would recommend you try if you like matcha, super smooth. I also got their banana chocolate chip scone that was delicious. It was really big and I wanted to save half of it for later but couldn't stop eating it, not too sweet and really buttery texture, it was really fresh! The vibe - 10/10! I sat outside on their patio and it was really relaxing. I spent a few hours reading here and it'd be a good spot to come and get some work done or just catch up with a friend. I didn't realize they had a full menu other than pastries and I'd love to come back and try some of their other food, their salads looked really good. read more

I'd say the only thing Clementine is missing is a bed. It's warm and cozy, tons of plants, natural light and cabinets full of vegan pastries. Sounds like my future bedroom. Cashier is also friendly. Self-serve water station and lots of space, be it communal seating or a row of tables for two--will be back. read more

The aesthetic of Clementine's is awesome. I just stopped in to grab a cake for my friends b-day (he loves the vegan cake from here). I haven't eaten it yet though or anything from here. I was going to grab some other stuff but was too turned off by the rude attitude of the girl behind the counter. From the second I walked in to when I left she was oddly, on this nice sunny 55 degree Monday, just rude. When I gave her the name the order was under she again, with a big attitude told me she didn't have it.. then looked it in the fridge and there it was... handed me the cake and my "thanks so much" was delivered by a scoff and a back turn... wtf I don't think I've ever left a bakery (or anywhere) and said to someone "have a great rest of your week!" and received nothing but silence and a cold demeanor that felt like ::get the F out of here:: I hope she's okay and it was just a one off incident, thats just not cool. Be better :) read more

it's so sad. this place used to be so delicious and such a joy to go to but for some reason these past two months the workers have been extremely rude and the food has been horrible. not to mention they started skimping you on your coffees not filling them all the way up. bring back the good french fries. can I ask for my money back for these horrible fries or is that rude? read more

Very good vegan baked goods and snacks with plenty of GF free options. Staff is super kind. I wish they had indoor seating :( I've been coming here for years, quality imo doesn't miss. read more

I think I may have had a too idealistic image of Clementine's. I waited too long to go so it was inevitable that it would disappoint me. The vibe of the whole place turned me off when I first entered. Most tables were taken by single people on laptops and the employees had that kind of aloof/rude hipster attitude. They did not have many pastries to choose from when we got there. And they also don't have any unique syrups or flavors for their coffees. The latte I got was a great basic latte but it was nothing special. My sister and I split a vegan strawberry cupcake and a peanut butter chocolate chip blondie. The cupcake's texture was on the coarse side but I would still order it again. The blondie was great but I disliked that there was no sign telling customers what it was. We ordered it thinking it was a basic blondie and was surprised to taste the peanut butter. That would NOT be a good surprise for someone with a peanut allergy. A few weird things too . . . They gave us our cupcake in a Chinese takeout box. First of all, we were staying so we didn't need it. Secondly, even if we were leaving, it's a strange and sloppy container to use. The tables are also super sticky! I know this is random but it's pretty disconcerting. The woman next to us literally almost ripped the paper in her notebook as she peeled her notebook off the table. They need to clean more often or replace their tables with ones that don't get so dirty. read more

This place is all vegan, they have breakfast, sandwiches and salads. The bread was really great and the donuts were really nice as a vegan option as well. They have a great cold brew.

While I want to give Clementine a higher rating because of their delicious vegan treats, I can't because of the poor level of customer service that I received. While placing an order, I was greeted with--what I perceived to be--disdain and annoyance. I did not feel like a valued customer, which is important when spending my hard earned money. I must, however, state that today was the only time that I've received poor service. All other visits were pleasant (see prior review); hence why I keep returning. On this particular visit, I ordered an oat latte and a raspberry danish for $10.99. Both items were fresh, delicious and enjoyed in the shop's outdoor seating area. Clementine have offers ample, beautiful outdoor seating on Greene Ave; it's a great place to work, chat, and people watch. read more

My partner and I bought a red velvet sheet cake for our anniversary and picked it up on 12/21. During the hand-off of the cake box, the cashier did not say thank you, did not give us eye contact, had a dismissive demeanor, and gave us a shabby-looking beige box that had its front side open because it was poorly taped. It was a weird hand-off. The red velvet cake was actually the worst cake I have ever had. My partner and I agreed that the frosting tasted like store-bought frosting and the cake tasted like store-bought cake mix. The cake breading itself really did not taste like cake and not at all like red velvet. It tasted like a failure of a cornbread mixture with some other taste. The cake was so burnt that we could taste the bitterness, it was chewy, and it was hard. The cake was just so unappetizing that we couldn't even finish our first slice. Because the cake was so unedible, we had to throw the rest of the cake away. It's a curious thing why this bakery has such good reviews, because after such a performance for our first cake at Clementine Bakery, we are surely never coming back here. Not a chance. There's 3 pictures for the cake, but unfortunately pictures do no justice to taste and texture. It was not burnt black, but it was surely burnt enough that it was hard, chewy, and bitter. read more

DO NOT CONSIDER PURCHASING AN ICE CREAM CAKE FROM THIS COMPANY. I placed an order for an ice cream cake through the Dreamery (sister store next door) website on 11/29/23, with the promise of it being available for pickup the next business day, Saturday 12/2/23, at 12 pm. Despite the Dreamery site indicating closure until Spring 2024, I assumed they were still accepting cake orders and allowing pickups on Saturdays, given the online payment option and the next available pickup date. Upon arriving at the store at 12 pm on Saturday (12/2), I discovered that Dreamery was closed. After checking Clementines, the Dreamery, and texting with the baker, the employee informed me that the baker hadn't made the cake. Although they offered to have one ready by the next day, I couldn't wait as I was headed upstate to celebrate my birthday. Several employees assured me they would process a refund, but the manager intervened only after "overhearing" the conversation. It would have been more appropriate for him to intervene immediately, rather than the 20 minutes I was waiting for the girls to communicate with the bakers while they were dealing with a busy store. The manager informed me that I should never have been allowed to place a cake order because the Dreamery store was closed for the season. He even said he had to close the section of the site that allows you to place orders. He claimed he would refund me within 15 minutes (once he "figured out how to do that"), but to my dismay, I never received the refund. Disheartened and frustrated by the entire situation, I chose not to engage with them further due to perceived incompetence. Subsequently, I initiated a dispute with Afterpay, and Dreamery responded by asserting the validity of the charge. First, if they have been able to figure out how to counter my dispute, why haven't they figured out how to refund me? Secondly, if, indeed, Dreamery does not accept cake orders during their closed season, why did they counter the dispute? Upon checking their website today, I discovered that they hadn't removed the cake ordering option, contradicting the manager's claim. It appears the manager provided an excuse for their failure, and despite continuous disappointment, I have yet to receive the $81 refund. After dedicating a significant amount of time to visit the store, dispute the charge, and now compose this review in the hope of a resolution, it's disheartening to have encountered such a disappointing experience. I have waited for seven years to find a vegan ice cream cake for my birthday, only to be met with this. What a shame. I hope I will not have to take time to go to the store to get this resolved. read more

This is a great vegan spot. I ordered a ton of different items from this spot. My favorite was definitely the Cinnabon and their smothered fries! The fries had a good crisp and were soft on the inside. The cheesy gravy on top had a great savory flavor. It was not as mushy as I expected it to be. One of the downsides is it can be hard to find a spot to eat when it gets crowded. There's not a lot of space because a lot of people come here to study or do work. read more

NYT headline "We Will Never Reach Peak Croissant" -- they clearly haven't tried the pistachio one from Clementine. Obviously all vegan food tastes better than tortured animal juice, but these bakers take it to another level. Can't wait to visit NYC again and indulge in more vegan goodies. Plant power! read more
