My friends and I came here to eat delicious food and drink coffee. My friend wanted to come to this place because of its high rating and interesting interior design. In fact, I really liked the atmosphere in the place. Especially the fact that there were a lot of beautiful flowers. They also sell a variety of jams, drinks, bread, teas, and tableware. Everything looks really nice. But as for the food, I was not satisfied at all. We had three different desserts and none of us liked them. Maybe I didn't understand something🤷‍♀️. The coffee is okay. I can't say that I liked it or that it was bad, just normal. I also did not like the fact that many items did not have prices listed. I can't say anything bad about the place, but I personally didn't like it. This is just my opinion. The interior of the place is really 😊

Bakery- 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. Bistro - One of the best breakfast & brunch places in Coronado! The restaurant itself is very pretty, you totally feel like you are not in US but somewhere in Europe when you are inside the bistro. The interior looks very cute and frenchy, feeling relaxed and artsy. The food here is delicious as well, we ordered the croissant sandwich and is absolutely so good, especially the croissant, so well baked! There also so much cheese and meat in it, very big quantity. The salad is very yummy as well. The service is nice too! Very good place.

Clayton’s is that charming little spot that punches way above its cafe vibes. The service? Friendly and on point. The menu? Way bigger than you’d expect—and surprisingly solid across the board. I didn’t meet a dish I didn’t like. Heads up: weekend waits can feel like you’re in line for concert tickets, but once you’re seated, it’s smooth sailing. The space has that retro-cute thing going for it, with cozy indoor seating and a chill patio option if you’re feeling the sun. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area and not in a rush.

We began our morning with a selection of exquisite lattes, including coconut white mocha and honey cinnamon, accompanied by delectable beignets reminiscent of New Orleans. The nova lox and Clayton's Burger were both flavorful and delicious. Stopped by the adjacent bakery and purchased delectable cupcakes for enjoyment later. However, the service fell short of expectations, as the table was cleared and waters were removed while I was still settling the bill and my fiance was using the facilities, creating an unpleasant sense of haste.

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!

This is a great little bistro with superb service and tasty food. Streetside and back patio seating available. The Kale salad and the Ham and Bacon croissaant were excellent. The only drawback was the single restroom ------ a real pain when an inconsiderate person sits in there talking on the phone ( everyone trying to get in could hear her ). Handicap doable . Final take---Recommended

Perfect stop for a quick bite and coffee. There is indoor and outdoor seating with a beautiful atmosphere. Staff was warm, friendly, and welcoming. The crescent roll sandwich we got was very delicious!

Pastries for your dogs 🐕 a little bit pricey but my dogs loved them, I also got their pastries and you can feel the difference in taste, not to give it a wow i love it but it was worth it trying their bread and cookies. However if you have your dogs with you you'll have a great time watching them enjoying the pastries.

when I walked into the bakery I was amazed! The French song in the background was everything! The nice young lady was very kind! However, I wasn't very impressed by the young man's attitude. He seemed annoyed when I was speaking to him. When it was time to pay my boyfriend wanted to try a card that was given to him. when it didn't work because it didn't have a chip the worker said "I can't take this card" in the most sassy attitude ever. I was like calm down, we got cash with us. I work in customer service and the best thing to say is "Sorry ma'am this card does not work, do you have another form of payment" because the way he said it made me feel like he thinks I can't pay for my food. The tone really matters in customer service.

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!

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.

Stopped by here for a coffee and to check out the bakery. They have a good selection of baked goods. Got two items and both were decent. Service was pretty quick. Two drinks and two pastries for $30. A little on the pricier side so unlikely to be back.

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!

Best brunch in Coronado! I love sitting outside in the back. Service is great, they are all so sweet! Love the lox bagel and the croquet madame and egg croissant. The coffee and tea drinks are also super delicious and refreshing! Usually no wait even at busy times, so highly recommend!

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.

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.

Retro Americana diner with good food, location, and prices (especially compared to places closer to the Hotel Del) Food: Oreo shake 4/5: huge portion and creamy shake Eggs Benedict 3.5/5 solid eggs Benedict Ambiance/ service: Sitting on the counter and the ambiance makes this place what it is. The food is good but the place really comes together when you add in all these pieces together

This bakery is one of the most creative places i have ever been. The desserts available are from cookies,cakes, creme Brule cookies, oatmeal pies, muffins, dog cupcakes, assortment of cupcakes,brownies, crossiants,lemon bars,sourdough bread, focaccia bread, macaroons, wedding cookies. You name it they got it. The coffee was instantly a hit. MEXICAN MOCHA'S with oat milk are my go to. Look around shop around I've been eyeballing the cutest tea set here. This place truly is the cutest bakery I've been to in awhile.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

Great food and service. Found this great spot on Coronado, Island. Had the Chorizo Wrap, was loaded with Chorizo and it's definitely big enough that two can share this. Also had Avocado and garlic aioli sauce in it. Very delicious. Great spot to try if you're in Coronado.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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. Highly recommend

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!

Stopped by Clayton Bakery Bistro and loved it! The staff was so friendly and welcoming. I had the grilled cheese sandwich with candied bacon, and it was one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time -- rich, cheesy, and the bacon added the perfect sweetness. I also ordered a chai tea latte that was balanced just right, not overly sweet like some places. Plus, the latte art made it even better. Will definitely return and try more from their menu!

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. I absolutely loved this bakery restaurant its small space but charming. Drinks: ordered Mexican mocha it was perfection great flavored coffee and Bloody Mary was amazing it's a hangover cocktail drink and hubby enjoyed it. 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. Loved the flowers, herbs garden-decor. And Pets friendly.

We waited at their to go window, so that we could pick up food to bring onto the beach. This place is a brief walk from the beachfront which is really nice. My partner ordered a spicy sausage egg sandwich with potatoes, an espresso, and soft serve. The food definitely has the appearance of diner food, but he said overall the food was pretty good. They also appeared to have a great selection of donuts at the counter. Lots of variety to choose from food-wise!

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.

Clayton's Bakery is one of my favorite places on Coronado Island. The back patio is so dreamy & the food + drink are even better! I always opt for the breakfast burrito which is HUGE & can easily be shared. The bloody Mary's are really good & the coffee, as well. My friend and I spent a few hours enjoying brunch & drinks while playing cards. The service was excellent, the food excellent, and the atmosphere even better. I always stop here when i have friends visiting on the way to dog beach. Lovely spot.

Our server was really nice and the food was pretty good, however, the time it took for us to get our food made the experience a bit crappy. The other 3 tables that were sat after us got their food, ate it, and left before we even got ours. We ordered at 11 but didn't even get our food until 12:30.

I got a Vietnamese coffee and a breakfast burrito. The portion for the breakfast burrito was big, but I think it definitely could have been flavorful. The Vietnamese offer didn't taste like Vietnamese coffee at all so would not recommend ordering. I came with a group and one persons entree didn't come out at the same time since the waitress made a mistake when putting in the order. They didn't offer to comp the order even though their meal didn't come out until after everyone else at the table had already finished.

I loved this cafe! As soon as I walked in, I felt like I was in a European cafe. The coffee and desserts were amazing. Before leaving, I also got some focaccia and three different desserts to take home, and they were all delicious. Our server, Meral, was very friendly and professional. I loved all the desserts she recommended. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming here regularly!

First and foremost, the food was so good I forgot to take pictures! This is an adorable spot for breakfast, with both indoor and outdoor seating. I recommend arriving a bit early because you'll be seated right away. My boyfriend and I shared an almond croissant, and it was soft, moist, and bursting with flavor, an excellent start! For our mains, we ordered the chorizo wrap and the croque madame. The chorizo wrap was packed with flavor and generously portioned easily enough for two people to share. The croque madame was equally filling; if you enjoy ham for breakfast, this is definitely your dish. We also tried a lavender honey latte, which was just perfect. But the standout was the Samantha Drew espresso drink. If you need a serious pick-me-up in the morning, this is it! Our server, Megan, was incredibly sweet and attentive, making our experience even better. Overall, I would absolutely come back!

The food here is the best! Loved all of it. Service was friendly and attentive. We sat at the round table in the back outside. During our meal there was a strange gas-type smell at one point, others smelled it too and luckily it only lasted a little while. The other issue was the flies! Yikes! Please get some fly strips or fans, no one wants to be swarmed by flies during their meal. This restaurant has three seating areas; street front, inside, and outside alley. The inside seating is narrow and dark, I think next time we'll try the front.

Love the ambiance, very French! Great customer service. Our server was very attentive and keeps on checking on us. Awesome food! Everything is being served real hot, which i like! The mushroom room was really hot, perfect for the weather! Even the dutch baby pancake, cuz it was served in a grilled plate. I had 2 mocha coffee cuz it was prepared perfect! We will definitely come back!

Wife & I needed a cool breezy place to eat in the heat. The bistro was highly recommended by the Coronado Taste of Oils. Perfect spot, baked goods were delicious. The grilled milk bread my hamburger melt was deliciously chrunchious. Enjoyed the mocktails/cocktails. The potato chips were addicting. Great for brunch and late lunch. All the staff had a smile and were very helpful.

I got a cinnamon honey latte with oat milk here and my husband got the vanilla oat latte. They were both delicious. I also got a jelly doughnut for my son, which was delicious. The cupcake was not good. It was cold and hard and the icing literally was just a blob, so just keep in mind the cupcakes here or not fresh.

The everything croissant breakfast sandwich is light and flakey and so heavenly with the garlic aioli (my mom and I split it and were very satisfied). The Winter Frittata's veggies were cooked to perfection and my mom (who usually does not enjoy veggies with her eggs) said she really liked it! Service was quick and friendly and the overall vibe of the place was very pleasant and welcoming.

Well, let's see. I told wifey that I would be kind because she don't like it when I'm brutally honest . But people want to know the truth and it also helps in making better business changes. Wifey saw a lot of stars and wanted to come see why all the fuss was about. It was a wait but not to bad. While I was waiting I popped into their bakery next door. Lots of goodies in there that's for sure. About 15mins we were called to be seated. It was wifey and our youngest daughter. Both serious foodies As we were seated the server gave us three plastic cups of water... that was odd because they were like cups you give people that stop by for free water. We noticed that everyone else had gotten glass jars I didn't want to make too much of it so we looked at the menu and ordered. Wifey had the Dutch Boy. She loved it was just right for her. The lemon curd was a good combination. It was very different but tasty. Baby girl had the croissant, not sure which but it had eggs on it. And she said the egg was a bit over cooked. I had the Croque Madame and it was good. Just a little too much salty cheese. And the ham really didn't do it for me. Just a personal thing. I wouldn't order it again. The one thing that was a bit odd was the extra charge if we wanted hot sauce so we opted for the free Tabasco sauce . I actually saw a few plates found by with the same sandwich half eaten. It really wasn't a lot so maybe they just didn't care for it either. As a chef, I try not to be too hard on fella chefs. It's a French type setting and I'll just blame it on that it's French. Taste buds are totally different. I may be back... M&M

Clayton's overall was solid, excellent food. You can't go wrong with ordering the French Onion Soup. Our waitress was very attentive and the setting would remind you of a rustic French cafe. P

Breakfast burrito was delicious ! Filling enough for 2. I also tried their beignets and got treats from their bakery.
