"Beloved in Brooklyn and beyond, Clementine Bakery brings unparalleled deliciousness to formerly boring and bland vegan and gluten-free baked goods. One taste and even those of us who are not vegan or gluten-free won't look back. Stop in for a sweet treat and leave with a whole bag of goodies because you couldn't choose just one. Now just try not to eat them all before you get home." - Makewell
"When we eat a vegan croissant, we usually say, “That’s pretty good, but we still miss the butter.” But we don’t say that at Clementine. This bakery and cafe in Clinton Hill has a full range of sweets like cupcakes and donuts, but the best items are the flaky pastries (the pain au chocolat and the chocolate banana kouign-amann, for example). For something savory, get the breakfast burrito with maple tempeh bacon or the crispy buffalo cauliflower with a tasty dill ranch sauce." - neha talreja, bryan kim, kenny yang, willa moore
"When we eat a vegan croissant, we usually say, “That’s pretty good, but we still miss the butter.” But we don’t say that at Clementine. This bakery and cafe in Clinton Hill serves a full range of sweets like cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and donuts, but the best items are the flaky things (the pain au chocolat and the chocolate banana kouign-amann, for example). For something savory, get the BEC breakfast taco on a burrito-size flour tortilla—a great deal at $6—or the crispy buffalo cauliflower with a tasty dill ranch sauce. There are no tables inside, but there’s plenty of outdoor seating, which is always shaded because of the big trees on Greene Avenue." - Kenny Yang
"I wanted a pastry from Pilar, but they were closed so we walked farther to Clementine, which is vegan. We got some poppin’ strawberry vegan cream-cheese Danishes. I had never experienced a vegan version of that. I was very impressed! I have to note I don’t have a gigantic sweet tooth. It just really has to hit me. I also picked up a super-chunky fudge-y walnut brownie they had."
"Clementine Bakery does vegan cakes like Sacha Baron Cohen does political satire. Plus, they’ve got a great breakfast burrito and sandwiches with things like tempeh bacon and sage aioli on their all-day vegan menu. They’re open from 9am-5pm daily." - Nikko Duren
