They just opened up a new section that's twice as large as their old place. Instead of lines there are empty tables now
Nicole YaleMay 19, 2013
Go during February for pancake month. Raspberry + chocolate with chocolate and caramel sauce are sinful.
Daniel CapeMarch 1, 2012
Yes, yes... Blueberry pancakes, sugar-cured bacon... It's all true. (Chocolate peanut butter shake is also a nice touch.)
Giani PfisterSeptember 2, 2015
Benedict eggs it is so delicious
VivianApril 3, 2013
Converted me to a Malt Shake fan! Must try: vanilla classic thick shake! I will always order this there.
ZehavitDecember 13, 2013
The Banana Walnut Pancakes and the Clinton St Omelette were amazing; A must try!!!!
Aline ChirinianJuly 4, 2015
The best breakfast I've ever had in my life! 😍
RachelNovember 21, 2011
Amazing breakfast food. If you go later in the day, it's less crowded. And definitely order the sugar-cured bacon!
James CubbonJuly 25, 2014
I'm from Melbourne, so I know about breakfast. However upon my arrival at Clinton St Baking I realized shit just got real. Woah.
Helen HoldunOctober 3, 2016
Excellent food! Do not miss this place.👍
Eric ChungDecember 7, 2010
Just from the name, who would have thought they have the best brunch. One of the longest lines that I had to wait not in NYC but in the world that I've been to.
Denis SosnovtsevFebruary 18, 2015
The best brunch I've ever had. #1 for a reason. Get a blueberry pancakes for the table so everyone can try it, then explore as much of the menu as you can. Pictured: cheesy grits, Spanish scramble.
Josef SzottenFebruary 6, 2016
Gotta have the blueberry pancakes. Also try a biscuit - they're good.
Jari MäkeläOctober 6, 2015
Their sugar cured bacon is the best bacon around but it becomes crazy insane if you dip it to the maple cyrup and butter mix that comes with the blueberry pancakes.
MeshaDecember 2, 2016
Everything is good..
Al MoMay 25, 2016
Double smoked bacon is the way to go, if you like pork.
KsAccessorizeNovember 1, 2015
Cosy place! Amazing pancakes
💫De'rick💫June 11, 2013
I absolutely LOVE this restaurant!!! There is NO breakfast like the breakfast HERE!!!! #FATBOYTHOUGHTS!!!
Vivienne GucwaAugust 10, 2014
Their omelets are really good! Also, their biscuits are amazing.
JnrlStrMay 28, 2012
Chicken Waffles in 2 hours. The wait is insane for brunch, trying coming later in the afternoon to walk right in.
ChrystopherApril 21, 2013

I never use syrup on the pancakes cuz its just that damn good!!!! The maple butter is like CRACK.
Club MonacoMay 16, 2011
So worthy of Best Brunch title, and home to beloved blueberry pancakes. There's also to-die-for brioche french toast.
AlexFebruary 26, 2015
I liked the blueberry pancakes a lot and the atmosphere was nice. But overall the experience felt a little overpriced and too much of a crowd.
Marq RomeroFebruary 22, 2011
Get the tomato fennel soup and the bacon duck goat cheese pizza. Then dip that pizza in the soup! Main course is pancakes!
Pat C.September 14, 2016
Chicken n waffle is a bit dry. But the Spanish scramble is ace 👌🏼
Doris HuMay 14, 2015
Delicious? Yes. Worth the 3 hour wait? I don't think any restaurant is.
Rachel MonctonJanuary 24, 2016
Maple butter that comes with the pancakes is amazing!
Nikki SyliantengOctober 31, 2014
The hot apple cider is like an apple pie in a cup.
Kelli MearsMay 10, 2013
The sugar cured bacon. The raspberry jam. Eat them. You'll be so freaking happy you did.
Mikala McCauleyAugust 31, 2018
PLAIN PANCAKES and the maple butter. Don’t even bother with toppings... it’s delicious.
Aly OradyDecember 28, 2014
As a person that doesn't like pancakes, I can tell you the blueberry pancakes here are exceptional.
Moussa KhedimellahAugust 26, 2013
One of the best cheap place in NYC for ur breakfast or coffee time. Famous pankaces
Jim CarusoNovember 19, 2022
Blueberry pancakes, latke salmon, Spanish scramble
Nazli OguzJanuary 31, 2016
You have to be ready to wait for 2 hours, but pancakes are really good.
Rachel SmithOctober 16, 2015
If you like sweet things go here! A bit too sweet for me. Even the bacon is covered in maple syrup!
Helen ChaoFebruary 5, 2017
The wait is an hour. Food is amazing.
Heath TerryApril 17, 2011

Pass the 2 hour wait by bringing the Times, getting coffee and a scone, and watching the staff at the empty coffee place across the street wonder what they're doing wrong.
Ashley SladekFebruary 23, 2013
The hidden gem here is the delicious sugar cured bacon! It's a must-have, trust me :]
Hailey NguyenNovember 26, 2016
Best pancake I've ever had!
Alec DadismanFebruary 14, 2016
Grab coffee across the street while waiting. Once we got a text to be seated we still had to wait 10-15 additional mins for a table. Get the blueberry pancakes & sugar cured bacon. Worth the wait!
Tatiana MargaridoApril 14, 2014
you must go when in NY!!! just perfect!!! <3
Liz CargillOctober 18, 2015
You must have their blueberry pancakes! Takeaway to beat the long wait wasn't a bad idea
Jenna Odett LaskinFebruary 3, 2012
literally the best pancakes i've ever had. go for seasonal banana or pear. cash only.
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍July 24, 2016
Clinton Street Baking Company had long remained at the top of my New York food adventures list. When you think brunch in NYC you think Clinton Street. The wait is totally worth it

Steven KornblitJune 18, 2016
