Clinton St. Baking Company & Restaurant

Incredible. The wait is HUGE, but worth every second. We had sangria at a nearby bar, and got a text when our table was ready.

The sugar cured bacon, and the blueberry pancakes were to die for. And of course, the absolute platonic ideal of eggs Benedict. You NEED to eat here! Coffee is also excellent.

In 2016, I said, wow it worked out better for us this year. Immediately upon arrival in New York City, we caught a cab to this restaurant, went in the door (new/additional dining area opened in January 2016), told the hostess our name and group size, gave our phone number, she said it may be a 45 minute wait, but 15 minutes later, we received a text message saying that our table is ready. They told us to go to the bakery (older/original dining area), and they will seat us there. Hostess seated us in the bakery some minutes later at the same table we had last year (near the window), love that! We ordered French toast, sugar cured bacon, egg Benedict, orange juice and lemonade. As always, food and service was excellent!

In 2015, I said, It is worth the wait!!! My wife and I had French Toast that comes with warm maple butter; it was the best tasting French toast we ever had! The sugar cured bacon was really good, too! We also loved the freshly squeezed orange juice (that had NO PULP)! We walked in, asked for to be seated, they told us that we had to wait for 1 hour and 35 minutes, but we waited, enjoyed the meal, the hostess, waitress, and bus help as well. All of that is why it was well worth the wait!
