Claire's Corner Copia

Rethink before you go here. My fiance and I were visiting Yale and like to trying local places, so we were all in when we saw a diner with good reviews. When we walked in the place was not busy in any sense, we go to counter and order the Irish breakfast and the avocado confetti tartine with an egg added on. We then sat at an open table where we proceeded to wait for 30 minutes. During that time we saw people getting their food who came in after us. Finally I asked at the counter if there were any issues to which I was met with confusion and the explanation that our order had never made it to the kitchen. 15 minutes later we got our food with the excuse that our order had been "rerouted". The avocado confetti had what appeared to be a half cut store bought roll with premade guac and half

Had dinner during visit to Yale. Loved that the restaurant has lots of vegetarian choices. Lots of pizza, pasta and salad options. Made fresh . Friendly staff. Lovely decor and ambiance.

Anytime we visit family in New Haven area, we make a point of having lunch at Claire's, especially after a night of pizza! Order at the counter, bus your table. Food is fabulous and healthy, portions are large. Tip - salads and soups come with a small loaf of bread, you can ask to leave it off your order. I didn't try and substitute, just didn't want it because the salad is large and has croutons. You can get a to-go box for leftovers. Tea selection was good and water was hot.

Highly recommend the eggplant parm and baked goods. Highly discourage ordering the chai latte and bread roll that comes with the entrees. There’s a huge menu and it’s perfect for groups with mixed diets.

This was my first time here as a vegetable and it's such an amazing feeling looking at a menu where all the food is "safe". Everything is also clearly labeled for vegans and gluten free people!
