Clayton's Bakery & Bistro

We had a decent experience here. I will say, it seemed like they were a little short staffed. We saw our waiter maybe a couple times. There was another young lady who would come by and help him by refilling our waters. We did appreciate that. The food was delicious. It was also large portions for the price. I thoroughly enjoyed my iced horchata latte. We sat out back and it was peaceful and we could chat easily. Overall, it was a good experience. I think they need more staff. Our waiter seemed to have a lot of tables and that’s why I think we didn’t see him but 2-3 times (take our order, make sure food is good and then check).

Phenomenal. Best meal we had on our trip to San Diego. Food, ambience, service; all were perfect. Isabell our server was incredibly kind and helpful. Oh, and don’t miss out on the beignets!

We had originally went to eat at day and night cafe. The service was so poor over there, the host didn’t even acknowledge us and made us feel invisible that we decided to come over to the bakery. So glad we did. We were instantly treated with kindness. The host told us to sit where ever we wanted and offered to clean a seat for us in the front. Complete shift in vibes. We sat in the back and our server was very kind and attentive. Food was pretty good. I would say the atmosphere was just amazing. Beautiful table and love the lavender and herbs right next to our table. Would eat here again. Food and service was great. Alcoholic drink madame lavender was also top notch. Created some nostalgia from relatives that have recently passed and we are so happy we didn’t go to day and night cafe.

Decent food and coffee, great ambience, feels like a French café. I ordered a honey lavender latte - it was good but not amazing. Pricey for the taste. My butternut quiche was good, light and fluffy, flavor was slightly lacking but good with hot sauce. Overall, ambience is so intimate and cozy, would be perfect for a brunch date.

Only have an opinion on the Bakery Side as we didn't get to try the Bistro. It's a quaint place with a lovely interior. Was able to try some of the most exceptional pastries I've had from a bakery. Only regret was not being able to try more. Ended up getting a Madeleine and a Chocolate Cake Piece for take out. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much. But this Madeleine turned out to be one of the best I ever had. It was nicely sweet, light, airy, and most of all, moist. More often than not a Madeleine from a bakery will tastes like it's been sitting on display for weeks. It's sad that the massed produced Sugar Bowl Bakery version will be better than most fresh Madeleines. Not here though, Clayton's version is very well balanced. It is even chocolate dipped which just adds a nice contrast to th
