Clinton Street Baking Company
Best Brunch in Town! I can’t believe I’ve lived in NYC for over 5 years and I haven’t tried this amazing little spot on the Lower East Side yet. Originally opened in 2001 as an artisanal baked goods spot by husband and wife team Neil Kleinberg and DeDe Lahman, this popular brunch spot has become a favorite among New Yorkers and famous for their blueberry pancakes and delicious homemade comfort food menu.
Their baked goods spread is impressive, including pies, muffins, cookies and tarts and the atmosphere is busy and buzzing – a sure sign of good food in New York City!
My friend and I visited yesterday and despite the long wait had the best brunch we’ve had in a long time. I ordered the Crispy Smoked Bacon and Potato Pancakes which were perfectly crisped to a golden brown and served with a delicious side of homemade apple sauce and a cinnamon sour cream that complemented the tart apples and crunchy, golden pancakes.
My friend ordered the Banana Walnut pancakes which were stacked to the ceiling, topped with sliced fresh bananas and walnuts and served with a side of warm maple butter to top the fluffy cakes off. So delicious!
Their menu is well rounded with Breakfast, Sandwiches, Soups, Salads, Burgers, Pizzas, Quesadillas, as well as a variety of delicious Main Dishes such as Braised Short Ribs, Grilled Chicken, Crab Cakes and Shrimp and Grits. They also serve lunch and dinner (delivery and takeout!), their featured dish on Wednesdays is Fried Chicken and Waffles! Gotta go back for those!
They recently released their own cookbook, and make custom birthday cakes to boot! This place has a comfy diner-like atmosphere in a hip location with comfort food to die for. Definitely worth a trip next time you are in the LES in New York City!
