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!

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 the buttery cake/cookie. I didn't take a picture of it because unfortunately the little flower decoration they put on each Madeleine was crushed and not photo ready after transport. The same can be said about the Chocolate Cake. While no longer looking it's best, it was still exceptional. Dense, decadent, chocolaty, this was quite the indulgence. You'll love this if you love chocolate. It's straddling the line of too intense while still being balanced. Both of these were exceptional.
So other than the pastries getting all beat up during transport, (I don't see any other way of better protection without increasing costs and waste), at least the Bakery side of Clayton's is an easy recommend. The pastries, while unassuming, are of incredible quality and balance. I just wish we were able to try more of what they have to offer.

Perfect place in Coronado for a brunch, coffee and catching up with friends. It was not full, so we could pick our spot and seat where we wanted. We had a winter quiche, very well executed with balanced flavors, and a generous portion of berries. The bagel with schmear, salmon and micro greens was perfect. It was still morning so we ordered coffee but then we had to have the caramel macchiato, served beautifully in a big mug. Everything matched the bistro atmosphere. Abigail was our waiter, should I say our favorite waiter for now on? Sweet and beautiful, young waitress, impeccable make up, hair and manners. She understood our vibe (we were there to enjoy sunny California in January weather), she helped us choose and let us comfortably enjoy and eat. Very European service, we had the opportunity to take our time and enjoy catching up. A bistro experience is not only about the menu, but the atmosphere and the genuine hospitality, and that morning Abigail really delivered it! Thank you!! I know it’s a teamwork, and I didn’t get everyone’s name, but please thank the chef and barista.
Abigail was an amazing server. She said she was new, but she handled everything like a pro! We were here on vacation, and she made it better. Thank you! The food and drinks were amazing as well
I had a wonderful experience at Clayton’s Bakery & Bistro. The service was excellent, the food was fantastic, and the crepes were especially memorable—light, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Highly recommended, and we will definitely come back.

Very disappointed with my custom cake order. I ordered a cake for Christmas and when I went to pick it up it had a few small cracks. They didn’t appear to be that big so I was fine with it since I needed it for the night. I drove 15 mins home (not a bumpy ride) and when I opened the cake it was fully cracked. The small cracks spread to the whole cake. I called to let them know and they just thanks for letting them know and sorry about that. Very disappointed especially since I had the cake custom made for a special event.
