Clinton St. Baking Company & Restaurant, American restaurant in Lower East Side, Manhattan, United States.
Clinton St. Baking Company & Restaurant is a corner establishment with large windows serving pancakes, eggs, and traditional American breakfast fare throughout the day. The space includes an in-house bakery that produces fresh bread, pastries, and cakes daily for both dining service and retail sales.
The restaurant opened in 2001, founded by Chef Neil Kleinberg and DeDe Lahman, growing from a small neighborhood spot into a nationally recognized name. Its establishment coincided with the Lower East Side's transformation into a major dining destination.
The restaurant blends classic New York diner traditions with contemporary cooking methods, reflecting how Manhattan's food culture has evolved. Visitors can taste this blend of old and new in the dishes served every day.
The restaurant sits in an easily accessible location on the Lower East Side with ample window seating for street viewing. Breakfast and lunch service operates on a walk-in basis, though reservations are available for dinner groups.
The in-house bakery operates as more than just a restaurant service element, selling fresh products directly to retail customers as a separate operation. Few visitors realize this side business exists alongside the main dining experience.
