Clayton's Bakery & Bistro

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 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.
