The Clinton Street Baking Company & Restaurant (CSBC) is an American bakery and restaurant. It is located at 4 Clinton Street (between East Houston Street and Stanton Street), on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York.
The restaurant is noted especially for its pancakes, its burgers, and its biscuits and other fresh-baked goods. In December 2010, The New York Times described it as a "brunch magnet," and The New York Daily News said the "legendary" dining destination was "the city's hottest breakfast nook."TIME called it a "cult favorite". In 2011, Poor Taste Magazine rated it # 1 in its list of the 100 Best Brunch Spots in America.
The restaurant seats 32 people. It is located on Clinton Street, just off Houston Street, which the New York Magazine described as the "hippest restaurant row" in the Lower East Side. The restaurant is next to an 1853 Romanesque Revival traditional synagogue, Congregation Chasam Sopher. It attracts a weekend brunch line that stretches around the corner of the block, which includes New York foodies and many foreign tourists.
The restaurant serves refined comfort food and baked items, which are made daily on its premises, with breakfast (which it serves all day), lunch, brunch, and dinner.
Among the items that it is known for are its blueberry pancakes. New York Magazine called them the best pancakes in town. February is "Pancake Month" at the restaurant.
It is also noted for its fluffy buttermilk biscuit sandwich with home-made tomato jam, and lauded for its baked goods, including its scones and muffins. Its home-made desserts, including muffins, organic apple crumb, chocolate cake, maple-bourbon-pecan pie, creamy pumpkin cheesecake, and cherry pie, are topped with ice cream from the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory.
