Reviews of Clayton's Coffee Shop (Coffee Shop)

Melody Heald

I've been going to Clayton's since I was about 10 years old. It maintains being an awesome 50s style diner and it's classic history so well. I love every moment spent here and in Coronado. Go Islanders!

Renee Fianza

Great atmosphere and food. They have a takeout window to the side as well for coffee.

Andrey Oreshnikov

It seems you need to know where to get a good coffee around San Diego. This is the only place so far which serves good coffee.

Charles W. Sanders

Great atmosphere (a real blast from the past) and service, Kris and I rode bikes from Chula Vista into coronado and stopped here. Food was decent, not extraordinary, but the quality of service made up for this. Fries here are crinklecut, not diner style, so be aware of that. Fried zucchini was good, though had a slight canola flavor, and the burgers were excellent, though expensive. A definite place to try at least once though.

Ari Car

Liked the veggie omelette with feta cheese and the service very friendly. Arrived on a Saturday around 930am there was a 40min wait. So bring somehing to snack on

Colton Jones

Nice quiet and quaint mom and pop feel of a traditional diner with super friendly staff and a delicious menu with a good quantity of items without going overboard

Meaghan Bishoff

This is such a cool place. If ur coming on the weekend don’t come hungry cuz you will probably have a long wait for a table. Food is great. The kids love it here especially the shakes

Calvin Brockman

Everything I’ve ever tried here has been amazing.

Cesar Martinez

Cute little old fashion coffe shop

Beatrice Ruiz

Great food..our waitress was phenomenal..love her.

John Tebaldi

Old school diner with welcoming staff and good food. Excellent experience and a blast from the past. Wish we lived closer and could come more often.

Asha Wilbun

Came in on a busy Sunday morning with our 4 young children. They way they accommodated and entertained our children was over the top. Their patience, service and food was outstanding! Can’t wait to go back!!

peter gieblewicz

Great food and staff, it is a very cute place to eat. They have an old jukebox if you want to place some music.

Mary Anne Wihbey-Davis

The real deal, authentic home cooking. Back for seconds. While the corn beef hash is not NYC, it was up for the challenge and I loved it! Croissant sandwich was a hit and today we will try the biscuits and gravy and I will get a healthy omelet. The service as well as atmosphere is great too!

Joseph Hoss

My wife and I had a most delightful experience here. Hah! First. Time saying that in a review, as we just got married. Our coffee was really tasty and reasonably priced. The staff are kind and helpful. We had a great time.

Eliana Abreu

First time we went there was for dinner and it was full. We had to wait an hour for our food and the food was nothing extraordinary, with the exception of the chocolate shake, which was pretty good. We sat at the bar and the bartender was nice but I've never had to wait for so long. They also lost our credit card at the end. Second time I went was to the takeout window at 4:30 on a Monday, so not peak time. The restaurant was at most half full. Yet it took the takeout waitress 10 minutes to get through two orders, including a simple one of only soft serve ice cream. When my turn came up, she refused to make a shake because the machine was too busy. Too busy. During Non-Peak time. I mean come on. She couldn't do the second part of my order either because she needed to find it on the menu and was having a hard time finding it (it's literally the first item on their lunch menu). At that point I just gave up and left.

Tom Hay Bauer

Stepping in here, you might think Scotty pushed the wrong button on the transporter and sent you 60 years into the past. The detailing is perfect, down to the vinyl swivel seats at the lunch counter and the matching vinyl padded booths. The emphasis is definitely on comfort food, but the ingredients are fresh, the preparation good, and it came out of the kitchen lickety-split. Portions are more than ample, and the prices, while not quite at a level of 60 years ago, are quite reasonable by 2019 standards. And yes, the service was both friendly and efficient. I didn't quite get up enough nerve to put two quarters in the distributed jukebox system, once again straight out of the 50s or 60s, but next time I think I will have to venture a try.

alex martens

Good breakfast food and design.

Darwin Dezemo

A busy, little "coffee shop" nestled in the middle of Orange Ave. is Clayton's. The simple decor from a time long gone scatters the walls with old furnishings bringing a rustic vibe that pairs well with the menu. Your standard fare of traditional homestyle breakfast scatter the menu with little bits of flare like the Chorizo breakfast burrito, and acai bowl. With a little taco shop connected around the corner (with an amazing to go counter that also serves the entire menu), there is a awesome bet that the Mexican food is an easy go to. With a great staff helping you along the way, Clayton's is a great stop if you're in Coronado. Weekends are always crazy so get there early and try and grab a table. It will be worth it.

Michael Martens

Best biscuits and gravy EVER. Attentive staff, great food, cool atmosphere. Was fun explaining to my kids how the jukeboxes that they have at each table worked "when I was a kid back in the olden times" like my daughter said.

Terry Tysinger

Long wait and no a/c - AND the best food that I had in San Diego / Coronado over two separate visits this summer. We only had breakfast here (thrice) but the quality of product was obvious and would expect this to be present with lunch or dinner items. One dinner downside, no beer or wine.

Tati-Anna Ibrahim

Very Yummy food, BUT not great service. We came in and sat at the bar stools the place wasn't packed at all but a good amount of people where there. Our menus were closed and we kept staring at the waitress to come over. She would come over and talk to the guys RIGHT next to us then walk away. We eventually just called her over and go to order. Food was delicious and the apple pie was wonderful!!

Renee Lea

Coffee was good. Inside the cafe, it was hot. The cha cha burrito was bland without avocado or salsa served- tasted like a can of chili mixed with eggs wrapped in a tortilla. The breakfast gravy was basic. The baked goods and milkshakes looked good- maybe we didn’t order the right thing.

Joe Valcik

Fantastic breakfast in an old diner atmosphere. Lots of good options to choose from and quick service make this a great place for breakfast.

Caroline Lancaster

Omg okay. I love this place.. like recommend everyone to go there.. but tonight it went down two stars. It was infested with flies.. seriously so many! Okay to the owner.. you own so many places on Coronado . You can afford to fix this. We got up and left it was just too nasty for us and not sanitary!

Deirdre Bramberg

Best food and staff

Brunilda-Dany Zaragoza

Perfect place for breakfast lunch or dinner if you're looking for great diner food!

Raelene Schlig

I love the old feel it had. Mini jukeboxes on the countertops. The Mexican Mocha was delicious as well as our pies and Cinnamon Roll sundae. My daughter had a strawberry shake and it was one of the bests she has ever had.

sam maksem

Good food but server dany was coughing all over it!

cecille casadores

Great place to go when you are craving for some good breakfast of any kind and burrito.

Gourab Baksi

Great staff. Great eggs and coffee. A throwback to old diners at walking distance from the beach.

Kenya Hall

Nice old school diner with good food items on the menu.

Audrey Claire Fisher

Was really looking forward to having breakfast here and ordered To-Go since I wasn’t feeling super great. They told my husband that they’d call when it was ready. After about 15 minutes he decided he’d head over there and stop by a few places to run some errands before they called. He got there about 30 minutes after we placed our order still with no call. After inquiring at the counter they rudely told him they never call and that he was wrong. He explained to her (the SAME girl he spoke to on the phone) that she had told him they’d call and she waved him off and told him he could take the food or not. He took it because at the point we were all very hungry. The food was great, even though it was cold. Disappointed in the customer service, they could’ve been much more helpful and kind.

Jim Cenname

Friendly crowd, nice servers, great breakfast burrito.

Laura Armstrong

Worth the wait. Great wait staff, charming retro decor, delicious food!

Noel Keith

This is one of the best breakfast spots. Classic diner food with a touch of Mexican inspiration. Great bottomless diner coffee. Expect to wait a bit and sit with strangers at the counter. My reccomendation is the Cha Cha Chorizo Burrito.

Brianna Demers

Good food but a bit pricey

Ryan Ellison

Old time diner with the best breakfast I've had in years. Can't beat the coffee or pastries either. I keep coming back every morning of this trip.

Jenna Snyder

Great food everytime. Worth the wait. The only complaint I have is the eggs over medium I ordered. Severely under cooked, as the whites were still runny. Best B&G's I have found in San Diego though!

Rich Latimer

I'm giving it 5stars for how popular it is. Always a line seems like 30minutes or more, great variety on the menu, friendly service.

jonathon hounsell

Great food and service. There is a lot of food for a really good price. If your hungry and in the area I highly recommend Clayton's!

Adam Torrie

The pancakes were quite nice.

Ruel Hebron

Decent but not outstanding American comfort food in the main dining room. The Mexican food stall outside is really did however. Also available outside is a coffee stand with delicious baked goods.

Chuck Kershner

Good service friendly staff

Martin Fredrickson

Food is delicious and the service is great. Only complaint I have is how cramped the space is making it a bit inaccessible for a friend of mine.

Pritesh Desai

Great food - cheerful servers, fair prices. Classic American diner ambiance with red seats and lots of nostalgic decor. Almond croissant was so tasty. As was the coke float, salad and sandwich.

Michael Verdoni

Clayton's Coffee Shop is one of mine and wife's favorite places to eat in San Diego. First, Coronado Island is gorgeous and this little piece of history just adds to it all. The restaurant really takes you back in time. It is loud, cramped, fun, and positively delicious. Be prepared to wait at least 30 to 40 minutes as the restaurant is small and the waitlist is long, but it is well worth it.

Leslie Meyer

Nicest waitresses ever, excellent service. On the food front, I’m a bit surprised people wait 45+ minutes - food was not great. Belgian waffle super dense / weighed 5 pounds, avocado toast w/ tomatoes & mozarella not great (dry toast, skimpy on the avocado, unripe tomatoes).

Michael Mamaghani

Great food, loved it. Everything was excellent. Will come back for sure

Dallas Darcy

Always a nice place to come for some comfort food and a relaxed retro vibe. The jukeboxes work. Convenient location.The service is always excellent. Only downside is it can get a little crowded.

Aileen McCue

Beautiful diner with very nice Staff. Extremly good visited Food was ok for American Food. Cappuccino was very good!

storyboygk

Cool 50's Diner vibe (including booth jukeboxes) except with an extensive and surprizingly eclectic menu. Fair prices, 1st come-1st serve, usually crowded but with reasonably short wait times. Pick up a collectable 40's-50's period apron while you're there and you gotta try their pies and malted milk shakes...unless you're diabetic and don't mind being in a coma. And no they aren't paying me to say this, just a local fan.

Daniel Hernandez

Great 50's coffee shop with good service and food.

Romana Drosg

Delicious breakfast! I loved the waffles with strawberries and the coffee. Great atmosphere and nice staff!!!

Freddy Cordova

Cool local hangout! They have a walk up window that opens up early to get your coffee fix. I think they open at 5AM. They have a island in the center with seating all around it.

Steve Eccleston

Really enjoyed our first visit here. Went with the basics scrambled eggs, bacon, multigrain toast and fresh fruit in place of the home fries.in addition, tried the French toast. They make it with challah bread. The staff were all great with plenty of smiles. This location does not have the flexibility for large parties as the tables can not be moved. The thing that stood out was that they have homemade HOT sausage patties. It definitely had a kick.

pocho betas

Service was really nice. The food was good just need bait of improvement in the pie I got which was the pie of the day which was a bit cold

leia coffman

Omg so cute and the food is so good

Jason Hanna

Great food, atmosphere, and staff. I had the irish omelet and it was delicious! They also have a takeout window you can walk up to and order quickly.

Jeff DiGiulio

Quaint 50's style coffee shop. Very hot inside and unbearable when noisy children sit in the next booth. The food was ok and reasonably priced, especially for Coronado Island.

Carnelia Shaw

This place took me back to Happy Days I kept looking to see The Fonz walking in

Gary Rule

Fantastic and quick service, great coffee. Came here on a Tuesday at 10:30 and the place was packed which is always a good sign.

Shane Sullivan

Usually I give this place 5 stars, but the service was so terrible the last time that I have to give it 3. We sat for over 20 minutes before someone took our coffee order then even longer for a different person to take our food order. Same issue when paying the bill. The food was good but once the novelty of eating at this classic restaurant wears off you realize there are plenty of places to eat breakfast where you don't have to wait an hour to be seated and will sit in a comfortable, open environment opposed to the cramped tight seats of this dinner.

Juan Guevara

Excellent Breakfast. Great classic dinner theme. The place is small, had a 30 minute wait on a Tuesday, but definitely worth the wait.

Brian Becker

Great food and quick service. The Coronado burrito was the best burrito I've ever had

Stephen Olshemski

Awesome old school diner

varalika tripathi

Too much water in coffee(white chocolate mocha and classic latte). Chai latte was good

Ed Wallum

Always busy and the wait was about 30 minutes, but well worth the it because the food is always great!

Anthony Tanner

Fabulous eats for a great price in a historic coffee shop. Totally joyful!

Eboni R.

Good food, coffee and fast service. Nice old fashioned diner atmosphere. Staff is friendly and attentive, we ordered the bagel sandwich and the BLTA. They were delicious! We’re definitely coming back.

byron redden

Great food great service great place a must in Coronado

J Craigen

Fly's, Fly's, Fly's -- Terrible, everyone was sitting and shooing fly.s away from their Food - INDOORS YET - Fly's Spoiled the Lunch. Otherwise food OK, service OK BUT Fly's ruined it All - Exterior Doors were wide open..Shame on Clayton's.

Candi Hoton

Mom and I enjoy going here to eat. Clean, old fashion, upbeat environment, great food and prices. One of the last gems in Coronado!

Nick Balsley

Sunday banana French toast is amazing! Old diner vibes

Ashleigh Payne

So fun! We love this place and go here every time we are in Coronado. Great food and fun atmosphere.

Brian Rohde

Pretty good breakfast spot on the Island but the food is good not great in my opinion. Think traditional diner food at Coronado prices

Tony Ghilani

This diner is awesome. Decor is like going back in time complete with juke boxes on the tables and a step up breakfast bar seating. There’s an order window to the sidewalk for walk up traffic and they’re open very early.

Dave Stoner

Lots of character, great service and delicious food. Huge menu selections and daily specials.

Nicholas Peters

Busy most mornings, especially weekends. Food, service, and atmosphere make it well worth the wait.

kathaleen castillo

very cute little dinner with great staff. food is good but definitely over priced.

Simon A

Good service. Food is fine. Ours was a little cold but the management offered a discount so that’s cool. Busy spot.

Katy Kuhr

When there's a wait, it's worth every minute of it! Incredibly delicious!

Miguel Moreno

Great food, great service

Donna Perry

Great malts, burger, ribs! Service fantastic.

Eric

Great food, love the old school diner feel.

Sue Bishop

Great food!..Great Service!!..Fun atmosphere!

Nicole Schmidt

Super cute diner with amazing food! I had the special, banana bread french toast, and it was fantastic. In the past I've had the acaii bowl from their "walk up" and it was also amazing. If you want a seat make sure to make a reservation! For parking I recommend the free street parking by the beach and walking here.

Bob Davidson

Really great service of American comfort food and juke boxes with music to match!

Clint Dawson

Awesome atmosphere, tasty food and great service!

Mia Skelton

Overrated tourist trap. The lines are extremely long on weekend mornings and everyday during the warm seasons. This place is great for donuts and coffee but the food is kinda overpriced and below average. It is greasy. If you want average food try their sister resturant around the corner, clayton's mexican food where the burritos are large and in charge. Also, better breakfast food for a better price is just down the street a few blocks, Day and Night cafe.

Nacho Snitch

Found this place from a friend who recommended it, best decision. Love their food especially the Coronado burrito.

Taylor Hoekstra

Great service and lots of good options.

James Clark

Good old fashioned diner, good cup of joe.

Glenn White

It's like stepping back in time! The atmosphere and decor bring back memories! The food was excellent and the service exceptional, especially for the amount of people who come there to eat! Definitely would go back!

Don McShanog

Great breakfast and loved getting coffee around the side.

P Lukes

Delicious Cha cha chorizo burrito, but who doesn't live chorizo. Always seems to be a crowd trying to get some good food in this down home classic diner

Ash Jag

We went for breakfast on Saturday. There was a half hour wait. Good retro feel for a diner. Good customer service. Not a lot of options for vegetarians who don't eat egg. We had to end up having the basic avocado toast - my husband liked it a lot. And I ended up with a breakfast burrito with a few bell peppers. it was fine, not extraordinary. Their coffee was good enough. The decor is good and gives an old vibe but food was normal. As I mentioned if you eat eggs you have a wider variety. Good place

Mark A

10 Stars! Clayton’s is the ideal corner breakfast spot. The cozy environment, amazing staff, and flat out perfect food make it a must. There are not a lot of seats, but the workers hustle like no place else, so turnover is quick and we had very little wait time despite the line outside. The breakfast menu is chock full of so many options that everyone is sure to find something yummy. The carnitas and chorozo hash is just plain ridiculous good. Perfect balance of ingredients and just the right amount of food. The staff is friendly and attentive - sitting at the counter, my coffee was never less than half full. Be prepared to be tempted by a display of fresh baked pies and other treats, and bring a big appetite. I haven’t yet tried it, but the fried chicken and waffles looks delicious. They open at 6am daily, but if you just want coffee, they have a walk up window on the side that opens at 5am - this also lets you skip the dining line if you just want to grab a cup and go.

Nate Lott

Great little old fashion dinner counter and some booths. Excellent coffee...

Jaime Flores

Excellent service. I really liked the coffe. Recommend the Apple pie with ice cream

Sixto Siclia

Great vintage atmosphere. Delicious BLT. What could make it better? If the jukebox was working.

Trenton Rich

The best diner I've tried. The portions are huge, and the desserts are unique and everything tastes better than you'd expect. they have daily specials so there's always something new to try.

Tamie Sunday-Levine

I would give this place 5 stars for delicious food, but the wait was ridiculous I think they forgot us. And then our son's breakfast came out 10 minutes before the rest of our table. The food was good, but the other part of the experience was not as enjoyable.

Robert Ortiz

Very good food and service!

Amy Draffen

This is such a great little spot for breakfast. My husband and I loved the community atmosphere, the kind and prompt service, and the food was delicious, too!

Rachel Query

We came with 6 and the staff was super helpful to find us a space. It was a busy morning. The food was delicious! Thank you!

Brittany Olson

I loved this lil place. I like a place with charm and history. The servers were adorable and did a great job. All the delicious pastries were tempting. The juke box was so fun. I enjoyed my food. No complaints just what you expect.

Vanessa Forney

Had a great breakfast here and was able to order a mostly healthy option! I got some vegetables with the green goddess eggs Benedict and it was just amazing! They were happy to cater to my requests and it was much appreciated.

Arden Tran

Cool venue. The food was delicious. The service was good. There wait was a bit long, so be prepared for a little wait. The place is sort of crammed in there tight. The coffee was really good. This will definitely be the staple Coronado breakfast and brunch place to go to for me.

Tayba Ben Naser

Food was okay, would rather eat somewhere else. Servers were rude, had to call them to get our order. 1/3 of the hashbrown was burnt. It took about 30 mins to get our food and the excuse was that the “steak takes long to cook” but in reality i heard our order come out but had a mistake and was sent back, i’d rather be told the truth than be told a lie in a rude way and tone. They talk to you like you’re stupid and dont understand them. I believe they’re racist cause they seem to treat other customers better, but thats just my opinion

Anna D.

Waitresses wear vintage type aprons in all sorts of patterns, straight out of the 1940's

Joe Gryniuk

Always awesome food and service!

Samantha Young

I went to the outside window for coffee and was pleasantly surprised. I’m from out of town and have been trying different coffee shops out, this has been my favorite. I have yet to have a bad coffee anywhere but this place really stood out to be as being good. I would highly recommend it. The donut selection was fun and the donuts were fluffy and fresh!

Martin Crownover

Good coffee, friendly service. I stopped by here twice while on a trip, both times walking up to the sidewalk counter and getting my morning coffee that way. Service was quick and easy, and there coffee was great. I'd love to come back sometime and have a meal here!

William Stone

Very good breakfast place. Small, busy, but very much part of the Coronado local flavor. If you're looking for something other than Denny's or IHOP, give this place a try. The milkshakes are awesome, except they only have these extremely thin straws that make it difficult to drink. The eggs Benedict was very good and the service was super friendly. The diner itself looks very historic, very popular, be prepared for a wait.

Peter Quintana

Fantastic unbelievable breakfast I've had in a long time it's a must do when you're on the island you'll never be disappointed everything was perfect

Cindy E

Always busy in the summer, but always good service. No air conditioning, but they do their best with fans with minimal excess space. Love the home town feel and old time atmosphere. Tasty home cooking; so far I haven't ordered anything I haven't liked.

Heather Welch

Highly recommend! We have only been in Coronado for a few days, and we have already been here twice!! They have a lot of options for those who are vegetarians! I recommend the veggie croissant sandwich! SO GOOD! My husband had the biscuits and gravy and loved that too! The home fries were pretty basic and nothing to rave about. Smoothie was really good! Staff was nice as well! We recommend the breakfast food over the lunch food, just because breakfast is so delicious.

La Bookings

Service was great,though food was dry, very bland. Ordered spaghetti and meatballs and hamburger with cheese. Though will be back to try something different when in town. Small diner, cute and everyone was friendly.

william bossom

Cute decor in a hot spot. Unfortunately that's where the compliments end. The food wasn't bad, it just didn't stand out. I had the chicken fried steak sandwich. Which is actually open faced... making it a platter... Labels aside, the meal was a little dry, lacking enough sausage gravy to cover all of my biscuit. Service was good and they seemed to have a good selection of pastries, coffee was nothing to brag about.

Daneila user

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the burgers were the real deal! Hard to find a real 1/3 lb burger. Service was great too! My server forgot my drink and pretty much all about us, but a different server came thru for us all the way! Admire your work! Thanks

Gwen Kowalski

A must! Favorite place on the island to eat a delicious meal.

Michael Meotti

Nice diner food. I arrived in the late side and not interested in a big meal. They serve breakfast all day and that definitely hit the spot. Good eggs but I especially enjoyed their bacon and home fries. Very quick service and friendly staff. It look as if many of the other patrons were there for their traditional dinner offerings such as meat loaf. Looked good .

Nathan Davis

Great food with a 50s atmosphere

Simple Mofe

This place is a MUST once if you’re in the mood for a “diner” experience. They serve basic Americana breakfast. No special or unique dishes. No variety of coffees. No alcohol available. There is usually a line waiting-which more often than not is comprised of tourists. Parties larger than 5 need not waste their time, this location is tiny and incapable of moving tables around to accommodate large parties

Ken MacMillan

Great food at a great price! We were visiting Coronado and went here for breakfast. What a cool place. We loved the atmosphere, (a vintage diner). The wait staff was friendly and quick, especially with the coffee refills. Can't wait to come back here again the next time we're in Coronado.

Patricia Bandy

Fun atmosphere, great employees. I decided on all day breakfast because it seemed like it was their specialty, I got the veggie scramble and was disappointed, it was dry and the veggies were to small. My daughter had one of the best looking cheeseburgers I have ever seen and a cherry black forest brownie shake that was out of this world

David Thomas

Great diner. Easy location to find. We were seated promptly, and it seems that outside of the weekend it's easy to get a table here. (On the weekend there were so many people waiting we didn't bother). Food was exactly like you'd expect for a diner. Large portions, cooked fresh, served quickly and with a smile.

Cody Velin

Great food, friendly service. Love the old diner/soda fountain feel. Breakfast burritos were delicious!

David Malouf

Mexican mocha was rather flavorless and not even lukewarm! Again. How does one make a lukewarm mocha?!? If you want to come here, it's only because people say it's good... like they've talked themselves into liking this place. Which for some, that's what they actually want. But for quality of any kind, it's not here.

Patti Turkle

Pleasant service. Cuban panini was flavorful but a bit dry. Appreciated the free refill on my drink and sidewalk seating.

Richard Campbell

Awesome place. Great food!

charlotte modig

Very cosy and nice. Friendly staff and delicious food.

Melissa Shubin

There food was the best! All the waitresses and the hostess was super sweet. I will definitely be coming back here

Sandra Hodtwalker

The food was wonderful. The atmosphere was nice.

mary z

Wow! Breakfast and brunch galore! Make sure you fast like 16 hours or share a meal!

Velma Saldana

Staff so friendly. Awesome food! The portions are big. The French toast can be shared ! Highly recommend.

David Swab

a constant favorite! always good old fashioned diner food, coffee and experience. get there early on the weekends to avoid a lengthy wait! we go there nearly every time we are on the island.

Chuck Segal

Amazing food, great atmosphere!

Reef Dad

Good food very tight isles great atmosphere.

Melanie Kuse

Very welcoming and friendly staff. It's fcfs seating, we just sat at the bar. Food came out quickly and tasted great! The apple pie was amazing and homemade!

Matt Mrowiec

Can't beat banana bread french toast which is only served on Sundays. Great service, chill spot and inexpensive. I'd go back!

Olivia Chatwin

The chila quieles were sooo good and the mimosas were huge and delicious.

George Patrin

Very nice place, good food, but reasonably busy. It's also very noisy and difficult to hear your tablemate speak.

Cayla Priest

Came for lunch. Looked like breakfast was probably their specialty. Milkshake was good.

A Google User

Its alright, nothing spectacular. The service is alright. The food basic. A little over priced for what you get.

Andrew E

Warm and friendly staff serves up incredible food. Try the cinnamon roll!!!!

ira sylvester

There is a lot of different items on the menu, got my food pretty fast and breakfast is available all day..

Michelle M

Atmosphere,staff and food are outstanding! My daughter lives in Los Angeles & I brought her here for a celebration meal and it's now it's our fav place to eat in Coronado! In San Diego even! The nostalgic decor really add to the flavor of the diner! Oh and we loved the old jukebox!!!

Raluca Dabija

It’s a classic! Only complaint is the wait time during the tourist seasons

John Altmix

Totally fun diner. Classic breakfast items. Great with friends and family. Or take a seat at the counter and meet someone new.

Daniel Schroeder

Veteran owned, delicious coffee, great decor, plenty of starting inside and out

Tracey Benner

Had dinner here and our first time and loved it! Have visited other restaurants and paid too much money for decent and ok food but after Clayton's, we'll come back here! Food was great and staff was welcoming and service was spot on even with a big crowd.
