Clementine Bakery is a plant-based café, and walking in, I immediately appreciated the greenery and the low-key, cool atmosphere. It felt calm and unassuming -- the kind of place that doesn't try too hard, but still invites you to slow down. I decided to order a matcha. Knowing the café is plant-based, I did ask for whole milk, which they don't offer, so I tried one of their alternatives instead. I didn't personally enjoy it, but that was more about my own taste palate than the quality of the drink. I think if I had taken more time to play with the sweetness or adjust the balance, I could've gotten the matcha closer to the flavor profile I like -- especially since I'm more used to matcha with 2% milk or something similar. They also had food items available -- pastries and other baked goods -- along with a variety of drinks. I was in and out fairly quickly, but it definitely felt like a place where you could stay longer if time allowed. Overall, Clementine feels like a quaint corner spot where you could easily sit, zone out, and just be at peace for a bit. Even though my drink wasn't a personal hit this time, the space itself left a really good impression, and I'd be open to coming back to try something else. read more

Croissants are virtually synonymous with butter, in my opinion. But opinions can change. Clementine Bakery makes a vegan croissant that will fulfill any croissant craving that you have. You cannot be upset about eating this croissant. You cannot even be upset if one of your friends corrects your pronunciation of croissant, as long as you are eating it. And yes, I get that I am pronouncing it wrong, but I can't help but feel like it sounds silly to have one proper French word come out of my mouth in my otherwise generic American sentence. Anyway, good croissants. I haven't had anything else from Clementine yet, but I will. read more

It's been a while since I've had an actual po' boy so I'm not sure how this one compares, but it was alright. The bread was pretty toasted but I wish it was more light and fluffy so that it'd be more like a po' boy than a regular sandwich. The ingredients were pretty fresh but the hot sauce was definitely the main flavor profile. 3.75/5 stars. I think it's pretty cool that they give to stay customers a discount in efforts to be more sustainable, but it's worth suggesting that when packing up takeout orders (which is what I got) it would be more conducive to ask customers if they want their order packed in a bag BEFORE giving them their food--and giving them the option to say no--instead of just wordlessly handing their food over and expecting them to carry it around like a football.... read more

My family ordered my birthday cake from here this year and it was delish! I'm lactose intolerant so seeing as Clementine makes their cakes dairy free, I got to enjoy a sweet treat without worrying about it. The cake I received was a 6 inch vanilla cream cheese frosting with funfetti cake. It was truly amazing. Super moist and just the right amount of icing. It was delivered to me, so I can't talk about the service or ambiance of the place but the quality of the cake was on point. Will be ordering from here again. read more

I've been frequenting Clementine Bakery for a year or so now and its just a really nice bakery. Im pretty sure everything is vegetarian but I honestly never checked. You definitely can't tell. They make very good drinks (coffees, teas, matcha, chai etc) with no up charges for different milks (they dont offer cows milk obviously) They also have a wide selection of pastries and cakes. The donuts are delicious! Not too sweet and very fluffy. My only gripe is you cant get any of the pastries warmed up I havent tried but they have a breakfast and lunch menu as well. There isnt a lot of indoor seating but enough outdoor seating for about 30 ppl. read more

Compared to my first visit to Clementine Bakery, I think the quality has gone downhill. The pastries looked delicious, but the taste was a letdown. I ordered the "cruffin" which is a croissant muffin topped with fresh fruit. It's visually beautiful and looks like it has the flaky texture of a non-vegan croissant, but it tasted kinda stale and chewy/raw inside. I also ordered a carrot cupcake and it was hella dry. I was so disappointed in the flavor and texture of the pastries ordered :(( I did visit in the afternoon so maybe that's why the pastries weren't fresh or the best tasting. Other than this experience, I usually love Clementine Bakery. I love their friendly staff, extensive baked goods suitable for vegan/gluten free individuals, and kindness they demonstrate to their customers. But, this last visit was very average. I'm hoping to was an off day and look forward to trying again earlier in the morning. read more

Its not very often I get to eat cupcakes. Clementine Bakery have some of the most sweetest and tasty cupcakes ever. Stopped inside to try a couple of them. They have all kinds of flavors.

I pre-ordered a cake with Clementine's and picked it up days later. I was still eating the rest of my birthday cake -yes I picked up my own cake- a week later and loving it all the same. Love the customizable options and how easy they make it online. Can't speak to the atmosphere of the cafe, except it's quaint, a cute spot to stop at for coffee or any of their vegan treats! read more

I actually love this bakery and have been coming here since it was a tiny little hole in the wall. This one star review is SOLELY for the black female employee who is veiled in black. This is probably the 5th time she's been rude or dismissive with me. Her tone is always unfriendly, she greets other patrons but never greets me...today I simply asked her for more syrup in my coffee and instead of saying, "Sure," she just brings out the syrup and just says in her same rude tone, "lift it," referring to my coffee cup. As a woman of color myself, it saddens me to see her kissing up to white patrons while repeatedly being rude to me. Someone needs to have a conversation with her. I've had enough or her miserable attitude and will spend my money elsewhere if she doesn't develop enough intelligence and professionalism to treat all customers with respect and courtesy. read more

This place is right off the subway and so easy to get to. The staff is always so friendly and you can tell they enjoy their jobs. The food is delicious, I've had a bagel with cream cheese (which is hard to get wrong) and a sweet potato sandwich (the aoli could have been spread more evenly), both of which were delicious. The sandwich was much bigger than I expected and was very filling. Their baristas make fantastic drinks, they always feel special. They have gluten free options too and so many good pastries to choose from. Can't wait to try everything on their menu. read more

Although the cake and cupcakes we ordered taste good, contacting them was difficult . They dont answer their phone, they dont respond to emails- Their available flavors change daily so if you have to grab and go be prepared to walk in blind sided . I still purchased an 8' because I was visiting someone whos birthday I had to celebrate and it was last minute . What saves them is that their the only vegan bakery nearby. Otherwise, flavor was good , customer service in store was good . read more

One of my coworkers recommended this place to me because I love going to bakeries and trying pastries. I went around 4pm on a Saturday, and there were not many options for baked goods. I ended up getting their Sweet Bread Pastry and I thought it was pretty solid. The outside had a rustic bread texture, but the inside was very fluffy. I can't speak to the other items on their menu, since I was coming mainly for their pastries. The inside is really cute! They have plants on sale and a bunch of other items too. Next time, I want to go in earlier in the day when they have a bigger selection. read more

I've been going to Clementine for many years and finally got around to making a review. I remember when they used to have the peanut butter and jelly squares. I haven't seen those in the last year. I've tried cupcakes in the past so this time around I tried their vegan strawberry cake. I was excited to try it, but unfortunately was disappointed. It was quite dry, almost to the point of being stale and the butter cream icing was thin and lacked any flavor. This would normally amount to a 3 star or lower rating, but Clementine has been consistent over time so the 4 star rating stands for now. I will be back in the future, but don't think I'll try any cakes. read more

This is a cute neighborhood bakery. I'm a cream cheese frosting snob and asked what type of frosting the cupcakes had but the employee wasn't able to tell me. It was a bit disappointing that she wasn't more knowledgeable. I ended up getting a red velvet cupcake and it turned out to have regular vanilla frosting. The cupcakes are kept in a refrigerated case which makes sense in the summer heat so mine was a bit cold when I ate it. The cake seemed like it would be moist at room temperature. The frosting was thick and dense. Not the best, not the worst! They have a ton of outdoor seating in the front and on the side of the bakery, some of which is shared with the ice cream shop next door. read more

One of my favorite places. I don't mind paying $40 for a pie, but unfortunately, the girl working the register had problems with my order. I ordered two cupcakes and she only gave me one. Then she forgot to give me the brownie she charged me for and then gave me the wrong brownie. Listen, I am a grown adult. I don't want sprinkles on my brownie; I wanted the (vegan) cream cheese one. Feel free to ask me to repeat if you don't understand. This happened ANOTHER time with ANOTHER brownie. The wrong brownie was good that time, but this one wasn't good at all. I dropped $56 then also paid for the additional cupcake she forgot to get/charge me for. It's on me for not checking every single item right then and there with a line behind me. I also had a couple of Too Good to Go orders that they canceled when I was on the way to get them. Clementine Bakery is GREAT, but they need to up their customer service a little bit. One time when I was in there near closing, an employee said "Nobody is in here at this hour...." and I was thinking, wow, I'm here. I can understand if they are busy or need to charge high prices, but at least make it worthwhile. read more

They must not care anymore. Dry and burnt baked goods.

I heard my favorite place is under new ownership, and perhaps they did not keep the former employees. Yesterday a friend put in an order of pastries and sandwiches for her roommates and I picked them up without knowing what the order was. They only gave me one of the bags and I didn't realize I didn't have the full order until I was at her house. My friend had to drive all the way back. It was a pain that surely would be understandable had they been busy. But there was no one in line with me and there were only two bags on the counter right next to each other. I honestly don't even expect/need super good customer service but this was just like....DUH BRO. Speaking of bro...the queer vibes I've felt here over the years were lacking. This is based on my subjective read of the two folks on shift of course. But another red flag was that I needed to ask for a key for the bathroom door. This is a new thing. Perhaps I'm not realizing why this is necessary. I'm just old school and love an accessible bathroom ... Anyhow the food was still so good so I'm leaving four stars. going to keep coming in and this cynical review may change. read more

You'd be forgiven if you mistook the inside of this bakery for the inside of a plant shop, or even that of a movie set depicting a grocery store. The shelves of this provisions shop are filled with colorful, picture perfect fruits and vegetables that look cartoonishly good. The plants hanging all around the space are also appropriate for the entirely plant based menu specializing in custom cakes, sandwiches, bowls, and salads, and pastries. I visited on a summer weekday afternoon and every outdoor table in their extensive al fresco set up was occupied. A friend and I enjoyed a blueberry danish and pistachio croissant under the awning of their shop, after waiting in line for a bit. I was impressed by the lamination of the dough without the help of butter, and the consistency of the "cream cheese" in the blueberry danish. I found both pastries just a hint too sweet, but that might just be my anomalous palate, because from what I can tell this place is very beloved. I'm glad I got to try it and that a community-rooted vegan cafe exists in the neighborhood. read more

Cute place but the ratio of the breakfast burrito was terrible, 98% soyrizo with a tiny corner of avocado. Could've used some sort of leafy green to add freshness/ variety of texture. Was just too dense as is... overall pretty disappointing :/ pastries and coffee were good though! read more

No indication that this place is vegan if ur just walking in and not googling the place. I'm looking at the menu seeing bacon, chicken, eggs, cheese and whatnot - I order a breakfast taco. Asked for whole milk in my coffee and the cashier immediately stopped being friendly , cmon. Unexpected surprise when I get home and the bacon in my breakfast is fake beef jersey that tastes like ass. On top of that this place is too expensive, service isn't even good for what ur paying. The drinks are good, won't be coming back for food. This place draws a crowd of Brooklyn transplants with kids whose strollers are more than my rent. read more

Cute, reasonably priced cafe with all the classic drinks, as well as a pretty sizable food menu. It's all plant-based, so don't be a fool like me and ask for regular milk lol.

Recently got an Iced Oat Chai Latte from Clementine and it was so nice and refreshing! Clementine is a vegan friendly bakery that doesn't charge extra for oat milk and serves some of the best vegan bakery goods I've ever tried! They sometimes even have samples - I tried a realllly tasty vegan cake sample when I got my chai and wow! I completely forgot I was eating a vegan cake. The inside is also adorable, it's so nice and so we'll decorated, truly a great place to meet up with friends. They also have an outdoor seating area. They're always super busy, BUT service is great, super quick and friendly. So excited to come back next time! read more

Free refills when you get it to stay + breakfast burrito - delicious + BLAT - good, though I liked the burrito more + classic cinnamon roll - great Free mini croissants near the register were a nice touch. 4.5 stars. read more

Coffee was ok and the cupcake was extremely sweet. Service was a bit lacking. Probably won't be back here.

I was looking for a bakery near where I was at on the border of Clinton Hill and Bed Stuy and saw Clementine Bakery was nearby, so decided to give it a try. It was a cute, quaint shop offering baked goods, sandwiches, bowls, salads, coffees, teas, and more. Note: they offer both vegan and gluten-free options here! It was around 1pm, so their options were understandably lessened at that point. The cashier didn't seem too enthusiastic about being there in general and maybe just was having a bad day, but unfortunately came across as unfriendly. As I was trying to decide what I wanted, as all of my mains and back-up options were out, I watched another employee rearrange some muffins and dropped one on the shelf. They tried to act like they were going to take it off the shelf because they saw me witness them do that, then ended up putting it back with the other muffins and walked away. So I made sure not to order any of them, as that's a food health and safety hazard. As a food establishment, it should be a priority to value health and safety over losing a few bucks. In the end, I went with Monkey Bread and a Vanilla Donut. They both were large in size, and average in taste. One thing I did notice is that part of the wrapping got stuck on the monkey bread, so they might want to reconsider how they package it. As much as I wanted to love this spot, the experience and food was just subpar to me. However, with a variety of delicious looking options offered, I'd consider going back for a second try! read more

I've written multiple times about the challenges to find a good chai latte. So many places either make them too sweet or too spicy without any flavor but the spice. Ultimately, more of the good chais end up being just sweet, not spicy, but not too sweet either. Enter Clementine Bakery. Their chai has the spicy flavor that I love, while still being sweet at the same time. It's the perfect combination of both of the flavors that you're supposed to get. Funny enough I had walked by this place for years and never gone in, and now that I finally tried it I've gone two days in a row. I also had their strawberry scone yesterday and it was delicious. Scones are another hit or miss item for a lot of places, and this one was one of the best I've had. I'm so happy I finally made it here and definitely plan on continuing to go back. read more

Soooo this place is great don't get me wrong I love the delicious pastries and the beautiful plants but the staff ?
