Breakfast Menu 2025.08

Nothing fancy, just decently priced good food. Plenty of parking. Extremely pleasant staff.

Coffee mugs

Happened to find this spot while searching on Yelp for breakfast places around Hammonasset Beach State Park. This place delivered big time with amazing service and delicious food. "New England charm" meets " everybody knows your name " kind of place and we love it! Adorable coffee mugs and cute juice glasses, huge pancakes and the pieces of fruit that came with our eggs dishes , everything that I was expecting and more !!

Half order of oatmeal with fruit. Blueberry muffin, and tea

Wonderful service! Nice outdoor seating, so I could bring my dog. Delicious food. Highly recommend for breakfast! The inside is dated but in a very quaint way. Just what you want a diner to be. They got those thick coffee mugs too.

Meatloaf Lunch with Real Mashed Potatoes and cup of Beefy Gravy with a Side Salad

We have been here repeatedly over the years and always get the best service and consistently great food. Both breakfast and lunch menus are excellent. Fresh ingredients and strong coffee! Reminds me of my best friend's mom's restaurant back in rural Minnesota where everyone knew each other and they cook for you like your family.

Great little restaurant in the center of Clinton. I had an egg omelette. They give you numerous options for your omelette. I got egg whites, spinach and roasted peppers. They also give you a large selection of sides, I got the home fries. I also got the wheat toast. The omelette was delicious along with the fries. They gave you an endless cup of coffee and made sure it was always full. You pay your bill on line at your table, which makes it easy to check out. If you are looking for a nice place for breakfast, this is the place. It also has a parking lot in the back.

Who doesn't serve breakfast all day? I thought breakfast was by far the most profitable meal of…read morethe day and hence restaurants would never NOT serve breakfast. No matter, we were there before 11AM so we were served breakfast. The server we had was excellent she was a former employee of the Coffee Break which was the old restaurant in this location. The place is LOUD. The decor is new and refreshed. There is NO WHEEL CHAIR ACCESS (which surprised me as they just renovated the place. One would think the Town of Clinton would have required it.) I had the Breakfast Wrap with sausage and american cheese. It was good and filling. $7.00 (in May 2026) My companion had the Quinoa Omelette pictured 1/2 eaten ($14.75 in May 2026) which was good. The home fries had a little too much salt but were otherwise excellent. Personally when there is salt actually on the table, I always wonder why the cook just lightly dusts with salt as I can add more. We also ordered a fresh fruit cup which had grapes purple and green, strawberries, and a few hard pieces of honey dew melon. $6.50 (May 2026) In May 2026 the hours are 0700-1430 MON - SAT 0700-1200 SUN ****WARNING**** They stop servicing breakfast items at 11AM They do take credit cards BUT... They used to take it right at the table now, they don't which means you wait to pay. Bad move on the owner's part. There is plenty of free parking. I imagine there will be waits once the summer season gets going so plan to wait (maybe on the weekends)?

For those who may not know, Cocotte is having to close its doors at the end of August, despite…read morebeing a thriving business. Completely unique, it was a place where you could stop in for a light meal prepared by a world-class chef in a lovely historically significant building. With many regular customers returning weekly, Cocotte was a meeting place, a community, a casual yet special restaurant to meet old friends, to make new ones, and to enjoy a chat with Chef. The food was exceptional, prepared with an intolerance for anything less than the highest of standards, with an abiding and generous love for delicious cuisine. Nowhere else on the shoreline will one find tartiflette, escargot, and raclette together on the menu alongside delicious cocottes, omelettes, and perfect French salads, to be followed by a gorgeous selection of desserts. The finest French teas, lavender lemonade, robust New Orleans coffee, and gelato in flavors like blood orange or amaretto cherry. The chef and his wife sought to offer a place that was unique and special to the region, including traditional French pantry items, cook's tools, and other beautiful merchandise. Several customers were known to travel from afar for their almond croissants. Local residents will be hard-pressed to find such a place with its relaxed atmosphere, paying homage to its history, appreciating its original lovely antique architectural details, where the diner would never be rushed, in a world where most of our dining choices value the bottom line far more than relationships and a traditional dining experience. It is these very special characteristics that made Cocotte completely beloved and valued by its discerning and cultured clientele, who packed into the restaurant during its last weeks, wanting to experience Cocotte for one last time, express their appreciation, and to say goodbye. 323 Main Street, with so many lives and histories held within your time-worn, dignified and softly age-mellowed walls, surely the story of Cocotte will be one of your favorite memories.

I went with the Croque Cajun which was absolutely delicious. The sauce on the toast had so much flavor and it went perfectly with the shrimp. We also had to try their desserts. We got 3 macarons and wow they were incredible. Really light and crispy on the outside and soft and chewy inside. Would come back just to get some more of those!
