We've come to absolutely love Clayton's Caf and Bakery, and recommend them to others without hesitation! A great place for breakfast, brunch or lunch, and of course for a little sweet treat on those days when you just really need one. The clam chowder and whoopie pies are among our favorites. A huge thank-you to the team for offering such a great experience, always with a friendly smile! We look forward to frequenting Clayton's for years to come!

*Disclaimer: food could be good, I will never know. *
At this point. Most have decided to either consistently bow in obedience to intellectually defunct requirements, or alternately have chosen to only patronize businesses that encourage public gathering, social interaction, and acceptance of all. I am of the latter. Faced with a very blunt and aggressive sign at the door, I will never visit this establishment again. Enjoy wearing masks all day and virtue signaling to people who enjoy the faade of "safety". For those who disagree, I hope the food is worth the muzzle. Just don't forget to take

Great sandwiches, chicken salad is especially good, and unique. My daughter loves the candy bar, naturally. Very friendly staff and lots of seating. They also have tons of homemade desserts.

Excellent sandwiches and baked goods. Staff was friendly and service was quick. I had their classic chicken salad sandwich and it was excellent. I am picky about chicken salad sandwiches, and this was hands down one of if not the best Ive had. Good flavors, just the right amount of mayo, great bread. Highly recommend you try this spot out.
