Located in Minami-Aoyama, Clinton Street Baking Company is a popular pancake restaurant born in New York. The restaurant, which enjoys great popularity in New York, has become a hot topic among pancake lovers in Japan as well. This time, I visited on a Sunday evening and enjoyed their excellent blueberry pancakes with a moderate sweetness.

Enjoy the New York atmosphere in the cute white and red interior

Clinton Street Baking Company's Minami-Aoyama branch features a white and red exterior and interior design. The store is stylish, yet has a warm and relaxing atmosphere. The stylish interior, reminiscent of a New York café, creates a casual yet sophisticated atmosphere.

Although we were expecting a bit of a crowd on a Sunday evening, we were able to enter after standing in line for about three minutes. There may be a wait depending on the time of day, but it is safe to say that the turnover is quick.

The very popular blueberry pancakes are hearty!

The most popular menu item at this restaurant is the blueberry pancake. I chose this menu item without hesitation. I ordered it with hot coffee for a total of 2,200 yen. The price was a little rich, but I felt the quality was worth it.

First of all, I was impressed by the visual of the pancakes that arrived in front of me. The fluffy pancakes were topped with a generous amount of blueberry sauce, and blueberries were also kneaded into the pancakes. Unlike the recently trendy soufflé pancakes, these are classic American-style pancakes, which are firm in texture and very satisfying.

Clinton Street Baking Company's pancakes are so generous that a single woman may not be able to finish them. If you ask the staff, they will prepare a box for you to take home, so you can take them home and enjoy them at home if you can't finish them.

Blissful taste enhanced by excellent maple butter

What makes these pancakes even more special is Clinton Street Baking Company's signature maple butter. The rich, full-bodied maple butter spreads throughout the pancake and melts in your mouth with every bite. This maple butter is the secret to the perfect balance of sweet and savory in the pancakes.

The pancakes themselves are not too sweet, and the maple butter is a perfect match. With each bite, the fluffy texture and mellow aroma of maple spread through my mouth, and I never got tired of it until the very end. Paired perfectly with coffee, the sweet pancakes and deeply flavored coffee were a well-balanced match.

Summary: If you want to feel like you are in New York in Minami Aoyama, Clinton Street Baking Company is the place to go!

Clinton Street Baking Company is a great place to enjoy the feeling of New York in Minami Aoyama while enjoying the exquisite harmony of hearty blueberry pancakes and maple butter. Combined with the cute white and red color scheme of the restaurant, we had a very special time.

On a Sunday afternoon, you can enter the restaurant with only a short line, making it a great place for lunch or tea time. It is definitely worth trying Clinton's pancakes, which will fill both your stomach and your heart. If you are looking for a stylish café experience in Minami-Aoyama, this is definitely the place to go!
