Clinton Street Bakery

Some of the best pancakes I've ever had!

If you're after a western style breakfast when you're in Tokyo, and you also want somewhere with a reasonably early opening time - check out Clinton Street Bakery! The original Clinton Street Bakery was opened in Manhattan, New York - and it became so popular that even Lonely Planet called it New York's Number One breakfast spot - pretty high praise right there! The Tokyo location is in Minami Aoyama, just a short walk from the Omotesando train station. During the week the store is open from 9am until 9pm, and on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays they open from 8am until 9pm. Most menu items sit between 1500-2000 yen, and if I had to make a recommendation I'd absolutely say the pancakes are the way to go. My husband highly rates their smoked salmon eggs benedict too! They also offer a wide range of meal options that are suitable for lunch or dinner, such as Po' Boy sandwiches and fish and chips. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the Tokyo area!
