Amongst countless cafes in Singapore, it is definitely difficult to find one that still manages to impress you and Clinton Street Baking Co. is one of them!
Apparently originating from New York, the cafe is known for the air-flown addictive maple butter that unquestionably needs to be drenched on every item that they have.
The Chicken & Waffles is probably their most acclaimed item on the menu, next to their Pancakes. The chicken is flavoured with a honey-Tobasco sauce that makes it slightly sweetly, savory and tasty enough to be eaten on its own. However, paired with the soft and fluffy waffles, the crispy texture of the chicken and the soft texture of the waffles blend together in harmony. It might seem questionable, but do add the maple butter to the entire dish as the sweetness adds another layer of flavour.
Do note that the chicken & waffles is a sweet-savoury item!
The pancakes is probably right next to the Chicken & Waffles in terms of its popularity. The pancakes were extremely generous as they were delicious. The pancakes come in 3 options - Blueberries, Banana Walnut and Chocolate.
For the Banana Walnut Pancakes, the pancakes were fluffy and were paired with sugar coated walnuts and mini bananas on top. While everything in the dish is sweet, it was surprisingly not overly sweet even after adding the maple butter. The mini bananas gave the pancakes a sweeter flavour profile but was still distinct from the sweetness coming from the pancakes and the maple butter. The slight bitterness of the walnuts were a perfect match to the sweet pancakes.
Do note that the portion size is quite big and we noticed a few tables were not able to finish the pancakes due to its sheer size.
The mocha and cold brew were not outstanding but were still well made. The mocha is richer in espresso than chocolate, giving it a stronger coffee aftertaste. The cold brew was much less bitter than most counterparts elsewhere. Milk and sugar syrup can be requested as well.
