Clayton's Coffee Shop

Nostalgic 1940s diner with vintage chrome barstools, neon signs, and tabletop jukeboxes.

About Clayton's Coffee Shop

A time capsule of classic Americana, Clayton's is the only horseshoe counter diner remaining in Coronado. Families and early morning beach walkers slide into vinyl booths to flip through vintage tabletop jukeboxes while enjoying towering stacks of pancakes, thick bacon, and chocolate malt milkshakes.

Local Dining Tip: Bring a few quarters to play classic rock and Motown tunes on the original tabletop jukeboxes while waiting for your order.
