Join us at Ivy and savor a thoughtfully curated menu of handcrafted coffee drinks, beautifully composed plates, artisanal cocktails, and a well-chosen selection of wines.
By day, we’re known for our signature tartines—made with care, layered with intention, and served with artistic flair. Breakfast and lunch guests are welcomed by the aroma of freshly ground espresso and a menu that balances health-forward favorites with moments of indulgence.
In the evening, Ivy transforms into a warm wine house, offering a collection of premier wines designed to complement our flavorful mains and shareable small plates.
Whenever possible, we source locally to bring the freshest, highest-quality, and most nutrient-rich ingredients to your table.
Made From Scratch
Meet Julie Blackerby, the founder and heart behind Ivy. Since opening in 2022, Ivy has grown under Julie’s thoughtful vision into a beloved gathering place for both locals and visitors.
Driven by a passion for creating meaningful experiences, Julie set out to build more than a restaurant—she envisioned a space woven into the daily rhythm of the community. From the draw of a carefully crafted latte to the warmth of an intimate dinner shared with loved ones, every detail at Ivy is designed to invite connection. Even the handmade ceramic pieces, created by Julie herself, reflect the care and creativity at the heart of the space.
Julie’s dedication to culinary artistry, hospitality, and community has shaped Ivy into a cherished Clayton staple—a place to slow down, savor simple pleasures, and feel truly at home.
Our Approach
The genesis of Ivy was a passion for fresh baked sourdough bread. We wanted to introduce a vibrant medley of flavors, textures, and colors to the traditional hand-crafted French open face sandwich, the tartine.
Connecting to our community by way of nourishing dishes and tasteful drinks, and locally sourcing as many ingredients as possible is our approach.
We've placed plants throughout the dining area to bring life to the setting and influence a connection with the energy in the room and the food being enjoyed. Visitors love our plant wall ♥️
Our Espresso
The espresso beans used in our lattes are medium roasted in the Southern Italian style that holds a golden color when brewed from the exceptional crema. The blend of Indonesian, South and Central American beans provides an uncommonly smooth and sweet taste.
We offer traditional coffee drinks along with delicious unique options such as our Lavender Honey latte or our Iced Dreamsicle latte.
Our Food
Every bite is a symphony of tastes, showcasing the bountiful harvest of local farms, dairies, and markets that connect our beloved city and its surroundings, with plenty of options that fit all desires and dietary needs.
