A City Island Cafe Pairs Pastries With a Free Book Exchange
Sip matcha, settle onto a couch, and slow the afternoon down at Clipper Coffee.
📚 A Book Between Sips
Clipper Coffee offers a quieter pause amid the tourist heavy seafood restaurants on City Island. The small, old school cafe keeps things casual, with seating that ranges from couches and coffee tables inside to a sidewalk bench outside. Bring a friend for a catch up, or take a seat on your own and let the break stretch a little.
Coffee and matcha sit alongside warm pastries, with spicy chili cheese danishes and buttery cheddar scallion scones among the savory options. There is a free book exchange too, adding something to browse between sips. Set aside a little time for a drink and a read in this relaxed community spot.
Find it at 274 City Island Avenue in the Bronx. Opening hours run Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 5 PM, and Saturday and Sunday from 8 AM to 5 PM.
