Clipper Coffee

"The coffee at Clipper Coffee is very, very good. The coffee shop is located in City Island on the main drag. Clipper Coffee provides people with a cozy environment to relax and have coffee or tea. What is good is the coffee. I had an Americano, which had a smooth and pleasant flavor. They have a small used book area with books that looked like they were worth reading. I also saw a chess set and a few other board games. What is not so good is that the place looks like it is not cleaned very often, certainly not at a regular interval as it should be on a daily basis. Surfaces needed to be wiped down. The floor needed sweeping. I saw cinnamon spilled in the front condiment area. There were a lot of crumbs in the display case where the bread was showcased. There is a sofa that is so worn-out-looking that it needs to be replaced. Despite that, it is a great place to enjoy coffee. I plan to go back."

"Good coffee in a cozy spot. The coffee is always well brewed, good selection on the menu, and such a peaceful atmosphere in the Bronx. Love to see and support small business like this! Keep up the good work"

"If only I could copy and paste Clipper Coffee all over the Northeast Bronx! I loved it here and can’t wait to go back. There’s a very friendly young man in there who I think is the owner. He greets you with a smile. The lovely young lady behind the counter knew some of the patrons by name and warmly took their order. The music is dope. Once I heard The BeeGees I knew I was in the right place lol. There’s a small reading nook towards the back of the shop, and out front are some board games. They probably do a game night which, if so, is pretty fun. I had an iced latte w/almond milk and it was robust and refreshing for a hot summer’s day. I didn’t have any of their food items but I saw a couple walk out with some sandwiches that looked delicious! There’s some outdoor seating, though not ample, which is quite fine. I think it’s just right for the size of the shop. Who do I have to talk to to get more Clipper Coffees in the BX?! Lol. This place made my day, and I truly wish we could have more non-corporate (no hate DD and Starbucks- I still love y’all) coffee shops like this that stimulate culture in their local communities. Whoever owns this place, you have my support and gratitude! If you’re on City Island, pay these folks a visit. Many families did the day I was there. It’s a charming BX spot!"

"Service was awesome! Food was fresh, hot and tasty! Walked 18.7 miles from Astoria to City Island hoping to eat some good seafood but those places either only take cash or closed on Easter Sunday! It says Best Coffee in New York and true enough! Coffee was fresh and has flavor!"

"Me and my girlfriends love this place. The atmosphere is casual and peaceful jazz is playing in the background. The old timers are friendly and the breakfast food and coffees are delicious! Head to Clipper coffee for a relaxing time and delicious food."
