Local, chill vibes…my Americano was great! The pastries we tried were amazing…the cheddar scallion scone was so buttery and rich and soft, I had it warm with butter and it was my favorite part of my breakfast…also tried the chilli cheese danish which had a flaky croissant like texture, a hint of spice and it was really delicious served warm. Service was great. Great value, it was $15 for breakfast for two (2 espresso beverages & 2 pastries which we split) which is almost unheard of nowadays!! Also loved that the restaurant has a free library where you can bring a book/take a book, what a great idea!

Clipper Coffee is a small coffee shop located on City Island, in an area that is dominated by large seafood and touristy restaurants. However city Island in itself is a community. This is definitely a local, eclectic place to have a cup of coffee and a light snack and possibly bump into friends and neighbors. While small, the shop offers a variety of seating options. There are traditional two and four seat tables, couches with coffee tables and a bench in front on the sidewalk. The service was friendly and fast. On this visit we only had coffee and pastry ( croissant and scones) but there is light fare offered. The atmosphere is relaxed. It's a good place to have a coffee alone or with friends.

Clippers coffee is a delight! A true gem of the Bronx and of City Island. All the staff there are super friendly, and their menu items are wonderful! If you go try their jumbo chocolate chip cookie, there are very few cookies that can beat it!

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.

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.
