Inwood Farm

This quaint coffee shop/restaurant/bar will transport you to a family-owned brick and wood farm up in the mountains. Located at the northern tip of Manhattan, across from the Columbia Athletic Fields, Inwood Farm serves neighborhood folk coffee and pastries (their cookies are to die for) in their café area each morning where patrons can choose to stay and work if they please, until the kitchen opens for lunch at 11am until dinner hours for hearty American fare, beer, wine, and cocktails.

This dog friendly location has ample seating space in the café area, main dining area, and bar, along with outdoor seating, weather permitting. Happy hour runs Monday-Friday from 3pm-7pm, and while deals change seasonally, bottomless brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am-4pm remain the same. Inwood Farm is known for hosting live events including jazz nights, drag brunches, sports viewing parties, and private events. Their event schedule is updated via their Instagram page and website.

If you’re in the area, check out the free public library outside Inwood Farm’s front entrance and take a walk through beautiful Inwood Hill Park and along the East River. Day trippers can use this location as their home base for quick pick-me-ups, restrooms, phone charging stations, and free WiFi.
