You walk in for coffee and leave with a new perspective. That’s what happens when you experience art the way it’s meant to be experienced—up close, personal, and without the crowds or pretense of traditional galleries.
Our space gives you something most places can’t: genuine connection to the artists and art that define Concourse. You’re not just looking at work on walls. You’re part of a community that values creativity, supports local talent, and understands that art should be accessible to everyone.
This is where you discover pieces that speak to you, meet the artists who created them, and enjoy exceptional coffee in an environment that actually feels welcoming. No intimidation. No barriers. Just authentic art, real conversations, and coffee that keeps you coming back.
The Café Galerie exists because Concourse deserves a space where art and community intersect naturally. We’re part of the Grand Concourse’s remarkable renaissance—a neighborhood that’s reclaimed its place as a cultural destination while staying true to its diverse, creative roots.
Our gallery showcases work from local artists who call this area home, artists whose perspectives reflect the energy and authenticity of the Bronx. We source our coffee thoughtfully and prepare it with the same attention we give to curating our rotating exhibitions.
You’ll find us in the heart of a neighborhood that’s been quietly building something special. The same area that houses the renowned Bronx Museum of the Arts, surrounded by the stunning Art Deco architecture that makes the Grand Concourse a destination in its own right. We’re proud to be part of that story.
Walk in and you immediately see what makes us different. Local artwork fills the space—not as decoration, but as the main event. These are pieces you can actually afford, created by artists you can actually meet.
Order your coffee and take your time exploring. Read about the artists. Ask questions. Many of our featured artists stop by regularly, so there’s a good chance you’ll have a conversation that changes how you see their work.
If something catches your eye, we make acquiring it straightforward. No complicated processes or intimidating sales tactics. We believe art should be approachable, and that includes the experience of bringing it home.
Stay as long as you want. Work on your laptop. Meet friends. Attend one of our artist talks or community events. This is your space as much as it is ours.

Our rotating exhibitions feature work from emerging and established artists who are part of the Concourse and broader Bronx creative community. Paintings, photography, mixed media, and sculptural pieces that reflect the diversity and energy of our neighborhood.
We spotlight different artists monthly, giving you fresh reasons to visit and new perspectives to discover. These aren’t mass-produced prints or imported pieces—this is work created by people who understand what it means to be part of this community.
The coffee program focuses on quality and consistency. We work with roasters who share our values around community support and ethical sourcing. Our menu includes espresso drinks, pour-overs, and seasonal specialties that pair perfectly with the contemplative pace of exploring art.
Concourse has become a destination for people who appreciate authentic culture without the crowds or costs of Manhattan galleries. We’re part of that movement, offering something you can’t find elsewhere: a genuine neighborhood art experience that doesn’t compromise on quality or accessibility.
We rotate our main exhibitions monthly, with new featured artists and fresh pieces regularly. This keeps the experience dynamic and gives you reasons to return throughout the year.
Some pieces from our permanent collection of local artists remain on display, while others cycle through based on availability and seasonal themes. We also host special events and artist spotlights that bring in temporary installations or collaborative works.
You can follow our social media or stop by to learn about upcoming exhibitions and artist events. Many visitors make it a monthly tradition to see what’s new, and we love being part of that routine.
Absolutely. Most pieces you see are available for purchase, and we make the process as straightforward as possible. Each artwork includes information about the artist, the piece, and pricing.
We work directly with the artists to ensure fair pricing that reflects the value of their work while remaining accessible to our community. Payment options are flexible, and we can arrange pickup or local delivery for larger pieces.
If you’re interested in commissioning custom work from any of our featured artists, we can facilitate those connections as well. Many lasting relationships between collectors and artists have started right here in our space.
Yes, community events are a core part of what we do. We regularly host artist talks, exhibition openings, and informal meetups where you can connect with creators and other art enthusiasts.
These events range from intimate conversations with individual artists to larger community gatherings celebrating new exhibitions. We also partner with other Concourse cultural organizations for collaborative events that highlight the neighborhood’s creative scene.
Our event calendar varies seasonally, but there’s typically something happening at least twice a month. These gatherings are free and open to everyone—just show up with curiosity and an appreciation for local creativity.
Our coffee program reflects the same values that guide our art curation: quality, community support, and authenticity. We partner with roasters who prioritize ethical sourcing and work directly with coffee farmers.
The menu focuses on drinks that complement the contemplative experience of exploring art. Our baristas understand that coffee here isn’t just fuel—it’s part of a slower, more intentional way of spending time.
We offer both classic espresso preparations and seasonal specialties that reflect local tastes and preferences. Regular customers often have favorite drinks, and we take pride in consistency and personal service that makes each visit feel welcoming.
We’re located in the heart of the Grand Concourse cultural district, easily accessible by public transportation. The B and D trains stop at 167th Street, just a short walk from our location.
If you’re driving, street parking is available, and the area has improved significantly with recent neighborhood revitalization efforts. The same trip that brings you to Yankee Stadium or the Bronx Museum of the Arts brings you to us.
The Grand Concourse itself is worth the journey—you’ll pass stunning Art Deco architecture and see why this boulevard is experiencing such a remarkable renaissance. We’re proud to be part of a neighborhood that’s reclaiming its place as a cultural destination.
We can accommodate small private gatherings and meetings, especially those that align with our community-focused mission. Book clubs, creative meetups, and intimate celebrations work well in our space.
Our flexible seating areas can be arranged to suit different group sizes and purposes. The artwork provides a unique backdrop for events, and many hosts appreciate the creative atmosphere for their gatherings.
