Shelter Island Heights Pharmacy

The Shelter Island Heights Pharmacy is one of the island’s most beloved and historic landmarks, a classic American soda fountain and neighborhood café that has been a gathering place for Shelter Island residents and visitors for generations. Step inside and you’ll find a wonderfully preserved piece of American nostalgia — an old-fashioned soda counter, homemade ice cream, egg creams, milkshakes, sandwiches, coffee, and the kind of simple, satisfying snacks that instantly transport you back in time. The pharmacy side of the business still operates, but it’s the soda fountain that draws people from across the island and beyond. Whether you’re stopping in for a scoop of ice cream after a bike ride, a grilled cheese and a milkshake for lunch, or just a cup of coffee and a friendly chat, the Heights Pharmacy delivers a genuine Shelter Island NY experience that you simply can’t find anywhere else.
