Coffee, Pastries, and Waterfront Views for Workdays
Settle in with pastries and scenic waterfront views, plus plenty of room to work.
☕ A Room to Linger
Cafe Susanne opens into a sunlit room where daytime drinks meet baked goods and a long view toward the waterfront. The windows pull Brooklyn into the room, while the spacious layout gives you room to settle with a laptop, a coffee, or a slow pastry break.
The cafe sits beside its sister restaurant, Bar Susanne, and the atmosphere carries more character than a grab and go counter. A standout sound system shapes the room, people watching comes naturally through the windows, and the seating invites a longer pause. The kitchen offers chocolate croissants, cheese twists, and chocolate chip cookies, a varied spread when the table needs something beyond coffee.
At 8 River St, this is an easy daytime anchor for a work block near the water. Doors open at 8 AM, with weekdays running to 8 PM and Friday and Saturday stretching to 9 PM, so a morning coffee and a late afternoon break sit inside the same window. Seating is plentiful, and the corner stays busy into the evening.
