Café Susy: coffee, matcha and Brazilian-Surinamese snacks in East

Café Susy is a neighborhood cafe in East where specialty coffee and matcha are the staples, but the menu has a distinct Brazilian-Surinamese line. It is the sister of YUSU and combines good coffee with snacks, natural wine and cakes that you don't "quickly" walk past.

Café Susy is not "a coffee shop with atmosphere," but a menu with a clear direction

Café Susy is the sister of YUSU Coffee, and that immediately gives context: here it's all about coffee taken seriously, without a whole story to go with it. The base is specialty coffee, with matcha as a regular choice alongside it. Not an afterthought, not a trend corner-just part of what you can get here.

What you eat and drink here sets it apart

Where many neighborhood cafes stop at a croissant and a sandwich, Susy draws the line at flavors from Brazilian and Surinamese cuisine. Especially in snacks, you see this reflected: small dishes that don't want to be "exotic," but simply give a recognizable direction to the menu. That makes the café suitable for a quick stop, but also for an appointment where you do want something interesting on the table.

The coffee is brewed with beans from Back to Black, so the basic quality stands. And Susy also has options that open up the day toward later: Parbo beer and natural wines. As a result, it feels not only like a morning spot, but also something you can still sit in as the day tilts.

At Susy, coffee is the starting point, but the Brazilian-Surinamese snack line really makes the place recognizable.

Cakes are not an afterthought here

At Susy, sweet is not "something to go with it because it's supposed to." Cakes are explicitly mentioned as part of what people come here to get. It also fits the rhythm of the place: coffee with something sweet, or just a snack and a glass-without making it heavy or formal.

Why this works as a neighborhood spot

Café Susy leans not on grand claims, but on a simple combination that you don't get everywhere in East: specialty coffee and matcha as its foundation, a menu with Brazilian-Surinamese influences for character, and drink options (Parbo and natural wine) that make sense even later in the day. As a result, it feels like a neighborhood address with a distinct signature, not "the next nice thing."
