So you just walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and need a spot to rest your legs and refuel? Head to Dawn’s.
Dawn’s Til Dusk (more commonly called Dawn’s) is one of the cutest coffee shops in DUMBO. It’s located just a short walk away from the Brooklyn Bridge, so it’s a perfect pit stop after the trek.
The charming corner lot creates the ideal scene for people watching while sipping away on a latte. It also doesn’t hurt that Dawn’s has a small selection of irresistible baked goods, including mouthwatering cookies.
There’s a cookie called the Judith, which happens to be gluten-free and vegan, that I dream often! It’s a coconut toffee mix that’s. It’s not uncommon for this adorable DUMBO coffee shop to boast a line. Between the picturesque building and laid-back vibes, it’s not hard to see why it’s such a popular spot for a cup of coffee.
