I wanted to try this bakery since it got great reviews. There's other locations in Manhattan but I…read morewent to the one on Bushwick. There is a lot of options to choose from in this bakery. Sweet and savory. From noodles to ongiris to dessert to cookies this place is amazing. I can't imagine you couldn't find something in here to eat. I got a beef curry bun, beef yakiniku roll, Kinpira (burdock root), sesame tuile cookie and a tiramisu coffee roll. Everything looked fresh and everything did taste good. The sesame cookie was delicious. I would definitely go back again if I'm in the area or try the other location in Manhattan.

Ube soft serve with thin crispy almond cookie topping was fantastic. Also grabbed some cookies to consume the next day (Miso almond cookie and diamond butter cookie). The diamond butter cookie was the better of the two, but neither were super memorable so I'd try something else next time. Get that soft serve!!

Have had the pleasure of dining at La Cantine a few times now and can definitely say I have never…read morebeen disappointed by anything ordered. The menu changes constantly and you can find the latest menu on their Instagram stories which they update daily. As a rule of thumb, plan to get dessert. The dark chocolate tiramisu slice we were served was healthy in size, rich in flavor and perfect to split between the two of us. I tend to order 3 dishes (one protein and two side dishes) when coming in with a friend. The dishes are always a reminder of how simple ingredients can be combined to create fantastic flavors. As a note, the Chicken Cutlet was perfectly crisp and now I feel inclined to stop in for lunch and grab a sandwich. The wines are definitely selected by someone who has a preference for funky I almost want to say musky flavors. Never really found something there that I liked which is the only drawback to this place. Get a reservation, this place can be packed very quickly. It's also good for small groups, I've seen many a birthday dinner take place here.

Shucks I wanted to give this place five stars but it didn't start so well. The first barista who…read moretook my order was really great. I first ordered a chai latte and he said I could do two different syrups so I got the pumpkin and salted maple, though I was worried about it being too sugary so he suggested I could just do half a pump of each. He asked me what the name of the order would be and I said "Aida" (the phonetic spelling is ah-EE-dah). And then I heard the other barista say something along the lines of, "oh Aida, how about 'Aida' rather not be here", pretty rude if you ask me. And then I ordered the spicy nook sandwich. And when another server called my named to grab it she didn't even knowledge me when I tried to thank her and instead she talked to her coworker while I was right in front of her. The sandwich was really good, so was my chai tea. I really like the pumpkin and salt and maple syrups too. I did like all the options for seating although it was pretty packed. I'd say if you have a big party get there early. By 7pm the whole place was filled. There was a huge majong club that came in and took the whole back area, it was so crammed there were lines for the bathroom. Over all I had a good time. I really like the music too just know it gets very busy in there. The employees I would say were hit or miss. The ones that were great though I really liked. Just seem like the ones who didn't really give attention to customers or were kind of rude seemed like they didn't wanna be there.

I stopped here because I always pass this coffee shop all the time but I never tried it out. First…read moreoff this was a few months back but let me say the women working that day were super rude and looked annoyed that I even interrupted their personal conversation. I let it go but then I order my regular small iced coffee "light &sweet" as you can tell the coffee was not light at all and I almost felt uncomfortable to even bother to ask them to change it. So I paid $6 for a regular small iced coffee that I did not enjoy. It was cool inside and being the workers freshly making coffee beans (that is so unique) and it was beautiful inside and had a cute selections to buy something.... But when you have the workers you do have really represents your company. And I have no problem paying money for good quality coffee which you can tell it was. Yet I couldn't get past how rude I was treated. Especially when I stroll in and you're completely empty and I'm being very sweet and I get the vibes I did... Some things make or break an experience!

They're often changing things around so you kinda have to wait for their emails to know what is currently happening.

The inside doesn't have much seating (only window seating), but they have seating on the outside. On top of being a sandwich spot, they are also a deli and sell a variety of supermarket goods.

Service was nice but it took about 20 minutes for our sandwiches to be done, which I felt was a bit long. Would be a great spot to hang out with friends on a sunny day!

Baristas were solid, price was right, everything was grand... I don't know what has happened in the last 6-9 months but I've had to stop coming here full stop. The drink I would always order and am intimately familiar with now tastes fundamentally different--burnt. And not in a dark roast way I would opt into... burnt in a non-intentional way. I don't know if something's up with the espresso machine plumbing that's burning the espresso, if the quality of the roast/beans have changed (doubt it), or if the microbiome of the ice machine is off--but the coffee now always tastes burnt in a way it never did before...and all my friends agree! I sincerely lament that this is the case and I check every 6 weeks or so to see if the espresso machine has been tuned up or something... but once again my cup was not tasty yesterday :/ !! I still go to other variety locations around the city and everything is ok elsewhere. I wasn't going to say anything but I'm just exhausted of not being able to get my reasonably priced, reliably good iced espresso drink when I get off at dekalb so I'm speaking up! For what its worth, I used to be a barista so I'm not just chatting, I sincerely want better for us all!! @Variety please just like get your guy to check the espresso machine or something IDK but summer's around the corner!
