    Peach Cube
    Raia S.

    A few years ago, I got takeout from here and got the best French dip sandwich of my life. Turns out it was a special, and I've been missing it dearly ever since. I returned this weekend with a friend to try some of their other sandwiches and had a lovely meal. The staff are kind and accommodating and they have plenty of nice outdoor seating, it's a little more crowded inside. The toasted fennel ranch chicken cutlet was flavorful, crispy, and the bread was notably good. I liked the homemade ranch on there and the fennel flavor really came through. The peach cube was a yummy end to the meal, light not terribly sweet. We want to come back for dinner, apparently the nighttime desserts are epic!

    A cute neighborhood spot with delicious food and great wine -- the staff here is so kind! Standouts include Corn Ribs, Corn Agnolotti, Crispy Potatos and Corn Panna Cotta. I'll be back soon!

    Lemon olive oil cake
    Gab G.

    Came for lunch on a Saturday at 12:15 PM and it was packed. You order at the counter and seating is first-come, first-served. I tried the chicken cutlet sandwich, crispy potatoes and lemon olive oil cake. Everything was so good! Dinner / dinner desserts also look excellent (via their IG), so I would return for that as well.

    Short rib
    Austin S.

    Oh my god, one of the best sandwiches to ever grace the earth. They have a crazy rotating menu full of inventive, but approachable sandwiches and treats. I got their short rib on sourdough. It was a messy concoction of savory flavors, and little sprinkles of acidity and sweetness. It was rich, and oozing with flavor. Their corner spot is super cozy and homey. Small, and ready for friends and family to gather alike. The workers are great. And they have some dang good pastries staring you down as well. When you dream of the perfect sandwich, you dream of la cantine

    The earl grey pudding special was Great! The little crunchies on top - delectable. Olive oil cake was just OK to me, a tad dry...

    A cheeky French name appears to be in vogue these days. While Le Dive and Le French Diner undersell the scope of their ambitions, La Cantine is arguably in fact a canteen - albeit a very good one. I tried the pesto egg cheese sandwich, which was the perfect snack after a bike ride on a sunny day. The scrambled eggs were perfectly soft, and no one's complaining about the generous layer of mayo on the brioche. It gets popping here, so be prepared to wait 45 minutes+ on a busy day.

    No one, and I mean literally no one is doing it like La Cantine/Sunsets at La Cantine. Bright, intentional, delicious, flavor-forward, and smart dishes. An incredible wine program, a quaint and cute inside, and an ever changing seasonal menu highlighting really fresh ingredients. I'm quite blown away. Make that reservation and go. I will and have been back so many times. Never change!!!

    Chicken Cutlet Sandwich
    Kirsten F.

    I am extremely passionate about la Cantine thanks to their chicken cutlet sandwiches they are the absolute best. Fresh, thin, crispy. Love the specials menu but hate how fast they run out. Love the quality and ingenuity of the ingredients and recipes. Love the cut of the lettuce. Could the environment be more warm and welcoming? Absolutely. Does it matter? Absolutely not. I'm not coming for friendship, I'm coming for cutlets.

    Great customer service small local spot. Ordered the special biscuit, egg with bacon, egg and cheese, lavender latte and hot chocolate. Food was amazing

    Mortadella sandwich
    Sanjana G.

    Incredibly good. Everything looks as yummy as what you see online. I got a mortadella sandwich with arugula and aioli. Scrumptious. I also ended up ordering my birthday cake from here cause i loved the flourless chocolate cake so much. The location itself is a bit small but the service is great. I went on a Sunday afternoon so it was quite packed but was able to get a table. I understand why they have a no laptop policy on weekends! They change their menu everyday, which is so exciting but they also have staple items.

    This is one of my favorite places to get lunch. I love their iced lavender latte with whole milk. The lavender syrup is delicious and made in house, so that's probably what makes this place special. Any place that that's the time to make their own syrup is five stars in my book. They also have specials that change each week, so far haven't had a sandwich from the specials I didn't like. They always make them with a lot of different toppings and there's lots of variety when it comes to the sandwiches. I really love this place and highly recommend it if you are ever in Bushwick!

    I'm always recommending this spot to friends new to the area bc it's a local gem! LISTEN TO ME READER, YOU MUST TRY THEIR OLIVE OIL CAKES. *Be warned they're addictive and this is a bit of a pricey spot so it's perfect for a study/work incentive lol. It's a small spot with some outdoor seating that's beautiful in good weather They serve La Colombe coffee and brew it well imo Might wanna come early if you can so you can catch the breakfast and the fresh baked goodies before they sell out. Btw, the Staff is always sweet and I recommend you be generous with tip bc they work in a teeny kitchen and always look exhausted running around and sweating in the summer

    This is everything vegan food should be - creative and satisfying…read more Bold flavors, a thoughtfully curated menu, and ingredients that are allowed to shine. The bowl was packed with flavor and made with some of the best, freshest ingredients. And the mac & cheese? Creamy, delicious, and completely vegan. It lacked absolutely nothing except, you know, the animal products.

    Aunts et Uncles: Vegan food that doesn't need a disclaimer…read more Baby, that loaded baked potato?! One of the best things I've eaten at a vegan restaurant. Period. A strong 9.5/10, and I don't hand those out casually. The peanut butter cauliflower was a close second--absolutely delicious, just a little pricey for the portion. The lasagna was a solid 8/10. Flavorful and hefty despite its lighter ingredients. Unless you're skipping appetizers, prepare for leftovers. Fair warning: it's saucy and doesn't travel particularly well. I also noticed an aftertaste I couldn't quite identify, but nothing that ruined the dish. The mac and cheese? A 6/10 for me. The flavor fell flat, though my dinner companions thought it was decent for vegan food. They also loved their burger and the gorgeous steak-style sandwich with chimichurri and avocado. The sandwich looked delicious, but the portion didn't quite justify the price for me. Now, the sorrel cocktail? A 9/10. Easily. What would make it a 10? A bit more alcohol. I couldn't really taste any. It gave mocktail. My girls did enjoy their wine, though! Service was very warm and friendly, although the packed crowd meant extended waits once we placed our orders. The space is beautiful, cozy, and elevated, but cramped in many areas. Between counter ordering and table service, expect people moving around you. Some patrons could use a gentle reminder that their behinds are not a complimentary side dish. The aesthetics are beautiful, the bathroom was cute and clean, and there's a small outdoor patio out front. They even had a DJ bringing block-party energy during our visit! I could easily see myself returning for breakfast, brunch, or a little café workday. What I love most, though, is the community-centered spirit and how the owners' partnership and love story are woven into the space. My final word: I judge vegan food by the same standards as everything else. No participation trophies just because it's plant-based. My ultimate test? Would I order it again, and would I return to the restaurant? Aunts et Uncles didn't need a vegan consolation prize or watered-down standards. Some dishes could use tweaking, and the portions don't always match the prices, but the standouts absolutely hold their own against non-vegan food. I'm already plotting my return. That loaded potato and I have unfinished business.

Nice happy hour and a large chocolate drink selection I was at this unique Guatemalan (ish) restaurant a while back with one of my groups. I said "ish" because the menu has dishes from all over, ranging from sandwiches to BBQ ribs to Guatemalan and Mexican soups. It's out there, and even though not everything works that well, it's fun, and if you can't find something you want to order here, you probably shouldn't go out to restaurants. There was also live jazz music that night, which was loud but nice to listen to. Since it was happy hour, a bunch of us got drinks. I went with a maracuya margarita, which was decent; someone else had a jalapeño margarita, someone had a beer, and someone had a mojito. There were a few nice hot sauces on the table, with the red one reminding me of salsa macha as it had a smoky kick and a spicier green sauce reminiscent of ají verde. They gave us some complimentary blue corn chips and a very mild black bean dip, which was tasty enough and hard to complain about, as it was free. From the appetizers, we got the Hot Figs for $15.95, consisting of honey goat cheese, corn tortilla chips, and plum + pumpkin seeds. This was a unique and fun blend and reminded me more of something you would find in a wine bar. The mix of sweet and salty, with a bit of crunch from the seeds, was nice. This was good, and I would recommend it for a table rather than for a solo diner. There was also The Zingy Salad for $21.95, featuring zucchini spirals, yuzu, tomato, onion, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and a jalapeño infusion. $18.95. The salad was fine with a bit of crunch and a mild spiciness. It was fine, though a bit wet, for lack of a better word. The best dishes of the night were the soups, which each had its own distinct flavor profile. My sight presence went to the Pepián for $21.95, consisting of chicken, pumpkin/sesame seeds, green tomatillo, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper, carrots, chili coban/pasta/guaque, and potato + rice. There was plenty of tender chicken inside, with the soup having a nice roasted flavor with some spice and a bit of sourness. The potatoes and rice on the bottom added more sustenance to this dish. Almost equally delicious was the Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo for a dollar more with shredded chicken, tomato, black pepper, garlic, onions, peas, chickpeas, corn, achiote, chipotle, Monterey jack cheese, and crunchy blue corn tortilla chips. By comparison, this was a bit heartier, with the melted cheese and shredded tortilla chips inside, similar to soups found in Mexican cuisine. While I also liked the mix of veggies a bit more in this one, as it added a bit more texture, I still slightly preferred the flavor of the other soup, as I usually prefer a bit more spice. The rest of the food was fine. The TPC sandwich for $19.95 with chicken, peanut butter, coconut cream, ginger, cilantro, pickled carrots, and lime was fine. For the number of ingredients, I found it a bit sweet, likely from the cream and the peanut butter mix. The bread was nice, but it also fell apart. It came with a nice side salad with a good vinaigrette. The most expensive at $24.95 were the Slow Cooked BBQ Ribs, consisting of baby back ribs with rice and beans. The ribs were almost a bit too tender as they lacked any bite, which was nice, but the sauce was a bit too generic tasting, reminding me of Sweet Baby Ray's or something similar. The rice and beans were standard. This was also OK. Next came some dessert. There was first the $12.95 Rosemary Churros served with dulce de leche & chocolate dips. While I'm not sure if it worked, the rosemary did add a unique smell and a bit of flavor, and at least it wasn't generic. The churros themselves were hot, and the sauces were standard, with my preference being the dulce de leche. I also ordered a Champurrado for $7.95, which was fine. It wasn't as thick as I expected, though perhaps the style is a bit different than the champurrados I rarely buy from Mexican street carts. The chocolate flavor was very nice, though, and I like that it wasn't too sweet. Another person got a $4 Alfajor, which I got a bite of, which was standard. This place is a bit hard to rate. The two soups were wonderful, I liked the appetizers, and I found a couple of the other dishes just OK. Overall, it was a good meal, but I'm not craving to go back. This would be the perfect 3.5, but I'll round up as that doesn't exist.

The setup is a little different from a full-service restaurant. You order at the counter, let the staff know if you're dining in or getting your order to go. If dining in, then find a table and wait for your name to be called. If you're seated farther away, they'll usually bring your food to you. For drinks, it's best to stay near the baristas towards the front of the store since those are typically called out separately. I ordered the Madeline omelette without the jalapeños. It was good overall but it could have used a little more salt. I also tried the matcha latte (which tasted a bit too milky) and I had to add extra sweetener, so I'd probably try a different drink next time. The pastries, especially the apple strudel and Boston cream donut, were both really good. Highly recommend the apple strudel.
