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!!!

I'd rate La Cantine four and a half stars. I highly recommend the desserts! We shared the peanut brownie and the chocolate bread pudding. Both were outstanding. Both had a moist consistency. Brownie was on the slightly cakey side but still plenty fudgy with same jam pockets too. I'd definitely return for both and a tall glass of milk. After dessert, we charged a chicken cutlet sandwich on a baguette. Cutlet was ultra thin. Sandwich had lettuce, cucumbers, and dressing. Simple, home style sandwich. It was good, but the desserts stole the show for me! Indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor seating was tight with some small stools at the table that was available. Hybrid service. Today we ordered at the counter and they brought the food to us. I believe there was waiter service in the past or possibly at different times. Noticed a bunch of wines bottles near the display case too.

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.

Fighting the gate keeping urge to not leave a review because I love love love this place -- but finally finishing this review because I've moved out of the neighborhood. The food is here is INCREDIBLE. The best part is that there are DAILY specials - and not just 1 or 2 items, its like 10-20 unique items everyday. This includes sandwiches (breakfast and lunch), baked goods, salads. There are truly some creative geniuses that craft this menu because it is always unique and interesting combinations, not to mention actually delicious. I have NEVER had a bad meal here, it just varies between good and great (with it being great most of the time). And even there regular menu is filled with delicious options. Its hard to make recommendations because I almost always order from the specials. The regular breakfast sandwich is delicious, and they usually have a banana chocolate bread pudding baked good that is incredible. The coffee also is always delicious. Also the chicken cutlet sandwiches are always super tasty. Sandwich size can vary, never super small, but some are bigger and could be potentially shared. The only things I think are worth skipping are the potatoes and the hot sauce. This place can definitely get crowded and have a line during peak weekend cafe times - there is both indoor and outdoor seating. Worst case if its full you can always just walk 5-10min to Maria Hernandez park. Service can also be slow -- especially when its busy, though frankly even when its not, I wouldnt come here if youre in a super rush. Also everyone that works here is very cool, very bushwick, nobody is mean or anything, but maybe varying levels of engagement haha. I know they also do a dinner service on the weekend, which I sadly never made it to, but im sure its delicious. Specials can be found on their instagram stories daily!!

Good food , good breakfast , amazing place everything is yummy even their cakes their coffee is so good 10 stars for cantine loved it

Am I in France or Brooklyn? Delicious Comte and beurre. French attitude about. Au revoir, jusqu'à ce que nous nous rencontrions à nouveau!

I came across La Cantine on IG, honestly no clue how but so glad I did. It's a cute little cafe in a quiet part of Bushwick. It was so charming, I almost felt I was somewhere else and not in Brooklyn. It was a little pricey but everything was delicious. I ordered the Spicy Chicken Cutlet sandwich that was on special which had pickles, shallots and a slightly spicy but not really mayo on a brioche bun. I ate part of the sandwich with the bun and then kind of picked at the rest. I also got an order of the roasted fingerling potatoes which came with a side of mayo like you would find in France. I also got an Arnold Palmer to drink. I read that the chocolate chip cookies were really good so I ordered two to go. While waiting for my food I took a little bite-it was so good. It must be really popular because every table inside was taken and people were sitting outside too even though it was humid and hot. My sandwich was delicious, I definitely would order one of them again (they had a few different ones on the menu). The potatoes were ok-wish I had more actual potatoes than crispy skins. The other desserts looked incredible-all rotating. Definitely worth stopping by!

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!

Frankly, I don't know why I haven't reviewed La Cantine yet. It's far and away one of my favorite spots in the city. And if anyone says otherwise, I'm so emotionally attached to La Cantine at this point that I WILL fight them. Aesthetics are 1000/10. It's a gorgeous, small spot with immaculate lighting and decor. If I had to pick one detail about them that encapsulates their vibe, it's probably that they serve their coffees one handmade mugs by local ceramicists. Everything is made with so much care and love, and it's served that way too. La Cantine is where I go to celebrate, but it's also where I go when I have a bad day. There's nothing a Jamon e beurre sandwich on a perfect baguette with lil cornichons can't cure! It's not cheap, but it is basically half a baguette. And while prepared so simply, the ingredients are so high quality that it just feels really special. Their brekky sandwiches have the softest scrambled eggs and I love the addition of poblano for the vegetarians. When you want to splurge get their potatoes with garlic aioli. Yet again, simple but just incredible. Speaking of special, their SPECIALS! They really mix things up and are always doing something different. In the spring they have a ramp butter sandwich with comte, radicchio, cornichons, ramp butter and your choice of protein on a baguette (I believe their breads are from Balthazar). It's honestly something I look forward to every year. They have incredible beverages like their maple chai and are very ok with adjusting sweetness and amount of milk to your preferences. Then in the evenings they turn into a beautiful natural wine bar called Sunsets. If you don't get the tapioca and cheese croquettes, you're missing out. They also fold seasonal ingredients into their menu at Sunsets. Often there is a lasagna in the rotation that rivals the best in the city. Tons of layers of fresh pasta, with the best seasonal ingredients they can find. All in all, La Cantine is a very special place. I can't think of a spot that 1) has better vibes and 2) pays such attention and care to their food. There's a real sense of creativity and love for food in that kitchen that you absolutely must see to believe. It really holds a special place in my heart!

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
