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

    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.

    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

    Adobo chicken with chive rice
    Dara S.

    The sandwiches they serve during the day are pretty good but the Sunset dinner experience is really what I love about this place. Cute, cozy dining area (pretty small so make a reservation), friendly staff, and seasonal constantly rotating menu. The chicken I got was moist and well seasoned but the real highlight was the dessert featuring rhubarb which I look forward to all year as it is only briefly in season. It's worth going just to try the desserts. The menu is super chefy and full of interesting options that use new and old techniques, classic flavors with a twist, like cacio e pepe tapioca balls. Will definitely be coming back!

    This place is great! Food is excellent. Came here with a party of 6, had a few different meals. My…read morewife hade the Cuban sandwich, excellent but $20, a bit pricey. I had the half chicken with rice and beans, may have been the best chicken I've ever had. Portion was huge. Everyone in party thought their meal was excellent. $16 cocktails Really friendly service but sloooow. Also at checkout had to ask server if gratuity had been already added. It had been..... credit card reader still had 20% and above tipping options.

    TL;DR version- Some high highs and some very low lows. Hot Figs was a fun app. By a mile, the soups…read morewere the favorites, so I would recommend the Pepián or Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo. 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.

Every table has a placemat with crayons which is such a fun way to keep kids and adults entertained. The food was delicious and tasted fresh, living up to their messaging on sourcing local food. We ordered the egg katsu sandwich and the eggs rothko. The sandwich was very well made with a nice crisp panko crusting that didnt feel heavy on the oil, and yet still managed to have a light airy egg inside. The eggs rothko was buttery and flavorful but still managed to not feel too heavy. The broiled tomatos on the side were a nice touch to contrast the egg and toast from the main dish. Overall I enjoyed this place and would love to come back to try more dishes. The vibe was friendly and welcoming, making it the perfect weekend brunch spot.

If I were to do again, no sausage, I don't believe you need it for this sandwich. The chocolate milk is regular. - 4/5 Value (1-5): For what I got, I believe it is overpriced, even though it tasted really good, I don't know how many eggs are used to create the egg katsu, but $17 seems like a reach. There are other items on the menu that cost the same price but will make you feel more full. 3/5 Customer Service (1-5): The customer service was attentive and nice. 5/5
