French-inspired cafe & wine bar with daily specials
"A Bushwick daytime cafe and evening wine bar that elevates the city’s fundamental BEC (bacon, egg, and cheese). Don’t miss the stewed poblano pepper on a BEC, described as “an utter delight” ($13, $10.50 without bacon). Be prepared to “hold it over the plate as you eat, because it’s going to drip plenty.”" - Robert Sietsema
"At a recent breakfast in Bushwick my espresso at La Cantine was served in a square-shaped cousin of retro 1970s Italian Casalinghi espresso cups; I told my partner, “I love them because they look like they’re smarter than me,” and he later remarked on the durable appeal of metallic plates, cups, and trays — it was nice to know I could whip out stainless steel espresso cups and play tea party with my nephew without having to worry about chipping a mug." - Francky Knapp
"La Cantine, in addition to being a pleasing space to grab a coffee and read a book, is the best option for chicken cutlet sandwiches in the area. The sandwich menu always stays fresh, too, with rotating specials listed on Instagram. At night, this little luncheonette turns into a wine bar with snacking plates and dessert." - Eater Staff
"I learned that La Cantine is a French cafe at 60 St. Nicholas Avenue whose kitchens will be used to prepare food for Nha Trang One’s Bushwick pop-up." - Luke Fortney
"Easily dismissed by some as an Instagrammable coffee shop, La Cantine is actually always busy and makes one of the city’s best chicken cutlet sandwiches; I went for the citrus fennel chicken cutlet special ($16) which was my platonic ideal of a sandwich — mayo cut by citrus acid with plenty of crunch." - Eater Staff
