French-inspired lunch spot & evening wine bar with small plates
"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
