Crema's Take

This intimate Bushwick spot strikes that rare balance between a serious coffee destination and a full-fledged gathering place, where carefully crafted drinks sit alongside inventive sandwiches (their staff-recommended specials are worth the hype) and desserts so photogenic they'll have you planning your next visit before you leave. The vibe is genuinely relaxed and unpretentious—think cozy vintage kitchenware, friendly staff who actually care, and a space small enough to feel like a secret but welcoming enough that you'll want to linger for hours. Whether you're coming for an early breakfast, a late-morning coffee, or an impromptu dinner with friends, La Cantine delivers the kind of thoughtful, flavorful meal that people can't stop talking about.

We had an amazing time at Sunsets with my sister! The vibe is very relaxed and intimate, and the staff is super friendly. I’m obsessed with their decoration and kitchenware. We loved the food, it felt very fresh and light despite the challenging winter flavors. We recommend everything we had honestly: the winter caprese, the beets with smoked feta, the mushroom toast, the potatoes, the tuna crudo, the panna cotta, the hazelnut tiramisu and the chilled red wine! I’ll come back with friends to try the rest of the menu 😍

We tried the Christmas-named sandwich recommended by the staff and the potato layer sandwich, and both were enjoyable. The shop was small and cozy, with a pleasant atmosphere. Rather than being particularly unique, the food offered familiar and comforting flavors, which made the experience relaxed and enjoyable. Overall, it was a satisfying visit, and I would like to come back again.

I thought the sandwiches here were good & then I came here for dinner last night with a pal & it was one of the friendliest and best meals I’ve had in Bushwick in a while. Unpretentious, great flavor, healthy & we had a great time eating it. Also a decent selection of wine and not a wild amount of $ for a bottle. You can get a lot of grub here for the right price and walk away feeling very satisfied. Def coming back for dinner.

Had this place on my list for a while - every day their Insta stories break my heart for seeing what I miss here! And they didn’t disappoint. We ordered the vegan chickpea sando with extra egg and a special: spicy lemon drop + basil chicken cutlet sandwich. Also a tiny raspberry cakey treat and the pecan pie for takeaway. Everything was divine, super fresh, super creative, super colorful and flavor bombs. I wish I could go every day since they have new specials daily! Also the drink menu is not to miss - the date oat milk shake was so goooood. Only downside: it tends to get a little chill since there’s a lot of people going in and out. But it’s a busy place for a reason!

I decided to treat myself to a solo date at Cantine after drooling over the photos that they post on their instagram of their desserts. Truly one of the best meals I have had in a long time. The menu is definitely more ideal for groups of people to share with each other; however , i ordered the fettuccine and it was the perfect size for me! I love how fresh the menu is and that it changes with seasons. This just makes me want to come back!! I ordered the pasta and it was cooked perfectly!!! Not too heavy and the tomatoes were delicious. If you don’t order dessert honestly you literally missed the stars of this establishment. I had the stone fruit tiramisu and WOWOWOWOWOW is it insane. I mean how does one even think of such a thing? Divine.
