Best Sandwiches in Bushwick
Master Critic Review
Mixtape Bushwick
7.7
A coffee-first daytime stop where sandwiches are simple, tight, and designed to pair with a drink rather than steal the whole show. The best experience is a quick two-item rhythm—one sandwich plus coffee—so you’re in and out without turning it into a long hang.
Must-Try Dishes:
Prosciutto Sandwich, Grilled Cheese Sandwich, Breakfast Sandwich
