"The pastries are delicious and the croissants are definitely my favorite. I crave them all the time. Coffee is great too. It’s been pretty consistently busy every time I’ve gone so I never expect to actually be able to sit down. Usually just grab and go. Their branding is on point, too. Love the goat on the boxes, cups, etc."

"Arrived on a Tuesday morning and there was no wait. I was able to get a seat as well. Went to a couple bakeries in the area, and this cardamom bun was my favourite of them all. It was the most unique in flavor. Very spice-forward. The ambience of the restaurant was unique as well, with a sophisticated, upscale feeling created by the ambient, low-fi music and minimal, natural decor."

"I visited this little bakery in the East Village for coffee and a quick bite. The place is tiny—very New York–style—with limited seating, and it was completely packed when I went (Labor Day weekend). There was a short line, and it took about 5–10 minutes to reach the order kiosk. The staff were polite and efficient. I ordered an iced cardamom latte along with an almond and grape cookie. Luckily, a table opened up just in time, and they even brought my order directly to me. The latte was excellent—strong coffee flavor with a fragrant cardamom note, perfectly balanced sweetness, and just the right amount of milk. The quality really stood out. The cookie was fantastic as well: almond, chocolate, and concentrated grape jam combined beautifully, with no artificial taste (a big plus for me, since I’m sensitive to synthetic flavors). While the bakery doesn’t have a huge selection, they do offer items like croissants and a pastrami sandwich that seemed quite popular. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit and would definitely come back to try more of their baked goods. Highly recommended!"

"As someone from Denmark, La Cabra has always been a familiar refuge — a place where coffee is treated with the same quiet rigour and curiosity that shaped its beginnings in Aarhus. Their approach is built on intention: one roast profile, chosen at the cupping table, meant to reveal the coffee’s character rather than manipulate it. I wasn’t expecting a queue for something that feels so intrinsically like home, but that’s New York asserting itself. The space was lovely, the coffee tasted exactly as it should — clean, bright, and grounded in the philosophy they’ve carried from Aarhus to Copenhagen to here — yet the rush of the café stole a bit of the calm I usually associate with La Cabra. More of the city’s energy than the café’s fault, but still noticeable. Still, it was a comfort to sit there, coffee in hand, knowing the same careful decisions underpin every cup on both sides of the Atlantic."

"The place is bumping. Lively atmosphere with the music. Baristas were on top of their game. Had a really good pour over. It was on point. The pastry I had was great too. If you have some extra money to spare get one of the pour overs. It’s on the next page of the menu. I tried a sample of their drip, don’t think I would drink their drip. I would go for the pour over menu or espresso."
