About

La Cabra is a renowned bakery and coffee shop originally from Denmark, with its New York location gaining popularity for its Scandinavian-inspired pastries and specialty coffee. Known for their cardamom buns and expertly crafted espresso drinks, La Cabra has quickly become a favorite among locals and visitors seeking high-quality baked goods and a minimalist, inviting atmosphere.

The Visit

The reviewer visited La Cabra in Soho after discovering it through viral TikTok recommendations, particularly for its coffee and pastries. The experience highlighted the shop’s strong reputation for quality, with the iced espresso and oat milk impressing immediately. While the cardamom bun was not to the reviewer’s personal taste due to the spice, the pastry’s texture and quality were praised. The cannoli stood out as a delicious treat, with a caramelized exterior and gooey interior.

Quotes

"Let's start with the coffee. I got the iced espresso with some oat milk. That's really good coffee. Like really, really, really good coffee."
"Now apparently you cannot come to La Cabra without trying their cardamom bun. So I've ordered the cardamom bun. I'm going to see if it's everything people say it is."
"You know what? It's an unfortunate time to learn this about yourself. I don't think I like cardamom very much as a spice. If that was a cinnamon bun, it would be perfect for me. But I don't think I like the taste of cardamom very much."
"But the actual pastry is really good, which is why I'm glad I got a cannoli. I had my first one of these in Thailand earlier this year and it knocked my socks clean off. So I hope this is a good one."
"Yeah, that's really good. Nice and caramelized on the outside, gooey on the inside. La Cabra slums."

Our Reflection

La Cabra’s reputation as a must-visit spot in Soho is well-earned, with its minimalist Scandinavian roots shining through in both the coffee and pastries. The reviewer’s honest reactions—delight at the expertly made iced espresso, mixed feelings about the cardamom bun, and joy at the cannoli—paint a vivid picture of discovery and personal taste. The experience is about more than just food; it’s about exploring what makes a place special, even if every flavor isn’t a personal favorite. The sense of adventure and willingness to try new things is palpable, making La Cabra a memorable stop in the heart of New York.
