La Cabra.

Worth it, says Antonina. Established in 2013, La Cabra, meaning “the goat” in Spanish, has earned its reputation as the GOAT (greatest of all time) in the eyes of the hip and young, thanks to its in-house coffee roasting.

Worth it
  • Address284 Lafayette St, New York, NY 10012
  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

Established in 2013, La Cabra, meaning “the goat” in Spanish, has earned its reputation as the GOAT (greatest of all time) in the eyes of the hip and young, thanks to its in-house coffee roasting. Originating from Denmark, the SoHo coffee shop offers locally sourced food and exceptional coffee in a friendly atmosphere.

The cozy and inviting space mirrors traditional Danish cafe aesthetics, offering some of the best coffee in SoHo alongside incredible baked goods, a testament to La Cabra’s exceptional quality despite its small size.
