La Cabra made a name for itself by specializing in the Nordic approach to coffee, think clean and bright roasts.

La Cabra made a name for itself by specializing in the Nordic approach to coffee, think clean and bright roasts. Fitting, considering the cafe’s motto is “Brighter is Better.” Coffee aside, the Scandinavian decor couldn’t be cozier, lingering is an enjoyable affair (which it why scoring a table is no easy feat).

What I wrote thereFold it away

La Cabra makes the best cardamom buns in New York City. These airy, delicate spiced knots have earned a reputation an international stage (La Cabra hails from Denmark). Between the quality baked goods and top-notch coffee, the bakery swells with locals and tourists every day of the week. Excellence is the name of the game, and La Cabra delivers.
