La Cabra

This is truly one of the finest cafés in New York City. Originally from Denmark, they now have multiple locations across the city, and I’ve visited one — this one happens to be a bit more spacious. When I stopped by on a weekday afternoon, the place was buzzing with energy. There was a steady line at the counter, but the atmosphere felt cozy and lively. I ordered my usual iced cardamom latte, which I highly recommend if you love the aroma of cardamom. The sweetness is perfectly balanced, the coffee smooth, and the milk-to-espresso ratio spot-on. That subtle hint of cardamom really elevates the flavor — it’s one of my absolute favorites. I also picked up a ham and cheese croissant. The barista didn’t warm it up, and I didn’t ask either — but even served cold, it tasted delicious. Flaky, buttery, and satisfying enough to devour right away. I can only imagine it would be even better warm. Overall, great coffee, good food, and an inviting atmosphere. Definitely one of my go-to café spots in NYC — I’ll absolutely be back.

No matter how many times I visit New York, La Cabra in SoHo is always a must-stop for me. There’s something about this place that just feels right every single time. The coffee is consistently excellent — clean, balanced, and thoughtfully brewed. But beyond the drinks, I really love the atmosphere here. It’s calm, warm, and effortlessly stylish, making it a perfect spot to slow down for a moment in the middle of the city. It’s one of those cafés you don’t just go to for coffee, but for the feeling. A place I’ll keep coming back to whenever I’m in NYC.

They have a lot of good washed coffees. Sagastume in particular has a smooth tea like body and taste - a good everyday cup. Pricing is not terrible - $25 for 200oz but in store cups were like $12 a piece which is pretty crazy. I would come here again for tea-like coffees that are washed and tasty baked goods but I was sad there were no special or interesting fermented / funky coffees.

The coffee was delicious! The cardamon latte was so yummy (and they made it warm despite of appearing in the “cold drinks” section of the menu). The place was busy and we couldn’t sit. However, we were happy we didn’t have to queue! The cardamon bun texture wasn’t great. It wasn’t fluffy/airy and it felt too dense. The Swiss pain was delicious and overall perfect. We recommend the place for the coffee, but we also find it quite expensive. Not worth it if you cannot even sit. Almost 32$ w/o tip for 2 coffees and 2 pastries. The staff was very kind.

Really love La cabra concept. What I like the most is that your well informed about the coffee you’re drinking & quality is always there I visit. Igor is an amazing skilled barista, friend & makes sure you feel like home.
