My friend said that one of the biggest things she'd miss from Aarhus was the cardamom buns here- and I can understand why. The bun is so fragrant with a light crunchy exterior and airy inside. the flavor is not overpowering but perfect and lightly sweet. It wasn't as heavy of a pastry as I thought it would be- perfect for a quick snack! The cafe was really busy but super pretty inside as well. It is a great place to stop and take a break. All their other pastries looked so delicious too, I doubt you can go wrong with any order. read more

We try to come by whenever we visit - the coffee and pastry are truly lovely. It can be quite busy but usually there's a spot to squeeze in somewhere. I love to try their seasonal pastry. And the cardamom latte (as other suggest) is totally worth it. Such a lovely place to stop during a day out and about! read more

This place is super cute and small. The cardamom buns are delicious: yeasty and the perfect level of sweetness. The mugs they use are very cute, granted, very hard to hold when containing hot beverages. There is both limited indoor and outdoor seating and I would recommend going earlier because their pastries sell out. The service is prompt and overall, a very cute local joint. read more

Suggested by my Airbnb host, who also told me about how seriously these folks take their coffee. Located in the Latin district, the storefront is very cute and welcoming. The decor inside, of course, is also just as perfectly laid out. Moveable small tables enough for 2 people make up all the seating. The walls are lined with coffee and coffe making paraphernalia. As for the coffee, the espresso was perfect and the pastry was amazing as well. The only drawback was the high cost. 30 DK for espresso was a bit much, but it was a very good introduction to the coffee culture in Aarhus. read more

La Cabra is the coffee shop of my dreams. They have amazing coffee & food, cozy interior, fun logo, wonderful magazine and record selection.. I couldn't have designed it better myself. Plus the magazine selection and menu are both in English. Love it! I ordered a flat white with oat milk and the boyfriend had an americano - both were delicious! We also both ordered the avocado toast, which was amazing. I eat avocado toast almost every morning for breakfast and this was a fun take on my usual breakfast with olive oil toasted bread, chives, and salty almonds. I'm hungry just thinking about it! We also shared a delicious slice of lemon poppyseed cake. Everything was wonderful. My only complaint is that they don't have a location in Copenhagen. Oh well, perfect excuse to return to Aarhus! read more

Friendly staff, warm ambiance, craft coffee, but best of all, THE BEST CROISSANTS. Not something I would particularly expect in Aarhus, but these croissants were crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and I learned today (my second time visiting in two days), that they use a sourdough base and there's 27 layers in each croissant. I couldn't even take a proper photo because I just bit into it immediately. Go get'em!!! read more

I've drank coffee at shops around the world, and La Cabra ranks #1 out of them all... The attention to detail, friendly staff, willingness to explain each cup, and extreme quality control on every drink they serve earns them the position of best coffee shop I've ever been to. Their expresso is top notch, and their standard cups (prepared in any method) are the picture of quality and excellence. If you are near Aarhus, try anything they offer. You will not be disappointed. read more

When I think back to all the cups of coffee drunk during my trip to Europe, the one that floats to mind first is La Cabra. What an absolute gem of a coffee shop. We were fortunate to discover this place on our first day in Aarhus, and enjoyed our subsequent mornings there as well. Their coffee was smooth yet strong, with excellent flavor, and came served in beautiful pottery cups with little goats carved at the bottom. (They've won a bunch of awards for their coffee, and you can instantly taste why!) Their breakfast/brunch offerings were excellent as well - the croissants were buttery, yet light and crackly, their bread with cheese was the perfect substantial, simple breakfast, and their avocado toast was as beautiful as it was delicious. Service was laid back and friendly. The weekends can get very busy, especially after 10am, and you may have to wait in line to order, then wait for a table to open up. On weekdays, however, the crowd is much more manageable. It was such a wonderful cafe to sit, chat, and plan out the rest of our day, and if I ever find myself in Aarhus again, I'll be sure to stop in. read more

I came just when they opened in the morning and was the first order of the day. Turns out that was a good idea because on weekends, they seem to get a queue very quickly. Coffee was excellent (but I'm not really a coffee buff, so I don't have a more nuanced review about that). I also had a breakfast platter of bread/cheese, granola, yogurt and juice. It wasn't cheap when you consider the ingredients are very basic. However, the quality of all the items was very good. I particularly like that they provided a delicious hard cheddar to go with the bread. The usual cheeses that come with Danish breakfast plates are pretty underwhelming, so to get a sharp, aged cheddar is a very welcomed change! The bread was also excellent: thick crust, moist and chewy inside. read more

This is by far the best coffee in Aarhus, if not all of Denmark. Very friendly staff and great attention to detail when preparing the delicious locally roasted coffee. The many trophies of barrister excellence bear witness to an exemplary level of dedication. The sparkling water offered on the side with each expresso is but one small example of how La Cabra is dedicated to real coffee excellence. read more

The menu has various tasty-sounding drinks and also coffee-based drinks for those that want a caffeine boost. They also have sandwiches and a few snacks. I ended up getting a 6 oz. latte to wake me up and "green mile" to keep me fueled for the rest of my journey. Green mile packed in lots of nutrients with broccoli, spinach, avocado, lemon, and apple! It had a hint of sweet with a bit of tang! The latte packed 2 shots of espresso with just enough milk to bring it up to 6 oz. It was strong and gave me the perfect punch of energy to get on that train. This is a great stop for a smoothie on the go! Such a pleasant surprise to have found this place!

On a rainy day, my wife and I purchased two coffees and a panini, and decided to do some work at the cafe. To be respectful to the cafe and other customers, we made sure there was always an open table for other customers. During the two hours we spent at the cafe, there was always an open table - thus, we were never prohibiting any other customers from sitting down. Yet, despite this, after approximately two hours, the barista came over to our table and asked if we were going to purchase anything else. Our answer was no, not at the moment (we were planning to depart soon anyway). The barista's response was: "I am going to ask you to leave if you are not going to buy anything else." Confused, we replied: "But there are still open tables. Why must we leave the cafe?" The barista replied that we were being "disrespectful...for only purchasing two coffees and a panini" and that we must leave the cafe. So, we left and will not return, because we feel this is some of the worst customer service we have ever received at a cafe. In contrast to the baristas feelings toward us, we felt disrespected as paying customers. Perhaps it is different in Denmark - although not from our general experience in Aarhus and Copenhagen - but working in a cafe for two hours is not at all unreasonable in the USA. For example, in NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, DC, Seattle, San Francisco, Tucson, Portland, and Columbus (to name several cities in which we have experience with their cafe culture) working in a cafe for a couple of hours is a normal affair. This is especially the case if there are plenty of open tables. Bummer.
