    Perks! Perks! Perks! Who doesn't love a perk??? NY Magazine just introduced Perks for longtime NY mag subscribers; each month subscribers are entitled to a monthly perk. This month the perk was a complimentary beverage and cardamom bun from the exquisite bakery La Cabra*. One can visit one of their three NYC locations: Bushwick, East Village and SoHo. All three are appealing to me but today SoHo was the pick. There is a line to get in.. yes folks we are living in the age of rock star bakeries like Radio Bakery, where food connoisseurs know a gem.. My wait was about ten minutes and I looked at the beautiful sweets and savories presented and decided to purchase the ham and cheese croissant for a snack. Sherine took my complimentary order and packed ham and cheese separately. This space was packed: buzzy, vibey and jazzed clientele savoring the delicious options. There is seating at the bar, tables or standing bar. I found a spot at the bar and waited for my iced cardamom latte. I also grabbed complimentary water. The cardamom bun was absolutely amazing: La Cabra's famous cardamom buns feature a distinct spiced dough, a rich butter-sugar filling packed with freshly ground cardamom, and an extra dusting of cardamom-sugar on the outside, practically melts in your mouth. The latte was exquisitely crafted and was a great accompaniment to the bun. 'The famous Cardamom Latte is built with just three core components: freshly pulled espresso, steamed milk (often oat milk at their NYC locations), and a delicate cardamom simple syrup. The syrup adds a sweet, warming, and citrusy-floral aroma that perfectly balances their bright, Scandinavian-style coffee.' The decor is minimalist with soft lighting, wooden tables, floral touches and paintings on the wall. The staff are professional and seem to love crafting and serving top notch baked goods. 'La Cabra is an acclaimed Danish specialty coffee roaster and bakery, globally renowned for its meticulously light-roasted, single-origin coffees and exceptionally high-quality Scandinavian pastries' I recently visited Denmark and am not surprised at the quality of what La Cabra offers. If you are looking for a place that delights all five senses then La Cabra is that place. Tak to La Cabra and shout out to Sherene for lovely customer service. * ah you noticed Literally meaning "goat," the word cabra Spanish Translation is highly versatile in Spanish slang and colloquial conversation, taking on meanings that range from "crazy" to "the greatest.

    This was my second time at La Cabra, first at this location! I loved it just as much! The cardamom bun and cardamom lattes were just as good as I remembered them! The baristas were so kind and so cute will be returning!!

    A couple friends and I checked out La Cabra for a late afternoon coffee during that awkward "after lunch but before dinner" window last Sunday. There was about a 10-minute line, but we were able to snag a few bar stools once we ordered. We picked up a couple bags of beans to try. The La Divina Providencia (a washed El Salvador) with fruity, balanced notes sounded the most interesting, so we got both beans ($28) and a pour-over ($12). It was clean with pretty muted fruit notes. While it was well-executed, it wasn't really my kind of coffee. My friend enjoyed it a lot, so he took that bag, while I went with the Shyira (a 48hr anaerobic Rwanda) with wild, jammy fruit notes. I brewed this one at home, and it's definitely brighter and juicier, but doesn't leave a "woah" feeling. If you're into clean, elegant cups with subtle fruit, La Cabra is a solid option. However, if you're chasing something more funky or crazy, I'm not sure this is the place (based on a few experiences). Honestly, I enjoy their pastries more than their coffee. The chocolate tart was particularly delightful.

    I waited 10 mins on a Sunday morning - I'd wait 40 tasting what I've tasted! The cardamom latte (12 oz) to stay, was truly divine. So smooth, so balanced and perfectly sweet, and light. La Cabra is a well oiled machine and it didn't take too long to get my coffee despite it being packed. I sat at the bar - but there was a high top standing bar, and then a small bench near the front. Booth and table style in the back. Generous amount of seats for a SoHo cafe. My only regret: not getting a cardamom bun and not getting a latte for the road.

    Very popular cafe in soho. The place was packed on a late thursday afternoon so I can only imagine what peak hours are like, plan on standing or taking your stuff to go. The staff that takes orders seemed really enthusiastic, very personable so that's always nice. Overall I've really only heard good things from people I know who frequent here a lot. A must try is the cardamom bun, but the almond and chocolate croissants are very good too. No complaints, I would come back.

    First of all it smells wonderful in here. And the coffee and pastries are absolutely delicious. Great music, great atmosphere. High energy too, as the line is always out the door but I promise it moves fast. Will definitely come back!

    I visited the La Cabra and they have a long line but it did move quickly. They have seating but the spots fill up quickly. The flat white and strawberry and toasted milk choux was very yummy. I would love to visit again!

    Why is this place so popular? I honestly couldn't tell if their matcha latte or cold-pressed coffee was any better than what you'd find at a random neighborhood coffee shop. The space was extremely crowded, two women across from us were loudly talking on speakerphone the entire time, and there was a long line for the unisex restroom. Yikes.

    Coffee was great! The line was semi-long on a Sunday morning but we were prepared for a small wait. The coffee itself was very good - I ordered a cortado and my boyfriend ordered a drip coffee with a dash of oat milk. Getting our order seemed a little chaotic as we had to ask the barista which ones were ours and there was *some* confusion. It was $15 for two coffees post tip, so it ain't cheap. The vibe inside is great for meeting with friends and is very modern. Although, I will caution you: it is challenging to get a seat. It's a decent spot for a pick-me-up or sweet treat.

    Cute aesthetic place - reminds me a bit of Japan. Matcha is pretty good. The baristas here have good attitudes. Line was a bit long - I probably waited about 20 minutes or so?

    This coffee place must be very popular, because they made a line outside, like if you're on line for a popular club to get in. I must have come at the right time because there was no one standing on this line when I showed up. When I stepped inside I actually didn't really know where the line to order was because you just had people standing to the left and right of me just chatting and some were sitting at small tables with friends, others alone sipping coffee and eating. When I figured out where to order from I ordered a cardamom latte and a cardamom bun. It was something I've never had before and was excited to try it. The latte reminded me of a chai latte just with a more intense flavor. Along with the bun that was its own star, it all went really well together. I will definitely pick up more of those buns in my future. I also got a strawberry and toasted milk choux, but the time I made it back home it wasn't a pretty picture to take. All the strawberry center on top had spilled out into the bag. It had the texture of a really soft cookie and after breaking it in half, I actually was not a fan. Although the fruit filling inside was tasty the rest of the cookie was just too mushy and wet for me. Not sure if it was even a cookie but that's what it reminded me of. I wouldn't purchase it again. My overall experience did turn out to be a good one. I would definitely like to stay in on my next visit. It had the busy coffee house vibe where you go to enjoy company and definitely not to go catch up any office work, it was very busy and quite noisy. I will definitely be back for that latte and bun again. Two thumbs up! Happy Yelping!

    So fire. We came here every morning on our NYC weekend trip. It was walking distance from where we stayed, and we just really loved it our first time so decided to stick with what we love. The pastries are good, the cold brew is good, the matcha is good. They're all really high quality. We have pretty high standards and these didn't disappoint. I think it says a lot when you're in NYC and have literally a million new places to try, but just keep coming back to a spot. Very solid and delicious. Would 10/10 recommend when in NY. Line was out the door when we came. Moved fairly quickly. Service was good. They definitely know what they're doing in there. Vibe inside is small but clean.

    The espresso here is very great, definitely above average for coffee shops in the city. Selection of pastries was great, the canele was delicious. A bit crunchy

    I've had Ten Thousand Coffee on my to-go list for the LONGEST. I finally went for the first time…read moreand there were so many drinks I wanted to try so I ended up buying 3. 1. The Jeju Green Tangerine Matcha honestly just tastes like a tangerine selter drink but in the best way, because I don't typically enjoy seltzer or carbonated beverages. I really enjoy the flavor and the carbonation isn't too strong, probably because I brought it home to drink. I don't really taste the matcha but I would definitely still order this again. 2. Matcha Einspanner. This is my first time having an Einspanner so I have no idea what I was expecting but this is DELICIOUS. It's so silky and smooth and the TASTE is just right up my alley. The matcha is light but you can still taste it. Absolutely, would drink this all the time if I could. 3. Purple Sweet Potato Latte. This. This. Omg, why haven't I tried this sooner?! The first sip and initial taste, I almost tasted nothing, just milk. And then all of a sudden, there's an explosion of flavor in your mouth. As a sweet potato lover, I was in heaven. I have absolutely no words for this drink, just try it. 100/10 recommend. This is probably my favorite one out of the 3 that I bought. I went around ... 2:45PM on a Friday and most of the seats were taken, if I remember correctly. There were a decent amount of seats and the space was decent. I liked the minimal aesthetic they had for the design of the interior. Not to forget, the staff at the register was absolutely wonderful, she answered all my questions, she's so sweet. I think I'm disappointed that I haven't tried this place sooner. Y'all get out of your comfort zone and try the Purple Sweet Potato Latte !! Or if not, just try this place out. I will definitely be recommending the Purple Sweet Potato Latte to all my family and friends.

    The shop was nice and clean and it wasn't too busy when we stopped by…read more I ordered the tiramisu einspänner, which was exactly what it sounded like a generous dollop of tiramisu on top of an einspänner latte. While it was a fun and unique drink, I probably should have opted for something else. The topping was literally like actual tiramisu rather than just tiramisu flavoring, and it felt like there was more ice and tiramisu than latte. Personally, I would have preferred more of the tiramisu flavor without the full tiramisu texture mixed into the drink. That said, it was an interesting concept and I'm glad I tried it. I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying another latte on a future visit.

    I probably never leave reviews in general, especially negative ones, but this experience was so…read moreegregious that I honestly felt like I had to say something. I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.
