La Cabra
About
Regulars praise the taste, noting it's 'really good and not too sweet or bitter.' However, some find the matcha 'very weak,' suggesting a mixed experience. Many appreciate the attentive service and the 'ceremonial' way of serving, which adds to the overall positive atmosphere. The iced matcha latte, while generally well-received, has been described as 'weak and milk-like' by one customer. Despite the high prices, reviews often mention that it's 'absolutely worth every penny,' thanks to the quality of both the drink and the ambiance. The cafe is known for its minimalist design and clean space, making it a serene spot in the heart of New York. With limited seating, however, finding a place can be challenging during peak hours. La Cabra's dedication to offering a perfect matcha experience makes it a top choice among locals and visitors alike.
