La Cabra Bakery
About
Many note that the matcha is sourced from Kettl, which explains why their matcha is one of the best they've had. The taste is described as perfectly earthy and not too sweet, often served with good foam or texture. While some find it a bit bitter but still of high quality, others appreciate its bright green color. Guests also highlight the cardamom bun as a standout item, frequently mentioned for its deliciousness. However, there are mixed feelings about pastries like croissants and pain au chocolat, which can be dry or flavorless at times. The atmosphere is intentionally minimalist, creating a calm and clean space that's often busy but still welcoming. The service is generally polite and attentive, though some find the selection size limited and the coffee too sour. Overall, while there are pros and cons, La Cabra Bakery remains a go-to spot for matcha lovers in NY.
