I had high hopes but honestly left disappointed. The espresso was over extracted & acidic & I threw it away. It felt like a pretentious image-conscious place rather than a truly good coffee shop. Would not go again.

No atmosphere. It has changed names but the google name remains. Delicious desserts but coffee & desserts extremely overpriced. $40 for 2 coffee & two desserts to share.
No inside bathroom & a very cold ambience.

this has hands down the best coffee in town & pastries! i've been to La Cabra in both CPH & NYC - it reminded me a lot of the days i've spent living in copenhagen & the NY branch does not even come close to the quality here.
