24/08/2026: La Cabra is a special bakery whose reputation extends far beyond the borders of Denmark. Accordingly, it always appears when you search online for the best bakeries in Denmark.
We also visited during our trip to Aarhus. The bakery is extremely stylishly furnished, clean, and features a viewing window into the bakery. The pastries are neatly displayed, each piece individually presented as if to be given special attention.
You can tell that La Cabra doesn't just want to be a bakery, but also aims to function as a brand with its Nordic purity. It's a shame there's no seating inside. Perhaps this was a deliberate choice to emphasize the tranquility of the shop? At least there's a bench outside the bakery where you can sit if you don't want to take your pastries to go or eat them elsewhere.
We opted for the classic cardamom bun and a cinnamon roll.
The cardamom bun was visually stunning. Exquisitely crafted, intricately shaped, and simply beautiful to behold.
The flavor was wonderfully buttery and sweet, with just the right amount of cardamom. The dough was soft yet chewy—not in a negative way, but rather in a way that prevented it from crumbling and offered a satisfying texture. Truly an outstanding pastry!
The cinnamon roll was different. It had a flaky, marbled, and slightly crispy dough with a light and airy bite. The cinnamon flavor was intense, and the roll was coated in a delicious glaze. Unexpected, but equally delicious. Presumably, it's a signature pastry, not an attempt to replicate the classic cinnamon roll, but rather, like the cardamom bun, a unique contrast.
We were absolutely impressed by both pastries and, like many before us, wholeheartedly recommend La Cabra to every visitor to Aarhus.
21/08/2026: We got a cinnamon bun, a cardamom bun, and a rye bread here. We haven't tasted the bread yet, but the 2 coffee cakes were very good.👌
If you aren't from Denmark, it is very pricey. (For 2 coffee cakes and 1 loaf, you currently pay around €10 in Belgium; here it was €19). But, still happy with our purchase; it was very good quality and very tasty! 😋
