La Cabra

La Cabra is why Aarhus gets mentioned in the same sentence as Copenhagen when the talk turns to coffee. The roasts are light and acidic, the bar is pared-back Scandinavian, and there are always a couple of single origins on filter.

They roast their own and sell beans both in the shop and by subscription, and they bake in house. The croissants disappear before midday, so come in the morning if the pastry matters.

Open Monday to Saturday from eight to six and Sunday from nine to five. Graven is in the middle of the Latin Quarter, a few minutes' walk from Store Torv.

Sit by the window and ask for the filter of the day if you want to understand what the house can do. It suits a morning with a book, a meeting without a meeting room, and anyone who wants to take beans home. There are seats outside in summer.
