A spiral bun made from enriched dough flavoured with freshly ground cardamom and filled with butter and sugar. La Cabra's Latin Quarter version is the signature of the Aarhus specialty coffee culture.
La Cabra introduced the cardamom bun to Aarhus in 2012 and made it the pairing item for their specialty filter coffee. The Nordic cardamom bun tradition is older, but La Cabra's version using freshly ground cardamom seeds rather than pre-ground powder set a new standard that influenced bakeries across Scandinavia.
