La Cabra
Specialty coffee roaster · 12+ locations · Aarhus, Copenhagen, NYC, Muscat, Bangkok
La Cabra is a Danish roaster whose founder keeps turning down acquisition offers. Twelve locations across three continents, all still owned by the man who started it in Aarhus.
The Big Picture
Esben Piper grew La Cabra from one Aarhus café in 2012 to twelve locations on three continents with no outside investment reported, and he has turned down offers to buy it. No wage or labor cases have been reported against it in the US or Denmark. It names no farms, so its sourcing can't be checked publicly. La Cabra answers to its founder.
