La Colombe Coffee Roasters

A good place to have a coffee
Nice environment

Good coffee. Too bad they don't have WiFi.

So...Great coffee, yes. Overpriced, yes. But look at the menu before you go, and you better have your order ready.
People working there hate their job and dont want to deal with you AT ALL. Had questions about the menu and the response by the man standing at the door is: menu is outside. This is while the music is blasting and he is whispering behind his mask.
Rushed thru my coffee and proceeded to another counter to pay.
Both yelling and waived Good morning to the barriesta, who also wanted nothing to do with the customers.
I get it, covid, but surly communicate with your customers and at least make them feel welcome so they come back. I certainly wont be back!

This cup is not half empty, nor is it half full... What it is, my friends, is absolutely delightful — and that is full enough for me!

Large, lots of natural light, good coffee, love it.

Can get pretty crowded due to popularity, but also offers the upside of standing level tables (with optional stools) in case your back doesn't want you to be sitting.

Quality coffee from this Philly-based roastery. It's roomier than their other DC locations, but space fills up fast and the acoustics are bad. However, it's a great spot for coffee or their well-crafted espresso drinks, a pastry or their yummy draft latte.

BLUF (bottom line up front): service is horrible and rudely arrogant. There’s a lot of other coffee places around the area with same quality or even better products and service.

We came in and ordered, and I guess after you pay, the baristas don’t really care to show any type of service or consideration to the fact that you just gave them business.

After picking up the overpriced iced drinks we ordered (very watered down, and has a weird after taste to it), we tried to be kind and say we didn’t need the extra things they provided us, but no response or acknowledgement (and no, there was nobody ordering at that time). Okay, not a problem. Still maybe a 3.5 stars with a C-average service (at this point) and C-average coffee for a C-average price.

So for a venue that is nice and open, there was hardly any open table that 2 people can just join and drink coffee, so seeing that there was no traffic at all at the spacious bar area that they have, we decided to grab a couple of stools from a table and sit at the end of the bar. The next thing we know, one of the baristas (guy in a blue SnapBack working on a Sunday around 1:30pm) placed (quite forcefully) a plate with a to go cover in front of us. We kindly said we didn’t need it. But he answered “oh this is for another customer.” The rest of the bar surface area and the front was empty; he could have placed this at another area, but he decided to place it in front of us. So I said, “can we not sit here?” He said in an arrogant tone, “No this isn’t for sitting, it’s for others to pick up their orders.”

We came to this shop to cool down and get some coffee, not to be rudely talked to in a passive aggressive manner. If we can’t sit there, then just tell us in a kind manner instead of being snooty and silently slam down something in front of us as an indication of ‘get the eff out of this counter’. We are paying customers, communicate and treat us with some good service.

It has more seatings than in other branches/coffee shops. Staff is friendly and it has a nice decor and vibes. I wish they could warm up their pastry though.

Great service and ambiance, with such a friendly staff! I ordered an oat milk chai latte that was so good. It's an ideal place to relax and have a nice chat with a friend or colleague over a delicious beverage.

I love the draft lattes and cold brew, and the china cups and saucers are a nice touch. They managed to make a large industrial space feel cozy with the design, and it's a nice place to relax with coffee.
