La Colombe Coffee Roasters

Spectacular coffee shop inside of an old and former warehouse, located in a nice and colorful neighborhood. A good place to have a coffee and a cookie. I had a cappuccino and a matcha tea cookie, the matcha tea cookie is a must try. Has a nice sweet and salty taste to it with matcha tea powder to add extra flavor and dried fruit as well... It's green in color, too.

Nice atmosphere and great coffee.

However there is no WiFi and only two tables are near outlets. It is possible to connect to the WeWork WiFi upstairs though.

When you think something is great, 9 times out of 10, so does everyone else… La Colombe Coffee Roasters is that great coffee shop you will love.

For starters, it is a fantastic atmosphere. If you are into a very studio apartment or modern office space vibe, then this is the coffee shop for you. It is bright, clean, great coffee and good coffee shop snacks. If you are looking for that modern coffee shop with a nice clean bright vibe, then head over to La Colombe. But you better run…

With all those great points there are a few things about this coffee shop that fall a bit short and seating is one of them. If you plan to visit this coffee shop on a Saturday, you might as well stay home. The past three weeks I have walked into La Colombe around 10:30-11am it has been packed with no seating what so ever. This happens quite a lot. You can check google analytics for their busiest times but they are always busy… To La Colombe’s credit, they do have several other coffee shops sporting the same vibe and image all over downtown. So if you biked over to one La Colombe that is packed, you can always ride another mile down the road to another one and claim a spot there.

Another major point to include about La Colombe is that they do not have wi-fi…like at all. I know there are some coffee shops around the area that shut of wi-fi at certain times like weekends and happy hour, but La Colombe has none. You can sometimes hop onto a neighbors wi-fi in certain locations but in the store, you are out of luck. So if you are planning on doing some serious web surfing or uploading of anything this is not going to be that place. However, if you are looking for a quiet place distraction free from the social media black hole, then I can see how it can be very advantageous.

Other than that, I think La Colombe is a fantastic coffee shop with a great vibe and atmosphere for hardcore book worms and casual meet ups. I see lots of business professionals meeting there as an almost free workspace location. So if this sounds like the kind of place you want to hang out at I highly recommend it. But you better get there early.

I didn’t like the coffee… two shots tasted like water. Also, they don’t have WiFi in case you wanted to dine in and work.

Delicious tea and great atmosphere, but needs better seating

Good diversity of near Eastern foods, fairly accurately rendered. Spice (heat) could be kicked up a bit in harissa. Chermoula lacked a citrus-y zing. But overall very nice. However, tables very closely crowded together.

Excellent. Jasmine is such a delight. Thank you for making La Colombe a safe and comfortable space.

Not friendly in this place. Reminded me of one of those prison movies where they slap a blog on the tray and yell NEXT. Walked in just now and the young man did not great, just pointed as I figured out where to order. Then he tossed my food at another window and did not risk, just dropped on the counter and walked off

Great coffee but please explain why a coffee shop opens so late in the morning (8am)? I am never able to go here even though it is in my neighborhood because of the hours

I’ve now had several experiences here where the employees that work here have spoken to me in such a rude, unwelcoming, and belittling way that I never want to come back. The first time, I figured it was someone having a bad day and gave them the benefit of the doubt but now that it’s multiple times with different people I think there is something with the team here that breeds negativity.
