La Colombe Coffee Roasters

UPDATE: This location is only okay. Staff lacked knowledge of coffee and unfortunate La Colombe usually don’t specialize and offer light roasts. Got a Guatemala medium roast pour over - was drinkable. The tables and space, sadly, we’re filthy and gross. I used napkins and hand sanitizer to clean the crumbs and residue off my table. For better, clean space and higher quality light roast coffee, visit Elixir, which is a block away on 16th and JFK.

Love this place! Nice location, always had good coffee, restrooms clean, employees nice. Only downside is hours - which they stayed open later

The quality of the coffee is enough on its own to bring you back, but then you are greeted warmly and accommodated efficiently. These folks know how to make you feel welcome, even when the line gets a bit absurd. Some of my friends are dairy sensitive, and they love the recent upgrade of the almond milk used here. Don't even get me started on the pastry selection they bring over from their Fishtown location fresh every morning...

One of the best coffee roasters. I prefer their espresso over any other place in Philadelphia. Its smooth but strong, perfection! Pastry counter is always clean and neat. Selection is good as well. Must go!

Simply awful customer service. We ordered a coffee and were waiting off to the side for our Uber to arrive (it was raining and extremely cold outside). The barista essentially kicked us out for waiting inside, even though we were out of the way with our masks on. I was shocked at that level of disrespect. It was uncalled for.

Coffee was really great, strong and unique. Order your croissant warmed up, I didn’t

The cold brew is delicious.

Favorite!
Delicious baked goods and everything is much cheaper than the Starbucks.

Gorgeous space, though line is confusing when you get in the door. Really enjoyed my iced mocha!

Good coffee, pretty clean cafe. Wish they sold some branded items.

The best chocolate chip muffins ever! The line gets long but it always moves quickly and if you have questions the baristas are very helpful. Also a great place to sit and people watch if you can get a table. It's significantly less crowded on weekends.
