Nice, airy space right across from City Hall and Dilworth Park. Tasty, well made handcrafted coffees. And they have a self-serve area with a variety of sweeteners and dairy/non-dairy carafes so you can fine tune your coffee as desired
Very good place to drink coffee in the morning, the staff serves quickly so that the long snaking queue is quickly passed. The taste of the coffee is world class, the view of Philadelphia city hall. recommended place
I'm always happy to support La Colombe, a Philadelphia origin cafe, when I can. I always know I will be getting excellent coffee properly crafted for the perfect cafe experience. This location, ultra-conviniently located in Center City, has always provided great service and reliable coffee. Their pastries are tasty, too!
Been here several times already. Love the vibes with the city hell view so much. Might be crowded most of the time but I like this spot.
Coffee is so aromatic and flavorful. No need to add extra shots as regular coffee is still strong enough
This place is constantly busy, and the croissant was excellent. It has rich coffee. I adore the taste; the richness wafts from the moment you walk in. It's a fantastic spot for informal conversations, but I wouldn't advise working here for two reasons: first, there isn't free WiFi, and second, it's usually too busy. Still, if you can manage that, then go ahead and do it. Every morning, the bakery food is freshly prepared; yet, it is served room temperature since the bakery items are not reheated. I had their Hazelnut Oat Latte during the seasonal offer, and it was excellent. Though I wish it were larger, it will do since consuming too much coffee is not recommended.
I can’t believe how good this coffee was. It was one of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had. I had the oat latte. It was so flavorful, robust, yet smooth and creamy.
Coffee is particularly good quality and prices are really reasonable. Customer service (willingness to help make comfortable) is also particularly good. My new fav coffee chain
