Very hip place with large sitting areas. I enjoyed the lively atmosphere with excellent taste of drinks. I know tap menus are signature but I enjoyed warm tea latte menus as well.

Highlight of the place is the chill atmosphere to work in. Coffee was good, but i wish their savory pastries were heated. Sweet potato danish was excellent, but more like pumpkin spice than true sweet potato.

La Columba Workshop

I don’t usually visit multiple locations of the same coffee chain. Once I’ve had the experience, I like to move on—unless something truly stands out. La Colombe’s Workshop in Philadelphia caught my attention because, well, it’s a workshop. I expected a higher level of craft, attention, and maybe even a touch of coffee magic.
Things started off promising. The young woman at the counter was warm, cheerful, and persuasive enough to convince me to try their Draft Latte S’mores. I was already in a good mood after a great stop at Persimmon Coffee earlier, so I took her suggestion and added a cortado to my order as well. Both were “for here.” Because, let’s be honest—a cortado always tastes better in a glass or ceramic cup.
My draft latte arrived first in a plastic to-go cup. No problem. I noticed the barista behind the counter chatting with friends. I waited for a pause in conversation and said politely, “Excuse me.” She looked at me, so I knew I had her attention. “Would you mind putting the cortado in one of those glasses? They taste better that way.”
The look she gave me could have curdled milk. Without a word, she handed me a paper cup and went right back to chatting. To be clear—there wasn’t a line, so it wasn’t a matter of being busy.
Here’s the thing: being a barista isn’t just about making coffee. It’s about connection. Small exchanges that turn caffeine into an experience. I don’t expect perfection. I do expect basic courtesy—especially when I’m spending $4 or $5 for a small drink. If you can’t or don’t want to serve a cortado in glassware, just say so. I once had a barista tell me, “They’re for decoration.” I can respect that kind of honesty.
Was the cortado good? I honestly couldn’t tell you. It’s hard to enjoy a good drink when the service leaves a sour aftertaste.
The space itself is beautiful—open, spacious, and ideal for getting work done. The experience was a toss-up: lovely at the counter, lacking behind the bar.
Still, I’ll keep enjoying life one cortado at a time… even when the service falls flat.

I’ve always hated how this place didn’t have wifi. I’m back in 2026 to comment THEY FINALLY HAVE WIFI! THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
But also I’ve always liked this place because the coffee is one of the few brands that helps me feel awake and the food is mostly good.
If you buy coffee beans from here, they give you a free cup.

This place is amazing! It was packed, however, the atmosphere didn’t feel like it was crowded. Everyone from the food service to the patrons of the restaurant. We’re all friendly, the food is amazing!!!! Everything that I tried was very, very good. The decor of the place kind of felt like outdoorsy, woodsy, camp fire like vibe. They have vegetarian as well as vegan options for my family who do not consume meat. They also have cold pressed juices that are fresh, different types of tea, coffee, lattes, and cappuccino. I highly highly recommend that you visit this place. You will not be disappointed ❤️

This was the best coffee we had on the east coast and probably makes my top ten on taste alone. We got a simple vanilla late and it was perfect. Not too sweat, very rich, creamy and a nice consistency.
The atmosphere is pretty top notch as well. The natural lighting, huge ceilings, wooden barel designs, and a twist on modern designs. Even with how busy it is, there is usually a good amount of seating. That being said, it is busy. The line wrapped around the display area but it went fast.
The staff was friendly and pretty fast for how many people were there. They have a Woodfire oven for pizza too which goes to show the quality of the food as well.
Overall it’s a top notch coffee shop that we will go to every weekend while we are here.

Definitely my favorite coffee shop in town. Very spacious, tons of tables and chairs. People are very welcoming and they’re very good at suggesting things. Their egg and cheese sandwiches are my favorite. Give them a try

This was my first time visiting here…. Loved the vanilla sugar donut, drip coffee, and latte; they have sparkling water and regular water as self serve for convenience. So many people come here to get studying done. If I had to nitpick, their music selection was a little goth-y lol. Will visit again with ear plugs.

Ive only had coffee here, which is expensive, but usually good. Today I got a breakfast sandwich and it was the saddest, driest, most over priced piece of bacon on a bun with a cold piece of american cheese. Honestly kinda mad, I just started a new job and dont really have money to be eating breakfast yet.

The place is amazing when you open the door and see the inside. The design is unique and cool. It’s the best Colombe I’ve been. There’s a lot of space and cool spot. I love having coffee and croissants here. Of course, I like taking some photos here too. Check it out!
