The best coffee in dc! Their almond biscotti is really good too; reminds me of an Arabic sweet we have called girshala.

Fast fun and friendly service. Great for grab and go place but seating is a little tight.

There are some tables on the sidewalk but they don’t have a barrier so you get some street folks up in your business.

The coffee here is great. Most people say that in reviews, but let me explain because I have a bit higher requirements when it comes to coffee.

They pull proper shots using freshly roasted beans that they roast locally. They use single origins and blends, roasts are light to medium, and they take every beverage they serve you seriously.
This is craft coffee.
They take care of every aspect from roast to brew to ensure you have the best beverage experience.

There are no McDonald-style push button machines and dark over roasted coffee like this national “premium” coffee stores. This place uses actual skills and are true baristas.

Cold brew coffee tastes like watered-down nothing. Ham & cheese croissant was okay, but lacked flavor and hardly any filling. Also, no wifi.

Atmosphere is nice though.

Delicious mochas! Made with real cocoa powder instead of chocolate syrup, which makes all the difference.

Great coffee! Don't forget to try their Workshop blends which rotates regularly. Friendly staff and quick service!

On a scale from Starbucks to Blue Bottle this is 3 Stars. Beans are a little on the mass production and slightly burned side. Not a ton of complexity.

Place is cool had the Burundi pour over and staff were super friendly and coffee was legit I’m in the coffee business and definitely worth stopping past.

I love the flavor of this coffee, I am not big fan of latte but this is the place to try it. I am hooked on to draft latte and cant wait to taste the other types.everytime I go there I get my draft latte and have taken so many folks from work to this place and everyone shares the same feedback.everyone loved it so far. I dont mind walking 3 blocks away to get my afternoon coffee.

Traditional espresso and draft lattes that will impress. Starbucks will never be the same after having this coffee.

I wish I could come up with a big-picture positive thing to say about La Colombe. The coffees you get are tiny, but just as expensive as larger options at other competitors nearby. Their selection is small and if you want any kind of drink outside the basics you're out of luck. And none of those basics really blow me away either. If you're really into artisanal coffee it might be worth a stop, but it doesn't do much for me.

Outstanding coffee but not many tables and they don't provide wifi. This is a true coffee shop with almost no other food. Really enjoyed the draft latte and the prices are outstanding.

For the coffee. Some of the best in the city. I get it to go because I don't love their seating. But the coffee is so good, I can't resist.

Tried the light roast coffee and a postachio kouign amann. The combination hit the spot for breakfast.

Draft lattes are a must. Black and tan, half cold brew, half draft lattes is incredible. One taste and you'll forget what those chains coffee places are.

Finally a store front! This was long overdue for La Colombe. Situated right next to Farragut West it gets a lot of foot traffic, good for business but bad if trying to find a seat. Note that only the corner seat has an outlet if you're coming to do work. The draft latte and water (sparkling and still) are my go to beverages. Hoping more will pop up around DC.

I went to here the first time today. I was indecisive and I didn't know what I want. I wanted a pressed juice AND a black and tan. The cashier thought I wanted just the juice. I waited for a little and didn't get the coffee so I told them that I wanted the coffee too. They made it right away and didn't even make me pay for it! Will most def come back.

Good coffee beverages, but pricier than the competition at Compass (now with two locations directly nearby). I get coffee two or three times a week and so I go to both places. I get my daily grind at Compass and a splurge drink at La Colombe when the mood takes me.

It's a comfort to know that no matter which La Colombe location you visit, you can expect the same great quality of beverage and service. The staff here are friendly and make excellent lattes.

Their coffee is very good. The place itself is very nice and comfortable. But we visited them during a very calm time so my experience in terms of comfort is a good measure. I strongly suggest to try their coffee and pastry.

This is one of my favorite places to get coffee! The store is cozy and lines are generally out the door. They have a full range of La Colombe offerings - coffee beans, drinks, and food items.

Service is good and quick for the most part.

I love their draft coffees - both from the keg and even the canned version. My go to drink here is "Black and Tan"!
