Love La Colombe, but what happened to the pastries…. Did the chef switch up the croissants or something? The ham and cheese totally changed! And so did the almond one… sad!

This is honestly one of my favorite cafes in Philly. Perfect place to work in, meet up with a friend or get something to go. My favorite is the ham & cheese croissant!

The only thing I would say is that when ordering, it can feel very rushed and the workers could do a better job being patient with customers as they decide what they want.

Came here looking for some good coffee and was pleasantly surprised with both the coffee and the unique ambiance of this location. While certainly not the most convenient place to drive to, the parking is abysmal, if your in the area it's a wonderful place to sit and enjoy a coffee. The location was once sometime of commercial or industrial business and they have kept the vibe intact while creating a very welcoming space to sit with friends and enjoy a bite and some coffee.

The food offerings are limited and to a degree so are the coffees, what they do offer they do well, visited the place twice and when we are back in town looking forward to bringing my wife. It is surprisingly spacious and not too boomy as it has been crowded for both of my visits. The baked goods looked great although I didn't try them, however the dark roast coffee was very good. Would like to have tried the pour over but it was only available in a light blend and I prefer a robust dark blend. Stop by and sit and enjoy some time in a pretty unique coffee house, I think you'll be glad you did.

I do like La Colombe, but I don't find their coffee to be anything extra special compared to other coffee brewers. Atmosphere is usually a slam dunk, food is good, but sometimes they try too hard to be artisan. My pet peeve is the lack of outlets for people to come and do work and NO WIFI. I assume they do this on purpose to keep a revolving door, but that's a major oversight and flaw compared to other coffee shops that understand people may want to come in and do work for a while while enjoying their menu. Seems like a big middle finger to customers to not offer internet access, saying "enjoy our food and atmosphere, but we don't want you to stay here for any extended period of time. "

I love it here. The draft lattes are my favorite. The fresh bread is so reasonably priced for such delicious quality. Their pastries and breakfast sandwiches are phenomenal. If I wasn't a stay at home mom I'd be asking for an application because it seems like such a cool place to work. Vines are always good.

Loved this spot! Super cute little coffee spot located very close to the strip district. They had some delicious holiday drinks, like the Chai Cider. Wonderful and fast service too!

Wanted to try this place out for the first time. Noticed there was no menu behind the counter, so I asked the barista if they had a menu available. She looked at me like I was an idiot and stated, “what we have is what we have. ” I walked out.

Food, service, and atmosphere is nice. The roast of coffee is terrible as always. I'm not a fan the Colombe brand at all but the rest of the cafe is nice. Very spacious, though some of that space was filled with laptop study / novelist types.

Quick service and large location. I work remotely here sometimes and there’s no wifi for working there and limited outlets but if you find a place closer to the windows you have phone service to connect to. Their breakfast sandwich is good along with their lemon scone. Overall i like the vibe here and would recommend.
