As someone who is from Philadelphia that has moved to Boston I’m very happy to see La Colombe coffee shops here. I used to walk to the Rittenhouse everyday for their coffee and I must say this location did not disappoint! Wonderful coffee as always, so not surprised there. Staff was attentive, kind, and a joy to interact with. Also, this location was not as busy so we got our coffee fast! Don’t pass this place up!
I love La Colombe but today I got an oat milk draft latte filled with mostly foams. I took this picture literally 2 minute after my purchase when the foams are disappearing, and found that there’s only a 1/3 cup of coffee. Never happened before in other branches and this is very disappointing
Very small but nice coffee shop. We enjoyed the cold brew and hot coffee as well as Café Madeleine's pain au chocolate.
Good quality coffee with disappointed service - rolled her eyes at me for no reason. She might have a bad day as she was the one barista/ assistant at the coffee shop when I stopped by. Still, such a pity that some people feel privileged by treating others badly. Not my lucky day.
If you’re looking for a rare coffee experience La Colombe is one of the best places to start. I highly recommend their rich blend cold brew. But even the darker hot blends are smooth and rich. It has a decent amount of seating for a small neighborhood cafe Leather District across from South Station, which makes it a good place to work. But—at least the last time I was there—they didn’t provide Internet. Perhaps they’ve changed. The prices are a bit high $3 for a small hot coffee, but its well worth the guilty pleasure. For coffee fans, it’s a must visit!
I was really excited to try a draft latte but it tasted very weak and mostly like milk. not sure if it was a fluke but probably wont try again given the price.
Nice place but could use more seating inside. We drank a coffee berries tea that was amazing! They have extremely interesting tea choices. They have 2 faucets on the bar facing the customers where you could get your own water without asking for their help.
Coffee and pastries are very good. Things to improve: *Ambience: Music slightly loud if you want to do some work there. Staff went in and out of the coffee stand multiple times which is fine slapping the door very hard this is not. *Temperature: You were not able to feel the difference between being outside or inside, it was so cold that I wasn’t able to remove my jacket. I really like their coffee and pastries, but, there are few things that they can improve at this location and make an overall outstanding experience like in most of the rest La Colombe Coffee shops.
Great coffee - I got the pure black & tan, the nitro gives it such great creaminess, no bitterness whatsoever. I do feel like like the nitro also might hide some fruitier flavors of the coffee though. The draft latte was wicked tasty but I bet a full cup of it might be a bit too much to handle. 4 stars only because the place is fairly loud - not the people, but there's a lot of banging of saucers going on and I think 2 or 3 items were shattered by staff while I was there which came as a bit of a surprise. The coffee is definitely top notch though - I think if you're a fan of blue bottle, this place has a similar feel
Great atmosphere, friendly staff! The black and tan is, as everyone else mentioned, amazing- an inventive way to serve iced coffee. Pastries are equally great, and I love the unique plates!
