When you think something is great, 9 times out of 10, so does everyone else… La Colombe Coffee Roasters is that great coffee shop you will love. For starters, it is a fantastic atmosphere. If you are into a very studio apartment or modern office space vibe, then this is the coffee shop for you. It is bright, clean, great coffee and good coffee shop snacks. If you are looking for that modern coffee shop with a nice clean bright vibe, then head over to La Colombe. But you better run… With all those great points there are a few things about this coffee shop that fall a bit short and seating is one of them. If you plan to visit this coffee shop on a Saturday, you might as well stay home. The past three weeks I have walked into La Colombe around 10:30-11am it has been packed with no seating what so ever. This happens quite a lot. You can check google analytics for their busiest times but they are always busy… To La Colombe’s credit, they do have several other coffee shops sporting the same vibe and image all over downtown. So if you biked over to one La Colombe that is packed, you can always ride another mile down the road to another one and claim a spot there. Another major point to include about La Colombe is that they do not have wi-fi…like at all. I know there are some coffee shops around the area that shut of wi-fi at certain times like weekends and happy hour, but La Colombe has none. You can sometimes hop onto a neighbors wi-fi in certain locations but in the store, you are out of luck. So if you are planning on doing some serious web surfing or uploading of anything this is not going to be that place. However, if you are looking for a quiet place distraction free from the social media black hole, then I can see how it can be very advantageous. Other than that, I think La Colombe is a fantastic coffee shop with a great vibe and atmosphere for hardcore book worms and casual meet ups. I see lots of business professionals meeting there as an almost free workspace location. So if this sounds like the kind of place you want to hang out at I highly recommend it. But you better get there early.

Spectacular coffee shop inside of an old and former warehouse, located in a nice and colorful neighborhood. A good place to have a coffee and a cookie. I had a cappuccino and a matcha tea cookie, the matcha tea cookie is a must try. Has a nice sweet and salty taste to it with matcha tea powder to add extra flavor and dried fruit as well... Its green in color, too.

Definitely try the Pure Black or the Draft Latte which are on tap. If you dont want as much milk as a latte, go for a Black and Tan (I think thats what its called), which is half Pure Black and Half Draft Latte. If youre into something with no milk, go for the Pure Black.

Quality coffee from this Philly-based roastery. Its roomier than their other DC locations, but space fills up fast and the acoustics are bad. However, its a great spot for coffee or their well-crafted espresso drinks, a pastry or their yummy draft latte.

I love the draft lattes and cold brew, and the china cups and saucers are a nice touch. They managed to make a large industrial space feel cozy with the design, and its a nice place to relax with coffee.

Good coffee, just dont go looking for pumpkin spice, vanilla, etc. This is real coffee. Few outlets available for charging so maybe talk to people or read a book instead of just working all day.

Third La Colombe in Shaw and the newest of the bunch. Wait times are longish as they are working out kinks but its the same quality coffee in colorful mugs in a stunning industrial space.

Good coffee as always and good staff, however: even though the space is large seats are hard to come by on the weekend and couples with children treat the space as a day care.

Good coffee. Friendly staff. Love the location and staff! Prices are standard. Many coffee options available, from espresso, to iced coffee, Pour over and latte.

I was there a 7 AM when they opened. Good coffee, good selection, tasty scones, and friendly staff. What more could you want from a coffee shop.

Typical slight smugness that you get from some baristas but wonderful coffee, good environment and plenty of seating options.

coffee and tea is BOMB. They are normally crowded, but when you can find a seat, it is amazing for meeting up with others.

A less than smooth opening. The service is rude and they are always running out of things. P.s. no WiFi.

Coffee is good, like many other places in the area. Service is rude though.

Good coffee, $$$ but worth it and 50c refills on drip light or dark roast.
