It's been years since I've been somewhere that has a La Columbe shop so I was excited to see there was one near our hotel. I got the same thing I got last time, a latte, and it tasted pretty much the same as the last time I had it. It was expertly crafted with smooth espresso, just the right amount of foam, with lovely latte art. As for food, I think they've definitely diversified their offerings as they now have some very nice looking pastries, including croissants and muffins. I saw they had canelé de Bordeaux which is like spotting a unicorn so I knew I had to try it out. It was alright, not the best rendition I've had but I'm glad they offer it and it was still an enjoyable indulgence. I shared it with the kiddo who absolutely loved it. Pricing was fair for the quality of food and coffee. Service was very friendly.
I went in around 9 am on a weekday morning, thinking the morning rush of workers would have passed because that's when work starts. I was wrong. This location had a long line that moved slowly (only 2 baristas when I went) and the available tables were not wiped down (had wet spots from coffee and water, sticky from food). That being said, the coffee is always solid and I enjoyed my seasonal latte (strawberry mocha).
I tried their peaches and cream latte with oatmilk, and a shot decaf expresso. It was excellent. I grab one before I walked around city center. Loved the atmosphere. Staff were so nice! This is definitely on my list of go to's...
I surprisingly enjoyed this coffee spot more than I thought I would - all factors considered! (I think I was assuming that it would be another basic/expensive coffee shop in DC). Now, of course, it was slightly pricy. With that said, though, it was very delicious and it almost felt "worth it" (lol) (compared to other shops where I'm like, "meh, another basic/average expensive shop again"). Service was good, ambiance was cute and clean - I would return!
Double espresso heaven. I love their coffee, hands down my favorite, and the variety of pastries is too tempting to pass up.
Needed a place with some coffee for a bit and this place fit the bill. Got the cold brew with some oat milk and it went down smooth from the draft they have. Service was quick too. And there was good seating to return some emails too. A nice place to grab some coffee.
I love this place! I asked if I could get my latte in a mug and they made it so beautifully. I enjoyed sitting in there as their windows make a nice ambiance for taking in being in DC.
This is a super cute coffee shop with great brick layout, huge windows, and nestled in a artsy decorated alleyway. The staff is super friendly straight when you walk in and the coffee itself is pretty good as well. Rich and creamy with ornate mugs. The only thing that felt lacking was the Danish. It was a bit on the dry side and didn't have the richness we were hoping for. Either way it was still a great spot.
The coffee here is great. I almost always get the Corsica. It's dark, rich, chocolatety. They often have guest coffees which can really demonstrate the differences in single bean coffees. They are absolutely worth trying so you understand the different coffee flavors. The staff is always great, friendly, hip and efficient. The only ding I can give them is their spoons. They are clean, but they don't look clean. Don't worry about the spoons, just enjoy the coffee!
Probably my favorite coffee chain right now! I love the Chinatown location; it's super rustic and very appealing with its indoor exposed brick. I get the oat black and tan, and it's delicious every time. The staff is very kind and inviting, and I pride myself on being a regular here. In La Colombe we trust!
Didn't know La Colombe had physical cafes but I'm glad they do! When I came, they ran out of their coffee on tap so I got and iced latte and thought it was really good. The coffee quality was good and smooth and the taste wasn't over powered by the milk. I really liked the ratio and balance of the latte. I worked there for a little bit and there was plenty of tables.
A New Yorker is rating this coffee shop It's just beginning of Chinatown. A good environment outside and inside. If we didn't find a Strawberry drink outside......, perhaps no one recognized here. Brick walls cozy house outside, and you'll enjoy and find a place for seating. it's all self-services and one bathroom set. Enjoy the energy and atmosphere. Across the street from cafe, there's a grass on and chairs for everyone. (Public space I believe.) Since many ppl adding inside photos, I added outside photos.
La Colombe is a great coffee shop experience found throughout the District! Whether it be catching up with a friend or getting some work done, La Colombe provides a comforting ambiance that is very aesthetic and photo-worthy. I visited the Chinatown location with my sister on a sunny Saturday afternoon. I really loved the brick structure throughout this location and found the inside to be clean, spacious, and inviting. Keep in mind there is only one floor and seats fill up quickly! I've tried the Vanilla Latte and Matcha at La Colombe in Farragut West (which I really enjoyed), so I wanted to take the opportunity to try something new. I decided on their Cold Brew with Whole Milk and Vanilla. The Cold Brew was a bit sour, but paired well with the milk and flavoring making it lightly sweet and savory. Keep in mind the vanilla syrup is an extra dollar, which I personally don't appreciate. The service was quick and answered all questions I had about the various drinks. If you find yourself near one, I would definitely check out La Colombe, despite its quality being a bit hit or miss based on its location. I look forward to trying the Half Tan, a half Cold Brew - half draft latte mix, sometime soon!

I stopped in for coffee while in town. Service was quick. The woman at the cash register was not really friendly, however the barista was friendly and welcoming. I ordered a large peach cobbler latter (seasonal beverage) and it was delicious. I was able to get in and out without a long wait. The atmosphere is cozy, there were a lot of locals sitting and working on their laptops when I visited on a Sunday. I will definitely visit again, this coffee shop did not disappoint. read more

The drinks here were good but lukewarm warm. They remade our drinks after we asked for them to be extra hot but they still weren't even remotely hot. The service was friendly and the shop was nice and quaint but I wouldn't come back here because of the temperature of the drinks. read more

Tasty coffee. Friendly staff. Spacious environment to catch up with friends or coworkers. If you are staying at the nearby hotels- skip the hotel coffee and come support this northeast business. There are more flavors than what you would see at Whole Foods or Amazon. I wish these good coffee roasters had more decaffeinated options. read more
Shut the front door ! I had no idea La Colombe had coffee houses. Their canned coffe drinks showed up in San Francisco market and the cold brew was exceptional! So I was a bit overjoyed that I was able to walk to a coffee shop they have a couple blocks from the convention center . I ordered a hot vanilla late and it was lovely . I feel so happy I got to go this gem of a coffe le house that has ample seating and super cool staff. This experience put a smile on my face! I hope they come out SF some day ! read more

Yummy and delicious!! We stopped in here after brunch for a little coffee pick me up. Very clean and quick service. Check them out read more
Still amazing. This location used to be my go-to when my office was nearby. When I moved offices across town, I no longer had a location near me. But having visited this location again recently, I am happy to report that their draft lattes are still the best. And their pastries are so flaky and delicious! Thanks for staying great. read more
I think this is the better coffee option in downtown DC area. Iced latte is good, it is served with a spoon to stir yourself. I did consider the draft latte, and I asked if it could be sweetened, and they said it couldn't. Another barista said that they could add syrup to it to the other customer after me. Oh well, maybe they did not understand my question.. The place is not big, but access is easy since it's located on the big road. There is another location nearby and it's kind of tucked in an alley way. There are some small tables available. I recommend this over other coffee places in the area (I tried those as well), and this one is the one I returned to in a few days I stayed in downtown DC. read more
Stopped by for a cappuccino prior to visiting the African American museum. Super cute cafe with seating both indoors and a small seating area right outside the store as well. Love their coffee cups and coffee! Their baked goods also looked really good so will definitely try them next time. Service was prompt and coffee was delicious! Would definitely come back here next time I'm in DC! read more

Always a great espresso. Top notch coffee purist drinks unlike some other places that just push a button, add "pumps" of sugary flavored syrups and call it a latte. This is real coffee made by real baristas. This particular location upheld the brand and culture shared at many of the other locations along with a super friendly and welcoming staff. I'm also inclined to like them a bit more for all that the company does for human rights, ethical, and other worthy causes. It's in their culture and you can read about it on their website. For me, I'll always seek out a La Colombe as they check all the boxes that a real coffee shop should. read more

Good coffee. I'm not a coffee guy but I really liked the oatmilk latte I ordered. It came from the tap and was so creamy. I definitely reccomend it. The service was super quick and the people are pretty chill here. We also ordered a cold brew and the total came out to around $11. Great ambiance for a little coffee date :). read more
I love this little coffee shop and I think the last time I visited it was about 4 years ago. It's just very quaint and I love the brick inside and outside. I came here after a doctor's appointment that I had on 9th Street so I could work remotely. When I came inside, the cashier was very welcoming and pleasant. While waiting for my cappuccino, I scooped out an area to work. I definitely need a plug outlet and a gentleman sitting down told me where they were all located. Thanks to this regular, I immediately started towards the one that was available. There was only one problem. There was a woman already sitting there and when she learned I needed an outlet, she immediately volunteered to move. That was really sweet of her and I really appreciate both of them looking out for me. Once my coffee was ready, I had to take videos and pictures. I love a good opportunity to take photos of beautifully made coffee. If you're looking for a place to work remotely, enjoy the service and appreciate the quietness, this is a great place to be. read more
