Great service and fresh pastry. Draft latte was so good I had to get a large! It was pretty quick and smooth for my first time.

I had a few hours to kill waiting for a family member at the hospital across the street. I just got a hot coffee and a cinnamon roll, but both were pretty good! Staff was friendly and helpful. The environment was a nice place to get some work done as well. Not many outlets if you're camping out, but fine for a few hours. Good mix of professionals, families, and college kids flowing through. read more

Got one of the draft lattes and it's soooo milky and flavorless. Can't taste any espresso. The service was friendly and fast but I would not go back. read more

Loved the s'mores Draft. Located in a very beautiful area as well. Parking may be a hassle to find but well worth the journey. Inside there is a lot of spaces to sit and clean as well. Staff are very friendly. read more

La Colombe, you've got great coffee and (coffee) bar drinks, an assortment of bakery items, nice sitting areas and high ceilings, love ya'!

Coffee was delicious. The website shows food but there is NO FOOD. Bring your own if you want to snack.

This is the best coffee spot on the main line. Always get a great cup of coffee. Plus there is free filtered water and free sparkling water!

Lovely morning coffee stop. I had the chance to check out La Colombe during my visit to Philly. Very nice atmosphere, plenty of seatings and staff were very friendly. I ordered the Iced Mocha, which was so delicious. Their coffee was bold and strong, that even with me ordering the mocha, the chocolate did not overpower the coffee taste. I also ordered their Cinnamon Danish, which was absolutely tasteful. read more

I've been to this location several times. Maybe not as big or "cool" as some other locations, but sufficient and free parking lot is a bonus. Staff have been pleasant enough and efficient. Pastries, while maybe not top tier, are really good. However, the drinks are the reason I have become a fan of La Colombe, no matter the location. read more

I know I will always get a great cup of coffee at la colombe! Only knocking off one star cause sometimes the line is long.

I really enjoyed my draft chai and the cinnamon roll/croissant pastry. Staff was very kind and patient as I asked her what she recommended since this was my first time here. Tons of seating and clean. My only gripe is the lack of menu signage. Unless I missed it, the only menu I saw was a paper menu haphazardly placed on top of the merchandise in the queue. Additionally, a sign highlighting the chai draft latte. That's all. It makes it pretty difficult for customers to figure out what is even offered here. La Colombe 's site doesn't have an online menu either. I had to resort to 3rd party sites to find a menu. These don't even include any seasonal drinks that may be available. For those I had to skim instagram. Pastry case did have a sign listing options. Not very friendly for first time customers and those with anxiety related to ordering. read more

La Colombe - Cinnamon Roll - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania

I usually go to Char & Stave in Ardmore when I'm in town, but they were closing unusually early for New Year's Eve. I try to avoid Starbucks, and La Colombe, which is definitely a fave among many in Philly, seemed to be open until 6. I wanted a few hours to do work. The Bryn Mawr outpost is in a little shopping "village," so there's free parking, which is a plus. It also has high ceilings and lots of tables, including some hightops, which is nice if you want to stand and work. However, it's not really meant for working. I saw only one set of outlets--fortunately, I got the hightop right next to them--and they don't have wi-fi. Obviously, that's a choice, and I understand that they may want to keep tables turning and deter the nearby student laptop crowd. I was, however, able to hop onto a nearby public network (and one can always hotspot). But I wouldn't come here to study for an extended period of time without a long-lasting laptop. My mocha was fine--better than Starbucks, though nothing special. I didn't get strong coffee notes in it. The latte art was pretty rushed. Now not everybody is a pro with design--and I don't expect them to be--but under the circumstances, it reinforced my overall sense that this is more of a corporate coffee spot with a staff that is just cranking things out. (Heck, Starbucks doesn't even try, and I appreciated real cups if you're staying to drink there.) There was certainly efficiency and a certain by-rote pleasantness, but nobody behind the counter seemed genuinely excited to be doing what they were doing. For example, people rarely smiled. Who knows--maybe with New Year's Eve they just wanted to be off and on a different day, it would be a completely different story. Again, not a bad spot at all, but to me it perfectly fits the rubric for "OK." read more

We have been going to this coffee shop since it opened. We like and coffee and some of the pastries. However, when we go there early in the afternoon, there is practically nothing left. Also, we cannot always find a table, so we have to take our coffee and leave or sit outside and drink it (weather permitting). It would be nice if there was another La Colombe in our area. read more

Not enough seating (ones they do have are uncomfortable) ran out of oat milk, didn't have soy milk, and doesn't have WiFi. This coffee shop sucks. read more

I have not been to this location for quite a while because I am not a huge fan of La Colombe coffee. However, this morning I had an hour to fill between a doctor's appointment and a lunch date with a friend, so I stopped in to get a cappuccino and a chocolate croissant. The cappuccino was just OK. The croissant was a total waste of money. It was dry and perhaps a day old and tasted like cardboard. The café was crowded, so I had to sit in a corner by two glass walls and it was freezing cold, with drafts coming through on all sides, although to be fair, it was only about 25° outside. I drank most of the coffee and threw away the croissant before I went to meet my friend for lunch. I won't bother to go back to this place again. read more

Coffee was definitely underwhelming. Also don't try to study/ work here. There are 2 outlets in the whole room and no WiFi. We had to use the WiFi from the CHOPT next door (which has much more convenient outlets!) read more

Excellent cold brew iced coffee, the creamiest, high quality oat milk that you can pour yourself, help-yourself free seltzer, and open at 7am on the weekend... These are all the reasons I'll be back here again, when I'm too sleepy to wait for my regular cafe to open on a weekend. read more

Went to Bryn Mawr location. Quite a line, but their staff had it move quickly. Simple order..black coffee and vanilla donut. Top notch on both. Was holding my La Colombe cup as I got on Radnor House elevator, and was told by another "that is the best coffee". Definitely agree and glad we moved close to a La Colombe location, will search out others in my travels. read more

Great to see this location super busy! The staff was kind when we spilled our coffee by accident. They ran over, wiped everything down and gave us a new coffee. Pastry selection was pretty well stocked for 11:30am in the morning. There's some outdoor seating which was nice! read more

NO WI FI!!! Coffee is good. Today what I needed was wi fi. People expect wi fi in a nice modern coffee shop. Not providing it is a poor business decision. I won't be back to this location. read more

I was with a couple of family members visiting from Boston and we decided to drive to Bryn and Dane's for breakfast. However, Bryn and Dane's was closed for Easter so we headed to La Colombe Coffee for breakfast. First, when coming in I found the restaurant to be very disorganized. There was no formal line and the cashier was multitasking. There was a real chaotic feel throughout the restaurant. While my family members went ahead and ordered their drinks, I picked up an orange juice. I also ordered a hot chocolate. While placing my order, I was interested in getting a bite to eat as well, but the variety of food was very limited. There were only a few limited bakery items and some pre-made salads. Starbucks has much better food options. La Colombe should definitely improve in this area. While I was disappointed in the food options at La Colombe, I was fairly satisfied with the drinks. The orange juice that I had was very fresh and had a nice sweet taste. The orange juice wasn't made in house, but rather by the Liquiteria. However, I was find because the product was very good. I also found the hot chocolate to be very tasty as there was a nice creamy texture and a distinct chocolate taste. I wish La Colombe offered a choice of whipped cream on top of the hot chocolate. Also, I didn't find the staff to be the best at La Colombe. While they did their job they were not the friendliest or most personable. There is plenty of seating inside this La Colombe and a couple of tables and spots to eat outside. Altogether, this La Colombe offers some tasty drinks in a nice environment, but they need to improve in the areas of actual food and the friendliness of their staff. read more

Tip: If you buy a pack of coffee beans (as opposed to buying it at a store), they give you a free cup of coffee Good spot for coffee. Almond croissant is my favorite pastry. read more

Sad this is the only real place you can give feedback easy to a coffee shop. They usually want customer feedback but are rarely ever listening to the customers actual problems. I've been coming to this location for years and it's disappointing with all the transitions that have happened that this shop let their best employee fall through the cracks. Total ace and always so friendly and helpful with everything from coffee to regulars to holding the door, etc. He's not the only one who you can see the change has impacted. The afternoon staff seems uninterested in anything anymore as well. Why would you not use your best resources to keep your company afloat instead of burning your best employees until they want to quit? read more

La Colombe has definitely gone downhill. The tables and floor need to be cleaned and there were 3 dogs in the restaurant this morning which is against PA law-the staff refused to do anything about the dogs. Service was slow. One staff member spent over 10 minutes socializing with friends instead of serving customers. They frequently run out of food. Very disappointing service and quality. read more

La Colombe is my favorite coffee beans of all time. I'm so happy that they have a location in the suburbs. This particular one has plenty of seating and never as crowded as the Fishtown one. My only critique is I feel as though there are less coffee drinks options than the main location. Nonetheless it's perfect for doing work , going on a coffee date and catching up with a friend read more

Walking into this place it's was pretty packed (Saturday around 11am) waited in line for a good few mins but the barista's made sure to keep it moving, asked everyone what they would like ahead of time. I ordered a small cappuccino and the total came to 3.75. I thought that was a decent price. It was really nice watching the barista make my drink. I was actually really amazed on how quick he was going and he had so many orders just told to him so he was going off of memory. Sadly because it was prettt crowded there were no tables available except a bench with a tiny table...so alittle uncomfortable but not the worst thing in the world. I was really wishing for some art on my drink but I'm guessing it was because of how busy they were. The taste of my drink was actually very nice and pleasant. Rich and the right amount of creamy, you can tell they're using good beans for their espresso. It only took me about 6 or 7 mins to finish because again it was a small, but also the fact that I couldn't stop sipping. The customer service was very friendly and definitely efficient. If they were nice and good at a busy time, I could only imagine how good they would be at a slower time. Alright alright let's get to the end of this review Atmosphere? Very nice and inviting Service? Good and efficient Price? Decent Taste? Very good and fulfilling 4 coffee beans out of 5 read more

i don't know why this la colombe location is so lowly rated, but it has been a great experience for me each and every time! i used to go to undergrad at villanova and came here really often by myself or with friends, and their coffee, staff, pastries, and space has not failed me ONCE. my absolute favorite is the almond croissant: it has this delicious light custard filling in the middle and the outside is always flaky and covered in almond goodness. a STAPLE spot. read more

We came here on a Sunday afternoon for a cup of coffee. We were able to find a table almost immediately even though the place was quite busy. I ordered a regular cup of coffee, and it was served in a very beautiful mug. After I sat down and opened my laptop, I realized that there was no WiFi! When I looked around for a outlet, I realized that only two of the seats in the back had access to an outlet. I was still able to get some work down with my phone's hotspot before my laptop died. The coffee was great, and refills are only $.75. After getting finishing my second cup, I found the restroom in the back corner. The bathroom did not have have latch lock, just the push button lock attached to the handle. I made sure I locked my door, and checked twice. However, another customer was able to pull it open with a bit of force while I was still in the restroom. I would suggest someone to watch the door from the outside or for them to add an additional lock. Other than that, the place is perfect for a quick coffee break. read more

Awful. This WAS my absolute favorite place to get coffee. Not sure why they can't train baristas! I ordered a flat white and no one behind the counter knew what is it or how to make it. BUT they just kept telling me it was coming up - it's an open kitchen so I could see no one was making it. Everyone else's espresso, cappuccinos etc were made promptly. FINALLY because 15 minutes later (and there was no line) w no coffee I was now running late. I asked for a decaf instead. They poured me a small one in a HUFF. Huh. I could've sworn that a flat white and a small decaf are NOT priced the same. Starbucks makes a pretty good flat white. The coffee's not as good as LC but at least I don't need to teach the barista how to make the coffee. Oh and I stupidly tips those idiots before they messed up my entire order. read more

Great La Colombe location! I came here during an afternoon on a weekday and had no trouble finding parking in the village lot. The shop itself is industrial and well decorated, with all the staple menu items like the draft lattes. The inside had a good amount of seating, but I would have liked to see more seats with tables as well as more comfortable chairs. However, I was able to get a table by the window which I enjoyed. It was a great place to get some work done, but like the other La Colombe locations, they do not have wifi that you can connect to. In terms of drinks, I just got a cup of their dark roast drip coffee. As per usual, their coffee was delicious and it came in a beautiful cup. I always enjoy La Colombe coffee! They also had plenty of pasties and other food items available. Overall, I would come back to this spot again to get work done or grab a cup of coffee! read more

I absolutely love the scenery and vibe of La Colombe Coffee. It not only serves the ONLY Oat milk Draft Latte, they also serve phenomenal Pour over single origin coffees. One of my favorites happens to currently be one of their Natural Ethiopian's. Every La Colombe coffee I have ever been in, always caters to the young working class, with wonderful appetizers and pastries, take home bags of freshly roasted coffee, and wonderful relaxing vibe to work at. While some may believe that it's a highly priced coffee shop, I disagree as you are not only paying for a high quality product, you're paying for the experience and a relaxing environment. read more

They take safety seriously and I felt really good about that. I ordered a new (to me) roast black coffee. They were out but just brewed some fresh stuff right there. Loved their customer service and their choice of music. My husband got their Black and Tan and I sipped it and will be back for that. Saw done cardamon items on the menu I can't wait to try!! read more

"I could use a coffee." Those were the words that actor Jean Reno muttered to fellow co-star Hank Azaria at the end of the 1998 Roland Emmerich film, Godzilla. It is one of my favorite films, but that quote came to mind as I was walking east on Lancaster Ave, and actively searching for a coffee shop that was not named 'Starbucks.' As I made my way down the street, I spotted, what appeared to be an old warehouse, that has been turned into a coffee shop and a few other small businesses. Pretty cool, huh? In any case, I entered, grabbed a Cup of Joe and marveled at the really cool architecture. Oh yeah, that coffee really hit the spot, but I will have to return to pick up a bag of beans and perhaps some chocolate bars too. read more

La Colombe serves the best coffee drinks in the region. We go frequently and they always put out a delicious beverage. Pros: many coffee drinks to choose from and all are delicious; phenomenal pastry selection (croissants, danish, all great but they go fast); great selection of whole bean coffee blends freshly roasted and ground to your specification; very friendly staff; lots of outside seating; oat milk!! Cons: they don't routinely empty trash so it's always overflowing and attracting bees and other pests and vermin; tables aren't wiped down frequently and are generally filthy after the initial morning rush; they are the only business in town who still has not reopened their restrooms; coffee is a natural diuretic so that makes for a challenging situation. read more
