Amazing product. La Colombe had some of the best lattes and coffee in this city . My iced latte was perfection . I particularly like the layout of this location as it is more spacious than other ones I have frequented with more seating . Friendly and efficient service . Can't go wrong with a coffee stop here . read more

I'll be short and sweet here. I loveeeee this location. Even though it's pretty small, somehow there's always a table open which is great! They have a small selection of GREAT pastries and great coffee! Plus, friendly service. What more could you need!? read more

La Colombe Coffee - Cappuccino and black and tan - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Friendly, quick and great offerings! I went at 730am on a Sunday. Perfect time to enjoy a lovely cafe...not many people and chill atmosphere. The baristas made good recommendations and made a delicious oat milk cappuccino. Since I had wanted a flat white but also the pretty cup (slightly larger), she recommended I get a cappuccino with low foam. I really appreciated her suggestion. I will definitely be back! read more

Picked up some beans and learned that you get a free coffee with purchase. Series was friendly and there was enough space to post up with a laptop. read more

Employees were ok. Ordered an ice tea. I was told the only type is brewed on order. (Can't be done in advance?) we waited and were served a tea that was indistinguishable from water in terms of color or taste. No reason to return and would recommend others think about it. read more

Great coffee at a great coffee shop! Love the staff - they're quite helpful in explaining the different types of coffee offered and are quite accommodating with preferences. read more

La Colombe Coffee - Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The staff is very friendly and the drinks are well priced. I come here to do a lot of work/studying. The ambiance is cool and industrial.

A quaint coffee shop by the train station. I came here to work and it had everything I needed- ample seating, good coffee, fast wifi, and music that isn't annoying. The bartenders were also very quick and seemed nice. Would work here again :-) read more

La Colombe Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Solid coffee right off the blue line. Only grievance is that they just don't have more flavor syrups. But honestly the latte I had was pretty solid. Plenty of seating. A little expensive but service was polite and professional and super quick! read more

Big name from NYC. Cool and friendly baristas but unfortunately we were a bit disappointed in the latte that we got. Smooth and warm and finished beautifully. It's just the medium-roast tasted like dark-roast which could be due to over-extracted from settings and other different reasons. We will be back next time to try it again. read more

La Colombe Coffee - Pour over - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great service, such a beautifully sweet chai latte, literally exactly what I needed. I recommend.

As a person that solely relied on La Comlumbe to get through college in Philly, I almost cried when I realized that there were locations in Chicago. The on draft latte is amazing! It's so refreshing and creamy and has such a wonderful flavor. The service is always great and of course the cafe is adorable. Whenever I go to Wicker Park, this is my first stop right off the blue line. read more

Love this location of La Colombe! There's a pretty decent amount of seating inside and I've never had an issue finding a seat during the week. Sometimes it can be kind of loud if the door isn't all the way shut since it's right under the train. Most important part of this review: get the oat draft latte, the vanilla oat draft latte, or the oat black & tan! read more

La Colombe Coffee - Cold brew and oat milk draft latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I had la colombe for the first time a couple days ago when they were having a special half off their half tans I believe. I just walked in and walked out so I didn't really sit, but I ordered a had tan with vanilla and oat milk..... I fear this might be the best coffee I have ever tasted omg. I got the large and couldn't finish it so I ended up putting it in the fridge for the next day. Very delicious I will be back to try more of their coffee drinks. Cold brew plus a latte is such a good combination and they absolutely nailed it read more

Walking around wicker park and decided to get an iced coffee. After reading the reviews I decided on the latte draft. It was really good. Very creamy. Great choice. The inside is nice. If you want a cold latte try it. read more

The cafe is on smaller size with not many outlets, but service was quick and a good place for a catch up with friends. I ordered the iced chai tea latte and it was good, but not as sweet as other places. Definitely had more of a kick of the chai spice in it than other cafes. read more

Are you ever excited to try a new coffee shop while traveling? Well I wouldn't visit this store, the vibe and your excitement will be immediately killed. La Colombe of West Loop is 10/10, wicker park 0/10. I was next up to order, I stepped up to the barista after making eye contact with her. I excitedly said "good morning how are you!" to which she did not respond and stared at me blankly. I expressed some questions around their draft drinks and what made up some drinks. I asked if I could have a certain drink with a slight substitution to make it stronger, to which she said very monotone and loud "I don't understaaaand, it comes this way", I realize I was being difficult asking if the proportions in the black and tan could be modified from 50/50, but I've never been mocked for asking. Whatever, I got it as it came and before I could order a muffin she told my total and flipped the screen around and walked away. When I was served my drink it came with dirty looks from the other employees. I get it, everywhere is busy and your job sucks, you don't need to take it out on guests who are trying to be kind to you. read more

Next to a stop (CTA) and right next to Stan's. No wifi, mediocre service, okay coffee. They do charge you for dine-in, since you'll be using one of those nice porcelain cups. Drip coffee of the day tasted like Starbucks, and was luke warm. Nice ambiance but not coming back for this! read more

Used to go out of my way and come to this location and it has recently been so disappointing. The baristas are often not friendly at all. The coffee my last few visits has been awful. So disappointing considering I love colombe and this location, but it's not worth it anymore. Go to the west loop location for better coffee and better service. read more

My boyfriend and I ended up here after trying two other coffee shops in Wicker Park and not being able to find seating. Ever the sucker for novelty menu items, I gravitated toward the cold brew with lemon like a moth to light. It's not a flavor combination I ever would have imagined working, but it's surprisingly pleasant. We discovered only after purchasing drinks that La Colombe does not offer WiFi on the weekends, presumably to keep people from loitering, which explains the seating availability. We had both planned to do work on our laptops, so be warned if you are in the same boat. read more

La Colombe Coffee - Cold brew with lemon - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

$5 for a nitro coffee, dang it's getting to be beer prices for a cup of coffee! La Colombe right by the CTA Damen Blue line is easily accessible and sorta tucked in. The seating is quite open, but with limited tables and stiff chairs I wouldn't spend too much time here. Make sure to ask for a real glass otherwise they provide a plastic cup. Oatly - a delicious milk alternative invented in Sweden, is served available here. read more

10/10 draft latte. Honestly, I don't even understand how this latte is the perfect mix of creamy but light. It is absolutely delicious and I would come here every day if I had the option. read more

La Colombe Coffee - Draft latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Love everything about this place including: layout - plenty of seating options and counter has purse hooks, staff didn't make me feel like a loser for requesting traditional vs alt milk options ( they were nice when I requested skim milk!), they have Splenda (bonus!), music is great and at a subtle volume, conveniently located near the train (right under it actually) but you can't even really hear it. read more

La Colombe Coffee - You'll have to trust me but cappuccino on the left and a cortado on the right (so cute, IRL). I'll title this "His and Hers". - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great coffee, friendly staff, comfortable seating, lots of natural light. The cortado was good! I've had their draft latte in the past which was also delicious. Love the little bag hooks at the bar seating. I also love that they have self serve water and sparkling water: "Everyone on earth should have access to clean water." Yes! Overall solid coffee chain. Will definitely be back. read more

This "La Colombe" location neighbors the CTA Damen Blue Line station. Typically a coffeeshop attaching to an "El" station has only a counter, a kiosk, or a window and everything is served to-go. This one isn't going to be case. In other words, I was surprised by how spacious the dining room was and how well the entire venue was decorated. I ordered a cortado, and the latte art was done impeccably. I always have a positive impression on La Colombe coffee. I tend to order express shots or anything that is considered "short coffee" from here. A few seating with outlets are available, but they were, for the most part, occupied when I went in at 4pm. I don't believe they provide free wifi, but a majority of patrons used their mobile hot spot from their cellular devices. Service was very friendly. Bristas looked chic and edgy, and some had very cool haircuts and colors. They offer gender-specific restrooms, which were well-lit and clean. Every item on Rosa J.'s ideal-coffeeshop-checklist was initialed, fulfilled, and crossed out. It doesn't bother me if there was no public wifi. read more

Great day to be in Chicago: Cubs in a 3-game series with the Brewers; BTS fans 3-deep line up around a full city block for tickets to Soldier Field performance; weather is of course a factor--rain and rainy. My niece is the local guide and we grab a cab from the Loop to Damen and Milwaukee, the heart of Wicker Park. Wise cabbie takes the expressway and we are there in ten minutes or so ($15). In and out of the rain we settle in to La Colombe at the end of our explorations. The cafe feels like a steady old neighbor situated as it is under the Blue Line rails, a location of convergences, angles, arrivals and departures. Coffee served in their signature Deruta mug and saucer is smooth and rich. My niece enjoys her tea, and we both have a small, sweet pastry. The atmosphere is unhurried, we linger over conversation for some time. The baristas are kind and courteous. Well-spaced seating and the warmth of brick walls and natural light give further respite from the chill and rain. It's good to feel wrapped in the sure rhythm of the Wicker Park neighborhood. We head back to the Loop on the Blue Line, taking the stairs just feet from the cafe entrance to the platform. read more

This is my favorite coffee on earth. From drip to espresso and even their canned cold brew, you can't go wrong ordering. Usually service is pleasant and great but I encountered a new and rather snippy barista recently. Oh well! Maybe he was having a bad day. I'll be back regardless since my experience has been mostly positive and the coffee is the best. Thanks guys! read more

Great place to visit on a Sunday morning. Contrary to what I had heard regarding wifi, this place does have their own. It's a really great vibe, one of my favorite places aesthetically. Minimalistic like Cafe Streets but more comfortable. Will say that their coffee is EXPENSIVE for what you get. But it may be strategic since it's the first thing you run into when getting off the Damen stop- 'welcome to wicker park, where the hipsters flock and the prices surcharged'. read more

This cafe is right next to Damen station right when you exit downstairs. I ordered the iced oat milk latte that was super rich and creamy. The interior was clean with small tables so people can study or hangout. I would recommend going if you are in the area! :) read more

This is a very basic no frills coffee spot near the blue line and popular Division/ Milwaukee/North Ave corner. I like this place because their coffee is always consistently spot on, the service fast and the seating clean. I wouldn't study here as it's a bit noisy and few plugs for your laptop. read more

La Colombe Coffee - Strawless lids!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've been here a few times now when I go down to the city - but I thought I would finally write a review for this lovely coffee shop. It's located underneath the Damen L Station. Walking into the cafe it is quiet and quaint. The environment is serene and a great place to do some schoolwork or read the daily newspaper over a cup of java or tea. The staff is nice and also will give great recommendations as well. The seating in the shop is spaced out nicely in my opinion of where you don't feel too "buddy-buddy" to the person sitting next to you which is nice. The atmosphere is calm and quiet which makes a trip to La Colombe a must if you are looking for a place to do work or chat with friends over a hot cup of coffee. read more

La Colombe Coffee - A lovely cup of vanilla latte with a beautiful latte art on the top. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I really enjoy the coffee at La Colombe, and I have to say my favorite is the draft latte. Perfect for the summer and just the right amount of creamy and sweet. I enjoy the space as well, it's bright and the staff is always quite friendly. Though it's a little on the expensive side (as most boutique coffee shops are), I would say I stop in once every few weeks. My one complaint is that they don't provide wifi. Coffee shops these days are synonymous with places to get work done. They have a router set up, so why not give the password out to paying customers? Definitely a head-scratcher, definitely keeps me from becoming a regular. With so many coffee shops in this area, you'd expect that they would want to level the playing field with this simple fix. read more

La Colombe Coffee - Draft latte w/ ice. Delicious! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

La Colombe produces impressive coffee! My first La Colombe experience was actually at their Andersonville location a little over a year ago, and I've been a fan ever since. The Wicker Park location (this one), is conveniently placed right next to the Damen Blue line stop. Although this location is smaller than the Andersonville location, this location still has a decent amount of seating for people wanting to relax in a quiet environment. The staff is always nice and works fast at preparing drinks for customers. La Colombe offers many different fantastic coffee drinks, but my favorite is the draft latte. Drinking a draft latte while on a nice walk in Wicker Park is something I find soothing. They also offer the draft latte's and other coffee beverages in to go can's in a fridge inside of the store. Recently, I bought some of the La Colombe beans so that I could brew their coffee at home. My coffee maker is very basic and could use an upgrade, but the coffee still tastes almost as good as getting it at the cafe. 5 stars for La Colombe and their fabulous coffee read more

The coffee is great and the staff create a great atmosphere. When I stopped in, I was immediately struck by how attentive and kind they are. I'm very impressed. I highly recommend La Colombe in Wicker if you're looking for a place to hang out or do work during the day! read more

On the hunt for coffee in Chicago we ended up here - really we hit up the donut shop next door and brought the sweet treats over here to enjoy with a little coffee. I went with the draft latte. Yes, coffee on tap! Pretty cool - and something I've never really seen anywhere else. The coffee was fantastic. The staff was also super friendly. We took a seat and covertly pulled out the round doughy treats to enjoy - the staff never told us anything - but we were scared they would haha. There were outlets to charge up your phone or plug in a laptop. We maxed out our phones before leaving. The decor here was pretty nice. A lot of different woods and industrial lighting. The bench I sat on was pretty comfortable and the lighting from the big windows was great for snapping photos of my coffee haha. read more

I've been a fan of La Colombe coffee since the first location opened in NYC. Born and raised in Philly (19134), I was happy that my hometown repped in the big apple with a superior cup of joe. I was psyched when I moved to Chicago and found out they had locations here. Just read that La Colombe CEO Todd Carmichael offered to pay for school lunches for families struggling to get by and is calling out a school superintendent using these marginalized kids as pawns in his endgame to "make america great again". https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.inquirer.com/news/school-lunch-debt-foster-care-pennsylvania-todd-carmichael-la-colombe-20190723.html%3foutputType=amp I have always recommended La Colombe for their excellent brews, warm modern interiors and friendly staff (I'm looking at you Wicker Park location). Now I have another reason to point folks in the direction of this establishment. #ToddCarmichaelPhillyProud read more

their draft latte with oat milk is to die for. I recently had a coffee meeting and the person I was with suggested we get coffee at this place. This happened last week and let me tell you. I've been there just about every other day.. I haven't made it daily only because they don't have a location in the South Loop or close enough to work... It's okay, I'll make the drive. :) read more
