I've always wanted to try a coffee from an actual brick and mortar La Colombe. I've only experienced the canned versions at home, so I was excited to be in an area with a few of them. This particular spot was in the busy corporate area and flooded with people on their way to work. The space itself was cozy, hip, and petite. Staff was friendly and they give you an actual spoon/saucer to add any sweeteners or milk to adjust. My drinks were good, but simple.

Always love stopping at a La Colombe. This location was packed (it was a Sunday morning). The line was moving quickly, the staff was friendly, and we waited less than 5 min for our drinks which I was impressed with since it was crowded. There is limited seating so we took ours to go. I got a cappuccino and it was delicious and the perfect temp! Got to enjoy it while walking around city hall!

We stopped here to grab a drink to enjoy while watching the parade. I got a matcha with vanilla and my husband got the s'mores latte on tap. Both were very good, the staff was very nice and personable. It the most we spent at one coffee shop on 2 drinks, with both being over 7 dollars. My normally grumpy and frugal husband, agreed it was worth the 15 dollars.

The corporate version of the hipster coffee joint I've been wandering around Philly for a little while, and went yo this coffee spot by the city hall to give it a try. It has a lot of the hallmarks of a coffee joint. Lots of wood and reclaimed steel for seating and tables. But most of their drinks are from a tap, and they prepackage most of their other goods. Their signage is more professional than one would expect for a coffee place, and it's very bright. It's not bad coffee. The latte I ordered was done with espresso from a machine, and it was only somewhat bitter. It wasn't great, but it was better than something like a Dunkin or Wawa. It's coffee if you need coffee. It's built to be rapid fire, and there's little soul left. There's a lot of coffee places to try, so this might be the weaker option to go to. But it's close to city hall it's decent, that may be enough for you

Blueberry Lemon Muffin 5/5

I've always wanted to try a pastry from La Colombe, and I've finally got the chance. I think I'm more disappointed that I didn't buy two instead of one. This muffin was not your average muffin; it had the consistency of pound cake, but it was light and airy. The lemon curd was sweet and zesty. It paired well with the blueberry, cutting the sweetness, it was perfectly balanced. The servers were very friendly, and the ambiance was pristine.

When walking around the City Hall area, La Colombe is a great place to stop in for a fresh pastry and coffee! I loved the quick service, getting a cereal milk latte on draft (that tasted like Honey Grahams!) and my kiddo was hooked on the iced tea after we walked around a local parade in the heat. The pastry options were awesome, as she had a croissant and I had a delicious strawberry vegan donut! Surprisingly it wasn't dry and tasted great!

La Colombe was recommended to me my first time staying in Center City. The coffee was great! I was a little worried upon arrival as the line was out the door, but their quick and pleasant service got us through in no time.

Great flavored coffee. The service is quick and exactly as ordered. The space has seating to accommodate the customers well.

This coffee shop is the epitome of the hustle and bustle of a big city. I got there around 10 am on a Thursday morning and the place was absolutely packed, the line almost out the door. It had a sort of energy that got you excited for a new day. I'll be honest... I'm from out of town so it could be an experience specifically of a tourist... but I have an inkling that the energy is contagious and felt by all that walking in their doors. There was a ton of seating, a giant counter where you order, then wait at the bar for your drink. Despite the line being long, they are wizards at getting customers through. I ordered a latte with almond milk. I wish they had soy milk, but it was still just what I needed that morning. My boyfriend also got a latte and we split one of the blueberry pop tarts we noticed when we ordered. The pop tart was awesome! Anyhoo, solid coffee spot. I'd go back.

Stopped by to get some iced coffee but the seasonal strawberry matcha was calling my name. It was flavorful and I did enjoy it, but it had way too many ice cubes, after a few sip, all that was left were the ice. The blueberry muffin was perfectly sized and flavorful

I don't think I've ever visited an an hour where I've seen it not. Often a line going from the counter, down the stairs, all the way to the bathroom. If you're looking for a quick coffee stop, don't expect to be in and out of here. That being said, they've got some kinds of seating not typical of coffee shops, including this nice long U-shaped couch seating. You'll be around with other folks reading or enjoying their joe, but it's a nice change of pace. Working-wise, wi-fi is solid. Outlets are sparse. Hard to stay a long time here. Music is at least at a tolerable level to tune out and is not usually too bumping. Staff here are quick, but won't be the friendliest. They won't be rude either. They're just trying to get through the line so don't take it personally Overall: would much prefer other places like Capital One Cafe for the reasons I visit cafes, but I can see this being a nice place for other more leisurely-natured visits!

Twisted Grounds is a quiet little gem tucked away from the main hustle and bustle of the city…read more The employees are really nice and welcoming. Service is quick. It is a very small shop, so there are only a few tables inside, along with a few outside depending on the weather. Although small, the interior is clean and cozy. A single restroom is available. Parking is on the street. Mild noise level. They have a good amount of drink options, including rotating specials, as well as pastries, bread, and misc items like granola and coffee beans. The drinks are delicious - definitely recommend their matcha. The pastries are huge, flavorful, and filling. Slightly dry but I did go right before closing. They have a nice variety of flavors (both sweet and savory), so most palettes will be satisfied. Prices are definitely fair. If I weren't just a traveler passing through, this would easily become a regular spot for me. It's at least on the "must return to" list! 10/10 recommend.

The service was also super kind and answered all my questions I had beforehand.

This swanky, hip place…read moreoffers up elevated tasty food and superb service in an exquisitely decorated, albeit small, cafe. We braved negative degree weather for the roughly 10 minute walk from our hotel. We walked in at a good time. This is the type of place where a reservation for breakfast would be required. We were sat immediately. The dining area is tight. A green velvet bench, marble tables, metal chairs, all packed into a small area. You could very well have your butt brush over the table of the patrons next to you if you have to get up for any reason. It's tight. Our server was around quickly. He was super friendly and kept things conversational, light and sophisticated. My wife ordered an iced latte, I had their hot drip coffee. For a starter, we had to try the cinnamon knot bread. While it wasn't what we were expecting, it was good. Although, we wouldn't order again. The bread is presented as a small loaf, room temperature with a cold cream cheese icing drizzled over top. The bread had a mild cinnamon flavor and was dry. It lacked the sweet, moist dough you expect from a cinnamon bread. My wife ordered the French style omelet. This had gruyere cheese and chives. Beautifully plated, perfectly cooked and the taste was spot on. It was good enough to forget that she paid $21 for just an omelet, no meat, no sides. I ordered the Eggs Benedict. Pretty standard here. The eggs had bright orange yolks which is common for farm fresh eggs. The "coffee" hollandaise didn't come across with a coffee flavor but it was rich and went well with the ham and English muffins. One thing that stuck with me was their drip coffee. Not sure if it has been a while since I had a light roast but the Rival Bros. Revolver coffee was so good, I got a bag of whole beans to bring back home with me. I may even order it again online. Enswell succeeded on all fronts. The ambiance and service was great. The decor, impeccable. The food, thoughtful and tasty. The details from the silverware to the plates added to the experience. We would come back.

I thought this place was very cute. Outdoor limited seating…read moreand indoor area as well. The appeal was to get a quick read in amd have my pup with me. I felt like I ordered the wrong combination. I was able to do an egg sandwich and swap for sourdough bread vs eng muffin. Love that. Didn't love the copper sharp cheese that was a bit messy and tangy. I kept thinking they must have added some type of sauce on it. I'd much rather come back for a simple fried egg combo and chedda cheese. I was also offered sparkling water, but I do wish it had more fizz. The service start to finish was superb in friendly and fast service. I'd come back for mimosa/bar for sure.

Each morning, I visited this café during my last visit and enjoying a cup of hot chocolate both times. One of the first things I noticed as I walked into the café was the atmosphere. It felt welcoming! My hot chocolate had the smooth richness and was great to start the morning off. There were plenty of tables to sit at in the morning. The style of the café was great with a modern and clean, yet warm enough to make those early morning hours seem somewhat purposeful, and not as rushed as they could be! If you're looking for breakfast options, it is slightly limited at this café. There were some muffins and baked goods available. My experience with El Café in The Hilton Mōttō was very good overall. I enjoyed the hot chocolate. It was rich, smooth and perfect comfort in the morning on the go. The customer service was also great! They were friendly, helpful and welcoming. Additionally, I thought the prices for their coffee and hot chocolate was reasonable. I'd stop by El Café again if I stay at the Hilton Motto.
