This is a physical location that I'm used to as far as the coffee goes. You get different places. They made really good fresh coffee and the staff was super nice. Also a very interesting, well-lit, and nice woodsy location.
We stopped by La Colombe after hearing so much about their draft lattes, and they were definitely worth trying. We sampled the Peach Oat Draft Latte, but ended up ordering the Vanilla Draft Latte, and it was incredibly smooth. It really is different from a traditional iced latte. The shop has a nice atmosphere, and it's easy to see why La Colombe has such a loyal following. While I wouldn't say it's the best coffee shop we've ever been to, the draft latte alone makes it worth a visit. If you're in Philadelphia and enjoy coffee, it's a fun place to stop and try something a little different. I'd happily come back for another draft latte.
Great coffee shop! One of the first places I had to visit in the area and was not disappointed. Service was great! It gets busy inside with the rush but service was quick and efficient. I ordered a chai latte which was delicious and strong. Highly recommend.
Cold brew late was amazing. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Clean bathroom for customers and plenty of seating inside and a few seats outside. Perfect stop if you're waiting for a bus or need to refuel before/after the Liberty Bell. Very spacious building and clean.
Coffee Shop No. 460 La Colombe - Market East Philadelphia, PA January 17, 2025 This coffee shop was next to our parking garage so we had to stop before heading home. The space was clean and organized. There was pl. The barista was friendly and the cortado was delicious. No complaints here. Enjoying life one cortado at a time!
Only went here for a meetup & did not get anything to eat or drink (brought my own). It's a cute place to meet & chit chat @. We sat at the hightop community table to color and it was a good size. Any larger parties, not sure if they could accommodate b/c the tables are bolted down & you can't put them together. The drinks looked good & smelled great but their food menu looked limited. There were customers who constantly walked away with a delicious drink but not many walked away with something to eat. There was seating outside that was decent. WIll be good for warmer weather. Love that it's located right on Market Street!
I really like the coffee here! Lots of yummy pastries to choose from too! Seating is pretty ample and a really cute spot for a date or to read a book!
I love pastry so my husband bought almond croissant and early grey scone for me from La Colombe. I'm really impressed by the flavor of both item, especially the almond croissant--definitely one of the best I've ever had. While the earl grey scone tastes good, the earl grey flavor is quite subtle--it's definitely there but not as strong as I expected.
Service was fast and staff was friendly. There's a lot of room to sit inside or outside. The vibe is open and the place was clean. We had a group of 12 so there were a lot of us. We got the draft latte -- really good, hot chocolate-- great, drip coffee- excellent! Outdoor seating is a great view right near the liberty bell!
My new favorite spot in Center City for coffee. The staff is friendly. They helped me pick out an espresso and were able to tell me the notes of each. The strawberry specials they have right now (Spring 2024) are amazing. We came back 2 days in a row. The cortados are out of control good. My husband got a strawberry oat draft latte. I also got a jasmine citrus iced tea. Casual, but the decor is nice. 1000/10, will be back as soon as I'm in town.

Great spot to beat the heat. Huge atrium and same great coffee! Staff was friendly and helpful, definitely recommend read more
Found this coffee shop on the way to the Liberty Bell. The shop offers normal coffee shop items. We ordered a mocha, dirty chai, yogurt parfait snd a scone. Everything was great. I would definitely come here again and would recommend anyone looking for a great cup of coffee to try LaColombe. read more

This is one glamorous location of the famed, Philadelphia-originating La Colombe Coffee. It is located in the Independence Mall near the Liberty Bell and possesses ultra tall windows, an expansive floor plan, a twinkling chandelier overhead, and several rigid wooden tables. I do not recall seeing any outlets at these seats, so it seems the shop does not really cater to the studious and laborious worker with laptop in tow. I had a simple drip coffee and was offered a spoon and plate for adding and mixing milk from their self-serve station. How fancy. The coffee was decent, maybe thin and a little weak, however. It was a pleasant shop as the windows allowed for plenty of natural lighting to filter in. How lovely to have a dependable go-to local chain in place of an over-commercialized Starbucks. read more
I don't have a picture because I inhaled it, but the vanilla bean donut here is such a treat. The taste is so much more muted and nuanced than "regular" vanilla-flavored products. And you can see specks of vanilla bean, which is fun! I also enjoyed all the other pastries (photos attached!) I recently tried. I thought the raisin "swirl" (not sure what the name was) was especially good -- and that's coming from someone who doesn't like raisins! As for the coffee: I don't know how it is because I don't drink coffee - ha! read more
So much better than *bucks. Hot chocolate and Mocha - both creamy, rich and delicious. Try their Zaatar and Cheese croissants - one of the best I have had - super flaky and soft. La colombe has always been my preference over the other more popular coffee chains. read more

Our first stop after dropping off our bags at the hotel when we desperately needed caffeine following a red eye in from SoCal. I really wanted to try the draft latte, and just our luck, the day we came the barista informed us that it was actually BOGO day for draft coffees! So my partner and I got draft lattes and shared a ham and cheese our friend opted for espresso and a scone. The draft latte was smooth and airy, and I had multiple of these during my trip - though none were as good as this location (to be fair the others were the airport La Colombe and the hotel coffee shop that had the La Colombe draft latte on tap- they both served it with ice whereas this location served it straight up- which I'm guessing is the way it is intended to be served). I do wish there was slightly less foam, but hey it was still great and like no other coffee I've ever ordered! The ham and cheese croissant was good, another day we came in we ordered an almond croissant which was a bit too crispy and the almond filling too grainy- I would recommend the ham and cheese over the almond. There's a lot of seating, both inside and out, and they also have bathrooms which is a plus! read more

I absolutely love their coffee and the contributions the company makes to community and charity. However, this particular location lacks the coffee shop atmosphere as it's sort of like a kiosk in the middle of an office building lobby. They do have a nice courtyard out front and you can see the Liberty Bell area but they lack the free sparkling or still water station and coffee shop atmosphere that you get at the other locations. Their prices are also super reasonable compared to most other coffee shops. You can get a cortado for $3 and a cappuccino for $3.25 topped with some impressive latte art. However, there is a 75 cent up charge for oat milk. I know all the coffee shops charge more for non-dairy milks but I don't agree with it. Anyway, you can't go wrong with any drinks here. This time we tried a blueberry tart which was fantastic and I look forward to trying some of their other pastries when I return to a La Colombe likely at a different location. read more
I'm kind of blown away by how much La Colombe has grown since moving away from Philly 8 years ago. However, the quality is exactly as I remembered it. This location, in the lower level of a busy office building, is an incredible mix of a sleek modern inside, and a beautiful outdoor space overlooking Independence National Park. The display case was filled with delicious looking pastry, I opted for the Almond Croissant along with a large Cappuccino. Both came up right away. I took a seat outside in a big Adirondack style chair, overlooking Independence Hall. The croissant was crisp, light and flaky topped with powdered sugar and sliced almonds with an almond paste center. The cappuccino was hot and creamy, perfectly made. Great coffee, friendly efficient staff, and a decent price. That paired with the view and they have a winner. read more
