"A good location close to my hotel, with decent coffee. Had seen pictures with Italian inspired ceramic mugs, which I longed to be served on, but unfortunately they are no longer being used. But the ceramic table tops added that Tuscan touch which I was looking for. Went a little after opening time, and the staff was busier catching up with their own weekend stories than with paying attention to customers’ requests. Like the self service water station which offered both sparkling and still water, with nice looking glasses. Pastries looked a little tired and the apple cinnamon scone was heavy on sugar."

"I went for an Oat Draft Latte—aromatic and rich, totally makes you want a second cup ☕✨ The café vibe is fantastic, with plenty of people working or studying, making it the perfect cozy spot 📚💻"

"What a great find. A gorgeous ' old fashioned' coffee shop with internal tables and chairs, just a short walk form the pretty Rittenhouse Square. It was busy during the yime of my visit, with a short queue, which moved relatively quickly. Service was friendly and effiecient. I had a regular latte which was good quality coffee and was served hot. Just as a like it. Cakes and pastries were available but in managed to resist. Prices were very good for the US. All in all much better quality and value than the branded coffee chains. I'd definitely recommend and return. Thank you."

"Unfortunately, my beloved La Colombe of 10 years has really changed. This used to be a neighborhood spot where one could meet for coffee, have a great conversation with an old friend, or read a book. Recently, the cafe has enabled Wi-Fi and now almost every table is filled with someone working on a laptop for multiple hours. One hopes that management will make an effort to restore the inviting ambiance of prior days. There is no space — a table is seldom available and the entire ambiance has changed. La Colombe used to be unique as the cozy neighborhood coffee shop and it is no longer so."

"I'm finally rating this spot, an all time fave. Always happening, very friendly and joyful really. The flavors are as fab as the aroma. The baristas & all staff are super nice, offer great suggestions when asked, and make my favorite macchiato. This morning was the only time I've been that's not packed, with a little wait time."
