Coffee was meh. Almond croissant was good. Vibes were ok, very industrial coffee shop, no real personality to the place, just imagine any hipster coffee shop and there it is. Totally fine!

Regardless of the location, you know what you're getting at La Colombe. A good cup of coffee or special coffee drink at a reasonable price.I tried out the strawberry mocha because I really enjoyed this strawberry half tan I had earlier in the month. Something about the strawberries they use really works well with the coffee and the chocolate in the mocha was a good balance, not being too sweet nor too bitter.I thought the service here would be slow because it was crowded but my drink came out relatively quickly. Because this space is relatively open, when it's crowded, it can be quite noisy so it might not be the best place to try and get some work done unless you have headphones. Otherwise, the usual offerings were provided here and I wasn't disappointed.

Had the golden milk latte with a splash of vanilla—SO GOOD. Service here is always a 10/10. My go-to location :)
The best of the best - get their draft latte or vanilla oat latte. Highly recommend when walking around the city.

A big fan of their consistently good coffee whether as drip coffee or pour over. Never been disappointed by the quality of the coffee and service is always great. Note: should be obvious but pour over takes about 6 - 7 minutes, especially where there are other orders. That's very good IMO and well worth the short wait and the extra price.

Coffee is strong and good. Pastries are okay. The atmosphere is good and it is a very enjoyable experience.

I go to the Andersonville location of La Colombe at least twice a week. The staff is friendly and efficient. I am a tea drinker, so I appreciate that they have a range of quality loose leaf teas. I don't often buy pastries; when they switched to the Publican for baked goods, I found it wasn't my style. (I think once I had a buckwheat cookie. I honestly just want a regular old choco chip cookie with plain white flour. It's basic, but maybe so am I. ^-^ Loads of people like their baked goods though, so it's a try-for-yourself kind of thing.) I also love that they have the option of getting fizzy water (water with gas/soda water depending on where you're from) as well as still in a fountain. The cafe is sunny, has great hours (one of the few open super early options in Aville and Uptown) and plenty of seating.
Not my favorite La Colombe but definitely nice, friendly staff, and very open space.

This location has to be one of their busiest locations in the city. I’ve gone here a few times and always struggle to get a seat. The staff is very friendly. But if you’re looking for somewhere to go and work, you will be lucky to find a seat. Parking is generally pretty easy street parking.

This place grew on me. They have bitter coffee and only oat and almond milk but it's nice.

Good coffee, nice industrial type ambience. I ordered to go so didn't have much time in there. It is pretty spacious. Service was friendly and quick considering they were steadily busy. If you're a black coffee drinker, this is your heaven most likely. I ordered a small oat milk latte with vanilla, so it was over $7 with the nondairy milk and the flavor shot. Okay since I don't need jet fuel every day to function, but felt a little pricey for the size. Can confirm though, it's tasty!
