Good coffee, minimal seating. We had to sit outside because there was no other indoor seating during the mid afternoon. I was surprised because it thought it would be a quiet time. There’s cute outdoor seating across the street, though. They have a lot of merch which is nice right now because it’s the holidays.
Good coffee and great environment overall. I will say the space is slightly congested, but I’m also big guy so I don’t think this is an issue for most folks. I got their standard drip coffee which was nice. I tried to use the restroom and for some reason it wasn’t locked from the inside and a man was using it. Safe to say, it was embarrassing. Regardless, I think it’s a neat little coffee shop with the wood theme and a cozy vibe on Capitol Hill. Would recommend!
My coffee journey began with brewing La Colombe at a Shakespeare Theater in Brooklyn. I was extremely happy to have found the actual coffee shop in DC!
You should expect a real rustic feel with the brick wall accents throughout the store. I adore an authentic espresso machine and this shop has it! I also love when you’re sitting in. You get a real coffee mug and some cute latte art❤️
My only suggestion is when I’ve come twice and ordered a latte with lite foam, on both occasions I felt like I was drinking a cappuccino 🥲I truly love more silky milk rather than foam.
But other than that… great experience👍🏾
I love coming to Le Colombe for my caffeine fix before heading to Georgetown's School of Continuing Studies. They offer lots of delicious coffee options and dairy alternatives. I recently tried the black & tan which was delicious and complemented their pumpkin cake very well. The service is friendly and the inside atmosphere is relaxing and offers a nice place to catch up with colleagues before heading to class.
Cute shop, good coffee. They don’t have many food options but the ham and cheese croissant was very delicious. Wish they could warm it up. But it’s otherwise very clean and staff was nice.
Great place to grab a coffee to go or to dine in. The coffees are made extremely well and they take the time to pay attention to detail. Great tasting coffee!
Weekend guilty pleasure. I bring my own salted butter to enhance the Americano. Absolutely delicious and smooth. Can't do dairy.
The coffee was good and the building is nice. Location next to the park is good. Average rating on atmosphere because there was trash on the ground around the cafe, many dirty tables, and dirty dishes sitting on the tables. Could have just been the time I was there.
Great coffee, hard to find a parking spot though. Since we were visiting DC area and we are always on a look out for good coffee, this is definitely one of our best coffee shops so far. Highly recommend, unfortunately they don't have indoor seating, so be ready for take out.
This was my first experience with Le Colombe. I like the product and it was a nice place to get some work done in between meetings. The espresso was very fresh and my americano was a delight. Not too busy at lunch time. I will be back again in the future.
This is a top notch coffee shop and cafe! Thanks to Brooks and the rest of the team for a very warm welcome. I'll definitely be there again soon. Thank you!
Loved the environment of this place! We ordered a macchiato and a hot chocolate which were both excellent! Staff was friendly and the service was great. Would definitely recommend this coffee shop
It is a great place for a coffee break. I really liked my Cappuccino. There was a very calm atmosphere and a lot of people were sitting there, working and drinking coffee. I also liked their tableware, it is adorable to drink coffee from a nice cup.
This gourmet coffee establishment never fails to impress. Service with authentic smiles. Great pastries. Very chic atmosphere.
Absolutely loved the draft coffee! This is a must try for coffee lovers.
La Colombe is a great place to get a quality cup of coffee in the Chinatown area. I went to this location several times on a recent trip to DC. Baristas were always friendly and helpful. The Oatmilk Draft Latte was delicious as was the light roast drip coffee. The only downside were the pastries. They are not made in-house but delivered each morning. I tried a couple but they didn't taste fresh. Stick to the coffee options here as La Colombe is a great place to get your coffee fix!
Thought the machine was run down for a specialty coffee (mostly dirty). The coffee was above average, wouldn’t say specialty. The barista was more concerned about closing than making a good coffee. Place could be mofe cozy, it has potential but not fully exploited.
If you're looking for coffee with a smile, this is the spot. The coffee shop is clean, spacious and inviting. I'm a huge fan of their latte on draft! Honestly, I love it in the summer but I drink it in the winter too!
They sell their coffee beans and serve pastries and other on the go drinks in the shop as well.
Decent place for a cup around Chinatown...got the darkest roast but was somewhat disappointed that it was lighter than expected. Overall great ambiance and good spot for a sit.
