    Came to fix the AC, this location really cares about customer service, and wanted to make sure their customers were comfortable! Shout out to Nicholas Klaus, store manager for great service and recommending a great drink. If you have questions about your coffee, Nicholas has the answers.

    We always love coming here. The environment is always bright and lively, the staff is always friendly and vibrant, the items on offer are always delicious and don't break the bank. One can't go wrong with a visit to La Colombe!

    The coffee is delicious, snacks/bakery options were great, and there are a lot of vegan options available. The atmosphere is great including the service

    Flying colors on all accounts. I’m not a local, been to this La Colombe 4 times, my go to drink is a cappuccino and it did not disappoint. It was good. Their draft oat latte was so much fun. Delicious. And I picked up 3 publican bakery stuff there too. AMAZING! Keep up the good work!

    Unpleasant experience! I work literally on the block and would never be rude to a guest like the gentleman at the counter. You’re a coffee shop with one flavor latte ? Vanilla? Lol! I wanted hazelnut. Here’s the problem… don’t go talking smack about my request to your coworker. I heard the dialogue. He said” and he asked for extra hot! Whatever it’s hot enough!” If you’re that miserable, why are you working with people! Find an office somewhere! Shame on you! Clearly you know nothing about community!

    I’m kind of shy and wasn’t sure what I wanted. Not only did the staff help me pick the perfect thing, they were super accommodating and non-intimidating. Thanks guys! I felt super welcome!

    I always come here for the draft latte. I dont think it's ever taken me more than 60 seconds to get in and out with a coffee. Service is always great, and they also have an excellent selection of croissants. The oat milk draft latte is also very good.

    Warning: You better be young and hipster to eat and dine here. Poser Vibe Central! It was a slow Tuesday morning. I was greeted coldly, I ordered an iced late with oat milk, was told with attitude there is only one size for cold drinks. I then ordered a pastry, paid for my order, and sat down and watched the same woman that took my order, then smile and gush over some bearded hipster guy who was in line behind me. I lost my appetite immediately. I left without my order. I deserve the same service that trendy people do. For a company that posts a sign that will not tolerate hate of any type (which is cool), they seem like they have no problem with snobbery and poser values. They can keep their fake values and coffee.

    Excellent cafe, nice and spacious so it doesn’t feel crowded. Coffee ☕️ was good 😊 I enjoyed my experience and the staff was friendly with questions. Definitely would go again to explore more menu options and share a conversation.

    We come here to pick up a Gift Card for my sister. Who swears up and down this is the best coffee. There is a certain Gift Card that you can use online only. That's her B-Day gift ea. year.

    My absolutely favorite coffee shop in Andersonville! The perfect place to grab coffee and a pastry to-go during COVID. This is one of the few coffee shops I felt safe going to consistently during the pandemic due to their high level of organization and safety precautions. You can tell that they care about keeping their customers and staff as safe as possible, and I appreciate it!

    Excellent coffee and service! Went in with a large order for a work event and by the time I had paid and finished ordering, the drinks were half ready. Very impressive wait time for a larger order. Coffee was delicious too.

    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.

    One of the best coffee shops in the city. Espresso and all drinks are perfect. Pastry selection is good. Service is so friendly and knowledgeable. Vibe is great with plenty of seating.

  • 4/5 David B. 5 months ago on Google • 50 reviews
    Great coffee shop from an iconic brand in the Andersonville area. Good espresso, great tea selection and fun building. Only complaint is there is not enough seating for those who work or study in cafes. All in all, I recommend this location.

    Once again La Colombe impresses! I tried the ham and cheese croissant, which was exceptional. They were out of draft mint mocha latte, but the barista was quick to offer to make me one from scratch! Every café drink is better than the La Colombe canned coffee, which is already better than many coffee shops! The ambience is also very inviting. 10/10 would dine in again!

    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.

  • 4/5 Sam E. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing coffee. Great service. Clean and spacious washrooms, strangely. Judging by the lack of open seats, number of MacBooks, lack of orders being actively placed, it is a perfect coffee shop.

  • 5/5 Sheila D. 6 months ago on Google
    I love getting my beans from La Colombe. I have a lesser known coffee maker… Caitlyn and Jake were so amazing about trying to figure out the ideal grind for my device. I love passionate and knowledgeable people!

  • 4/5 Kidjie B. 5 months ago on Google • 35 reviews
    I had: - Almond Croissant - Pumpkin spice Latte Service was great. Food was delicious. The music was soothing. The space is pretty small, with very limited seating. Other than that, I would definitely return.

  • 5/5 Ben W. 1 year ago on Google
    5 stars for the cups and plates for inhouse coffee. 👍 and, one of the only coffee shops in the city where baristas have some personality. Always leave here with a smile on my face.

  • 4/5 Delaney Leigh M. 1 year ago on Google
    Good coffee and nice space, but very few outlets in the space so if you need to plug in it’s very limited

  • 5/5 Richard R. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was excellent and the coffee was amazing! I got an oatmeal cookie and a cappuccino. It was the biggest best oatmeal cookie I've ever had!

  • 4/5 J W. 1 year ago on Google
    Plenty of space, delicious hot drinks. Pastries run out fast, so get there early! Seating is almost always available. Excellent service, every time!

  • 4/5 Stacy A. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great spot to meet up with a friend! Lots of seating, large space, and quick service. Delicious baked goods from local spot.

  • 4/5 Brie O. 1 year ago on Google
    This shop has a ton of seating to bring your laptop and get some work done. Outlets at almost every table. I had regular drip coffee and it was OK. Nothing special, wish they had some rotating specialty coffees to choose from.

  • 4/5 Maria U. 1 year ago on Google
    We got here at 4:15 and we ordered two hot chocolates and one ham and cheese croissant. Kind of uncomfortable chairs, no microwave. We also had one choice for food: the cheese and ham croissant. However, the food and both hot chocolates were definitely delicious! Employees were very nice and patient. Would definitely recommend for a quick coffee booster!

  • 4/5 David H. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty good place with nice views outside, good vibes, and good drink options. They have plenty of oat milk, honey, and other things you need for your coffee or tea. Only 1 star gone because their chairs are sooo uncomfortable. It's all wood with no padding so it hurts after sitting for a while.

  • 3/5 Norah k. 2 years ago on Google
    Plenty of space , good for study but I don’t like the coffee at all .

  • 1/5 Josh 2 years ago on Google
    Nothing like being forced to go in a stall in the SAME restroom next to a girl when the coffee makes you have to drop a deuce. This all gender stuff is getting ridiculous. Make it a onesie that locks then or have 3 restrooms 1 for "All Genders". Don't force guys and girls to enter the same restroom that has multiple stalls while one or the other is currently relieving themselves.

  • 5/5 Christopher P. 2 years ago on Google
    Fast and efficient. Very good coffee. Pastries looked delicious. The next time that I have time, I will air down and enjoy one.
