- Simple. Small. And very good drip coffee. This facility served as part of a secret station for the Underground Railroad where Frederick Douglas arrived to escape slavery. Sip and revel in humility.
Take an espresso at the bar and a double—iced—to go. Or, if you have time, sit with a friend for a 'fika': share a slice of olive oil bread, bask in the serene, north light. Don't go back to work.
While it's no secret that La Colombe produces some of the best espresso drinks in the city, the real hidden gem is their baked goods. Grab a chocolate chip cookie to go with your next cappuccino.- Erika GrijalvaOctober 15, 2014Excellent cortado. My usual spot with coworkers. We love the individual saucer and spoons experience, no wooden sticks.
Really good quality colombian coffee! You can probably tell by the long lines that are frequent here. The taste is strong and it's a bit pricy but worth it. I usually get the latte.
Same great espresso, cappuccino, and cortados, way less crowded than other locations. Good vibe to work from (but no wifi).
Simon HSeptember 28, 2014Its a Tribeca classic. Sometimes you'll see jake gyllenhal (however you spell it) here. Its good but not as good as the lines suggest. For a good alternative, try the smile or gasoline alley.
If you're not feeling coffee (although that's probably what you're here for), try the ginger turmeric tisane - a healthful and flavorful herbal tea.
The iced coffee is half actual iced coffee and half freshly pulled double shot espresso. It is the genuine article.
Puu KampolratanaJanuary 17, 2015OMG, the chocolate cookie is crispy outside and soft inside. So good.
Lovely dark wood tables, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and a personalized (not packaged feel like some large chains) even when you take your cup to go. Coffee is great and $ is normal.
Tammy GordonMay 6, 2012Killer espresso drinks AND the building was part of the Underground Railroad - caffeine with a side of history!
Latte CAT score - 9/9: cup 3, art 3, taste 3. Cat is delighted with the coziness of the place and his heavenly latte. Meeeow! 🐈
Strong Americanos is where it's at. Beans served have some great flavor. Not a fan of their cappuccino - served more like a latte with big cups.
Nichole Shrom-KucFebruary 22, 2019La Columbe makes the best cup of pour-over there is. Get the China blend and put some oatmilk in it- you can thank me later.
Luc DoanDecember 8, 2015Good vibe. Small but several available tables. It's noon and I'm having my second cup of coffee today.
- Nate BeattyMay 17, 2015Outrageously good coffee. These guys know what they're doing. It's a chain in NYC, but the quality is consistently top notch.
MazdaDecember 3, 2010Enter any La Colombe cafe and one immediately notices what is missing - the merchandising and clutter of branded T-shirts, coffee mugs, home coffee machines and lunch foods.
Theodore MorganOctober 29, 2019I just went to this location for the first time. It is nice and I got their Draft Coffee ($3.00). I usually go to Think Coffee but I wanted a change.
Adrianna TanSeptember 25, 2016Draft latte is a novelty, but one that works coz it tastes damn good (if you like white coffees)!
Chris RyanFebruary 18, 2015One of the best lattes in the city. There are a few of these sprinkled throughout downtown. Find one near you and order a latte "for here" it's so much better in a real cup.- Chad HornerApril 14, 2017not a ton of seating compared to the roomier La Colombe locations in NoHo and Hudson Square
Thaís SoaresFebruary 10, 2018Amazing coffee and simple environment. One of the best brewed coffees I’ve had in NYC!- Excellent drip coffee and their draft latte alone should be worth the visit.
Derek PoonJanuary 22, 2020Great coffee and their own brand Draft Orange juice is foamy and taste good
Kevin YienOctober 17, 2014Decent pastries. Solid cappuccino. Extremely friendly baristas. Great place for meetings. Needs a restroom!
John McNallyNovember 19, 2014Light open coffee shop, with great coffee! And, no random salads or t-shirts, just some pastries...like a café. But unfortunately no WiFi :(
Have Angie craft you a capp or cortado, grab a chocolate croissant and forget about what's next on your schedule.
One of the best coffee shops in the neighborhood. Line moves fast too
Mila MilaSeptember 21, 2014The latte was strong but delicious. Paired perfectly with the almond buttery chewy croissant.
Tina WongJanuary 10, 2012Great espresso-based coffee. If you have it for here, the coffee are poured into beautiful baroque Italian cups.
I usually don't drink coffee, but when I do I drink cappuccinos at la Colombe
- TrevorJuly 4, 2014Espresso is long, acidic, and a little bitter -- not my style at all. Nice bright, modern, inviting space, though.
Their specialty drinks are better than standard coffee. Worth paying for.
They do the basic stuff really well, like the drip coffee. Iced coffee is good too, super strong!
- Some of the best coffee in the city. Amazing almond croissant.
Joe GranatoFebruary 19, 2014Great vibes. Nice exposed brick. I want these wooden tables in my house.
