On the Grid : La Colombe

"Stop in for a to-go coffee, or sit and stay for a while to savor your beverage and enjoy your morning read. The big space on a bustling NoHo corner boasts lots of natural light and indoor and outdoor sitting. La Colombe also sells their own brand of coffee that includes all kinds of flavorful roasts, in addition to their own line of chocolate. Their pastries and small bites are also inventive and worth a try." - Carbone Smolan Agency

La Colombe Torrefaction - Review - New York - The Infatuation

"I've been a fan of theirs forever. I really fell in love with them when I was filming Queer Eye in Philly. They have their beautiful headquarters there in Fishtown. Their cold brew is so nice—it's not too bitter, not too acidic. It's smooth. Monday through Friday, I limit dairy and dairy alternatives, so I have to drink it black. While I love a lot of these Australian coffee shops, some of them tend to go high acidity, high bitterness, and really intense concentrated coffee. I want to be able to sip on it. I want it to be nice and smooth. If I don't chug it too quickly and it warms up, you still want it to be smooth enough, you know? And I feel like La Colombe just hits it out of the park. I've narrowed my cold brew intake down, too. I'm down to between two and three. I used to have five or six a day. Coffee's good for you, but the old heart can't take that much caffeine, you know?" We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

I’ve bought this strawberry latte twice before and it was fine, but today’s order was a joke. I hadn’t even taken a sip yet — after the foam settled, it was barely half full. Really disappointing. Not sure if I’ll come back.

Very crowded and vibey on a Sunday afternoon. Great spot to catchup or work if you can find a table. Line moves quickly. Fun draft cold brews but even the black iced coffee is good.

This place is a regular coffee shop. Coffee is not bad (but not even nice). I was disappointed when they gave me not a full cup of coffee (provided on picture). Here’s kinda cozy (for small cheap dates is nice), but not really. So, this place is great if you’re looking for a caffeine dose :)

I wanted to drink in a mug, but I didn't have time to talk when I ordered. Latte milk steam was fantastic. It was soft and very good There were a lot of people

No WiFi and quite noisy usually, so would not recommend if you want somewhere to work Drinks ok, nothing special, slightly higher than average price but nothing too crazy

Truly one of the best cups of coffee I’ve had in a long time. Also got a Tahitian Chocolate Chip cookie on a whim and might be the chewiest and most flavorful cookie I’ve had as well. Tons of tables around, if you arrive at a non rush time I’m sure you can find a spot to set up in.

Totally loved this place. Spacious (ergo lots of seating) and they serve great coffee. Probably not very relevant but cups are also quite pretty. There’s good lighting coming from the outside and it’s a great place for having a chat w friends or reading your book. Good service.

Great spot for coffee in NoHo. I love La Colombe coffee and this location is big and light filled with plenty of seating. (It's a lot roomier than the original location a couple of blocks further south on Lafayette). Prices are reasonable, service is efficient and they have a decent selection of pastries available. And of course the coffee is delicious!

This location is always soo busy. Many NYU students come here. It's in a great area next to parts of NYU campuses, soulcycle and other work out places. I usually get draft lattes when I go to a La Colombe. Today I wanted a hot drink so I got a decaf cappuccino. I should just stick with the draft Iced lattes. My drink was very bitter and I could not drink much of it. Also, it was not a full cup and there was no nice milk art like alot of places do.

I stopped by in this place for some draft latte after lunch at Carbone to wake my body up from the wine consumption. I always get a draft of the seasonal latte. Service was friendly and welcome. The place was definitely bigger with spacious workspaces and complimentary water. This visit I had the cereal latte, which was strong but hit the spot.

I've been coming here for at least 10 years, IMO it's one the best if not my favorite third wave coffee spot in the city. Located in the heart of NOHO a short jaunt from the Astor and Bleecker stops on the 6 train. Old past time fave is to grab a cup of coffee and head to Washington Square Park a short walk away. It can get real busy in there but could always find a seat inside or outside. They have water fill up by the back with or without bubbles, which we like on hot summer days. The bathroom is fairly clean and there's rarely a line. The staff is OK but can act snooty at times as with most of these fufu coffee joints, entitled or overqualified much maybe? Anyhoo they deserve 5 stars cause of the quality coffee, atmosphere and location. Will continue to come here for years to come.

La Colombe stays winning because of winning coffee. whether drip, draft latte, cold brews--the caffeine is consistent + more importantly enjoyable to drink. busy location, pretty well-maintained. never sat here bc New York is always moving so should you if you're a shark.

Terrible employee behavior. My friend and I came here yesterday January 29th around 10:30/11 am after a workout class as NYC was having its first over 45 degree day in a while and we wanted to walk and enjoy it. We had never been to a La Colombe in person, and decided we would go thinking they would have the strawberry on draft. When we asked, we were told they didn't have it yet, and asked for a second to look over the menu. The service here was pretty horrible. Not sure if it's because the location or we just caught them on a bad day. After a nice enough person took our order and started to make our coffees we moved towards the cashier. Firstly, she looked my friend up and down for quite some time and with a pretty disgusting look. I assumed it was because she had shorts on (because of our workout class) but either way it was very uncomfortable. She then proceeded to ask what I ordered and when I paid and forgot to select my tip, she waved her hands over the screen instead of asking me to finish with the screen. I was confused, and she walked away so I didn't know what that hand motion was. She came back 15 seconds later and made the same motion over the screen to which I finally understood and apologized for my forgetfulness and misunderstanding and she just scoffed at me. My friend then said her order and when the cashier asked what milk she got, my friend responded. I guess the cashier didn't hear but she rudely said again in an annoyed tone "I said what milk" I answered for my friend trying to hurry the situation along and she scoffed again. After we both had paid she scooted us along with hand movements and then said in a very sarcastic and degrading tone to have a good day. And she obviously meant to be rude. We both loved our coffee, but were made to feel so uncomfortable that we wanted to leave immediately. I had intended to use the restroom there, and was so uncomfortable staying there that I just left and went to the grocery store down the block. I can't believe in a world where people are so "accepting," employees in the hospitality and customer service industry act this way unprovoked. If I could give 5 stars for the coffee and 0 for service I would. Won't be coming back to this location again.

Lesson L.

Yelp
You need to work on your integrity and customer service. The shop was busy this morning (11/5/24), so I was waiting for my order (somewhat of a specialty) no longer than five-to-seven minutes. I had no issue waiting -- again, the shop was busy. However, I will not be lied to and yelled at by anyone at your shop -- specifically, telling me that I was so negligent in picking-up my drink that the employee had to throw it away because it sat for so long. What most likely happened was...the drink was never made -- no big deal. But, y'all decided to lie and deride me in front of everyone in line. This is pathetic and small of your employee. You need to work on your integrity and customer service.

I LOVE the ambiance here - there's mild chatter and coffee cups clinking, but it's not too loud, making it a perfect place to study/do work for a couple hours. The latte I had was perfection, and I also liked the almond blueberry muffin. There's a circular island in the middle where you order and tables around the perimeter. It's oftentimes crowded, but also people are always coming and going so it's not too hard to get a seat.

I dream of their nitro latte. I'll never forget the first time I tasted that foamy, creamy concoction - I was hooked! Many of us have gotten La Colombe drinks from the store but if you ever get the chance to visit a store front, you MUST try their draft latte. It's a thick creamy latte with the perfect amount of coffee flavor and thick foam. Trust me, one sip and youlll be addicted!

I love La Colombe so much! I typically get an iced oatmilk latte and an almond croissant or muffin! The simple syrup is always so yummy. Sometimes the baristas can be a bit mean. I get it but also like ???? just lemme get my latte without feeling attacked

Finally got to try the oat latte on tap and it did not disappoint! Workers are all very nice and it is easy to order I got the oat latte on tap and added vanilla syrup. It was delicious! It was smooth, hit of sweetness from the syrup and not too milky. You can tell it was on tap and it had it like a velvety texture I had another with no vanilla and it was just as good but less sweet, but still well balanced. Personally I prefer the vanilla Would def come again

I've frequently bought La Colombe products at the grocery store, but I've never been to any of their standalone cafes. They of course offer many of their commercially sold products, but in addition offer hot espressos, lattes, drip coffee, cold brew, and some bakery items. I got the medium roast drip coffee with almond milk, and a blueberry muffin. The coffee was warm, but not hot (even before milk was added). It does have a rich taste without any bitterness. I appreciated that the baristas provide you with the coffee on a serving dish with a spoon, and allow you to choose how much milk to put in. The top of the muffin was great- crunchy and chock full of almonds. The inside was pretty moist. The bites I had of blueberry were great, but I wish there were more. They almost all sunk to the bottom. The taste of the muffin itself was pretty bland other than the blueberry- I wish they had added some flavor. Lemon would have been a nice addition!

Got one of the oat milk lattes, can't remember which one it was. Came out to $7 ish with a tip. I did not think this coffee was worth $7. It was bitter to the point that it tasted low quality....but it ended up balancing out a cookie that I got from levain so it worked out I guess. Saw so many good reviews but don't think this place was worth it. Service was fast and baristas were nice though!

Lovely cafe on the corner with some seating and a bathroom for anyone looking for a break. They have their oatmilk salted caramel latte on tap and it's one of the best coffees I've ever had! Definitely recommend. Quick and easy to order with lots of people coming in and out.

Will definitely come back for the draft latte. I got mine with oat milk and i was so surprised! The after taste is so velvety and sweet. I loved it! It was also lukewarm- not really iced coffee. It was perfect on a cold walk outside.

Coffee is great and there are a few other locations but this particular location is a huge NO MORE for me. JUNE 19, 2024, I purchased a cereal milk late and walked around the block before having to use the ladies bathroom, returning to the store in under 5 minutes to use the bathroom and was told I needed to purchase a beverage in order to use the bathroom. When I informed the staff that I had just purchased a few moments ago I was questioned further and the staffer highlighted that he saw me come in without purchasing. I informed him to validate my purchase with the cashier and proceeded to the restroom. While in the restroom I overheard the staff interrogating my party (one of which was my young child), investigating if I had in fact purchased a coffee. When I completed using the bathroom I informed the staff that I would not only never visit again, I would inform my husband who introduced me to this location, and would never recommend them to anyone else. Customer service matters and so do paying customers, something so small should not have escalated to something of this magnitude. The user experience matters and will take my money to any other location.

La Colombe is a NYC staple full of single origin bliss. Famous for their draft lattes, but make stellar drinks in general, and can't go wrong with a drip from here. Beautiful croissant offerings. Most of all, this location is open and inviting, with floor to ceiling windows looking out on Lafayette and the sleepy bustle of NOHO. Great place to bring a friend and chat, or catch up on work for a bit.

We've only ever tried the La Colombe draft lattes via the little cans at Trader Joe's, so I was very excited to try it out "live" in one of their New York stores. The staff here were friendly and recommended that I try the draft latte from the tap - which was epic! Unlike other coffee stores (...Blue Bottle!) where the packaged drinks taste better than the freshly poured ones, the draft latte was even tastier fresh and had the same frothy/smooth consistency. It's a shame these don't exist here on the West Coast!

This has the worst most angry barista I have ever encountered! Why would they let her continue to work there? The other employees obv realize there is anger management issues. Coffee is something you should savor and enjoy. Here they throw it at you. I would gladly walk 10 blocks to the other location.

One of two La Colombe locations I've been to regularly (the other is 270 Lafayette St). This location is much busier, so I prefer to go to the other one. My problem with both of them is that they don't seem to know how to pour a draft latte?? Lately they keep giving me all-foam pours, which, when settled, comes out to half of the cup. Not worth $4.25. When I asked for less foam, they said it's just how it comes out of the tap. If it works like draft beer, just hold the cup at an angle??? What is being done differently with the tap or by the barista when they give a good pour? Surely it's not random? If you look at pics on the company website, a draft latte is supposed to be at most half foam and half liquid. No one would accept an all-foam beer, would they? It's sad because I really love their draft lattes (even the unsweetened canned ones taste too sweet), which no one else has, but I can't really justify $4.25 for half a cup.

Very rude male barista with dirty (literally) long brown hair. Apologies that my 72 year old mother from Madison, Wisconsin doesn't know what's in your "artisanal" croissants. The eye rolls weren't needed as well, especially from someone who looks like they haven't washed their hair since Miley Cyrus was on TV. Drop the attitude, you work there, you don't own it.

I truly don't know where to begin. Let me start by telling you this is the best tasting coffee/espresso ever. Like EVER! I pride myself in being a coffee snob. With that, I try coffee/espresso type drinks everywhere I go. In my opinion, La Colombe has the best, non bitter tasting drinks. My go to drink is almost always an iced latte. La Colombe offers multiple alternative milk options so I always order half reg milk and half oat milk. Try it, I promise you, you will love it! They have awesome tasting simple syrup too. I think it's made from raw sugar??? Whatever it's made with, it is SO good! They have great pastry options as well as some Chobani yogurt (one of the owners happens to be an owner of Chobani). All the baked goods are the same at each location. How cool is that? Consistency is key!! Each La Colombe we visit tastes the same!! Like the drinks always taste the same! Novel idea, I know! This location pumps the drinks out. Don't let the daunting line scare you. Even if it wraps around the bar, they clear it fast. They have an amazing team working there. Always friendly. They have a pretty cool seating area too! My only complaint would be the fact that they have no WiFi. Oh my! I almost forgot!!! They have fresh flowers on the counter everyday!!!!

Cool decor. Decent mocha latte. Very popular. Pretty good almond croissant. This is my husband's favorite coffee in the neighborhood. He's more of a straight black coffee guy. If that's your thing, this might be your spot.

COVID has definitely taken the joy out of being able to relax and sit in a cafe with safety protocols (not complaining about it) and people just preferring to be outside in general. That said, La Colombe at this location offers the most consistent quality of coffee in a really spacious spot and convenient location. While La Colombe have two location with 5 blocks of each other on Lafayette, I am glad I have been able to check out something old yet new at the same time. The vibe is really good here as well and only gets more crowded as students and residents start coming back full force as temperatures get warmer.

France C.

Yelp
In a nutshell: Ever had a coffee so bad you throw it away? and experience a nasty & rude service in top of that?! Anything named French grabs my attention and I dared check out Lafayette's location to see if the brand live up to the name brand allure. It seems at the moment I said I was taking the coffee to go (let's not talk out indoor dining city mandates...) and there was an evident disappointment on the clerk, although I explained to her what I wanted she order something else... the barista just tossed cold straight out of the fridge almond milk on the dispenser-coffee like she couldn't care less, is people really accustomed to this here or everywhere else? #APPALLING GOOD Hmmm... the typically good looking patrons sitting outside? BAD The communication between server and client, how could I convey I want an almond milk cappuccino with strong coffee, have a barista pouring the cheap looking coffee dispensers and just toss cold almond milk and when I questioned her and to please heat it up she said they charge extra for that. I had the money and she knew I had the money that was her way to give me the middle finger she couldn't be bothered. WORST Have ever had some retail chain or street coffee that it seemed it got burned and so lukewarm that you can't help to toss it in the next trash can??? That in top of the horrible service makes me appreciate smaller coffee shop brands that pays more attention to the service and the quality of the coffee which they can easily tell you origin while in chains like La Colombe.

Walked into the store for a nice cup of iced coffee. Out of all the la colombe coffee shops, this has to be one of the biggest location. It's spacious, there is seating, but it was always full with people. The inside is very modern and seems very hip/trendy. Very cool ambience. In terms of the coffee itself, la columbe is popular for a reason. I personally got to try the black & tan. Very smooth and you honestly don't need too much sugar added. It taste good on it's own. I really enjoyed it.

It's almost impossible to get seats here because of those damn NYU students (just kidding, I'm one of them). But seriously, this location is always filled to the brim and you may have to wait around for a while if you're grabbing a table. What bugged me is that absolutely everyone here grabs a two-person table for just one, which wastes a lot of space and efficiency. The MBA in me was screaming on the inside. This small-scale roaster has two types of coffee: cornerstone, which is the darker one, and workshop, which is the lighter one. I got the cornerstone because it was late in the afternoon, it has a chocolate feel, and I wanted less caffeine. They have almond and oat milk for those who want it. It's your standard coffee, I believe a level above Starbucks. I also tried the peppermint tea and the honeysuckle tea. The first is super strong in taste and smell. The second is on the polar opposite: very subtle. Neither was mind-blowing, two very standard teas. La Colombe is above average price for both coffee and tea, as in $3.50 for a tea satchel, $4.50 for loose leaf tea, $2.50 for cornerstone drip coffee, and $3 for for workshop drip coffee. Also, there's one bathroom and I didn't see any outlets. Last, the baristas have unnecessary attitude. Wouldn't hurt to not look down your nose at all your customers, y'all!

Was walking on the way to dinner but BF was craving some coffee, and La Colombe had the best reviews and was nearby, so we decided to give it a try. Boy, are we glad we did! Must get the Oak Milk Draft Latte. MOUTHGASM. I love nitro coffee, but the inclusion of oat milk put this over the top!! My dad was in awe, stating it was the best coffee he's ever had! BF ordered the Black and Tan, which is the draft latte with cold brew. He loved it! It was so good we were thrilled to see another one nearby our hotel, so we went again just 2 days after! I'm so sad this is only in NY!!

The draft latte was possibly one of the best lattes I've ever had. I would recommend for anyone to try it. If you are planning on dining in, the tables are small. There are limited outlets, so come with your devices charged.

Mediocre, overpriced coffee and terrible service. I went in and the place was not particularly busy and the employees were standing around chit chatting (nothing work related as they were speaking loudly and I could hear their conversation). They glanced in my direction and even made eye contact but didn't even bother acknowledging me and went back to their conversation. After a while (at which point I should have just left), one of them saunters in my direction, all annoyed for having seemingly interrupted his social time with coworkers, and rudely takes my order. At the end of the transaction I paid $10 for a cup of so so room temp coffee and a stale pastry. There are a thousand places with better coffee, cheaper prices and friendlier service. Drop the 'tude guys. You ain't special.

The ice coffee I've ordered had too much ice and the coffee wasn't strong enough to mix with melted ice. The place didn't have Stevia, for coffee priced this much should have stevia which is the proper no sugar sweetener over bad stuff like Equal. The atmosphere is fine, coffee flavor is a bit on the medium side which it were stronger.

Don't let the long lines on weekends fool you, it moves pretty fast! I brought my mom by for a latte and decided to stay for a while since there were (surprisingly) plenty of seats that opened up as I was waiting in line. Lattes are poured beautifully, and it doesn't hurt that the drinks to stay are served in equally exquisite cup and saucer sets! We stayed for a while, but eventually left because the clamor in the cafe was quite distracting. That being said, while this could be a great place to get lost in conversation, it is probably not the best place to study. However, for those who go to NYU stern, the stern wifi does (somehow) connect as far as this cafe, which I guess is pretty cool!

A great coffee experience. While walking around New York City, and in a search for a coffee stop, we visited La Colombe. It is a great experience since the moment you walk in. At first you will experience an atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable, good enough for a coffee chat, or to get some work done. But the hero of the experience is the coffee; great flavor at a price similar to those of other "premium" coffee shops. Additionally, the baristas know their stuff, are friendly making each visit perfect. Overall, if you are looking to change your coffee game, La Colombe is a great option. My Criteria 5 stars: The best food I have ever had, or an excellent option given the price. 4 stars: Good food, a restaurant I look forward to trying again. 3 stars: Good food, a restaurant that I am indifferent to. 2 stars: Below average experience, will not go again. 1 stars: This restaurant should be closed.

I like La Colombe a lot better since they renovated the inside. Its prime location in the heart of NYU means it can get suuuper busy, but the new layout makes the store better equipped to handle the crowd. La Colombe is definitely on the pricy side for coffee, but I think you get what you pay for in this case. The coffee tastes fresh and high-quality--my iced coffee was a nice medium roast and not too acidic. They also give you your coffee on a cute little saucer with a fancy spoon. Bonus points for the details! Even though it was busy when I went in, I got my coffee pretty much instantly. If you're looking for a solid cup of coffee in the NYU area, skip that Starbucks nonsense and head over to La Colombe instead.

Love love love La Colombe Coffee. It's high quality and less acidic than other coffees. They're a great franchise because they have convenient locations all over NYC. Even though they usually have long lines their system moves very quickly. You just can't go wrong with their lattes!

I can finally see what the hype is about! Agh. Draft lattes are my new favorite thing. Chilled, creamy, frothy, textured latte goodness. The almond croissants here are near perfect. Not too sweet or overly sugar-crusted like other coffee shops or bakeries I've been. The staff are also really friendly. The vibe in here is super relaxing. Bright, open, clean design. Bring a book, grab a cup and a pastry and unwind. (But only if you can find a seat and the lady across from you hasn't setup camp and turned the bench into her couch.)
