La Colombe’s Rittenhouse spot serves artisanal brews and standout pastries in a cozy, stylish space perfect for coffee purists and casual sippers alike.
"What I like about it is it’s kind of for the coffee snobs, but they accept everybody. It's not that deep. They know they have amazing quality coffee but they won’t throw it down your throats. It's a great way to start your morning. It was my neighborhood spot. Before a road trip with friends, a day of shopping, or before we’d go to brunch, we’d meet there. So, it was always just a cornerstone. That's how we’d start. Meet me at the coffee shop, and we'll figure it out from there." - candis mclean
"Sure, we love the enormous restaurant, bakery, and bar that is La Colombe in Fishtown, but when we want to write our romance novel or pretend to be living in one, we head to the Rittenhouse location. It’s dark, moody, and always full of characters you’ll want to spy on while enjoying your draft oat latte and almond croissant." - alison kessler
"Sure, we love the enormous restaurant, bakery, and bar that is La Colombe in Fishtown, but when it comes time to write that romance novel or just pretend to be living in one, the Rittenhouse location takes the cake. It’s dark, moody, and always full of characters you’ll want to eavesdrop on while drinking a draft oat latte and tearing into an almond croissant. photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo photo credit: Nicole Guglielmo" - Alison B.

"La Colombe is the queen bee of Philadelphia coffee. And while they have three locations in Center City alone, the Rittenhouse location at 19th and Walnut is the first home for the roaster." - J2 Design
"Philly's premier coffee house Philly boasts many fine coffee shops, but La Colombe is actually a coffee shop and a roaster of premium coffees. In my humble opinion, their coffee blends are the best available anywhere. Founded in Philadelphia and strictly fair trade, La Colombe coffee is served in the best restaurants in Philly and New York. Be sure to try the exceptional chocolate/coffee bars produced by La Colombe in partnership with master chocolatier Eclat Chocolate of West Chester, PA. In a word, divine!"
