La Colombe has hands down the best nitro cold brew I have ever had. I specifically love the nitro latte brew on tap. The foam is dense and the flavor is BUSSIN.
Their ham and cheese croissants are great and they have a wide selection of baked goods. They also have brewed coffee, express drinks, cold brew, cappuccinos, flash cooled cold brew and other drinks. They also have sparkling and still water on tap along with free oat, regular milk, and simply service for your brewed coffee.
Lastly, they have unlocked bathrooms.
As someone who is from Philadelphia that has moved to Boston I’m very happy to see La Colombe coffee shops here.
I used to walk to the Rittenhouse everyday for their coffee and I must say this location did not disappoint! Wonderful coffee as always, so not surprised there.
Staff was attentive, kind, and a joy to interact with. Also, this location was not as busy so we got our coffee fast!
Don’t pass this place up!
Staff is really friendly, big open coffee shop, and the coffee and food is pretty good
I like this place because of what it ISN’T:
Coffee as a fast food dispensary location. It’s dreadful to me how rare it is to see someone enjoy the experience of calmly having a coffee IN A COFFEE SHOP compared to the masses of consumers waiting at mobile app pickup counters, to-go lines filled with headphone wearing, non interactive individuals, drive through windows, etc. I’m sure La Colombe sells plenty of coffee to go as well, but I appreciated getting my in house cortado served to me in a shot glass instead of a paper cup with a print out label pasted on the side. More places like this please
If you’re looking for a rare coffee experience La Colombe is one of the best places to start. I highly recommend their rich blend cold brew. But even the darker hot blends are smooth and rich.
It has a decent amount of seating for a small neighborhood cafe (Leather District across from South Station), which makes it a good place to work. But—at least the last time I was there—they didn’t provide Internet. Perhaps they’ve changed.
The prices are a bit high ($3 for a small hot coffee), but its well worth the guilty pleasure. For coffee fans, it’s a must visit!
Very small but nice coffee shop. We enjoyed the cold brew and hot coffee as well as Café Madeleine's pain au chocolate.
Had my first can of cold brew (oatmilk) caramel latte. I am enthralled that the flavor did not disappoint. They even offered me a glass with ice to improve the flavor. I will make a point to stop by here weekly for my craft coffee fix. Thank you!
Great coffee - I got the pure black & tan, the nitro gives it such great creaminess, no bitterness whatsoever. I do feel like like the nitro also might hide some fruitier flavors of the coffee though. The draft latte was wicked tasty but I bet a full cup of it might be a bit too much to handle.
4 stars only because the place is fairly loud - not the people, but there's a lot of banging of saucers going on and I think 2 or 3 items were shattered by staff while I was there which came as a bit of a surprise.
The coffee is definitely top notch though - I think if you're a fan of blue bottle, this place has a similar feel
Coffee and pastries are very good.
Things to improve:
*Ambience: Music slightly loud if you want to do some work there. Staff went in and out of the coffee stand multiple times (which is fine) slapping the door very hard (this is not).
*Temperature: You were not able to feel the difference between being outside or inside, it was so cold that I wasn’t able to remove my jacket.
I really like their coffee and pastries, but, there are few things that they can improve at this location and make an overall outstanding experience like in most of the rest La Colombe Coffee shops.
Nice place but could use more seating inside. We drank a coffee berries tea that was amazing! They have extremely interesting tea choices. They have 2 faucets on the bar facing the customers where you could get your own water without asking for their help.
Great atmosphere, friendly staff! The black and tan is, as everyone else mentioned, amazing- an inventive way to serve iced coffee. Pastries are equally great, and I love the unique plates!
Very nice and quiet place, across the South Station. Good coffee, beautiful cup designed and friendly waiters. Btw, the music and interior design is great too. What else could you ask for a coffee shop?
I liked it. Located right in front of bus station. Service was swift and smart. Coffee was tasty as well as chocolate croissant.
One of the best coffee shops in Boston. Nice staff and decoration.
They make really good coffee! When I’m in these are (downtown) I don’t mind to spend extra 5-7 minutes to walk there.
Also, they have “draft” coffee. If you never try it you should. It’s absolutely different taste.
Also, they make great chocolate croissant.
P.S.: once I’ve met there Jake Gyllenhaal
