Slaveiko S. • December 13, 2019Great new coffee spot in Philly. Worth a try.

Visit Philly • August 5, 2015La Colombe remains the go-to spot for rich Italian-style coffee. The Fishtown and brand-new Independence Mall locations are even pouring a buzzy new beverage: the first-ever draft latte.

Amanda P. • June 8, 2015Really good cold brew and really good lattes. Also has interesting and earthy decor. Great place to do work if you can get a seat.

Joseph S. • July 1, 2018A pleasant rustic respite in the heart of the Bridge District, great breakfast food with a side of ecological conscience, and you can shop for camping and outdoor gear to boot! Check it out.

Huda A. • November 12, 2022Cherry macaroon had the perfect mixture of sweet and sour

@LaurenceTom • June 27, 2012For Milk Tea Connoisseurs: One of the only places to get authentic brewed milk tea not tea bagged. Be sure to order Hong Kong Style Milk Tea (in Cantonese if possible)

Max A. • February 2, 2017I adore this place, with its really cheap homemade snacks from China & Taiwan. The staff is so friendly. Popular for waffles but I love their tea eggs, veggie noodles, turnip cakes, & shrimp balls!
