La Colombe Coffee
1414 South Penn Square, Philadelphia, PA
Crema's Take
“La Colombe's Philadelphia location hits that sweet spot where serious coffee craftsmanship meets a genuinely welcoming vibe—their seasonal rotating drinks like the strawberry mocha draft are creative without being gimmicky, and the self-service milk and syrup station lets you customize to your taste. Whether you're catching up with friends, settling in with your laptop, or grabbing an early morning pastry, the calm, clean atmosphere and genuinely kind baristas make it feel like a mandatory stop in Penn Square, not just another coffee shop.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

The barista was super nice! It was quite busy but seats opened up. I got the seasonal strawberry mocha draft and it was DELICIOUS. It seems like a great place to study or hangout. It wasn’t too loud and there’s lots of seating.
I stopped here very early in the morning. It was very clean coffee was good food was average. Who was clean it was very calm. People were nice. I would certainly go here again
Very good coffee! This is a mandatory stop if you are in Philly!
I visited your location recently and ordered a hot drink. While waiting, I noticed the environment was extremely warm — there was no functioning HVAC, only a single industrial-style fan. I waited outside due to the heat and returned inside to check on my drink, as I had class…
Best coffee in Penn Square! The cheese danish pastry was yummy too. My cold brew tasted good. I liked the self service milk and syrup station. The draught latte was interesting! A little milk-forward for me, but my wife liked it. Don't let the line bother you. It moves quick.
