La Colombe
900 6th St NW, Washington, DC
Crema's Take
“This DC spot nails the balance between serious coffee craft and welcoming hangout space, with a particularly stellar pour over selection that espresso devotees won't want to miss. The clean, simple aesthetic and genuinely helpful staff create an atmosphere that's equally suited for focused work sessions or catching up with friends, all while the smell of freshly ground coffee hits you the moment you walk through the door. It's the kind of place where the limited menu feels intentional rather than restrictive, letting quality speak louder than options.”

Nice atmosphere and friendly and helpful staff. Coffee is decent and so are the prices. Limited menu.
The coffee is decent, and they offer a small flavor selection (the flavors are good and not overpowering). Service is not bad. The atmosphere is nice though it can get a little loud due to the way the space is set up and the materials used. Overall decent coffee shop
Awesome pour over choice! Outstanding staff, excellent atmosphere for social or work and centrally located
If you are looking for a chill place to work, eat, relax or meet with friends…this is the place. Walking in you get hit with best smell ever….ground coffee. The place is simple and so clean. Had to go with a classic and got an Iced Latte and let me tell ya….STRONG! So good. And being a coffee shop snob and drinker….this is a must. Service was friendly and very attentive. Took time with each customer and made you feel relaxed and welcomed.
I recently tried the canned La Colombe drinks and was an instant fan, so it was a no brainer I had to stop into a brick and mortar (which I had no idea was a thing!) My husband and I stopped in every morning while we were in DC. I typically like to try new drinks, but the Rachel was sooooo good I ordered it every time. However, my husband got a hot vanilla latte one of the mornings and he said it reminded him of some of our favorite cappuccinos in Italy. He got a cinnamon bun every morning—definitely messy, but super delicious without coating your palette in sweetness. I tried a different croissant each day, which were all delicious cold, but I’m sure would be on another level of delicious if they were warmed up.
