La Colombe Coffee Workshop
955 W Randolph St, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“This Philadelphia-born coffee institution brings serious espresso credentials to Chicago's North Loop, earning devotion for their meticulously crafted cold brews and creative signature drinks that go well beyond the usual cafe fare. The cozy Workshop space runs tight and efficient—expect a line out the door and intimate seating for just a handful of guests—but regulars rave about the quality matcha lattes and premium beans that justify the wait. Whether you're grabbing their canned cold brew for later or settling in for a caramel brûlée latte made with care, this is coffee-forward hospitality that takes itself seriously without pretension.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu. Opens early.

Very nice coffee shop in a nice part of town. They have their cold brew canned coffee available as well as a traditional coffee shop with a wide range of choices. The matcha latte was surprisingly good. Very limited seating indoors.
Today I find myself at a La Colombe “Workshop” in Chicago’s North Loop. For those who have yet to experience La Colombe Coffee, this is Philadelphia’s answer to Starbucks. Unlike their Green counterpart, La Colombe has strived to retain their coffee soul. Sorry Howard, no…
Great spot with a decent menu and a good selection of premium coffee. The space inside is very small though, only enough seating for maybe ten people at most. This can lead to the line being pushed outside which is not ideal in the winter. Still though, worth going to if…
Cozy coffee shop in the Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago. Limited seating. The line starts outside. We had heard it’s a popular coffee shop and it’s been busy since we started standing in line. Friendly staff. Quaint! I did have an unfortunate experience after writing this…
