La Colombe Coffee Roaster

Great staff!! Pastries and coffee are delicious but the barista(s) are the icing on the cake…. all very friendly and obliging. They don’t get annoyed when you’re specific about a drink you want tweaked. Très accommodating with a perfect mocha latte every time. Not filled with 3/4 cup of foam instead of drink and then get offended when I ask them to scoop out the foam, like requested from jump. Didn’t experience any of it here. Hidden around the corner and cozy with great tasting and aromatic coffees, the cafe can get pretty busy but in a good way…. servers are still on point with very little waiting time. Kudos to La Colombe Coffee Roasters 🙌🏾

This place has one of the best coffees that we've had in DC. The draft coffee is amazingly smooth and creamy. The coffee is fragrant and thoroughly enjoyable, although I usually prefer my coffees to be stronger and bolder in taste. It's not the easiest to find the place considering you have to pass a smaller alleyway to the back to see it. Would definitely be back for another cup before I leave this place. Plenty of art on the walls outside the cafe - a bonus.

The cold brew here is superior. What I appreciate most about this shop vs the 99 others is the attention to detail: they offer oat milk, cream, and homemade simple syrup at the bar for you to add yourself without the $1 up charge. The bar is a true coffee bar, you can stand and sip, complete with a spoon and tea plate. It’s a coffee experience, and I’m here for it ☕️

Hidden on Blagden Alley NW in DC, but it is easy walk to get to if staying in the area. This is locate down a neighborhood alley and not easily spotted, but worth the hunt. You will know you are in the right area as it has plenty of artmurals around. You will also find the DC Alley Museum in the same area. Very welcoming place as it has an open design like you would find in a neighborhood like this. I got a ham and cheese croissant with my cappuccino. If you want to get a quiet coffee and breakfast away from the DC chaos, drop over here for a spell.
