Reigning "Best Coffee Spot in the West Loop ". Iced coffee and Iced Latte served on Nitro Draft . Try them together for a Black and Tan . Few baked options make this a tasty coffee stop any time of day.

Athena Cee

Double shot espresso over ice with a small amount of half and half , mmm! Tastes incredible! Consistently friendly staff and right near my hair salon so I make sure to get me some!

AskMen

La Colombe takes a much more scaled-down, European-style approach. making the recently opened spot a great place to wind down with a good book or simply stare at one’s delicious cup of java Read more

Erik Rowley

Anything through the steampunk is top notch. A genuine hipster atmosphere with some of the friendliest and knowledgeable baristas around. Two thumbs way up!

Philippe

Their espresso kicks serious ass. I love that small chain. Been to the original location in Philly many times. Need to have wifi and less attitude in Chi Town . But come here for the coffee . Top notch

JenKudu

Mocha really is a mocha . Delicious! The iced coffee on draught is pretty good, note the latte on draught is nearly straight milk . Croissants are pretty good too.

trillateezy

Cafe au lait 's are on point. Executed well , so it's a good middle between straight coffee and a latte . Not a fan of the bakery , bc the can't warm anything up. Cold/hard croissant ? Not tasty.

Scott Kleinberg

Small spot but usually a few tables. They keep it simple here, and it works. I recommend the latte for here - comes in a ceramic mug and feels like home.

Aaron Cruz

Pour over goodness at the West Loop craft coffee roaster . No wi-fi as your focus should be on savoring the handcrafted cup of coffee and great conversation at this neighborhood spot .

Mark Dreger

Really like this spot – coffee tastes great and comes in fancy porcelain cups. Also, they take Apple Pay.

Kirstjen Lorenz

The chai tea with steamed milk & a bit of sugar is really a wonderful treat. Much better than that stuff I usually drink at Starbucks, Peets, etc.

Stefan Thoss

The Pure Black and the Pure Tan cold brew coffee on tap is awesome!

Time Out Chicago

The Philadelphia equivalent to Intelligentsia opened its first Chicago café quietly (though the location, across the street from a Starbucks, certainly sent a message). Read more

Martial Bénard

Minimalist decor. Great roast, La Marzocco machine. Impeccable cappuccino !

Explore Chicago

La Colombe supplies coffee to West Loop restaurants as well as to cafe patrons. Try their Leonardo DiCaprio blend: proceeds go to the Actor’s foundation to support environmental sustainability.

Travel + Leisure

This café serves some of the best coffee in town , thanks to its personal touch and unbeatable brews.

Chris Steele

If you're lucky, your Barista will harmonize seamlessly with the Beatles background music . If you're not, the coffee with still be good.

JABRIL YOUSEF

chill , trendy spot but … no wifi (though, you can pick some up from Nando’s next door).

Prince Mods

:( Drank the espresso here, it did not delight me and made me sleepy for the the price. However, nice atmosphere and great service! :)

Ben Joeman

This is one of my favorite places to get coffee . Wonderful atmosphere great coffee .

Margaret Lopez

Hands down, the best Americano I have ever consumed. My friends have often raved about this place, and now I know why! :)

Kirstjen Lorenz

That Basque cake is delicious! A great accompaniment to a chai tea with steamed milk .

Maxwell Henderson

Great coffee , unique atmosphere. No WiFi , and staying is not the most comfortable . I'm assuming they want to encourage conversation.

John Khuu

Amazing coffee . Very limited space - small tables in the front, big communal in the back. No prices posted anywhere on drinks.

TO Solomon

This place is awesome, good coffee and quintessential snacks that are always on point

Heads up - They don't give you a free cup of coffee with purchase of beans.
