La Colombe just got some love from the New York Times. The newspaper of record visited the coffeemaker’s first New York store and had this to say:
“High-end restaurants around town serve coffee from La Colombe Torrefaction, a Philadelphia importer and roaster that started training baristas years ago to make artful designs in cappuccino froth. Now the owner, Jean-Philippe Iberti, and three partners, including Douglas Wolfe, have opened a relaxed but very focused brick-walled cafe in TriBeCa, where well-made espresso, cappuccino, latte, American coffee and some teas are served, properly, in china cups ($2 to $3.50).There are no flavored coffees or sugary concoctions. The closest the cafe comes is its modestly sweetened, slushy coffee granita ($3.50). Pastries from Petrossian round out the inventory.The coffee, both beans and ground to order, is also sold in the cafe: 319 Church Street (Lispenard Street), (212) 343-1515.”
