I used to love the strong, dark coffee at this place when it first opened many years ago so I jumped at the opportunity to visit again. I ordered a short double capuccino but what I received was all milk with barely any coffee. Very disappointing.

REAL coffee served in REAL china in a REAL coffeehouse even REAL coffeetables! Wish I had one of these closer to home. Loved it!

overrated coffee and overpriced you are paying for the tv show i have had better coffee from the supermarket

Nothing beats La Calombe. Period. Don't miss it if you love your coffee and pastry. There is no much else to say. Just don't miss it.
