Part of La Colombe Coffee Roasters
La Colombe Torrefaction was founded in 1993 in Philadelphia out of both the respect for the experience and ritual of coffee service, and the thought that coffee as an idea, is never really done. Our founders found a home at the edge of Rittenhouse Square in Philly, signed a 20-year lease, and started roasting and serving traditional blends from within their modest little shop. They wanted coffee to be accessible, to be approachable, to be for everyone, and this simple idea started something very special. It started a community.
