Adorable neighborhood coffee shop that's offering an elevated take on some of your favorite coffee drinks. We tried the mocha and the caramel latte and both were exceptional. The drinks were exceptionally creamy and the flavor was so wonderful. Rich chocolate but without being sweet or syrupy like you find at so many other coffee shops. The mocha had a Mexican hot chocolate flair to it with subtle spices that I wouldn't expect or even normally gravitate to but once you try it you'll want nothing less! A true coffee drink, which helps support the $7-$8 price range for a latte. Aside from this, the interior is very similar to the previous coffee shop- small but with enough architectural charm and natural light that you can't help but want to pull up a chair for a moment. Staff did a great job creating these amazing drinks although no one was particularly friendly. Still, I highly recommend this place and cannot wait to go back.

I stopped by here a couple of Sundays ago with my wife and our twins for our morning coffee. Every Sunday morning we try to hit up a new local coffee shop and on this morning we decided to go to Columbine Coffee. We had been to a columbine cart before but I was interested to see it as a real shop. This location is located on the North Side in the former Adda coffee location. Not much has changed from that either with an area to order your coffee, a small area with seats overlooking Western Ave and then more seating in the back. For our coffees on this morning I ordered my wife and I the farmers latte and then a real macadamia nut latte and then we also ordered an arepa columbiana. When given the option of the two coffees, my wife ended up with the real macadamia latte while I got the farmers latte. I really enjoyed all of the spices and sweetness that were in this drink and could still taste the coffee in the backend. Meanwhile my wife enjoyed her drink as well as she could really taste the macadamia nuts. The real star for our family though was the arepa as my daughter and son both loved the chorizo! Then the arepa itself was good as well, even sans most of the chorizo and my wife and I enjoyed sharing it.The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our drinks and the arepa was good as well!

I am so thrilled to have Colombino open on the North Side! Located in the former Adda, the space is reminiscent of the former coffee shop but with a bit of its own flair. Western Ave was in desperate need of a coffee shop again, and Colombino fulfilled that need and more! Despite the food truck that's been around for years, this was my first time trying out their coffee and arepas and I already can't wait to go back. The farmer's latte was absolutely delicious - the coffee and spices together were the perfect pick me up. I also really enjoyed the breakfast arepa! I'm not always a fan of scrambled eggs, but I would eat them a lot more if they were always this soft and tasted this good. I'm excited to go back and use my new punch card!

I noticed this coffee shop randomly after leaving a restaurant across the street from it. The inside is cozy and there is a section in the back suitable for working or just reading a nice book. You can buy merch from this coffee shop and they also have traditional small bites like arepas. The service from staff definitely lacked warmth but the drinks were good. I ordered a chai latte and a dirty chai hazelnut latte. I liked the regular chai latte better.

New coffee shop in the Northside! They are a Colombian coffee shop with amazing food and drinks! They have a few food trucks but this is their first store front spot and it is so cute!!! The interior is full of flowers and they also have a back patio, which I didn't go to because I live in fear of the spotted lantern flies so I am currently avoiding all outdoor spaces. We ordered a Matcha with Oat Milk, Breakfast Arepa, and Pistachio Latte with Oat Milk. I was blown away with the breakfast arepa. It was extremely extremely flavorful and sooo good! I could eat it everyday omg. The chimichurri sauce was phenomenal. Hands down the best chimichurri sauce I have ever tried. I will certainly be back!

Good coffee! Small little space but it's cute, well-decorated and overlooks the street. I ordered an iced pistachio latte with almond milk. Price was quite steep, nearly $9. I thought it was really good and they nailed the pistachio flavor. It's nutty and kinda salty and has some pieces of pistachio which I loved. I got it less sweet and I'd recommend just getting it as is because mine could have been a tad sweeter.

I stopped in here on a weekday to check this place out. It's a cute cafe nestled right on Western Ave in the northside. The space is larger than it appears from the outside. As soon as I stepped inside, I was warmly greeted by the two staff members working. I ordered a dirty chai spice latte and an arepa with plantains and cheese. Everything came out fresh and hot and I found a spot up front, looking out a window. For me personally, the arepa did not work. I love plantains and I love cheese, but I thought these plantains were be prepared in a more savory way. They were very sweet and for me, the combo did not work well. The chai was delicious though. There is absolutely no sweetness in the chai, so if you're used to chai lattes from Starbucks or somewhere like that, you will be in for a shock. lol overall, I had a great experience. I will stop back in and try some more of their offerings!

This is a great place to stop and have a cup of coffee or a latte. Their artisan lattes are excellent. Also they're dog friendly.
