Letter About Rittenhouse Café Renovations

Dear Friends & Patrons of La Colombe,

At our Rittenhouse café, we’ve proudly opened our doors to the Philly community for the past 20 years, and recently signed a new lease to spend the next 20 years with all of you. We feel that it is about time for our very first cafe to receive a much-needed facelift. We are very excited to be making renovations that will inevitably enhance your experience with us.

To do so, we are asking for your patience during the month of August because we will need to close off the bar area of the café for the first two weeks of the month to begin renovations, but we will still be open for limited service (drip coffee only, no espresso drinks). We will also be turning back the hands of time at Rittenhouse by selling our coffees for only $1 (the initial cost from when we first opened for business).

Sadly, however, for the second two weeks of August, we will need to close the Rittenhouse space completely to finish out the renovations, but our Dilworth café (just a few blocks away at 1414 S. Penn Square) will still be providing full service and espresso drinks throughout this month of transition. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience, but we assure you that our newly refurbished space, which will reopen at the beginning of September, will be a better place for all of us to enjoy. Thank you for all your support over the years.

Much love,
Todd & JP
