[ad_1]

Delicious lattes are brewed at the flagship location of Whole Foods Market in Austin.

Opened in early December, just in time for the “cold” season in Austin, a lively addition will warm the Whole Foods downtown market on North Lamar Boulevard and Sixth Street: La Colombe.

The popular Philadelphia coffee brand, known for its signature classic blends, single-origin coffees, and lattes and cold brews on tap, will open a cafe at Whole Foods at 525 N. Lamar Blvd. open the company’s first café location in Texas.

The entrance to the café is part of the Friends of Whole Foods Market program, which brings shoppers closer to outside chefs as well as culinary and lifestyle brands to create more innovative shopping experiences.

La Colombe’s new independent retail space and cafe within Whole Foods will include a 234-square-foot coffee bar highlighting the brand’s European-inspired style, featuring a mix of woodwork, white marble, black granite, blackened steel, and subway tiles .

Though many Austinites recognize the brand’s peppy lattes, cold brews, and ground coffees that are already filling the shelves of Whole Foods locations and other retailers across Austin, the new Cafe La Colombe offers the opportunity to sample some of the company’s beverages dated Barrel to try.

The cafes offer a full menu, including the signature Cold Brew, Draft Latte, and Oatmilk Draft Latte on tap, along with rotating bar offerings such as La Colombes single-origin coffees and blends, available as espresso drinks and drops . There will also be a rotating selection of 12 ounce boxes of La Colombes Corsica, Monaco, Nice, Lyon and Afrique mixes, as well as baked goods from the popular Swedish Hill bakery in Austin.

La Colombe currently owns and operates 30 coffee shops in Philadelphia; New York; Chicago; Boston; Los Angeles; San Diego; and Washington, DC, and plans to open additional locations and enter new markets by the end of 2022.

After opening in early December, Café Austin in La Colombe is open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
