1346 Florida Ave, NW

Been getting tons of emails about the La Colombe coming next door to the Manhattan building on Florida Ave just east of 14th. Signage went up in June and the space looks ready to roll:

Still waiting on an opening date – continue to stand by.

Cool!!! Passed by the other day! Are they allowed to have a rum distillery (or at least serve\sell) like the one in Fishtown Philly?

YES

On September 19 La Colombe replied to my inquiry on Twitter by saying “waiting on some final touches…hopefully in the next few weeks!”

  They’ve been saying that for weeks 🙁 https://twitter.com/BillR/status/780414167857627136

    No doubt it could just be a blow-off answer, but to be fair at least in that tweet (where they say “a few more weeks”) it’s just Sept 20 – one day after they told me the same.

    Of course, maybe they’ve just been saying that for months and it means nothing at this point. Wait and see, I guess!

      No, no I’m sure it’ll be just a few more weeks 🙂

Reading this with a cup of their coffee in my hand. Best in DC IMO.

  Yeah, I like their coffee the best, too.

WOw – the space looks great (and loud…)!

Their coffee is good, not great. A net positive for the neighborhood though.

Absolutely love this lo-kay.

Someone at LaC Blagden Alley said that Florida Avenue is definitely opening this weekend. Is it true?
