La Colombe Coffee Roasters

Very good place to drink coffee in the morning, the staff serves quickly so that the long snaking queue is quickly passed. The taste of the coffee is world class, the view of Philadelphia city hall. recommended place

I remember where I was when I had my first cup of coffee. I was nine years old and on an overnight train heading East from Berlin. My mother was missing and my father was slumped over in his seat, the laudanum having kicked in shortly after we left the brick and glass monster of a station. The rattling rail car, one of the old GDR builds, was the kind where the toilet had no running water, just a trap door onto the endless rail below. A bear of a man man opened the door, peering in through eyes barely peeking out over the bird's nest of a beard, and saw my father, unconscious, ensconced in some unknowable bliss, and then turned to me. Kofe? He grumbled at me, I nodded yes, silent, not knowing what he meant. He took the mark notes from my small hand and passed me back a steaming cup of a brown liquid. I sniffed and recoiled, like a cat sniffing at the sour notes of a citrus fruit. I turned to hand it back to the old man but he was gone. I was left alone, trundling aloneinto an undiscovered country, kept company only by an unconscious failure and a cup of coffee. Anyway this place has a nice view of City Hall and the coffee is good. Nice place to bring tourists.
