Why go
The draft latte is the shorthand order here: cold, creamy and the drink La Colombe is best known for. This Beverly Hills room is the Philadelphia roaster's first stand-alone cafe on the West Coast, a bigger commitment than its smaller Los Angeles counters in Century City, Silver Lake and Frogtown.
Roasted in Philadelphia, poured in Beverly Hills
La Colombe roasts in-house at its Philadelphia headquarters, and this cafe runs on the same sourcing and roasting programme that supplies the company's rooms in Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Boston and Washington, D.C. The menu is coffee-first: lattes, cappuccinos, cortados, the draft latte and single-origin pour-overs, with signature blends alongside single origins. The pour-over is where the beans get the most attention, made from a coffee chosen to express a specific region rather than a general house profile. The company's stated mission, to make someone's day every day, fits a cafe built for repeat coffee service rather than for occasions.
A stop rather than a meal
The Beverly Hills location is a polished, fashionable room, and the format is centred on ordering coffee with something small rather than settling into a restaurant meal. That makes it a morning or midday stop for residents, shoppers and visitors moving through one of the city's major luxury retail and dining districts. There is seating, but the rhythm still points to efficient counter service. Food supports the drinks rather than competing with them: pastries, house-made treats and light snacks, not a full kitchen menu.
Order the draft latte first
Start with the draft latte on a first visit. It is the clearest shorthand for what La Colombe does, coffee presented in a polished, easy-drinking format that suits a quick stop. For something more coffee-forward, take the single-origin pour-over instead, since that side of the menu is built to show the character of an individual coffee rather than milk texture or sweetness. The classic espresso drinks are the third route in, particularly a cappuccino, latte or cortado pulled on the house-roasted espresso. Add a pastry or a house-made treat when you want something alongside the cup, and treat the food as a companion to the roastery programme that is the real reason to stop.

Frequently asked questions
What is the draft latte?
La Colombe's best-known drink and the most representative order in Beverly Hills: a cold, creamy latte poured in an easy-drinking format that suits a short visit. If you want the coffee itself to lead instead of the milk, order the single-origin pour-over, which is made from a coffee chosen to show a specific region.
Where does the coffee come from?
La Colombe roasts in-house at its Philadelphia headquarters, and this cafe runs on the same sourcing and roasting programme as the company's rooms in Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Boston and Washington, D.C. The bar pours signature blends alongside single origins, so both a consistent house profile and individual lots are available.
Is there food at the Beverly Hills cafe?
Pastries, house-made treats and light snacks, meant as a companion to the coffee rather than as a kitchen menu. The format is counter-led, so the natural visit is a drink with something small alongside it, taken at a seat or carried out into the surrounding retail district.
