La Colombe Whole Bean Coffee, Fishtown

The historic Philadelphia neighborhood of Fishtown was originally inhabited by members of the Turtle Clan of the Lenni Lenape tribe. This section of river bank earned the name Fishtown in the 18th century as the home of German-American fisherman benefiting from the plentiful Delaware River shad. This evolving blend pays tribute to this ever-changing neighborhood which today as a center for dining and the arts, embodies the spirit of a Philadelphia renaissance and is home to our flagship cafe.
