Staying at Marriott downtown Milwaukee and was surprised to not finding a Starbucks around the corner, lol. It was a usual experience for a New Yorker where the green sign seems to be on every block. Asked the hotel concierge and she pointed me towards the Public Market and Colectivo across from it. It was a cold February morning, walking 3+ blocks for coffee seemed crazy but I did it anyway - the sun was out. Once inside, I was surprised there were many patrons. Not sure whether they drove or walked here. It was a busy cafe. I tried one of their scones - choco. Tasty with a medium roast coffee.

I had to stop by my favorite cafe in its base location. I was in Milwaukee for work and picked up my morning coffee from this place. It is located in Third Yard location which had a lot of upscale restaurants, cafes and shops. I ordered a latte with almond milk as well as Butter Croissant. It was great!

Beautiful cafe, but I was a bit underwhelmed. It didn't feel very inviting and as someone who was there for the first time (visiting from NY), it just felt like it wasn't worth the hype (TikTok). I didn't try any of the pastries but I did get a matcha. It wasn't my favorite. It could've just been the day I came. I'll give it a try again whenever I'm back in town and hopefully it'll be better! Again it's beautiful, love the art and how it's decorated. It's highly recommended, so I'd still give it a try!

The decor is so cute and cozy. The workers were so kind and patient. My iced strawberry matcha was delicious and they also have a variety of pastries and speciality drinks. Don't go here if you are in a rush! I'd recommend doing an online order honestly. The line was pretty long and it took almost 15 minutes for my one drink to be ready. The employees work hard, so I obviously don't blame them! I'd definitely go back next time I'm in Milwaukee.

Fabulously designed coffee shop in the historic third ward district (truly love the entire aesthetic) with a very creative drink menu! We heard about Colectivo from fellow Yelpers and this was our first experience. Service was quick. We weren't totally blown away by the particular drink we ordered - the salted caramel - didn't really have a salted flavor and was more milky than espresso forward. Will try more when we visit again!

I love the vibe here. The food is good and the speciality coffee is even better! They have a few locations around the city with a mobile app to order ahead!

We used to stop here pretty often because it was around the corner from where my daughter used to work. Great coffee, great outside seating... the service has always been a little meh. Next time we are in Milwaukee, I am sure we will grabbing a coffee from Colectivo.

Almond milk latte and scone!
raquel t.

Visited Milwaukee in August and searched for a great almond milk latte. Colectivo did not disappoint! The latte was so good and let me tell you how delicious their breakfast sandwiches are! I went back the next day for another latte! Looking forward to my next visit to Milwaukee and getting my almond milk latte!! The barista was super sweet too!!!

Really sweet people working - such a lovely start to my day! And the food and drink options are incredible. Great outdoor seating for sunshine and fresh air or indoor seating if you need that.

This Collectivo was so cute. The service and the people working were SO KIND. I was waiting patiently and Julio reminded me kindly they would be right with me as he was training a new team member. He was so kind and energetic and full of smiles. He truly made my entire day. The coffee was also delish. I will definitely be back to spend my days studying here before class!!!! Thanks Julio for being so sweet and inviting - I'm sure you make a lot of customers smile. Keep up the great work He also made me laugh when I came back for the bathroom code and told me before I even had to ask, he said "I could just see it written on your face" LOL! Truly an awesome team member and this Collectivo should be so grateful to have him on his team!!!!

Iced chai with almond milk.

Such a nice coffee place. Large and open, lots of plants. Great service and the almond milk chai is delicious.

Waited twenty minutes for a latte that I never got while the baristas chit chatted. Would not recommend unless you have 30 minutes to spare.

My friends and I stopped here for the first time while celebrating a bachelorette party, and I…read moreabsolutely loved my drink. Since this coffee shop is located inside the Public Market in the Third Ward, it was very crowded when we visited. We were able to place our orders right away, but there were easily twenty people waiting for their drinks. The baristas clearly had a lot going on, yet they handled the rush extremely well. Everything still moved smoothly, and the crowd was surprisingly patient. I ordered a 20 oz iced caramel latte ($6.75), and it was incredible. It was so creamy and rich and reminded me of those Werther's caramel coffee hard candies in the best way. My friends all took a sip of mine and ended up liking my drink more than their own, which made it even better. Honestly, this was one of the best lattes I have ever had. Despite the busy atmosphere, the quality of the drink and the efficient service really stood out. I would absolutely come back the next time I am in the area.

Anodyne, although is a staple, is not a coffee shop I enjoyed very much. Although I wanted to love…read moreit, I found the caramel latte to be too artificial tasting (I believe they use Monin syrups). They are also quite expensive, especially compared to other coffee shops. As they are in the MPM, seating is upstairs for the entire market.

It's the service that separates them from the others. Every morning Mike yells out, "BARRY!" Mike and Matthew (when he is there) really work hard on getting to know everyone and makes it a point to remember what you do, like, your interests or asks about your weekend. Ask yourself, when was the last time you experienced that? I usually go for their dark roast. Recently, I tried the pour over (it takes more time to make) and the flavor and quality is much better if you have the time. Today, I wanted to try the Booster Bites,on-the-go energy in bite sized portions made with nuts, seeds and dried fruit. They are supporting this brand by selling this from their cart. They also donate 10% of their profits to a charity each month. The accept debit and credit cards too. Bring in your own cup and get a discount.

I came here, first time, on a whim since it's close to where I reside and I always walk by it…read more I was out and about earlier in the day and wanted to have a nice sit down meal for myself. I love sandwiches and knew I had to try the pastrami. It was fantastic. I've been trying to cut back on caffeine and I instead went with one of their refreshers on the menu. It was I believe and 'Blue and Grapefruit' - and that wasn't my favorite as someone who doesn't really care for grapefruit that much. I got it thinking it would be diluted a bit, SO, if you like grapefruit, I'm sure it's perfect for you. I also got a peanut butter oreo pie and wish I took a picture of it...but I devoured it too quick to even think about it. For me, that dessert was the definite highlight of the cafe. I'll definitely come back on more weekends when I have a craving for pastrami.

First time here. It was a cold morning, so I stopped in for a hot beverage and something to eat…read more Food: For not being a coffee shop, they have an extensive menu of hot and cold beverages. I ordered a London Fog Tea Latte, with a little lavender and a little vanilla, in a mug. The barista did a nice job and gave the tea a good long steep. It had excellent flavor, and the temperature was right (about 140°F). It would have been even better with a bit more foam on top. For bakery items, they had a big pile of large cookies (cowboy?), but not much else. The food menu is a little sparse but has some good options for breakfast or lunch sandwiches. I ordered a Cubano sandwich, which turned out to be an excellent choice. It came out hot, with nicely grilled bread and savory meats inside. The roasted pork was especially tender and flavorful. It came with a small container of slaw, which was a little uninspiring. Service: The person who took my order and made my drink did a nice job. She took her time and did a good job with the drink. I appreciated that they delivered both the drink and the food to the table. She was a bit soft-spoken and a little hard to hear with the music playing. Efficient, but not especially outgoing. Atmosphere: The space has a bit of an industrial minimalist feel. High ceilings with the mechanicals in plain sight, along with colorful paint and design elements. Seating can accommodate groups of different sizes, though there aren't too many spots ideal for couples. The space can be a bit echoey, and the volume of the music could make conversation challenging at times. It's a nice spot for groups to hang out, and there was a larger table where people were working and collaborating. A decent spot for hanging out at lunch or later in the afternoon.

We stopped in here for one of their velvety smooth and delicious caramel lattes and a little lunch. For lunch, I got their veggie wrap. It was super basic but the toppings were fresh. It wasn't anything special but fortified me for more shopping. The service is always lovely, the atmosphere is bright and relaxing, and the prices are reasonable. Get to it!

It was later in the day so they were running low on bakery items, but spotted a red velvet cookie, YUM! Was doing some shopping and decided to pop in for a pick me up. Service was friendly, and decided to get my chai for dine-in, to enjoy a moment with all of the fun artwork and to catch up with a friend. Chai was delicious, and chairs by the window were a comfy spot to take a moment and people watch along Broadway. Pretty cool conference space that you can rent, looked like it had all the bells and whistles for a productive meeting. Nice to be able to peruse the art gallery and art pieces for sale as I waited for my beverage. Highly recommend, and prices are competitive to any other coffee shop in the neighborhood!

Six of us came here on a recent Saturday morning. We were lucky to grab one side of a long table…read more The place was busy with a friendly vibe. The coffees we had (and one mocha) were delicious and delightful. We sat down and they called out our names (after a little bit of a wait). But the wait was worth it. Also, it was a little hard to hear them call our name - we were talking, folks on the other end of the table were talking, as well as others - and thankfully someone in our group was paying attention and did hear it. There are games on some shelves and we picked up Cribbage and played while we sipped our drinks. And let me tell you - the drinks were yummy. We ordered the following: "What Winter Brought," "Peppermint Mocha," "Channel Orange", and two "Moon Waters." Because we all wanted to sample each other's drinks we each got a sip of the others to taste, and there wasn't one I didn't like. The photos of the drinks are below - except for Channel Orange which was in a unique cup, unfortunately I can't remember which one is which! But don't they all look appetizing with the lovely swirls and desings? I don't know what the vibe is like on a working day (one of the members in our group does come here to work on weekdays). If you were wanting a quiet place to work on a Saturday morning, this might not be the right spot for you on a Saturday. This is a great spot to meet a friend or hang out with some friends. If you want some delicious craft drinks anytime, I highly recommend stopping here and glad it's here in Milwaukee. I'll be back!
