Before heading to Green Bay to go to a Packers game, my husband and I stopped for our morning coffee and breakfast at Colectivo Coffee Third World. It was within walking distance of our hotel so we came over and got our morning fix. I decided to order a peppermint fluff mocha, served hot with oat milk. It was the perfect wintry beverage and not overpowering. My husband ordered just a plain classic latte. We both felt that the coffee drinks were strong and the quality of bean was good. He ordered a chorizo breakfast burrito and I ordered the egg white breakfast burrito. His burrito was definitely a lot better than mine and just had much better flavor. I was trying to be healthy and honestly should've just gotten the chorizo breakfast burrito like him; mine was made with egg whites and had kale. All in all, a really great cup of coffee and lots of breakfast options. read more

Obsessed! I came by to check out colectivo on a Tuesday morning. There was no line when I arrived. So tough to choose what to order because all of the options sounded great. Ultimately went with the oatchata and the goat cheese and egg sandwich. The oatchata was the perfect amount of sweet. The egg sandwich was tasty but a little bit messy; the oil got on my hands quite a bit. Very relaxing atmosphere to catch up on some work and enjoy good food. I'd love to come back! read more

I absolutely love Colectivo and make it a point to stop in whenever I'm in Milwaukee. Their pistachio matcha latte is my favorite drink and not overly sweet. I get it hot which is a warm and cozy option. They also have good iced sport teas which I've gotten quite a few times. The veggie pesto burrito is my go-to food choice. It comes with a side of salsa which has a slight kick to it, it's good on its own too if you don't like spice but I appreciate it. They offer lunch sandwiches and pastries too. It's a fairly spacious cafe with outdoor seating if it's nice out. The staff is always friendly here too read more

I feel like this location can be easily missed, the way it's tucked into the building across from the Public Market. Don't miss it though- it's cute, quaint, and they have friendly staff! I popped in between meetings in the area and love to see their ever-rotating seasonal specials. The blueberry maple latte popped out to me so I just had to give it a go. I'll say, I so alway request 'light' flavoring, which they did, and it was still plenty (and delicious)! I'm a fan of their coffee in general, so can never really go wrong with what I order, but this one was a winner. Stop on in and support this local chain! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Love Colectivo but this location has the same issues every single time. Staff gets a little sassy when you flag them down to remind them about items you ordered but they forgot about... which actually Happens almost every time. Just kind of a bad system but they just don't change. Food has taken a step back as well. Price goes up but food is cheaper and smaller. Come for the coffee only. Otherwise go to the lakefront location. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Good pub food and great selection of craft beer. I was amazed by the speed of the service regardless of the congestion level. One of the best places to dine or have lunch in the middle of downtown. read more

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! read more

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!!! read more

I just got their regular brewed coffee with an espresso shot ($4.30 for an extra large) and then a breakfast croissant sandwich ($8.50). The coffee was pretty good. The sandwich was as well but the bread is pretty flaky and $8.50 is maybe a bit much. Cool downtown location but it's quite a bit smaller than the Lakefront location. read more

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. read more

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!!!! read more

My favorite coffee store back from when I was in Milwaukee as a student is not in the Ward: nice location right by the market and all the other boutique stores. I would live in here if I lived here! Great variety of specialty drinks, sandwiches and snacks. Friendly service, mix of barstool and table seating with windows looking out on the street action. read more

Fun and lively ambiance- Decor is on point. The hip and old school building give it a rustic chic look. Order: Vanilla cold brew: their brand of coffee is excellent. You can taste the aroma and lingering roast after taste from your first sip. Only critique is not enough sweetness with the milk foam. But overall good coffee beans. Pink panther fruit smoothie: Blended combination of fruits with strawberries to make it look pink. Nothing to complain-refreshing. read more

I love this Colectivo location! It's a smaller one, so it's definitely a good central location to grab and go. There are a couple tables, but it is not as extensive as the other locations. I walked over on my lunch and tried the new turkey chili. It was super good! They prepared it quickly and it was waiting for me when I arrived. read more

This is a nice and cozy shop! It's a little smaller but I'm usually able to find a table to do some work. I wish they had more outlets. I liked the London Fog here! read more

Coffee was really thin. Maybe just a bad brew but disappointing given I had many options for caffeine this morning around here. Atmosphere was what you'd expect for hip coffee. A girl I sat next to mentioned her latte was watery as well. read more

Super cute coffee shop! Lots of options and even some outdoor seating. I got the hot salted caramel latte and it was perfect.

Great fresh brews here! Nice decadent baked goods to go! Conveniently located by all the shops with inside and outdoor seating. Fun to relax and enjoy a cup of brew here! read more

Here for work and stopped in on a morning walk. It was super busy between mobile orders and in-store, but the line moved quick and the service didn't feel rushed. The shop itself is super cute! It's near a big street and has large open windows so maybe not the best for remote work, etc. but would be great to meet friends/a date! What I tried: iced honey cardamom latte, egg and goat cheese English muffin What I loved: both! - I always order my lattes half sweet, so I thought I might miss out on the flavor since the syrup itself was both the honey and cardamom, but I was pleasantly surprised! This drink had just the right amount of sweetness and the perfect amount of ice (iykyk) - Had no idea the English muffin was house made, but omg you can taste the difference! It was light and fluffy, loved the addition of pesto and spinach, and the goat cheese was not at all overpowering read more

I never knew Colectivo Coffee had food and it's so good! I've been missing out all this time. Originally, was just supposed to stop for a coffee, but ended up grabbing a bite to eat and it did not disappoint. I got the chicken chipotle sandwich and it was 10/10 for flavor. The distribution of ingredients on the sandwich was a bit off. Half of the sandwich had all the chicken and the other half was empty of chicken. The chicken was also in these nuggets/chunks which I wasn't a fan of. I think the sandwich would be so much better if it was just a chicken patty covering the entire sandwich. The slaw was super refreshing and delicious. So overall, it was a solid sandwich. The ambiance of this place was quiet and comfortable. Service staff were kind, but I was disappointed in the process to get the food. I ordered at the kiosk and grabbed my coffee from the barista when it was ready, but wasn't aware when my sandwich was ready. It was placed on the pickup shelf and no one called my name or notified me. I think the sandwich sat there for about 10+ minutes before I inquired about the status of it. It's no biggie the sandwich was still great, but probably wouldn't have been as soggy from the slaw. I think it would be beneficial if the food pickup system was set up better for dine in guests. read more

The coffee and Chai here is superb. Went to three different locations. If you can get to the one near Lake Michigan.. You must! The building is just gorgeous. If not... No worries the quality and service at each location was excellent. read more

5/5 star experience. Pretty views around the area especially with having the Public Market on the other side with plenty of seating. Cafe itself is small and a little crammed in the morning. Takes a little bit to get your drinks but it's worth it. I ordered a small iced chai latte and it's definitely one of the best ones I had. The flavors are truly there which would be more of the spice and cinnamon flavors. Also ordered a medium hot latte 10/10, no complaints. Lastly the pesto veggie burrito really really good. Interesting flavoring, lots of broccoli, good amount of cheese and the homemade salsa slaps. Gives it a spice read more

I like Colectivo a lot. Local coffee roasters is one of my favorite parts of Milwaukee. Need to improve the breakfast burritos, especially their salsas. It's such a simple thing to get right and could be so nice with their above-average coffee, especially for 7.50 for a single McDonald's-sized burrito. Cold brew oat-chata is tasty! Wish they would mix it better, but no issues. A bit stuffy and loud on Sat at 12, but that's to be expected. Kind workers. read more

My fav espresso stop in MKE! I usually go to the Humbolt location, but the 3rd Ward location was an easy bike ride. Barista Bryce served up my quad espresso (properly, in ceramic) with professional skill and a wonderful personality and smile. I enjoyed the best time of year in the Midwest... Summer, and stood at the sidewalk standing bar tables. Great people watching the Summerfest crowd. read more

Julio crafts a coffee as a unique creation made just for you. You can tell he pours creativity and positive energy into each drink.

Delizioso, yumm! Yep, what a delicious cup of cappuccino! Cute, nostalgic place tucked into an old building that offers many choices for the coffee-goer. Service was awesome and more than accommodating. How, exactly? Kind, well spoken staff, with service brought to your seat (even though they don't have to). Second time coming here, and next time I will give a go again. read more

Great service, they know how to make some delicious drinks to get you going in the morning.

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.

Because I work downtown, this location (and the one in the US Bank Building) is the one I frequent the most. Also, when I'm needing a good latte, I know this location isn't going to be quite as busy as a couple other locations, especially on the weekends. It can still get packed but I've never not found a table or waited more than 2 people deep in line to order. Turnaround time for lattes and food is always nearly immediate, even when you'd suspect there might be a longer wait! The location is ideal, right across from the Public Market but still feels like you're tucked away while you drink your latte, watching the people and cars passing by. I've enjoyed the outdoor seating during the summer and rushing in from the cold during the winter. My all-time favorite is the Mocha Mexicana but I'll usually try the special lattes being offered too. The quality of the coffee and food is consistent throughout all locations, which is important when you have your favorites and begin to even crave them! I brought my daughter to this location during a "girls day" and she was beyond thrilled with her breakfast wrap and coffee, even if a tiny bit jealous when she heard I visited so often (without her). It was just what we needed during the wintery fall day! Now, if only Colectivo offered classes on latte art to interested customers to compliment the Colectivo coffee I buy for home... :) read more

Before leaving Milwaukee, my friends and I decided to go to Colectivo Coffee to grab caffeinated beverages before we all headed back home to the Illinois suburbs... we all had a looonggg drive back home so we all had to make sure we had our caffeine fix before driving back. I ordered Iced Hazelnut Latte with an almond milk alternative. It was the right amount of sweet goodness and enjoyed every sip to the last drop! I loved my beverage! Sooo good! read more

I am a diehard, Colectivo Coffee lover! It's my favorite in town. The service at the third location, however is horrible! They are always over-inundated with pick up orders and tend to only focus on that, leaving a paying customer right at the register waiting for 10 minutes. They seem to need at least one more person to man the register. I won't be back to this location again. read more

love Colectivo. So far, all locations. I'm super sorry the Bayshore location closed. It's not just the coffee, but the vibes. This one is not as great as the Lake Drive location, but it's still Colectivo! read more

Worst coffee, service and over priced to boot. The Americano was so weak I had to order an extra shot of espresso, which turned out to be a tablespoon, barely changed the color of my drink. The only thing they got right was my drink was extra hot, as I requested! $6.51 for horrible service and product. Wish I had walked a few blocks to Starbucks. It's really hard to support local businesses when you have experiences like this.! read more
