You may see them in and around East Town and Third Ward peddling coffee and now healthy snacks. During the week, they are parked outside the Johnson Controls building (Jefferson & Michigan). 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.

Definitely a well known coffee shop. Colectivo coffee is good, but not my favorite in Milwaukee…read more It's just really hard to beat this location. I didn't take any photos inside this time but their patio is quite amazing. If you go in the weekends before noon, be prepared to wait awhile. There's just no getting around that unfortunately. Being right off Lincoln Memorial Drive and the Oak Leaf Trail, it's an amazing spot whether you drive, bike, or walk from wherever you're coming from. Parking is limited in their lot, but there's an additional free public parking lot across the street with plenty of availability. For non-coffee drinkers, there's a lot of great menu options for alternatives, as well as some solid food options.

The interior is cool too, there are multiple levels of seating, with an almost ski lodge sort of vibe. I had a lavender scone and a latte here; unlike the other location's avocado toast, the scone here was quite good, it didn't taste too doughy or overly dense. And the latte I got was also good, they have good espresso at this chain for sure.

I found the coffee to become bitter after sitting for a few minutes and quite expensive.

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.

I enjoyed the cozy and casual vibes, the service of the friendly barista and the good coffee here…read more I've followed this local independent micro coffee roaster on Instagram for a while. They took over the public cafe space at the Dubbel Dutch Hotel and partnered with Matilda, a local women owned and operated bakery that I like a lot! The latte was very smooth and rich. Personally I preferred stronger espresso, but I still enjoyed my cup here. The cold brew got a unique herbal and earthy taste and naturally sweet long lasting aftertaste - I thought some people would like the herbal part while others would avoid it. There's also a nice line of coffee beans from different countries and at different roast levels for purchase. The pastries were very good. Nice pairing with the coffee. Street parking is normally easy.

We were greeted by Shawn, our barista who had friendly, chill vibes. We asked for his suggestions and ended up choosing the pistachio latte and the espresso drink. Shawn told us to find a seat, I was delighted to see there were tons of spots to choose from. We ended up sitting on the main floor at a very large wooden table that would be perfect for playing games with a large group of friends or family. Shawn promptly delivered our drinks and they were delicious. Besides the drinks, the music and ambience were great and we especially liked the gift area with art, t-shirts, books and more.
