    Quaint place with eclectic music and space to read, chat or play board games (books/games available). Freshly made sandwiches and a coffee menu that ranges from the norm to "pancake iced coffee", "the thunder kiss" and my choice "blackberry maple latte". A comfortable place for well priced treats

    This has been a short time bookmark and today I knocked it off the list as my lunch spot. Parking was very easy with plenty of street parking right in front. The place can best be described as the 70s word groove with the colorful walls and unique art on the walls. Are the miss match chairs on purpose or just at the wrong tables ?. The menu is small with breakfast and lunch options and a cold case with various sweets, drinks etc. I opted for the Grinder that sounded good with ham, salami, pepperoni, onion, creamy Italian dressing, provolone, mozzarella, greens drizzled with olive oil/vinegar. My first impression was that it was kind of skimpy with the ingredients for a $9 sandwich compared to most sandwich shops and very thin. The sandwich was tasty with the nicely toasted bread and warm melty cheese that came with a bag of chips. I hate to say that the average person with a healthy appetite will find this sandwich small. I have to say that this was the smallest/thinnest panini that I have ever had.

    The Twisted Turkey Sandwich

    Relaxed cafe meets hole-in-the-wall is the best way I can describe this place. Great coffee, and the menu is simple but elevated. The wifi password was offered immediately upon purchase and written down for our table by a very nice women. Parking seems to be a non-issue the few times I've stopped in.

    Mushroom, spinach and cheese quiche with red pepper.

    Super spot. The quiche (today was vegetable) was outstanding! Think quiche is a 1/2" thick hockey puck? Not here! Light, egg custard 2.5-3" thick with an outstanding flaky crust and both pretty and tasty veggies. Wow. Coffee was delicious, too (had drip coffee and latte with an extra shot). Other folks' food looked great, too. (The bottom "layer" in photo is just shadow.)

    The turkey sandwich w Asian slaw
    Emily K.

    IN LOVE! Thankfully Grubhub introduced me to this gem. I got a bacon egg & cheese (a lot of it!) on a bagel (came everything bagel), got myself a turkey sandwich w the Asian slaw on focaccia (very flavorful and light) for lunch (comes w kettle chips, I added the pickle bc I'm a psycho and love them drenched in pickley juice), and splurged w a slice of pumpkin choc chip bread! I cannot complain about anything. This is a hidden gem, as I lived near by and never been. I'm so ashamed. The eggs were fried medium (so ideal), and as I ordered from an app, they listened to all the details on my order! I will definitely be back in person to support and love directly. Everything was fresh and "real".

    Iced mocha!

    Love this place. It is super convenient to sit and enjoy coffee and a great breakfast burrito as my dog gets a haircut across the street! Wifi works well so I'm able to get work done, and the staff is super nice and accommodating. 10/10 little spot.

    Caramel cream iced coffee

    I've only been to Cafe Blue a few times, but each time was fantastic! Friendly service and great food! Today I got some iced coffee and the breakfast quesadilla delivered and they were kind enough to upgrade my drink size! Definitely recommend Cafe Blue!

    White chocolate mocha and a cinnamon roll

    I have been to Cafe Blue several times and it has always been an enjoyable experience! The owners are very pleasant and knowledgeable. They have a unique variety of coffee beverages and their food is delicious!

    Best cup of tea in Milwaukee. The right amount of tea leaves to water. Strong and delicious every time. And what friendly service.

    One of my favorite Colectivo locations with the outdoor seating (plus firepit) and ample seating…read moreindoors. The service here is always friendly, reliable and speedy, even during busy times. As with other Colectivo locations, the menu rotates with seasonal coffees and food items. The cold brew with cold foam is my latest go-to and the vanilla cold foam here was just right, not too sweet or overwhelming with vanilla flavor. We grabbed the coffees to go but although the cafe was busy, there was still ample seating because of the large space.

    Cute place, lots of seating inside and out (with a great fire pit); very casual vibe. IMHO, the…read moreemployees were talking a bit too much to each other, didn't seem like they were really paying attention to what they were doing. I noticed 2 large coffee drinks made and slid over to the pickup area; they were in exactly the same paper cups, but neither were labeled. How were they to know which drink belonged to whom? I wondered.‍ Oh well, sure hope they did. I ordered a flat white, something I'd heard great things about online. However, this one was not a good way to start my journey. This flat white was absolutely AWFUL. I'm not sure what it was--if the coffee itself was over-roasted, or the milk went bad, or the machine (God forbid) was not clean--but the drink tasted burnt, bitter, highly acidic, and just "off," giving a weird unpleasant sourness at the back of my tongue. It's a good thing Collectivo serves flat whites in their smallest size, because if it had been any larger, I could not/would not have finished it. I'm by no means a coffee connoisseur, but I *am* a bit of a coffee snob. I love a good coffee. I love a well-made coffee. I know good coffee. I typically buy local freshly roasted beans, and make myself a coffee at least 1-2 a day at home. NONE of the coffee I've ever made at home--or that I've had out and about at any other shop--has tasted as bad as what I had at this particular Collectivo. I'm not saying they're all like that, I'm not even saying any other drink at this Collectivo is bad, but I anticipated--and expected--much better. I may give them another try in future, but only with GREAT trepidation. Of course, YMMV.
