I wish I had stopped by later in the day for cocktails - but for now, we were here with a desperate need for coffee. There were so many cool options in the menu like the Red Bean Matcha Latte, the Fig Apple Chaider or the Ca Phe Sua Da. But of course, I had to order the Pandan Iced Latte. I absolutely loved the nuttiness of the Pandan in a latte - I'm just surprised more coffee shops don't offer it. And the perfect offset to it was the Ca Phe Sua Da, or Vietnamese Iced Coffee. It wasn't as mind blowing, but still tasty. Next time I'm in Madison, I'm definitely stopping through for some cocktails!

I felt like my taste buds were having an o*gasm, pardon my choice of words. the workers are very kind and chill, and while it sometimes takes a while for food to come, it is almost always due to there being so many customers and not because of any lack of effort. the only suggestion I have is that, if or when the owner retires, it gets converted into a worker cooperative so that the business is much more resilient and is owned by the employee. overall, 5/5, amazing business to go too if you don't mind waiting a bit for food.

The owner is so wicked-smart with worldliness featured with maps on all walls. Just yesterday workers there somehow surmised I'd want bread with my soup and given it was late in the day they'd run out. They actually counseled me on my purchase. That kind of support you just don't find everywhere. And that kind of supportive, joint-decision making on even a small purchase makes us come back. Now I did accidentally have a blind date show up at the EAST WASH location, so it's best to be real clear which one you mean. He did have a coffee waiting for me when I hightailed it over to see him.

Since I live in NY, I had trust Yelp in finding a great spot and I was guided to the right place. In the delivery notes I asked that they select some festive items. Not only were the donuts seriously decorated, they also went above and beyond and decorated the box with stickers and a birthday message. These touches made such a difference. My BIL and sister gushed about how good the donuts tasted. Wish I got a taste! But I will definitely make the trip to visit in person next time I'm in Madison.

After visiting my Colectivo on a previous visit to Madison, I vowed to hit every location in the…read morecity and with my most recent visit and a stop by to this location, goal achieved! I fell in love with the brand via their downtown locations, tasty coffee, creative recipes, chill and local vibes, sustainable and a good cause. All the things! This location is a bit different than their downtown locations, not in service or menu, but it vibes, decor and overall space. This Colectivo is located in an older plaza with a bit of historical significance to the area. With that, Colectivo kept the bones and history of the place, including a cool fireplace inside, and ultimately arranged the restaurant around what was there, not the other way around. As with the other locations, I have an absolute favorite on the menu, an item I am utterly obsessed with...The Iced Cold Brew Oat-Chata. Absolute perfection in an iced coffee cup! Seems fairly simple, but it is complex, layered in flavors and just an enjoyable drink to chill with while hanging out here! As with the other locations, they do offer a bit of food from prepared meals and sandwiches to pastries and treats as well. Service is always stellar at Colectivo and this location is no exception. Overall, massive fan of Colectivo!

The menu is a good size -- plenty of variety without being overwhelming. They've got some seasonal fall specials, a few college-style coffee + Red Bull drinks, and all the classic espresso and cold brew options (no pourovers, though). I got the pumpkin cold brew with a spooky marshmallow on top -- it was festive, not too sweet, and still had a nice strong coffee flavor. Perfect Sunday stop before taking my son trick-or-treating. I'll definitely be back to try their lattes next time!

The word I would use to describe this place is eclectic. Theres a lot going on with this place…read more There's five different places to sit at, two of which are outside. You can sit inside at the main room or head downstairs where it's more private and comfy and then there's the quiet wine bar off to the side. Lots of mismatched new and antique furniture with old wooden plank floors. Parking is limited as there are only four spots behind the place and street parking otherwise. No drive up window either. They do offer some breakfast sandwich choices, but there were no croissants or other pastries to choose from besides one scone. I got the ham and cheese sandwich and enjoyed the crunchy ciabatta roll it came on. The coffee here is as good or better than Starbucks, so they get that important part of the formula right. When you finish your order and run your credit card, the tip screen will be waiting for you or add to the tip jar. The prices are reasonable and the service is friendly with free Wi-Fi. This is a nice place to sit and visit, but not if you're in a morning rush. On some weekends they actually have some live music. Ten informative photos for more insight.

The maple syrup was sourced locally and made in house. I'd be very curious to come back and try the other specialty lattes. My husband got their Homemade Chai Latte. It was cozy in a cup and had nice spices in it. We shared the Bagel Sandwich which was the perfect portion for a breakfast snack. The bagel seemed to have fresh seasoning on it and the flavors layered nicely together. Overall, this was a great coffee, tea, food stop.
