I got a matcha latte which was fine, but wouldn't recommend. The color was great - however the…read moresweetener and milk overpowered the taste of the tea and I didn't finish it. I would come back and try the coffee drinks sometime because they did look really cool. Lots of fun options on the menu. TBH not a fan of the decor - I know the theme is "blue collar" and they were going for a steel shop vibe but the cafe is pretty dark and feels smaller than it is because of the scrap metal on the walls. Wouldn't be somewhere I'd sit and study but fine for grab and go for me. Maybe I'm just a boomer but I liked the way it was decorated when it was Milwaukee Street Traders and miss how cozy and light it was then. I did LOVE the pay it forward wall. So sweet to encourage kindness in the community and to leave tickets for people to redeem a free drink when they're having a bad day/a nurse/a best friend/etc. Overall, I'd recommend this spot if you're coming to grab something quick but would not recommend the matcha. :)

I had a great cup of coffee at this Colectivo location in Milwaukee's Third Ward. It's right across…read morethe street from the Milwaukee Public Market and in a lively part of the Third Ward. I like an especially bold cup of coffee, and the person who took our order was knowledgeable in helping me narrow down what I should get, and offered a sample of a couple of their coffees so I could pick what I wanted. I got my cup in a real mug which always ups the coffee drinking experience, so glad they had those available for folks drinking-in. It's a comfortable, well-designed space that was busy enough to feel like it was a fun place to be, but not so crowded that we couldn't easily find a table. It's a chain, but a local chain with a handful of locations around town. Loved my coffee and the experience.

As always, excellent service and attention to detail. Coffee was fantastic and great balance.read more

Went back again and had another great coffee shop experience. This time I brought my wife, and we…read moreeach ordered a hot beverage. Food: She got the London Fog, and I ordered the Mocha. The barista was super helpful and made sure we got the right milk preference, which for me is whole milk. Both drinks were especially good. My mocha had a nice balance of coffee and chocolate, with a rich, creamy texture. If I could make one small change, it would be to serve it a little hotter. It measured just over 120°F, and for me, a mocha is at its best at around 135°F. I'll be sure to ask for that next time. This time I paired my mocha with the Caramel Pecan Twist and had it warmed up. That turned out to be an excellent choice and the perfect companion to the mocha. Service: The barista was friendly, attentive, and took the time to make sure our drinks were prepared just the way we wanted them. Atmosphere: We sat inside and enjoyed all of the mid-century modern décor while watching the morning crowd come and go. By the time we left, the place was completely full. Another excellent visit. We'll definitely be back!

This might be my favorite coffee shop in Milwaukee, but the overall experience might leave you more satisfied than anything else. The environment is modern with touches of vintage as the space is clearly set in an older building with upgrades and decor to match the current period. The seating options are comfy and the space is open. The front windows offer tons of natural light to make the space invigorating and fresh. It's hard to find a pour over coffee anymore because of the time and commitment involved in proper preparation. This place not only offers it but you can choose from over 20 options for this beverage! I went with a delightful cup of Ethiopian bliss and my heart was full. The prices are slightly high for the market and service is a bit slower compared to your typical shop. This is a place where you come to slow down and savor the experience as soon as you walk in the door. If you want quick and simple, go to the chain down the road. For an elevated experience that comes with quality product, make sure you stop here and experience it yourself.

Made another visit with a group of friends. It was busy on a Saturday morning…read more Food: Got a mocha, and they did a great job. It was so full that, if it weren't for the magic of surface tension, there would have been a big puddle on the saucer and table. It had great foam, a good balance of flavors, and the right temperature, along with some nice latte art. Service: The staff were friendly, both when taking orders and serving drinks. Atmosphere: Despite how busy it was, we were able to get a table. Unfortunately, the table wobbled because the legs were uneven. That was a bit of a challenge with my overfilled mocha, but some napkins fixed the problem. If I were going to nitpick, I'd also mention that the Wi-Fi is really slow. A good experience and a great latte.

If you order in they serve the drinks in glassware. I enjoy sitting on the patio which is very inviting and lined with plants. WiFi works outside too. The only downside is in the spring/summer bees seem to hang around and pester you from time to time. It depends on when you stop in but I've noticed the crowd ebbs and flows during weekdays and the inside seating area is small. If you're looking for a quiet place to crank out some work this probably isn't the best spot. I usually overhear many convos while trying to catch up on emails. They also have a designated parking lot which is awesome! Overall it's a great spot to check out and in a cute, more off the beaten path part of Milwaukee too.

This location has a nice looking facade, red brick with black awnings. Several healthy looking plants standing guard at the front vestibule. Inside there is a large center table, and some counter spots along the front window. Lots of items and merchandise to look at while you wait your turn. Came with a friend, and it didn't take us long to get to the cashier. Lots of choices on both the food and drink menu. Cookies, muffins, biscotti, and power bars if you are looking for some bakery. Breakfast sandwiches, oatmeal, and other breakfast items as well. Got my London Fog Tea Latte (a little lavender, a little vanilla, and extra foam), in a nice 12 oz mug. They told me it would be several minutes to steep the Earl Grey Tea, which I always take as a good sign that they know what they are doing :) Inside, there weren't any spots for two people to have a quiet or private conversation, so we had to go outside. Then there was the busy street, with traffic noise. The drinks and service were all very good. Unfortunately, the seating options are not a good fit for my coffee shop routine.

It kind of sticks out as there are houses and apartments all around, parking lots is a good size and there is a good amount of tables outside. Inside are more tables and a wall of bags of coffee for sale. Inside and outside are lots of seats but we were talking and wish they had some comfy chairs to sit in and chat. The menu features a good amount of options for different coffee and tea drinks with various syrups and extras. There are a couple of seasonal type specials too. There is a small bakery case with treats from Beans n Cream in Madison, but there isn't much food otherwise. A couple of Kind and Cliff Bars. There is a basket for food pantry donations as well and a local business bulletin board. When we stopped in shortly after 8am on a Saturday morning there was a steady flow of people. The line moves pretty quick and our order was ready in a short amount of time. I got an iced chai latte and my husband got a London fog latte and a breakfast scone. The scone was alright, filled with classic breakfast flavors, but not our favorite. The staff were great in explaining where the bakery items come from and so friendly. I do wish they had some other food items available but for coffee/tea, it's a great stop! Overall a good coffee shop but I wouldn't really stop in for more than that. I would stop again for a drink!
