    Nice new addition to this area of town. It’s a decent sized coffee shop with several seating areas. Nice menu with both ready made foods and simple options to order. Coffee and matcha options are fairly decent. They also have a decent tea selection. Pleasant and clean. They have outdoor seating areas, which will be fantastic for the warmer months. Parking in this area is not easy, you might find street parking. They do have roasted beans and other merch to purchase. Take a break - make it a fika time - enjoy the coffee and connecting with friends!

    Such a disappointing experience at this new Collectivo location. We waited nearly 20 minutes for a basic latte while watching around 15 customers who ordered after us receive their espresso drinks. When we asked for an update, we were dismissed. The latte itself tasted like warm milk with no hint of espresso. I won’t be returning.

    We ordered a hot chocolate and a latte. We watched no kidding 15+ people order after us and receive their drinks before us. It made absolutely zero sense. After asking once where the drinks were, we were told ‘I’ll check’, which clearly didn’t happen and we were dismissed. Then again we asked as we were still waiting for a latte, plus we kept seeing people order and get their drinks before us. Only after we said not to worry about the latte because we needed to leave did they finally make the latte. and then it was a terrible latte that we suspected was just milk heated up as there was no taste of coffee. Unfortunately at this point we couldn’t even return it because we had to lease and had already spent so much time waiting. This is so disappointing because we were excited to try a new establishment in the area and have really enjoyed collectivo on state street. Unfortunately I will not be returning and would not recommend because of this service.

    Excited to have a Colectivo in the neighborhood! Probably one of the best chais in town and really great food options. Staff was kind and gave us good service. Keep in mind that it gets busy with people working/studying on laptops for hours at a time so you may struggle to find a spot, especially on weekends, so might not be the best brunch spot for a social outing.

    Excited about the latest Colectivo to open it's latest outpost on Willy St today! They're giving away free latte tokens for January (while supplies last?) so it's a no brainer to check it out. I had an Everything Bagel Babka which was savory and delicious with my latte that I had to stay. I enjoy drinking out of their ceramic mugs especially during the winter and it did not disappoint today. Plenty of seating in lots of books and crannies. Pretty full of folks on laptops, journaling and in conversation. A great addition to the neighborhood.
