This place used to be a great coffee shop. They offered a wide selection of bakery items—including allergy-friendly options. If you ordered food, they gave you a number, you sat down, worked or talked, and your food came to you like a civilized human experience.
Now? The allergy-friendly options are gone. You’re forced to hover awkwardly at the counter like you’re waiting for jury duty, only to have your food shouted out and handed to you in a sad little brown bag. And don’t worry—you’ll still be waiting, because your order will almost certainly be bumped behind five or six invisible mobile orders that seem to matter more than the people actually standing there.
If that weren’t enough, the staff continues to allow a clearly mentally ill customer to dance, sing, shout—apparently without concern for the comfort of anyone else.
Collectivo, you are a shadow of your former self.

Hit or miss. The line situation is always so awkward and annoying because they stick their merch in the middle of the floor and so there's no flow and causes confusion & crowding. They really need to keep up with wiping tables AND GLASS DOORS clean because thats just gross. It's also smelled like literal diapers or depends on more than one occasion with no kids in sight, which is concerning. Usually the employees are kind but there's one girl there that is rude and won't even take money from your hand, when that's her job. She insists you place it on the counter, but then doesn't bat an eye when she hands you the change. Bizarre behavior. The decor, outdoor firepit and seating arrangement is great. They're usually efficient and do seem to care, overall.
