Colectivo Coffee on Monroe Street

Great coffee shop with vibrant and friendly atmosphere. Strong coffee taste and nice cappuccinos, flat whites.

A cozy coffee shop, nice to hangout with friends or a second office for working at home persons. This is a great place for me to be a long-term customer. Espresso quality is normally very good (look at my pictures 😉)

Easy going, spacious, and pleasant environment. Mocha shake is fantastic, breakfast burrito wasn't nearly as good as what I was hoping for, but was tolerable. Would go again for drinks, probably not for food.

I had a French Roast lighter coffee. Was rather strong by my tastes, & I've been told I prefer stronger than average cup of coffee. The dark roast was Burundi, an African blended variety, quite strong I was told by manager, who served me & took my order at the cashier station. I had a Roasted Chicken Chipotle Sandwich:

All-natural free-range chicken, coleslaw, pickles & chipotle mayo on sesame semolina 555 cal

$8.00

It was absolutely delicious, perfect balance of spice, sweet red cabbage and mildly flavored pickles. Mayonnaise was perfect amount for flavor, moist texture, without sloppy & falling apart condition.
It all held together perfectly, & lightly toasted bread was perfect finish to superlative presentation.

Atmosphere was warm, sunny, & welcoming. Very busy when we went, that's sure sign it's got great food & beverages.

Service was prompt enough & order was ready/called out to me at our table in less than 5 minutes. All completely within range for good service & great food/coffee.

I gave 25% tip for excellent service & quality menu items. Fresh, tasty & balanced sandwich menu made mandatory that I give 5 stars of 5 for overall rating.

My friend enjoyed his pastry & coffee, & we stayed several hrs chatting, as usual for our exchanges. Nobody was hurrying us out of the place, even though rather busy. Very inviting atmosphere & I'd highly recommend to anyone for quality of menu & atmosphere, airy and bright. Will return in future & try other menu items.

Honestly a cozy coffee shop. Great vibe and great atmosphere. But where I loose interest is the coffee. I went in today and ordered a Vanilla iced latte with oat milk. Visually the drink looks good. But taste wise I'm very disappointed. The espresso shot is really bitter and overall poor. And the oat milk doesn't really taste like oat milk to be honest.

I honestly don't know if I'll come back, Maybe to try the food.

I had stopped coming here for awhile because they were not providing the option of getting coffee in for here cups. I was so excited that policy had changed but was really disappointed today when my coffee and food came in a disposable cup and paper bag despite having asked for the non-disposable option. I really love Colectivo but can’t support these practices and all the waste that is produced as a result.

If you have half a day to wait for your food, head here. Took 35 minutes for a simple egg and cheese muffin only to have the muffin tougher than a piece of leather. This experience leaves a lot of work for this location. Some experienced operations leaders would be a good first step.

Easily the best Colectivo in Madison. Though the menus are uniform across the other locations, this location makes the best tasting sandwiches, and the location/garage door in summer can't be beat.

This place is very quaint, cute and cozy. Stopped here after a shopping day and had a caramel steamer and a cardamom latte. Both of which were very good!

Cold brew Oatchata is so yummy but so overpriced tables are good for playing solitaire w your friend
