Colectivo Coffee- On the Square

Super nice workers. Good place to work at. The drinks? Wayyy too sweet.

Both my girlfriend and I were overwhelmed at how sweet the lattes were. Especially when we got a scone, which was also made pretty distasteful with the drinks. The food was just alright.

I live in Milwaukee and have been hard pressed to try this bigger company, but decided to in Madison oddly. You may be better off going to a local spot in town.

Colectivo is a cute little coffee shop right on the edge of the Wisconsin state capitol, providing a variety of reasonably priced drinks and snacks in a friendly atmosphere.

The staff were kind and polite, and we enjoyed the view of the capitol, sitting in the cool of the shop with our drinks. 😋

Always a delicious breakfast. The bacon egg and cheese croissant paired with a salted caramel latte was perfect. Bought a bag of the Snowy Day for home. Highly recommend stopping here on a nice cold winter day.

Fan since Alterra - but this is sad. Non-hyperbolically the worst breakfast sandwich I've ever had. Muffin was rock hard and cheese was wax-like. They need to change this up ASAP. Reminds me of government-issued elementary school lunch.

I love everything else about Colectivo and their locations.

The baked oatmeal was delicious and vegan. Kudos to this shop for having more than one vegan option. Huge space! Clean, lots of power outlets to charge your devices. Super friendly staff.

A great coffee shop.

Genuinely delicious, high-quality coffee, served by a friendly staff.

There are a lot of goodies to shop for, and many great seating areas. Everything you would want from a cafe.

All of Colectivo’s Madison shops are great, but in warmer months when the front room’s windows are open, this is my favorite. Iced lattes and smoothies are a go-to for sitting along the storefront and watching the hustle and bustle of the capital square.

Went here on Labor Day so it was slammed as it was one of the few places open. Friendly staff, decent breakfast. I don't drink coffee but my parents said their decaf and Nicaraguan roast was good.

I’ve been a customer here for years now. Colectivo made my favorite turkey sandwich in town. Sadly, on my most recent visit, I learned that they changed the bacon they use to a lower quality, thinner pre-made type. I also no longer saw a sign they used to display about the local butchers they would partner with for high quality meats. It’s really exhausting and disappointing to continue seeing so many businesses lower the quality of their products or services while keeping prices the same or even raising them. I hope Colectivo doesn’t head further in this direction, because at some point I will no longer be able to justify a lower quality item for the price of eating out and expecting better quality than what I can make at home. Also - they don’t recycle.

Amazing coffee... we had the medium strength which was a pour over one and you had to wait a few mins for it to properly brew but it was worth it! Fancy cups as well! Will definitely head here again. And it's right next to the lake as well so that's an added advantage
