Colectivo Coffee at the Foundry

A part of an old Milwaukee foundry, converted into a coffee house chain "cast" in Milwaukee. Close proximity to Walker's Point bars and restaurants make Colectivo Foundry an ideal pre- or post- evening ritual. Pro Tip: Start next door at Stack'd for a grass fed beef, or bison burger, some local beer and stop here to for some coffee before hitting the town.

I may be biased, as I grew up going to Colectivo, but I really love this location! I went here during quarantine, so of course service was limited, but the atmosphere is so lovely and quaint here. Obviously the coffee is good and the bakery items are even better, especially the lavendar lemon scones and cinnamon rolls, and also the cranberry bars!! Yum, can't wait until quarantine is over and I can hopefully return and see how this location used to look!!

Previously, I thrilled at sipping the original recipe of a dark or white chocolate expresso frape iccee at Colectivo. Original recipe was without milk lookalikes or dairy. Just sweet Godiva chocolate powder, expresso and blended with ice-- tasted like a decadent fudgecicle!

Today I tried the "new" recipe for a creamy frape: different recipe that now includes milk! Disappointing, like one of the similar frapes at Starbucks or Stone Creek.

(Truvadore bakery items ( pumpkin chocolate chip & cranberry pumpkin seed muffin were awesome!)

What made the old "original" & no longer available recipe stellar, was that it not only tasted great without a milk substitute or dairy, but it was unique, without any of the other places (Star Bucks & Stone Creek) having it.

Please bring back the original recipe!

Busy, but quaint. Excellent Wi-Fi. Great sandwiches. Not too noisy.

Good coffee ,I really appreciate my flat white👌

As a dog walker this curbside pick up thing has been very convenient for my morning coffee runs. Unfortunately the smoothie I had been looking for was no longer on the app, so when I called to place an order I had been originally told that not only the drinking been discontinued, but they were also not taking phone orders. As I expressed a little sadness Erica said she would try her best to accommodate. She not only was able to make the smoothie, but also take my order over the phone. When I arrived she was incredibly sweet, and in a great mood - even for having been inconvenienced (by me) first thing in the morning. Great customer service, great smoothies, and I always leave with a smile on my face! Thank you Erica!👏🏼💓

Try their pink lemonade!!!
We found this super cute coffee place near the Wisconsin intermodal station.
They have excellent bakery with great drinks.
There is a pretty, esthetic seating outside as well.
We tried the cranberry pumpkin muffin and almond croissant. Both pretty good!
Would definitely come again!

Great coffee shop to come and get some work done. Favorite of mine. They amped up their space in the past few years which is nice to see.

Biggest downside is lack of outlets at many of the tables. Surprising that isnt more of a priority for all coffee shops.

This place is convenient for me to visit in between appoint when I’m downtown. I really have two things I Order: lattes and espresso shakes. They have strong WiFi here to get work done and there is always open seating, it’s never too crowded. Fast service, friendly staff. I’d recommend this to young professionals working downtown or near the third ward/walkers point.

I had a vet appointment this morning with MKE Vet Clinic which is right by this colectivo. During my app, I went to get coffee and sandwiches. My pet unexpectedly died during my vet visit, I went to go ask an employee about my food since I had just got the call and the kindness that I received was amazing and so wholesome. Two employees refunded my order, gave me a free sweet treat, and also talked to me and made me feel like they truly cared. Thank you so much for the kind words and loving gestures, you have no idea how much I appreciate it. The employees that work here go ABOVE & BEYOND for their customers and are truly good human beings. ❤️
