Colectivo Coffee of the Third Ward

Awesome drinks, friendly service, and food prices.

Great first stop on a Milwaukee day trip!

Delicious coffee, good food, and a very kind and friendly staff! Great prices too.

Every other Colectivo location would get a 5 star from me, but this particular location seriously messed up our order and pretty much blew us off when we called about the inaccuracies. Of an order of 6 items, 3 were wrong — a sandwich replaced the burrito I ordered, my drink was incorrect, and I ordered a brownie but was given some sort of oat bar with nuts. Don’t bother with this place, it’s worth the drive to go to a different Colectivo.

Me and my wife came in At around 650.... As soon as we got in, we didn't feel welcomed at all. No hello, or anything.. Then after 1 minute of looking at the menu, the lady at the register rudly said, we close in 9 minutes.... So precise with the time. BTW, me and my wife are an interracial couple, a few minutes later an ALL WHITE couple came in and were greeted happily and were not rushed. BTW we also gave a 2 dollar tip, why? I'm not sure why. Finally when we got our shakes, the lady brought them out, and placed them on the counter so rudely and when we said thank you she quickly turned her back and walked away.... What started off as an excitement quickly turned into major disappointment .. I will never ce back here again. And they say support the local shops.. Well, I never got this kinda treatment from McDonald's. .. But from a local shop .. Psst. . This place I will never come to again

Nice place, very friendly and helpfull people. The coffee and the bakery are awesome. I can only highly recommend the cinnamon rolls!!

our service is very friendly, and our orders were accurate and delicious. But they got my friend and eyes names wrong, and we're wondering how that even happened. I thought I got the wrong order, but it was handed to me while the person was making eye contact, so I took it, and it was my order. I'm thinking maybe they give nicknames to people, since they did it to both me and my friend. I don't know.

If the leadership weren't a bunch of union busters, I'd still be giving y'all my business. Alas.

I suggest going to Anodyne if you like good coffee AND worker's rights.

I cannot recommend ordering food there. My wife is a vegetarian and has several food allergies. She ordered a vegetarian burrito at the cash register. She waited for her food, and after it arrived she again confirmed with the guy handing over my food that it is for sure the vegetarian burrito she ordered.

Starting to eat her burrito, it was definitely a meat burrito that she did not order. She consumed half of the burrito and starting to realize it was not the burrito she ordered. As a consequence, she felt sick all day not able to eat any sort of food. They apologized for it; but I think mistakes like that are absolutely not supposed to happen. Serving a vegetarian a meat burrito after confirming if it is the right burrito should definitely not happen. We won't be going there again.

Definitely one of my all time favorite coffee roasters— and in the most chic neighborhood? Badda-bing-badda-boom

Absolutely phenomenal coffeehouse, the atmosphere is warm & inviting, the drinks & food equally delicious, & most of the staff is fantastic.

Centrally-located, spotless, flawless Wi-Fi, cozy-industrial style with juxtaposed pops of colour, with massive windows that let in fresh air (particularly wonderful on rainy days), & also has a small section of outdoor sidewalk seating. All presided over with eclectic music from The xx's "VCR" to Ella & Louis' "Stars Fell On Alabama".

Their americano is one of the best I've tasted since Italy & one of my go-tos, which obviously means their espressos are also great. The employees are so incredibly knowledgable about their products, & fine tune their machine to get the best flavor, & nuances of the coffee depending on the temperature, humidity, etc. If you're not in the mood for coffee the "Green Hornet" is also remarkably tasty.

One ham & Swiss sandwich: $7.75 --- Expensive? Once you taste it, no. Bread that's made locally in Bayview, with baguette made in a legitimate French oven, & yes it's pretty damn close to the real thing. Then for a little extra flavour & for perfect minimal texture, sprouts. They also have a hearty quiche & so many wonderful desserts, with constantly changing seasonal tastes.

And finally the staff. Practically everyone is wonderful. The whole kitchen staff to everyone in front. Elizabeth, Lauren, & the Emilys' always bring a smile to my face, & Daniel is so bloody knowledgable, broods, & always gives perfect service. This is politically incorrect, & I apologize, but she is the only one there. If you see the Asian girl on bar you should just keep on walking, you're sure to be disappointed or irritated. I know that I'm annoying, but everyone else is accommodating without issue. She doesn't listen to what you're saying & just gives you the first portion of what you ordered, & is so incredibly awkward to the point it's rude; she never smiles & just stares at you & blinks like you have some sort of rabid woodland creature adhered to your face. Sounds stupid, but really puts a small kink in your day when you just want your coffee.

Other than that, this Colectivo is the best in Milwaukee. Great coffee, great food, great place for conversation.
