Very long wait and when I finally got my coffee, it was not what I had ordered. It looks like there are plenty of people behind the counter yet terribly slow.

Good food and quick service

This building and location are amazing! I was rushing to run errands on a Sunday morning and didn't have time to enjoy the outdoor seating. However, the building is located across the street from Milwaukee Marina. There is tons of outdoor seating. I'm pretty sure the chairs are an homage to UW Madison's student Union, which I loved to see. The building itself is so beautiful inside and out there is tons of seating indoors on two levels. There was not a rush at 7:30 a.m., but the ordering line seemed very well organized and there was a special section for online order pickup. The food and drink offerings were diverse. I ordered an egg and cheese English muffin sandwich. Quite sure that the English muffin was freshly baked it was delicious, as was the raspberry scone. I ordered the standard coffee which I drink completely black. It was a little bitter for my taste, but was definitely hot. The service was great. There appeared to be plenty of parking. Great stop for breakfast lunch or a quick snack anytime of the day.

Great location and eclectic atmosphere.

Great coffee shop in Milwaukee! Right across the street from the marina, and plenty of outdoor seating on a sunny day. The cold brew oat-chata (I think that’s what it’s called?) was incredibly amazing and the coffees are reasonably priced for something you’d get in Chicago or New York. And not to mention, each staff was friendly too providing great service.

On my trip, I went here every day!! The black currant orange scone was mind blowing. I got their caramel latte with lavender in it. Soo good!

Obsessed with this specific location of Colectivo. It’s perfect for business meetings, first dates, a sunny little spot to work on a warm day, and everything in between. I most recently had the iced windy ci-tea and it was incredible. I would go there every day just to get that if I’m being honest. Oh, and if you’re hungry, you’d have to be crazy not to get the potato bacon burrito. You’ll straight up inhale it. So good. Getting hungry just writing this review!

Food is good, people are friendly, usually seating whenever we go. Coffee is good chai is dope. All around good place. Prices can be considered high but normal for the location and for coffee. Also, there is history. Ask about it.

Good coffee in a beautiful location. I'm more a fan of the Prospect Ave location - but since COVID stuff, lakefront is open longer in the day.Remember - double punch/points on Tuesdays

It has all the ingredients working well in dovetail - location, vista, aroma of coffee, the vibrant yet relaxed feel. The staff is friendly, the menu is awesome. It's such a beautiful place, I wish it didn't have so much crowd so that I could spend hours reading a book there. Of course it gets crowded, so do check it out early in the morning on weekends.
