I like a good coffee shop, and I like many of the Colectivo locations. This Colectivo is on a busy street corner in Wauwatosa. For being in this part of the city, it has a big footprint including parking, a large outdoor patio with a firepit, and an expansive interior. The overall design is what I would call urban chic. It has plenty of places for seating, singles, deuces, or larger tables. It also has an inside patio with garage doors that open during nice weather. Like I said, lots of space for finding a comfortable spot.
Stopped here on a Monday morning around 7am. It wasn’t that busy, with a few other small groups scattered around. I got right up to the counter and was greeted by a cheerful staff person. Got my order for a London Fog Tea Latte (little lavender, little vanilla, extra foam), along with a special bakery item, Chai Spice Apple Crumb Cake. They made my latte in a mug, but they were out of plates for the bakery. They were able to warm up the crumb cake, which was much appreciated.
The London Fog Latte was excellent. Just the right flavors, not too sweet, and the texture was good. The temperature was a bit on the cooler side, so I’ll be sure to ask for extra hot next time. Unfortunately, the crumb cake was a big disappointment. It was so dry and crumbly that it practically disintegrated into dust. In the past, I have found some of the Colectivo bakery to be hit or miss. I’m not a muffin fan, and I don’t like their scones because the texture is all wrong, but I have had luck with the Almond Croissants.
Lots to like about this Colectivo. I’d come back, and probably tweak my order a bit to make it an even better experience.

I like Colectivo. It’s a local chain that does a nice job with creating a personal space with an excellent service and food/drink. I have found the staff to be helpful and efficient. This particular location has nice character, lots of space inside, serveral different seating areas, and an outside patio with a fire pit (although I do wonder why it runs all the time, even without people seated by it).
Only posting this review because this isn’t the first disappointing experience/ bad food I’ve had at this location. So I think it’s probably time for me to move on from going there. I could deal with the fact that the staff aren’t friendly, but don’t mess with my food.
Now? The allergy-friendly options are gone. You’re forced to hover awkwardly at the counter like you’re waiting for jury duty, only to have your food shouted out and handed to you in a sad little brown bag. And don’t worry—you’ll still be waiting, because your order will almost certainly be bumped behind five or six invisible mobile orders that seem to matter more than the people actually standing there.
If that weren’t enough, the staff continues to allow a clearly mentally ill customer to dance, sing, shout—apparently without concern for the comfort of anyone else.
Collectivo, you are a shadow of your former self.
I always go for the chai latte (so good!) and can’t resist the pumpkin raspberry muffin—such a tasty combo.
This day I had my little helper with me. And he approves of the plain croissant. Little guy is acting like he’s being over worked with mom. LOL.
This has become my go-to spot for client meet-ups, and it never disappoints. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!
Sausage, egg, and cheese, English muffin, absolute trash. More like a cold piece of sausage with an overcooked egg between two scones
Chorizo breakfast burrito for $7.50, kids size. Rip off.
