Colectivo Coffee on Monroe Street

Have had not-so-great experiences with their staff in the past (especially an argument about what they wanted to charge us versus the price posted right on their menu) but decided to give it another try. Had a better experience this time. Yummy hazelnut latte and great music playing (heard some Tears for Fears!), relaxing atmosphere. We'll try again!

Love the location, coffee, ambiance and employees. I only wish you were open longer. Doing work at a coffee shop is literally my thing.

Most coffee joints want you in and out... This one feels like a neighborhood gathering spot that wants you to stay. I'll be back to spend more time.

Drinks, food, pricing, seating, music and service are all average. It's a coffee shop chain, like any other. They lost stars with me because their bathroom set up is so disgusting. *There are no sinks or paper towels in the bathrooms.* This means the doors are extra grimy from zero washing before leaving. If you get anything on your hands, like baby poo or period blood, you get to be in front of everyone while washing up. Are you pregnant and dealing with morning sickness? Better vomit neatly because there's nothing in the bathroom to clean up with. Need to change and clean your menstrual cup? Have fun showing it off to all the people in line! Need to reapply make up or fix your contacts? Everyone gets to watch you make that weird face while you do your thing. All the cleaning and grooming you'd normally do at a mirror and sink has an audience here, so you better not be remotely shy.

This is my favorite coffee shop in all of Madison to do light work or meet up with friends. The vibes are immaculate, the coffee is incredible, and they offer a wide selection of food and baked goods.

Great food and coffee. Such a cool coffee shop.

Cinnamon roll was very dry coffee was okay service was good.

Great environment to work in, and you will love the delicious food and drinks! 🤭

The latte was good, but that had to be the longest I've ever waited for a coffee. The wait to order wasn't bad, but the wait to get the coffee took FOREVER.

I was seeing by this specialty coffee shop when I'm in Madison. If you like pour over give this place a shot.
