Colectivo Coffee on the Lakefront

The atmosphere and location was absolutely amazing! However, I wasn’t super impressed with the taste of my Windy-Chi. I would still recommend trying the coffee shop. I would definitely try it again with a coffee and see if I like that better too.

Fabulous selection of foods and beverages, multi level dining areas with generous seating. Great views on their expansive outdoor patio area. Their own signature coffee blends are all equally delicious. Perfect for a drop in to go drink for your lakefront walkabout or a sit down with family and friends for a bite to eat in eclectic and artistic decor. Dog friendly outdoors and also widely broadcasted WiFi available. Peak hours can be a bit of a cramped wait, but the staff is both friendly and efficient so the waits are generally short.

Nice chill cafe with lots of sitting space. I went during a weekday afternoon and yet all the spots were taken. Found a spot to sit quietly and work in after much struggle. Otherwise, perfect place to go hangout or work. I noticed that this cafe is also frequented by a lot of students.

Food was delicious. Coffee was nice and strong. Lost our order waited almost an hour.

Love this place and a must stop when on the lake front. It's an old pumping station and is as beautiful on the inside as outside. Always busy and normally a line.

Plenty of outdoor seating that's perfect for people watching, car admiring, or just sitting back and reading your favorite book.

There is parking, but you may have to park at the marina across the street.

The cold brew shake is coffee blended in ice cream, #favorite.

Superior location! Great outdoor patio. Coffee with all the choices are available. Seasonal flavors are always changing! Breakfast sandwich choices, muffins, pastries are unique and are of high quality. Many Lunch choices, sandwiches are huge! The service is fast, do not let the lines fool you, it is worth the wait! You can purchase gifts, gift cards, coffee beans, other gift ideas for the holiday season. You can bring your pet as well. Great view of Lake Michigan come by soon!

Chicken Chipotle sandwich is amazing! A Milwaukee staple! Got to have Colectivo coffee and grab a bite to eat!

Forgot to post these in June, but I love this location esp on summer mornings. The Gay Pride flags, cookies and drinks are awesome 🌈

Beautiful day to enjoy the patio at Colectivo with a cold brew shake. Amazing and a great pick me up.

Very nice coffee shop on lakefront. The building still has the old pump that used to be the largest water pump in the world when it was built. Coffee tea and small bites are served here. Outdoor seating is also available. Pumpkin cranberry muffin is my favorite there.
