We stopped at Colectivo Coffee to pick up a drink to go and ordered an unsweetened matcha latte with almond milk. It was grassy, smooth, and had zero bitterness. You could tell it was high quality matcha, it was just a little heavy on the milk. We wished it had slightly more matcha, but it was still good. The inside was really warm and inviting. The wooden seats didn't look that comfortable, but nobody seemed to mind, as it was pretty packed around noon on a Wednesday.

Awesome coffee shop! There Are a lot of coffee shops in the area that I wanted to try but Colectivo was so good I didn't try the others. Friendly staff and delicious coffee and food. Cool coffee shop vibes, it's big and windows everywhere to watch people.

This is hard to say cause I don't give 5/5 for coffee shops without a pour over. So getting a 5/5 is a real good rating for me since they don't have a pour over but they made up for it in other ways. They have normal Lattes and such but we got some specialty drinks and they were awesome. Both the Matcha and the coffee itself were great. They looked like they had awesome food. A nice smoothie as well. It looked like they had great food. Selling beans is a plus for someone like me. They also had a nice ambiance and a lot of seating (though it was packed). Definitely recommend!

Nice coffee house vibe! Ordering with person helpful and easy. Had:Matcha latte, pistachio matcha latte, bacon, egg, cheese croissant Croissant was very nice! Super flaky! Thick bacon, medium cooked, not crunchy, decent amount of egg. Enough cheese but not over powering or too much. Give it 5/5 The wait for drinks though.... 1 barista and this place was packed already. After a group of 10 behind me already got their drinks I asked about mine. Then seems they didn't ring it up? Hmm. Drink quality was very good though. Liked the pistachio the best. Nice crisp flavor, little sweet and could still taste the matcha just fine. Would have given 5/5 if didn't miss my 1 drink.

The cashier who took our order was very nice and gave recommendations. I typically enjoy matcha drinks, and I love pistachio, so I tried to pistachio matcha latte. It came out pretty quickly even though they were kinda busy, so I'm curious about how it's made. The drink is good at first and has a very strong pistachio flavor, but after a few sips, it starts to feel way too sweet. I ordered the smallest size and ended up only drinking half because it was so sweet.

A charming and cozy feeling cafe just across the street from our hotel. The rainy morning actually added to the magic and welcoming feeling of the coffee shop when walking in. We had two beautifully made Lattes along with an Almond Croissant and Pumpkin Cranberry Muffin. Those treats were enjoyed at a window side table, watching the rains fall on some tables and a lone bicycle outside. A real LoFi Chill music moment.
