Colectivo Coffee- On The Square

I have been here a few times and love it. I got a sugar free hazelnut latte with oat milk and it was so good. The pastries are delicious too!

All of Colectivo’s Madison shops are great, but in warmer months when the front room’s windows are open, this is my favorite. Iced lattes and smoothies are a go-to for sitting along the storefront and watching the hustle and bustle of the capital square.

Colectivo is a cute little coffee shop right on the edge of the Wisconsin state capitol, providing a variety of reasonably priced drinks and snacks in a friendly atmosphere. The staff were kind and polite, and we enjoyed the view of the capitol, sitting in the cool of the shop with our drinks.

Good selections, some unique. Nice space, including large front patio. Also, an unusual front sun-porch space that can be open air, but separated from main business by glass doors. When windows are open, this porch area feels like an indoor extension of the patio. Direct view of Capitol Building, too.

A nice coffee shop with a nice laid back atmosphere. But my opinion took a nosedive this morning. I made the mistake of ordering the OVERPRICED Famous Chorizo breakfast burrito. $7 for something the same size as a small microwave burrito. In a paper bag with 1 napkin. It was falling apart and the insides appeared to be either diarrhea or vomit. I was instantly both disgusted and offended so I got up and walked out.
