I truly ABSOLUTELY love, Love, LOVE this place!!!!! BEST COLECTIVO IVE EVER BEEN TO! (I saved the best for last and 2nd best in the middle do youve gotta read all of this!!!) It has such a wonderful fun & friendly atmosphere to it. Tons of space for whatever your need are, whether just visiting, staying a while to work (alone or in a group - theres areas to find that are quiet where you wont be bothered & all the space you need), theres friendly people that come regularly, and will strike up a conversation if you want, outlets galore, of course free WiFi and great signal everywhere. Theres outdoor seating, indoor seating, & even more unique - 1/2 of the building has garage-like doors for walls - theyre all see through like a window, & even the weather is nice they open that half of the building up by lifting those garage-like walls up to create an open air space! Its so unique!! In there are couches, tables & chairs, counters with stools etc... Its great!!! I cant not forget to mention the great selection of drinks & food available as well! GREAT friendly employees too!! They also do a great job with supporting/promoting area fundraisers, helping local programs, and making sure people have plenty of space too put up small adds. Dont forget their rewards program as well. Now one of the best things for last, (In my opinion).... one thing that REALLY gets people looking at this Colectivo from off the street & distinguishes them, sets them apart from other places is this... All the way from the depths of winter to middle of summer is their HUGE outdoor gas FIRE PIT!!!! It its BIG!! So cozy, & so realistic, nice & warm when you need it, & So relaxing relaxing too for anytime of year! Great meditation tool, now I do love your "real" campfire with wood and all but it sure is nice to go relax and not come home smelling like smoke. :-) Its got tons of seating around it too, BIG long benches, four of them plus folks can even pull up a chair. Its just fun all around! GOTTA GO SEE IT & EXPERIENCE IT YOU WONT REGRET IT!

Collectivo Cafes have really exploded in the last couple years. I am from Milwaukee but only visit now once a year. Over the past couple years I have noticed Collectivo locations popping up everywhere. It must be a sign they are doing something right. This location is a prime example. They did a great job tucking it into a tight space in a great part of Tosa. It has one of the best designs for a restaurant/coffee shop that I have ever seen. There is a great outdoor space that has a large (and very hot) fire pit. There are garage doors that open so that the indoor space is practically outside on nice days. I cant speak to the quality of the coffee since I dont drink coffee but the food selections are really good for a coffee shop. This is a great coffee shop for the neighborhood and, along with Simmas and Balistreris, makes a great mini-downtown of Tosa.

There are many coffee shops around but this one is special. Most provide a variety of coffees and wifi which this Colectivo dos also. However, none of the others offers the ambiance that this place does. There is open seating outside and even a fire pit that burns during business hours. Inside there are two areas. One is set in the open where sales take place; there are several tables available (mostly people with laptops populate this area). The second (larger) area, is indoor seating and there is a lot of room. There are tables, couches and even an indoor fireplace. It is a nice place to meet, drink coffee and enjoy a good conversation.

If you are in search for that perfect cup of coffee. Well you are in luck. Colectivo coffee house serves a great cup of coffee with a warm smile. You will feel at home once you step inside. And if you dont care for coffee will youre in luck. Because they also serve smoothies and ice tea. And if you are looking for breakfast or lunch they got it nice and hot for you. They are located on the east side and north side of 68th street. I promise you the coffee is freaking awesome. And they even have a place where you can plug your phone or laptop and they have wifi. This place is great to have that 1st date.

Cozy. Warm. A spot for anything - working or reading on your own, meeting a friend or a larger group, or a grab-n-go. Love Colectivo, but this is an especially great location as far as their open seating areas. Only colectivo complaint: internet is hit or miss and you have to reconnect multiple times if you plan on staying 1+ hours (this comes from working at colectivos at least once/mo. over past 5+ years). My tip: turn your wifi off for a few seconds and simply turn it back on to start a fresh connection, when wifi slows. Annoying but works every time for me.

Love this place, but its always crowded and parking is hard to find. Colectivo had the best coffee, far superior to Starbucks. Their bakery runs circles around Startbucks. Their food is amazing, white bean chili with pumpkin OH MY DAWG! The breakfast burritos, outstanding! Inside, its very quaint with decent amount of sitting areas, and there is a fire pit with outside seating. A few hardy Wisconsinites love braving the cold out there! Wish there were Colectivos in KY!

Colectivo really has service and quality down to a science. The staff is exceptional here, like every Colectivo Ive patronized. I love their Toro espresso whole bean coffee. At this particular location they have a nice outdoor patio with gas fireplace. I often meet and talk to others there. This location also serves three different styles of their own beer here as well (Colectivo Keg Co.). My favorite being the One Tun Pale Ale.

Normally an awesome place but they are missing a huge customer service opportunity--when you walk in the front door you are greated with 2 road blocks: a sign that does not allow you to approach the cashier and does not clearly tell you where to go. The 2nd is a long table that you are required to walk around in order to get to the cashier that is only 5 feet away from you. They need to rearrange the traffic flow.

Fabulous place to sip coffee, have a meal or snack, and relax--either indoors or outside on the lovely and inviting patio. The fire pit is cozy and works to bring people together. The soup choices are often really excellent, and the range of bakery items available is just terrific (these are all so tasty as well). The staff members are always so friendly and helpful. I love this place.

One of the newer Colectivo (formerly Alterra) locations. Coffee, tea, bakery, smoothies, sandwiches, shakes, and beer(not at all locations). Variable seasonal interior. Out-front patio has a fire pit. Colectivo has a points reward card system, being a frequent visitor to their various locations, is nice. This can be one of their busier locations, may have to park on the street.

Indoor and outdoor fireplaces make this place extra cozy. Same menu options as the other Colectivo shops, with the addition of their beer selection. Three atmospheres including the the coffee shop inside, a garage type indoor/outdoor setting, and outdoor seating. Wait times really depend on the day and time. As far as Colectivos this one is higher on my list.
