I fell in love with Colectivo when it was still Alterra. Their drinks and baked goods are to die for, and I'm confident to say that out of all the other coffee shops downtown/on State St, Colectivo makes the best-tasting coffee for the price. It's a little on the expensive side, but I don't mind paying that much for good coffee. There's plenty of seating space (indoor and right outside) and I love how they open the facade windows during the summer.
All that being said, there's two things that Colective can work on. First is the lack of internet on Saturday-Sundays. I didn't know shutting off online access was even a thing for coffee shops, especially one in a college town. I understand that bandwith is expensive, it's just annoying because I love how removed it is from campus. I like being able to do schoolwork ithout stupid sorority girls babling all day (looking at you Starbucks), but I need internet. Lastly is the lack of outlets, which is a problem in all coffee shops I think.
All in all, I still love Colectivo but I'm probably not going there during the weekends, unless I just wanna chill and drink coffee.
