One of my go-to spots for caffeine as well as an exceedingly pleasant place to do a few hours of work. I love the bright and open design of this Colectivo - the large windows provide excellent views of the Square and the outdoor patio is the perfect place to have a morning coffee during the summer months. There is tons of seating here and since it's a decent walk from campus, I've never found it so crowded that I couldn't find a good seat. The Colectivo on State is nice as well but tends to get a little more packed so I prefer the Square location for more peace and quiet. It does get busy here too when there are big events happening on the Square - I made the mistake of coming during Ironman this past summer and it was super crowded and our breakfast burritos took a long time to get to us. It was to be expected though, considering the large crowd that Ironman draws + this Colectivo's prime location on the race course.
The baristas are always friendly, the drinks come out fast and hot, and the food is really yummy too. I've had the Falafel burger which was hearty but not too heavy and which came with a nice side of crispy potato chips. I've also had a couple of their burritos which were also tasty but a little on the small side considering the price. But still, if you're looking to get some work done or if you want to do some fun people watching, this is a great spot!
