I've been coming to Colectivo ever since it opened in Madison. I definitely fell more in love with the space than anything else the first time I came here. I pretty much go for an iced coffee or iced chai, and if I want something non caffeinated I go for one of their smoothies! I have to say I adooooore their hot chocolate too but I have a feeling that it is unabashedly full of cream and sugar and chocolate so I try to my keep my hot chocolate consumption to a minimum. I love hanging out here whenever I just want to chill and read some articles, sketch, or have some me time. It's also a great space to have quick impromptu meetings. They never play their music too loud and the patio is fantastically spacious when it's not too humid out. The indoor space with the French windows that open up is probably my favorite since you get the outdoor breeze without it being overwhelming. The service is prompt and polite but I'm not a huge fan of the food I've tried. It's mostly average to above average coffee shop food to me, but good enough when you need something to eat.
Overall I have to say that Colectivo is a pretty regular stop for me and I don't see that changing much in the future.
