Bradbury's is one of those rare businesses that excels in a niche and doesn't try to expand into everything else. It's great. So Colectivo isn't really a direct competitor in that sense, and fills in pretty well. In short:\n\nPros: good coffee, bakery, atmosphere, plenty of outside seating\n\nCons: unbearably crowded at lunch rush and any event on the square, very unreliable / spotty internet access, loud music for a coffee shop\n\nFinally, I'm not sure what the reviewer talking about \"surly staff\" is on about. At JPL, sure. I refuse to go there because I am not myself a barrista and therefore feel unwelcome. Also, I don't want to spend $16 or whatever for a small coffee. But I don't feel any of that vibe at Colectivo...this is a friendly, open to all kind of place. And it serves excellent beer."^^ . "2013-09-24T00:00:00"^^ .
