Colectivo State Street

The workers here really are the full package—consistently offering quick and friendly service paired with great drinks and food. Amelia helped me the last time I came in. I’m an infrequent coffee drinker and was only picking something up for my girlfriend, and after explaining that I truly had no idea how to order something she would like, Amelia put together a drink that my girlfriend loved and I found delicious. She also made a lemonade for me. I’ve been coming here for a few years just for the baked goods and food, but I might find myself a coffee enthusiast before long if the drinks are always this good!

Always a coffee shop that I visit whenever I’m in Madison, Wisconsin. They have some very tasty seasonal drinks, as well as a solid espresso pull and amazing pour over coffee. This location is always a bit busier than some of the others I feel due to its location, but it’s still worth dropping in for a visit.

I often come to this location to work on email when I'm in downtown Madison. Besides the coffee, they have excellent sandwiches and other food. The only issue that I have is that a lot of the girls that work here are horrible at their jobs. Only here do I get served iced coffee in a mug, and my food order either wrong or with stuff missing or both. They make Penny from The Big Bang Theory look like a the best waitress ever. Other than that, it's a good place to get some remote work done over coffee and some food. Just double check your order.
