Another day at the Coffee shop. Here to try new tea. This time Ginger Rising Hot Tea and Smoke White Chocolate Mocha. Great time to be alive drinking Colectivo Coffee.

Coffee drinks and hot chocolate are phenomenal. I had black coffee and a cappuccino and my wife had a caramel latte and a hot chocolate over two visits. The service was on the slow side for the drinks except for the black coffee. That didn’t bother me and was more a matter of the number of drinks the barista had to make. On my second visit, on a Sunday morning, something blew me away. I was waiting for my drink and there was only one barista. He was doing online orders as well as in store for people in line. He was calm and personable, pleasantly engaging customers. I could see where someone would feel and show a high degree of stress in that situation. There was a woman who I guess was waiting a particularly long time; I’m not sure why. When then barista gave her her drinks, he apologized for the exceptionally long wait, saying “you’ve been so patient. I’m really sorry for the long wait. Why don’t you pick something out of the [baked goods] case?” She politely declined the offer of a free item and began to walk away. The barista said “Are you sure? You were SO patient.” She looked the case, smiled a massive smile and picked something. That’s what I call exceptional service. The barista didn’t have to do anything. She was not crabby or complaining about the wait. But he went above and beyond to delight a customer. (The barista in the photo is the guy I’m talking about.) I went 4 stars for atmosphere because although it’s cool and industrial, it was freezing cold in there

I stopped here because a local told me to. And so glad I did! Not your average hipster coffee shop of subway tile and plants- so much more!! Loved their custom swag and food options. I got a smoothie and was worried that it would be too sweet, but it was 10/10.

NITRO POWER!!!! What an awesome coffee shop. I was in town for a concert. Stopped in for an afternoon coffee. WOW. Such beautiful design, decor was original design with some upbeat flavor to it. Many flavors of coffees along with sizes. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is just as beautiful as the inside. Definitely worth a stop.
