Alterra Coffee Roasters Milwaukee

This coffeehouse is one of several gourmet coffee and food emporiums in the Milwaukee area. They are really the only coffee shops that I go to. They have many many varieties of Coffees from around the world. Beans and coffee are of higher quality than most coffee shops. This particular coffee shop on Prospect Avenue in Milwaukee has a very large seating area in the main room, and the multilevel side seating room. During warmer weather, the side room is open to the air and there is also outside seating as well. One of the great things about these coffee shops is that they are adequately staffed, meaning that you can usually find at least 5 or 6 people working behind the counter at any given time. They also have a good food service. There is a concert hall in the back area that is open when they have live entertainment. The large staff also ensures that the coffee shop is immaculately clean, both inside and out. The staff is friendly and helpful. The clientele is everybody and that really helps too. I myself am very picky about the coffee shops that I go to and also the coffee that I drink. Cheap coffee has negative effects upon my body, and these coffee shops do not even deal with cheap coffee. It's all high-quality. I have been going to Their different coffee shops for years and I am very uncomfortable drinking coffee anywhere else, or getting my coffee anywhere else, As they have a very wide selections of bags of coffees to go. I cannot recommend these coffee shops highly enough. Why settle for less?

The original Alterra Roastery/cafe, now Colectivo. Still one of my favorites. Great coffee and food! And now live music in the “Back Room”!
