As of Nov. 16, Mequon will have their very own Colectivo cafe.
The new cafe is located at 11205 Cedarburg Rd. and will feature a pocket park patio and Rumford style fireplace, along with interior details made with wood products from Wisconsin Urban Wood, a non-profit dedicated to utilizing wood from trees that would otherwise have gone to the chipper, firewood or the landfill.
The menu at the cafe will feature coffee and espresso drinks, Letterbox tea, scratch-baked pastries from Troubadoor Bakery, sandwiches and snacks and beer from Colectivo Keg Co.
The Mequon cafe is Colectivo's 13th in the greater Milwaukee area, and 16th in the state.
The cafe will be open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Lori is an avid cook whose accrual of condiments and spices is rivaled only by her cookbook collection. Her passion for the culinary industry was birthed while balancing A&W root beer mugs as a teenage carhop, fed by insatiable curiosity and fueled by the people whose stories entwine with each and every dish. She’s had the privilege of chronicling these tales via numerous media, including OnMilwaukee and in her book “Milwaukee Food.” Her work has garnered journalism awards from entities including the Milwaukee Press Club.
When she’s not eating, photographing food, writing or recording the FoodCrush podcast, you’ll find Lori seeking out adventures with her husband Paul, traveling, cooking, reading, learning, snuggling with her cats and looking for ways to make a difference.
