Decided to come here for lunch and coffee on my 30-minute break, worst mistake I could've made.

As an ex-Starbucks shift manager, what I saw was absolutely appalling. The woman on bar went in between straight up ignoring drinks and talking with her other employees. Particularly bad here was who I assume was her supervisor, someone with a distinctive man-bun (as I don't know his name), who consistently talked and gossiped with her, distracting her from her job, while drink orders piled up.

There were seven other customers waiting in the cafe. Several left without grabbing their drinks, as they had to wait so long. One man came up to the barista and complained, as he had been waiting longer than I had. She still didn't get the hint and kept moving incredibly slowly. Over the half hour (my drink order was printed at 4:43 pm, I received it at 5:05 pm) I watched the woman on bar produce a total of 8 drinks.

Again, as someone from Starbucks, the typical barista with more than a few weeks training can produce 8 drinks in less than three minutes. There's absolutely no reason why she should be taking so long. It is completely unacceptable and unprofessional to be distracting a barista while her drink orders are piling up, and refusing to reprimand her for taking too long.

This was one of the worst experiences I've had at Colectivo, and am certain it was just that crew of employees. However, this makes me really hesitant to come back, as I had to scarf down my sandwich with less than a minute before I had to be back at work for my shift.

Thank you for your disgraceful disregard of customers' convenience and time. With employees like this, I seriously wonder how you remain...

The drinks were fine but the workers had no respect for our time. My cousins and I all order our drinks one after another and while myself and my cousins got our coffees in around 15 minutes, we had to WAIT 45 MINUTES for our other cousins smoothie. After about 20 min of waiting we asked about the drink to a short girl worker with a ponytail about it VERY POLITELY and she basically brushed us off. So we wait 20 min longer then go up to the cashier girl and asked about it again. This worker was ver kind and took our question seriously unlike the previous worker we asked. The wort part is that the ride pony tail girl we asked LITERALLY HID IN THE BACK so that she maybe wouldn’t get in trouble, while the cashier took care of the drink and afterwards offered my cousin a free pastry. People who ordered a smoothie before us were also complaining about how long their drink took, asking them for a refund. It was just all such a waste of time and money especially because we tipped them before hand. Will not be coming back here again! Dont waste your time on people who don’t respect your time! You are so unprofessional and I hope there will be consequences I wish we would’ve gotten her name so we could have put her on blast. But thank you to that sweet cashier who was the only one who was actually caring about the customers unlike the rest of the employees there. Some of them were so condescending as if customer service isn’t their job. Do better don’t...
