   Read moreMy new absolute favorite coffee place! I travel the US for work and have tried countless coffee houses.... this one has it all! Perfectly balanced espresso blend!

We were heading out of town for a girls trip and stumbled upon The Coffee Collective, and Iâm so glad we did! Nestled in a charming downtown area, this spot not only boasts a cozy atmosphere but also has an incredibly friendly staff that makes you feel right at home.
The place was buzzing with activity, which is always a good sign, and after tasting the food and coffee, I completely understand why itâs so popular!
