A coffee bar that knows how to have fun, looks classy, modern, you name it! Order from a few cereal brand flavors that you can’t get anywhere else. This place is well hidden in Lakewood, but you will feel like you stumbled upon an oasis of coffee goodness!

Just got the Reese’s Peanut butter cup latte and it is AMAZING! And the staff was extremely friendly. I said I was visiting from out of town and Gerry asked about where I was from and was very kind. First impression was a great one for this place!

I dont know if its just Lakewood chique, but its a very modest coffee place at best. Im a bigger fan of the options in Whittier. I got a seasonal Cascara drink that was pretty good but the overall vibes were not it fam.Area is a little ghetto and inside is quite loud. Theres a lack of seating too.Id say come to grab & go.Good drinks.Lackluster location.

Cool little coffee shop hiding out in a non descript mini mall. Cappuccino was first rate. Interesting decor.

Dope spot. Recently opened up. The owner was awesome. He came up to my sister and I asked us how everything tasted and how our experience went. Little gestures like this make a huge impact. It makes you feel welcomed, highly reccomend it. The baristas were also very kind. The drinks and the atmosphere were spot on 👌🏻

This was such a hidden gem and so so worth the drive from Whittier! I love their coffee it’s so unique and yet so simple. Who knew coffee and cereal and ent together? Genius use of oat milk to tie it all together. I will be coming back for sure

Deeelicious! Nestor helped me choose a warm latte...b/c my initial craving was the nutter butter but they only make it iced (next time!)... He recommended the Spanish latte, tastes like tres leches, or the Lucky Charms latte where they soak cereal and use the oatmilk. I went with the Spanish latte and I did not regret it!! Thanks, Nestor!!

Walking into Collaborative is like walking into an old friends house. I was immediately greeted and the barista talked to me like they’ve known me for years. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and was not disappointed. Somehow they have taken a drink that is usually very one dimensional and basic and they made it exciting. The espresso really is the star of the show and it is delicately complimented by the warm homey flavor of vanilla. I invite everyone to come and experience Collaborative for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

Attended the grand opening and I fell in love with the cold brew with oatmilk and vanilla. Great place for vegan options or lactose intolerant. Cant wait to stop by again, recommend if you like a good cup of coffee. They also had a hibiscus watermelon tea🤔

Good artisanal coffee shop cultivating a true community style coffee shop. Very friendly baristas and the owner is constantly around, truly cares about coffee. They have all kinds of wonderful coffee blends and do great lattes. Their Americano is one of the best in the area, in my opinion.

Customer service was cool, drinks didn’t taste strong enough, more on the milky side. They are always bringing in new drinks to keep things lively. Don’t forget to ask for a stamp card, your 10th drink is free. Their space looks hip and there is some room in and outdoors to sit. It’s a very instragrammable atmosphere. you could also find plants for sale. Breakfast burritos, vegetarian and bacon could be available for purchase. Parking is easy to find, no drive thru though.Things they can improve: make the drinks stronger. Host more events or pop ups. Promote your online ordering platform.
