Tried 5 different coffee shops around Chicago and this was probably the best. Very vegan friendly. Lots of food and drinks options. So glad we came here. Very big outdoor seating area. Near the greeting from Chicago mural

Terrible hours. I used to come here in the evenings to get a coffee and a snack and do work. In Milwaukee it was my go-to late night spot to study in college. The people that work here are cool but the hours are terrible. There were always a lot of people here in the evenings.

Last Friday afternoon, I tried your coffee and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor, which made me want to order it again and again. Their employees were also extremely courteous and competent. I am able to talk freely with them. What a pleasant city service! This coffee shop will undoubtedly be visited again and again!

Good coffee and the outdoor seating area was nice. 4 stars because it seems every parent in Logan brings their dumb kids here

I’m new to the neighborhood and wasn’t sure what to expect. Seating space was excellent! Sat for a couple hours and got a bunch of work done. Ordered the iced lavender green tea (lightly sweetened) and I loved it. Would totally order it again. I’m looking forward to returning to try one of their baked goods. Last thought - I was also really impressed that the barista learned my name on my first visit there.

Collectivo does not recycle, unlike Starbucks or almost any other decent coffeehouse.Endless plastic cups going into landfill or the ocean. Absolutely disgraceful really.

Eclectic Coffee house -small chain from Wisconsin. Interesting eats, great bakery items and a variety of lunch and breakfast sandwiches. Nice outdoor patio with a giant firepit. This a great place to work out of four freelancers.

Delicious food, clean space, friendly staff that know their stuff, brews on tap and spot by the fire pit on a chilly day if you’re into that type of thing. Otherwise grab a bar stool and people watch while you catch up with a mate over a bite of something tasty.

The mocha drink I had was really good as as the kids cheese melt. Only reason I gave 2 stars is because there were bugs crawling all over the baked goods in the glass case.

As coffee lovers my SO and I enjoys coffee hopping around the city and Colectivo coffee has been one of our favorite spots.. We got a B1G1 for pastry together with our coffee which we enjoyed the place had a eclectic and family uniqueness to it giving it the Colectivo feel. This a great spot to just get good coffee and have quite time/ conversation.

Review №13

Interesting eclectic neighborhood. Somewhat sterile looking building that they’ve nicely built in. Good service. Lots of local customers. The coffee is over roasted: Peet’s style versus third wave.

Best blueberry muffin this side of the old Mississippi!

Review №15

Definitely has the vibe of being able to kick back and relax. The coffee is strong and I feel wired after going through half of my drink. The Mocha Mexicana is definitely a odd drink in that its spicy throughout the entire drink. Definitely unique.

Nice shop, decent mocha. We had a good pretzel and a good stout beer too. Cheers 🍻

My 6 year old daughter and I have been here twice now and we will keep coming back! Each time the staff has been personable and oh so pleasant. The atmosphere is just the right mix of energy and calm! The food is delightful, weve tried the bowls, smoothies, and coffee.

This place has great staff and many menu optionsThe portion sizes are quite small. Pictured is the baja bowl, tasty but not quite filling. The turmeric chai latte was too sweet for me but the other day I got an iced dirty chai and it was spectacular. The atmosphere here is really fun and I do recommend this as a spot to catch up with a friend.

Review №22

This place has a nice vibe and atmosphere- its unfortunate, I was advised the maximum time allowed eating in is one hour. I had the Bacon, Egg and Cheese English muffin and it was fantastic! I also had a black coffee, which was a little disappointing to drink considering all the sugar was sitting at the bottom of the cup. Overall, this place was aesthetically pleasing and the staff were friendly- Id definitely love to see a little more variety in terms of menu options!

I used to live in Milwaukee and go to Colectivo all the time. I was thrilled to see one in Chicago now that Ive moved! The quality is always top notch, staff is always friendly. The coffee is delicious, and the seasonal choices are stellar. I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast sandwich. If you are in Login Square you should definitely stop in.

Coffee is good, but wait is like 20 minutes on a Friday at 9am. Only 1 person making coffees. Need more staff.

Great service and great quality! Truly my favorite Chain coffee (Milwaukee, Maddison, and Chicago). My order is a Dirty Masala Chai Latte and a pumpkin Cranberry muffin. Their coffees are amazing as well. We love the Co-Optiva.

Review №26

This coffee shop was suggested by a friend from college whose son goes to school in the city. Were so happy she did it. A specialty coffee and either biscotti or a cookie were enjoyed by each of us. We are impressed at how well their order pickup process works and not much waiting space, but the crowdedness is a sign of their successful business. Were probably going back here!

Review №27

Super cute indoors and out, and all the staff took excellent covid protections. They have beautiful handmade baked goods and a vegan/gluten free mint chocolate chip cookie sandwich when i visited, which was delicious (lol and ate before i could get a photo 😂). Awesome spot for classic coffee and fun tea drinks that taste way better than Starbucks.

Food and coffee are pretty good, but they won’t take pick-up orders over the phone - I was told to download the app. I’m from out of town and don’t want to use data to download an app that I will use once.

My favorite Wisconsin coffeehouse finally comes to Logan Square! Finally stopped in at 1030 on a Saturday morning. They were busy but not crowded. There seemed to be 5 or 6 baristas that were scrambling to keep up with orders. There was a pile up of people and waiting drinks at the pick-up. They misplaced my friends coffee for 11 minutes.Despite the wait, the drinks were delicious. A black and tan pour over was great, despite being cool from sitting out on the counter for 10 minutes. The marsala chai was fantastic.Come for the good coffee, not fast or efficient service.

Review №38

I really love this place, mainly because of the aesthetic and outdoor seating. Wooden loveseats and solid stones surround a fireplace that stays lit day and night.Good amount of indoor seating for 1-4 people, anything beyond that I would recommend moving outside to laze around. The table and chair height is just right, something most cafes seem to struggle with. Makes for a great study environment.Service was friendly and informative, of course. I just got the ice coffee and cranberry pumpkin muffin, but am definitely going to return to try out their food items.

I love this place. It is affordable (wouldnt say cheap because its good quality), they have great service and awesome coffee and pastries. The coffee mugs they sell are awesome. So many great things. They have an awesome fire outside when it gets cold ( Picture included) as well. Cant go wrong with this Coffee Shop.

This places spicy masala chai always BLOWS ME AWAY it’s so spicy and tasty if you’re into that. Today I tried the vegetarian pesto burrito and it had lots of broccoli and cheese which I was a fan of. Thank you for always making the drinks just right!!PS the horchata cold brew is also incredible

Review №41

Good food and drinks and super convenient for me but I have cognitive dissonance when I spend money here due to the politics of the owners of this company. Sounds like they are trying to block their employees from forming a union, too. Would rather support small businesses.

An eclectic spot right off the California Blue Line. Collectivo serves breakfast all day and has an amazing lunch menu as well. They have all sorts of coffee drinks including Matcha Latte (pictured) and several Pour Over options. The staff is very helpful, and is always ready to answer questions, and dont make you feel like a rookie when asking. I went to Collectivo once, on a Saturday and now go at least 5 times a week.

Delicious options with wonderful pup-loving staff! This is our neighborhood go-to to take a stroll with our pup and grab a coffee. Staff is knowledgeable and kind. They also have great food options whether your feeling like staying on the healthy side or need something to cure your hangover.Comfy atmosphere to do work or meet with friends. Love this place!

Food is great but coffee is too expensive for such a small size.It’s a hit or mit with service. After purchasing a pastry they didn’t offer to heat it up. I went back to my seat and within a minute of purchasing and without taking a bite, I came back to ask them to heat it up and they told me it would be a health violation since I had already taken it. I would’ve appreciated if they asked to heat it up first........

My every morning stop while in Chicago. Just a short ride on the L, jump off at California and enjoy an amazing cup of coffee (or tea if thats your thing). The food and pastries are outstanding as well. A must stop while visiting the Great city of Chicago.

Wonderful atmosphere, spacious indoor seating and lots of patio seating. Street parking but I have always been able to snag a spot without an issue. Friendly staff. 4 stars for pricey food for small portions. Coffee is good, but not my preference. What I do recommend is the matcha latte with lavender syrup! Its subtle and sweet, love it!

Milwaukee chain for coffee, pastries, breakfast and sandwiches. Decent coffee. Cool outdoor space. Friendly staff. Beer on tap.Seating can be tough as it quickly fills up with laptop warriors/campers from the glass boxes in the sky that surround this location.

The coffee and everything bagels were very good, and the prices were very reasonable, but the only seating was outside and--surprise, surprise--it was rather windy, so keeping things from blowing away was a distracting challenge.

Grabbed coffee here a couple of times. The coffee of the day was really good but the Americani suffered from too much water to espresso, which is a common problem with most places that serves Americanos. They also have their own beer, which Im going to have to try one of these days.

Collectivo is one of Chicago’s most underrated coffee shops. Sure, it’s a part of a chain but they’re bartenders are knowledgeable. They are throwing great ‘spro and make a mean breakfast burrito. I love it most during summer time but also a very productive late morning spot for those people who want to work remote.

I made the mistake of going to the Dunkin Donuts next door (I’m keto, so I asked for sugar free options and was given what they called “mocha” flavor; spoiler, it tasted like butt), but the manager at Colectivo offered to “fix” my coffee - for free - by adding some of their own sugar free syrup. I was so pleased that I bought a flourless cookie from them. Excellent coffee shop with great employees!
