    During my morning walk I was craving for a bagel, It was around 7 am and being Monday most of the bakery places were closed. Thankfully I walked by Colectivo Coffee, they have many varieties of baked goods. I got the everything bagel and my boyfriend went for the Blueberry Goodness, we enjoyed the baked goods it was very delicious! Specially the blueberry muffin was amazing, it was packed with blueberries and every bite was perfectly balanced. We are definitely coming back to try their coffee and some of their sandwiches. The coffee shop is very spacious inside and they have outdoor seats. Very clean and cozy, definitely got a nice vibe. Staff were very friendly and offered great customer service!

    Did paid street parking. This coffee place is really spacious and has a really nice vibe. Love all the plants as well. The person at the counter was really sweet. I had a Cardamom Honey Latte and Orange Currant. My gf had coffee and a cookie. The snacks were just okay unfortunately. The coffee was decent.

    Cool layout, garage doors that can open, and lots of space to hang out with a laptop or a small group! Typical coffee place stuff with pastries, whole beans and cups/hats/mugs. Working on a liquor license with 4 or 5 different types of beer. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about the company. First day open and they talked to me about the company and plans between gaps in the line!

    Dynamic space, sweet and delicious coffee, one of the best breakfast burritos I’ve ever had, music is at perfect volume for good conversation or studying/work, and menu offered so many great options, I highly recommend over other coffee shops

    Fantastic coffee shop with an awesome terrace. Staff are nice and orders move quite fast. The sandwiches are good, and the coffee is high quality. My favorite part about this spot is their terrace - it's big, much of it shaded for sunny days, and it's just a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended that you come here, either to enjoy a chat with a friend or to get some reading done!

    Update: The hygiene standards have slipped. I was just in and ordered an oatmilk latte. I saw the barista insert the middle finger of her left hand into the cup she used to make my drink. When I asked her to make me another drink she agreed to, but explained that they "wash their hands" regularly. @$!#&! Well, I guess that means everything is fine. By her logic, she could also spit in the cup so long as she brushed her teeth after each meal and flossed each day! I was so happy with the service that I will insist they drop any food I order on the floor before serving me. Excellent coffee. I had an oatmilk latte there the other day that was the best I've had in a couple of years. The staff is super friendly. The decor is top notch. The lighting is good. The bathroom is clean. Skip Starbucks down the street. Kate made this, and she is very cool. 😎

    All the specialty drinks I have tried here have been lovely. Not too sweet. There is currently one with ginger and turmeric that has a kick to it. This place has lots of seating but it can fill up quickly. The decor is funky and tasteful. The have sparkling and still water on tap for customers. There are many options for snacks and food. A great spot in Andersonville!

    It makes me sad to give an average rating to what used to be one of my favorite neighborhood coffee shops. But the quality of this place has gone significantly down over time while the prices keep going up. The wifi is a crazy annoying and unreliable, food portions are getting ever smaller, it’s always either too hot or too cold inside and they keep relying on single-use cups even when you ask for a house mug. Don’t understand the need for so much waste!

    The interior design and atmosphere are the best things about this place. Wide open windows allowed us to eat and get caffeinated while watching the rain pour three feet from our seats. It was a beautiful sight but that was where the fun began and ended. It started with rude service. I knew what I wanted to order but my friend had questions about the iced drinks. The cashier was noticeably annoyed at this. Meanwhile two more baristas were goofing off behind her and eventually one noticed a patron waiting behind us and stepped in to help her. It was very unprofessional and unwelcoming. The coffee was mediocre, a bit on the sour side. I had a turkey club and it was very basic, served on bland white bread. I could have made it better at home. My friend had an egg and potato wrap/burrito and it was tastier but still unremarkable. The wrap came with a salsa that was actually delicious, so that was exciting at least. I would come back to sit in that window if it’s going to be raining again but there are waaaay better options in this area.

    I am so happy Colectivo is here. And it's likely been there for a long time but I just noticed so please forgive me. Like the other locations, they are quick and delicious. Their latte was so crazy delicious too. When you're used to the mermaid chain, and you taste Colectivo's version, your mind will change. I also had a breakfast sandwich on what I believe is their homemade English muffin which was truly delightful. I cannot say enough good things and hope to get back there soon.

    FREE. SELTZER. SPIGOT. If that wasn't enough, Colectivo has a great ambiance and vibe for conversation, small meetings, and personal work sessions. Solid food options, reliable WiFi, good A/C, gorgeous open-able wall windows, great shaded patio, friendly staff. I wish they were open a bit later, but it's good they're sticking to reasonable hours for its staff. 2 unisex single occupancy bathrooms that could really use an occupied/unoccupied indicator lock.

    I go here almost everyday. I'm very glad to have it. But it is busy. Gets crowded. Brewer coffee is hit or miss. Good in the morning. Not always in the afternoon. Food is fine. Bakes goods, some are good. It's a very useful coffee shop. Not an especially impressive one. I appreciate the funky vibe as long as it's not packed. I love it when they open the garage door windows in the summer.

    I like the amount of space they have in indoor and outdoor seatings. In multiple trips and my last visit, the employees were clearly at capacity: which makes sense, they often have over 15 people waiting in line for food and drinks. They keep the line moving fast but sometimes I wonder if they could staff so the employees can be less stressed.

    I always love the coffee and service here to begin with. A colleague left behind 2 smoothies this morning and I was fully prepared to buy them again. The crew today just remade them in no time. Thank you so much!

  • 3/5 Ruth K. 6 months ago on Google
    I like a lot about Collectivo in Andersonville: food choices are numerous and tasty, the spaces, including outside are comfortable, WiFi free and easy to access. The only problem is if you order any hot coffee drink in house (I rarely order cold coffee drinks), this place has by far the longest wait to get drinks of any cafe I’ve ever gone to. This has been true over many different days of the week, times of day, and busyness. Yesterday, a Saturday at 4:30 pm, no line, one oat milk latte, wait close to if not over 15 minutes. It’s just weird. So, make sure you have the time or order online ahead of time.

    Excellent, friendly service and delicious coffee and muffins. Lots of space both indoors and out to sit and relax. Very nice experience and I'll definitely be back!

    Nice service and great coffee. Good atmosphere to get work done. Much less busy than the Lincoln Park location.

    Well. There are many cool cafes around. I wanted to try here this time. I will not come back. The service there employees are I am sorry but something needs to check out to change. I ordered two coffees with my friend and a croissant. The cashier asked name for our coffee we both gave him our name. We waited our coffees first but just my friend coffee came. But later we found he just added one person name on our coffees. We both thought different same name persons coffee. And we had to find which is whose. The cashier kept chatting his coworkers. He was not interested in how our orders go. After we figured out our coffee we waited another time to get my croissant. Never comes. I went and asked when my croissant would come. He said “Oh, I am sorry. I didn’t give it you”. Then he didn’t even asked for warming the croissant. Just tossed it me. What? It was chocolate croissant. It supposed to be warm for nicely warm melted chocolate croissant. Very disappointed he is not interested in his job at all. He just asked me adding tips. For what? Since I started to discover cafes. This was the worst cafe so far. Never be back. I am sure this business is not intended in the customer service.

    This place has delicious coffee, and I recently learned they have great breakfast food as well! I would recommend the impossible burrito for a plant-based option. Definitely the best breakfast I've had from a grab-and-go place like this. And the coffee really can't be beat.

  • 4/5 Caroline B. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty OK. I like their drinks, food is mediocre at best. The person at the register always seems annoyed to take your order and you have to wait a crazy long time to get anything - they always forget the cold brew and I have to remind them every time. The layout is awkward/crowded at the pick up window. The reason I keep coming back is the drinks and ambiance. It has a great neighborhood feel.

  • 3/5 Krisheina R. 1 year ago on Google
    Only one person greeted me, and said someone will be right with you. And after taking my order (oatmeal), I had to wait 20 minutes for it. After seeing several people that ordered after me leave with coffee and sandwiches I finally asked the batista about my order. Then after waiting even longer, the same young lady went to check on my order. It was not tasty at all, dry and dense. The 3 stars is for the responsive young lady, I wish I had gotten her name.

  • 5/5 Jen J. 1 year ago on Google
    Near-excellent physical accessibility. Only lacks push-buttons to open doors. Doors are pretty light with good pull handles. No steps, counters low enough for wheelchair users, accessible all gender bathrooms with grab bars, space to move, and changing tables. Enough space to maneuver a wheelchair easily almost everywhere. Staff was friendly and the chai, breakfast sandwich, and sunshine bun were all delicious.

  • 5/5 Michael S. 1 year ago on Google
    The food and the coffee were good. The staff was friendly. I love that they are able to have outdoor seating when it is warm out. Will definitely visit again.

  • 5/5 Bianca Avram (. 2 years ago on Google
    My go to coffee shop! My favorite drink is their Windy Ci-tea paired with a pumpkin chocolate chip loaf. They got you covered on drinks food, snacks and dessert as well as amazing staff!

  • 5/5 Cyrus M. 2 years ago on Google
    The coffee and food are both pretty high quality. Prices are pretty reasonable for the area and considering recent inflation. The wait staff is friendly. The drawback is really only that it's usually pretty crowded, if only something to consider before visiting.

  • 5/5 Haley D. 2 years ago on Google
    I'd never been to this coffee shop before but I loved it! The space is really gorgeous and all the drinks were delicious. I had the latte which was great and the bacon egg sandwich - pretty good. I also tried the cinnamon roll, and while it wasn't my favorite, it was still good. It was definitely crowded most of the day, so if you want to sit down, you may need to wait a bit. Still, great spot.

    Drinks were unusual and delicious, as where the pastries. An employee named Monica helped me decide on a drink and pastry and it was 👍🏼👍🏼

    I was nervous going in after seeing another review stating they werent checking vaccine info of their customers staying inside. When i went in they did check my vaccine info and while i was sitting inside for about 30 minutes, i could hear them asking all the customers they were ringing up. Great coffee. It tasted fantastic and the cookie i got was delicious. I was nervous also since this was my first time going. The employee at the register was very helpful and nice. Made the process easy. The atmosphere with the music and plants was very pleasant.

    Very cute place. The line is always long here, so I guess everyone likes their coffee. I had been to Collectivo in Madison, and it was similarly fun and tasty.

    Good cold brew and they gave me a free ginger smoothie sample :) Such cute decor and cups as well I'll be back!!

  • 5/5 S S. 2 years ago on Google
    Genuine matcha made by the beautiful Barista,Matt, who truly knows how a matcha should look and taste. Kindly offered to show me the loose powder and an array of mixers . Was also impressed with the Toasts were well made and looked very tasty. Not easy to find table outside , but they seem to turn over reasonably quickly so its worth hanging around a waiting a bit. Pick-up area benches though usually available maybe frowned upon when used a table but the bench around the tree is up for grabs. 😉 Great team members that worked NSYNC and actually made eye contact with guests. Felt like I was back home in SF. Definitely will be returning with friends and family.

    Sometimes they are great, sometimes they are not. Could use a lot more consistency and update their menu on delivery apps.
