    Accidentally ran into this spot and we loved it! Amazing coffee, interesting juice options and their breakfast options seemed good also. They have a pet friendly, covered patio (guess it would be heated also) and they have an outdoor patio with fire pit. I would definitely recommend this place. Coffee lovers might wanna check out their pour over options.

    Very pleased I went here instead of the Starbucks right across the street! I had a standard brewed coffee. It tasted fresh and was served hot. Great selection of fresh pastry as well. Indoor seating area was relaxing - loved the exposed wood and lights.

    My new favorite coffee spot!! Love this place!! Great outdoor seating area and fireplace. Pastries, coffee and bagels are so good. Wish I had one closer to where I lived, would come all the time.

    We always wanted to try this place every time we walked by in this area because it has an inviting patio and it seems nice. We'll the patio was nice but Not the people that works here. They were Rude!!!! I will give my business somewhere else. Came here at around 5:45 PM yesterday. The almond croissants we ordered was a little hard (the cashier didn't heat it up.) Then we ordered our drinks. While waiting for our drinks we got a table outside looking forward to enjoy our snack in that patio. There are 12 to 15 people that was seating outside. Then we got our drinks around 5:55PM. While sipping on our drink, and had a couple of bites in that delicious but hard croissant, the Female Staff Shouted, (to us and to the people in the patio that was also still eating and finishing their drinks) - "OkAY, WE ARE CLOSED NOW SO EVERYONE HAS TO LEAVE THE PATIO AREA!!!" While she just poked her head out to shout at us, didnt get out of the door then she closed the glass door while looking at our direction! It was on 5:57PM! We didn't get to enjoy our drinks and that croissant and It was very rude how they did it! 1. First of all, we weren't informed that they will close soon. They should have told us that while we are ordering!! 2. Secondly, they shouted at us like we were bunch of squatters! Professionals, Classy, and Normal people that works in a Cafe or restaurants usually says it in a polite or nicer way and NOT SHOUTING at your customers that just ordered food and drinks. 3. They closed 3 mins early before the time they supposed to close (6:00PM). 4. Not even a grace period of 10 mins after closing for the customers that just ordered to enjoy their food and drinks. If you are rude like that, atleast inform the customers that you will about to close earlier than your closing time.

    Wonderful place with great coffee and baked stuff like muffins and scones. They have a fantastic terrace, partly shaded for hot sunny days. Staff were very nice. It seems to be owned by a Mexican company because that was the “style” I noticed - in a cool way, not gimmicky. Great place to stay for a while with an iPad or do some light work. Been twice there this past week, I’ll definitely return!

    The staff is always very friendly.... You have the option to sit either inside or out. And the mood is really layed back. They also sell interesting bites and merchandise.

    A pleasant experience to say the least. I got an espresso and mocha scone.The scone is a must try and espresso wasn't bad either. Spent a little bit over $7 altogether. The outdoor seating is my favorite with lots of space for spreading out. Staff were delightful to have me. Place is is worthy of checking out.

    I'm staying at the hostel around the corner and have been coming here daily. The coffee is fantastic and the staff are nice. Service isn't the fastest, but there is plenty of nice patio area to wait in.

    This is a great outdoor work/study spot since there's: 1) plenty of patio seating 2) power boxes / outlets along the perimeter of the patio, and likely inside as well 3) diverse selection of food and drinks The service was also friendly and efficient. Because of these things, I think this is my favorite cafe in Chicago.

    Yum!! I can’t attest to the coffee — I had their seasonal hibiscus spritz which was mostly La Croix, lol — but the vibes of this place are fantastic. You can work here, you can chat, you can read, etc etc. Great place to be alone or to gather!

  • 5/5 Sunny D. 1 year ago on Google
    I love Colectivo Coffee Lincoln Park. They have great outdoor space, plenty of seating, a fire pit and heated, somewhat open tent space. The food is excellent, drinks are great. My favorites are the veggie pesto burrito, blueberry muffins, and the cowboy cookie! The only issue is there is often a wait for the washroom and they should install a sink outside of the washrooms for hand washing, like some of their other locations do. Overall, though, this place is great during all seasons, and the crew they have working there is really nice. Great service, kind people.

  • 5/5 Manisha B. 1 year ago on Google
    A wonderful coffee place with an amazing vibe. We got the speciality drinks, cardamon honey latte and pistachio matcha cafe-,soo flavourful. Sufficient seating area.

  • 4/5 Jeff C. 6 months ago on Google
    Very busy place on weekend mornings. Lots of outdoor seating, which is nice. The specialty lattes are EXTREMELY sweet. Would recommend asking for "less sweet/syrup." Otherwise it's pretty good. The larges have 3 shots of espresso included in the price.

  • 5/5 L G. 11 months ago on Google
    my favorite coffee shop in lincoln park!! amazing drinks and food, with lots of choices (many of which are vegetarian). perfect atmosphere for working or chilling, heated outdoor seating, and incredible music selections by whomever is on aux🙌

  • 5/5 Brian T. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good coffee. I got the brewed coffee & really liked it. My wife got their version of a Carmel Macchiato and 8t was good, but a bit on the sweet side.

  • 5/5 V T. 8 months ago on Google
    Fab place! Love the vibe Great coffee options ( tried cardamom chai latte! Perfect taste! Highly recommend it)

  • 5/5 Andrew W. 7 months ago on Google
    Second best coffee on the north side (sorry, gotta give it up to Dark Matter on this), but still an incredible cup of joe. Great patio to get some work done when the weather permits. Also a perfect place to go if you are missing Milwaukee just a bit!

  • 5/5 Kae Y. 5 months ago on Google
    Wonderful place to grab a cup of coffee, sit on the chair and enjoy the Sun in the Chicago neighborhood. Offering great selection of coffee drinks and other beverages and some light baked goods and foods.

  • 2/5 Mikaela L. 9 months ago on Google
    I was so excited to try this place out! Such a bummer the food is overpriced for what it is. I gave this rating 2 stars based on how wonderful the staff is and the delicious windy CI-Tea was. I recommend this place if you’re looking for a good vibe and sit with JUST a coffee and pastry. The breakfast is not worth it. English muffin breakfast was absolutely so hard to even touch. Egg was over salted. Nothing special and you could probably make a better English muffin breakfast at home. Baja bowl was less than mediocre. Rice was clumpy and the only thing with flavor was the salsa.

  • 4/5 Grace L. 4 months ago on Google
    they offer a diverse selection of roasted beans displayed on the shelf so I picked some and placed an online order. looking forward to discovering my fav notes soon. Also, enjoyed a tasty honey oat latte during my visit with outdoor seating. people chatting, using computer, or simply sitting there sipping.

  • 4/5 Elizabeth 4 months ago on Google
    Great coffee and food. Lovely atmosphere with options for all seasons. Not a fan of the birds that find there way into the covered patio.. Have had one experience with a worker who seemed like she'd rather be anywhere else, but her coworkers took notice and were all very kind.

  • 4/5 emmie m. 3 months ago on Google New
    Definitely great coffee and pastry. There’s not much of an atmosphere other than there’s a cute fireplace outside. It’s a cute and colorful cafe.

  • 5/5 cactupi 1 year ago on Google
    Such a cute place! Perfect spot to go to sit down and relax for a while on a nice day. Theres no seating inside its all outside on the patio but it's so beautiful and comfortable. I went around 1pm and it was full of people working on laptops, talking with friends and just enjoying the day. The cashiers and baristas were incredibly friendly. I ordered the cold brew-chata and asked if they could make it as an iced latte and they did without any issue. I also got the lavender lemon scone and it was amazing ! Such a nice place to go to and definitely better than the Starbucks across the street. They also sell coffees and teas. Only downside is that there's no place to charge laptops outside so keep that in mind if you want to do some work.

  • 5/5 Justine L. 1 year ago on Google
    A great place to either study or to meet your friends ! A large choice of drinks and foods are available. It tastes really good and the atmosphere is so pleasant ! The patio is so great when the sun is out ! Also, wifi is available

  • 5/5 Lexi S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great coffee shop. I enjoy the unique drinks that I don’t see at other shops, in particular the dark chocolate cold brew frappe. Really friendly employees, just expect to wait a while because it’s a bit slow. I typically order online and show up about 10 mins later to pick up. Totally worth checking this place out.

  • 5/5 Douglas W. 2 years ago on Google
    A great coffee shop! They have a wide selection of teas and coffee that will fit any pallet. The vibe is laid back and friendly. It's a great place for a good conversation over great beverages.

  • 4/5 Brian S. 2 years ago on Google
    Quite pricey, the coffee and food are nothing special. You’re paying for the atmosphere and location, which are good. Be prepared to wait a while if you ordered anything other than black coffee.

  • 5/5 Maddie R. 2 years ago on Google
    The most popular cafe in the neighborhood for good reason. Love the Chorizo breakfast burrito and a mocha:) The app is great if you’re not sitting in and has good reward points. If you’re looking to sit on a weekend and get some work done or hang out, it’s a good idea to get there before 10-10:30 am.

  • 5/5 Bonnie H. 2 years ago on Google
    I just want to return to this coffee shop again and again! I enjoyed the flavor and atmosphere of their coffee because it was so relaxing. Their employees were both knowledgeable and courteous. I would really recommend your coffee shop to all of my friends in our neighborhood. Thank you very much for your generosity, gentlemen!

  • 5/5 My H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great coffee and amazing staff

  • 5/5 Parris S. 2 years ago on Google
    I was astounded by the service they provided last Friday afternoon. All was in order, and the staff was extremely humble and respectful. They also made certain that we had everything we needed. Thank you so much! I'm writing this review because I want more people to know about you! OUTSTANDING service in town!

  • 5/5 Nick W. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best coffee shops in Chicago (despite being founded in Milwaukee). There isn't a weakness in their menu offering, coffee, or atmosphere. Their pastries are supreme. The coffee is awesome too. I recommend taking home a bag of it when you leave. They have so many coffee offerings that will appease all kinds of palates.

  • 5/5 Marina B. 2 years ago on Google
    Convenient location in town with big patio and their big choice of coffee! There is an outdoor and indoor sitting.

  • 5/5 philip w. 2 years ago on Google
    plenty of outdoor sitting. fast friendly staffs

  • 5/5 Katie B. 2 years ago on Google
    A fun local spot with interesting coffee beverages and bakery items. I think their specialty coffee drinks are too sweet so be sure to adjust to your liking! Will go back often.
