I am so happy Colectivo is here. And its 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 youre used to the mermaid chain, and you taste Colectivos 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 wasnt 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 its good theyre sticking to reasonable hours for its staff. 2 unisex single occupancy bathrooms that could really use an occupied/unoccupied indicator lock.
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.
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!
Sometimes they are great, sometimes they are not. Could use a lot more consistency and update their menu on delivery apps.
I had a great experience and enjoyed some delicious coffee. I recommend the Southwestern breakfast burrito!
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.
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!
Enjoy the ambiance of this particular cafe. Staff is always friendly, ample seating outside of COVID, and food is tasty. Major drawbacks are bang for your buck and overall quality of the coffee. Not going to be the best coffee you have ever tasted and quite overpriced (a small burrito for $7-8 with tax and no side). Great place to meet people though!
Awesome place. The cold brew shake was so good.
The staff member at the front counter was very nice! Plus, the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich and cold brew was great. One of my favorite places now!
Just a great, large coffee shop in Andersonville. The burritos are pretty great too.
Jayla was so sweet and helpful when I was buying my coffee today. She also had so many sweet things to say and it’s so nice to talk to people like that (especially during these covid times). She’s the sweet one with the “Libra” necklace if you’re ever in there. Place was clean and Jayla makes a wonderful oat milk latte. Thank you guys! Please stay safe 🤍
Mark provided me an awesome cold brew with oatmilk : perfectly poured ! Such a cool spot to sit productively (or not) in Andersonville... see you again soon
A great selection of coffee, food items and sparkling water on tap.The outdoor seating has shady areas.
The people here are so fantastic and helpful! They always greet me with a smile and the drinks are incredible. Hands down one of my favorite coffee places on Clark!
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.
Solid coffee, decent food, probably should have stayed in Milwaukee
The cortadito was divine! Thank you, Colectivo Coffee.
Great tasting oat caramel iced latte
The place is great. Good pastries and really nice people. Only thing is that Ive ordered 2 different coffee beverages, a ginger based one and a mexican chocolate based one. Both were really strong in the spices they put in. Took the comfort right out of the drink. Would come back again.
I recommend the Chai latte
Great breakfast, lunch and soup items. Vegetarian selections. Pastries are delicious! Inside/outside diningBest of all... THE STAFF!!!!! Just love this place
Love the coffee ☕ and the muffins are amazing. Awesome staff. Plus my Mom loves this place.
Absolutely the best Java in Chicagoland!
Fast service and great food and drinks
The staff is amazing! So friendly, cheerful and helpful. I will come here again and again. The food and drinks are consistently good and the baristas are definitely good people who provide great customer service! Don’t miss this spot! Outdoor seating is another perk!
My new favorite place!
One of the shops I’ll go to when I want someplace outside and with a feel of quaint with good coffee.
The best customer service I’ve had at a cafe during the pandemic. Very friendly and lightly conversational— which is so refreshing nowadays. Highly recommend their muffins and anything with the lavender syrup!
My first experience was very pleasant thanks to Jayla! Delicious drinks and warm environment. Will definitely be back!
Coffee is fantastic here and the people have been kind every time I have been here! The shake is expensive but it is so good. Good spot in Andersonville
Excellent and tasty veggie options
Great coffee and tea with a friendly atmosphere, Colectivo is worth a stop-in if youre strolling around Andersonville.
Like this shop; however, today was not a good day for them. It took over 10 minutes to get an iced coffee!!
Great friendly service. Love their cappuccino. Very good at social distancing whike waiting to pick up your order.
Great new addition to Chicagos andersonville coffee scean super polite staff
I love Colectivo coffee, but this location needs some work. My wife, my son, and I just stopped in. I went to buy some bags of coffee for some late Xmas gifts. I ended up purchasing 5 bags in total. My wife and I also each got a coffee. My wife got a small “Snow day”, which was good and I got a medium “Gaia” Pour over. The pour over tasted mostly of paper from the filter and the drink itself was luke warm. I know that pour overs are sometimes brewed at lesser temperature, but this was extreme. I asked for a house cup for a replacement. I wish they would have prompted me to brew it again, but properly, especially since pour overs are more expensive. I’m guessing the filter was not thoroughly rinsed before brewing and the brewing vessel was cold. This is not the quality I have come to expect from Colectivo, which has normally exceeded my expectations. My wife also noticed that the garbage can in the bathroom was overflowing, paper on the floor, and the toilet paper was placed on top of the dispenser rather than in the holder. I could excuse this if this was during the morning rush or something, but we came late in the evening and they should have had plenty of time to maintain the bathroom. I hope Colectivo concentrate on maintaining quality and service before they decide to expand again. They could be seriously damaging their brand at the cost of growth.5425 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60640
I like this place a lot. Very cozy and cute with a wide variety of coffee drinks to choose from. It was pretty busy when I went even on a weekday, so it may not be the best place to go to get some work done, but definitely a great place to meet up with friends. The outdoor seating looks like it will be very nice in warmer weather.
With all due respect to Intelligentsia, it is really difficult to find a dialed-in espresso at 3pm. The espresso taste changes thru the day with temperature+humidity etc, so the settings need to be checked and changed throughout the day. Most places give up before noon. Not Colectivo. I dont think Ive ever had a great espresso at 3pm until here at Colectivo. Highly recommend.
Good coffee, expect a line
Funky, eclectic and hipster-friendly, you will have a multitude of plant-based milks at your behest. Outdoor seating, perfect for people watching.
Full disclosure, I used to work for a different Colectivo location. The coffee selection is great, products are sourced locally, and though a vegan will have slim pickings here, its not entirely impossible to eat well. Social distancing is practiced well at this location - theres no cross traffic.
Love this place great coffee and service
I came here because I know they just opened recently. The decor is lovely, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. An employee was walking around handing out free pastries, which is cool!The only reason I didnt give them a 5 star rating is because I find the environment a bit too loud and energetic to relax and get work done. People talk very loudly here. Is it just me? I like quiet. Im an introvert. Well, anyway...the music is also a bit loud, and I dont care for the song selection.I think I tend to like coffee shops with more of a relaxed, hipster vibe. Maybe its just a personal preference. This place is great for groups, and is bright and colorful. I would recommend it depending on what youre looking for. Coffee is good.
I love the atmosphere here. Every time Ive gone the staff has been so friendly and welcoming. I really like their hot chocolate and the pastries are great. I also tried one of their smoothies which was good, too. I need to make some return visits and explore their menu but so far its a wonderful addition to the neighborhood!
Great coffee, friendly staff. Theyve done a lot to make visiting safe during the pandemic.
What a neat little place. Slightly off beat, but just enough that its not weird. Had one experience with a server who didnt seem to be in the best mood, but didnt take away from the visit or the coffee. Good diverse menu, even though I order pretty simple.
This coffee shop has a wide variety of items to purchase, such as smoothies, bagels, gluten-free baked goods, and teas. There is a large amount of space to get work done, as well as two gender-neutral restrooms that are equally clean. Id recommend visiting to anyone within the area that is looking for a spot to get work done or talk over coffee with a friend.
Only wish it was open later!
Unfortunately Chicago colectivos are a bit uppity And unfriendly. I used to recommend this same to people but I can no longer because other coffee places treat their customers better.
YUM! Chi city latte & horchata cold brew drinks were 10/10! Staff was helpful & friendly.
My moms favorite place to eat in the city. Good ambience, nice staff, really tasty options. I wish portions were a little bigger or prices were a little lower? Also, they carry Defloured gluten free desserts!
Great coffee and drinks, plenty of seats, and fast wifi. It gets a little boisterous at times - but the energetic atmosphere made me feel comfortable fielding a short work call from my window seat. Ill come to work remotely again soon!
So happy Colectivo got another Chicago location! Have been going to Milwaukee locations for years and this one lives up to their greatness.Wonderful coffee and bakery, plus an eclectic interior. Love the mismatched seating and garage doors opening up to the street. Plenty of outlets as a work/study space too
The Windy Ci-Tea was so good! Definitely will get it again.I love the vibe here.
This has been the best coffee house I’ve been to in Andersonville so far. Natural light, outdoor seating, plants. I always get a cappuccino when I try a new spot, just so the comparison is fair but this time I went with the iced cold brew horchata and it is excellent. Would recommend this place to all, gets a 4.5 from me. (Local Art, on the somewhat bare brick wall would get the last .5 from me)
Great coffee and pleasant workers.
Ive been to this Colectivo location three times now and I am very pleased with it. It has replaced the other coffee shops I have gone to regularly, without a doubt. The oatmeal cream pies are almost too good, and their drink of the day options are super delicious.
Now thats what I call coffee cake!
Great coffee and food.
Good coffee and food. Staff is nice.
Calm atmosphere, lots of tables, and great food and coffee. Only downside: constantly filled with single people doing work or homework. It can be weird to have a conversation inside because its so quiet.
Great place to do homework, wonderful coffee. Love that they serve good all hours!
Their breakfast foods are delish, and espresso drinks are amazing.
Great coffee! The also sell nice coffee beans
They. Um well. They have an outdoor patio.The beverages are like cardboard( but they have an outdoor patio)
I love how spacious and comfortable this place is. I just enjoyed a chai latte- the perfect anecdote to a chilling windy day.
Kindness and coffee, what more do we need?
The coffee here was fantastic!! They have some pretty unique flavors and the Windy Ci-Tea was one of the most delicious drinks Ive ever had!
What a great place! Fun vibe. Great coffee. Unique. Their coffee is tasty and with great packaging--perfect gifts!
Reasonably priced clean and friendly employees thank you for elective coffee and please keep your prices reasonable
Great coffee and eats! Entertainment on weekends. Drag queen reading time! 👍👍
A gem in Andersonville. I love meeting with friends there to enjoy conversations and not over priced lattes. Colectivo offers pastries too and a great ambiance. I highly recommend this coffee shop.
Love the coffee and the atmosphere
Yumm. My old neighbourhood. Soo cute!!!
Good coffee and patties. A tad more hipster than necessary.

Great coffee 5/5, customer service 5/5.WRAP 2/5.I had a terrible Mediterranean wrap. Go to KOPI cafe down the block, if you want GREAT FOOD.
Excellent food and coffee. A little too warm today and quite a few flies
This place has good coffee- and I enjoyed the matcha latte it tasted more authentic, if you know drink matcha. Food is good too, nice selection of pastries! The cucumber cream cheese is a must with a bagel and they have sandwich and soup& salad options. They are super friendly and even walked around giving free cookies! I lost my keys and was having a bad day and they offered me free coffee. Highly recommend this place, I like the water on tap by the napkins too:)
Great coffee shop with very friendly staff. Good food and beverage options
Love me some Colectivo. Always fresh and delicious, always helpful staff.
Decent coffee, friendly atmosphere, pleasant staff
I love the variety of drinks and baked goods!
Great service and scones! Yum.
