If you like a good place to relax and get your favorite beverage, then this is a spot for you to come and check out for yourself. Plenty of indoor/outdoor seating and the service was lightning fast! I really enjoyed my specially prepared Windy Ci-tea and my companions also enjoyed their drinks too. If youre looking for a bite to eat, theres a menu for that which I plan to sample soon! Colectivo is where its at!

I love it. The environment is very warm and welcoming. Love the salted carmel Latte and beverages are reasonably priced. The line moves quick too go good to place if your in a rush.

They gave me a salted caramel latte and IT MADE ME GAG. It was disgusting. Very unprofessional. I do not recommend this disgusting place. -10/10 must never try again

I miss the Collectivo when it was Alterra, when the food was good and the coffee was better. Now, the coffee is ok, somewhere between other local roasters and starbucks. The food is still good (both bites), but they hit it with an evil villins shrink ray. For a price near a qudoba burrito Id like something bigger than a cell phone. Atmosphere is as good as always.

The pumpkin cranberry muffins are the best ever and the Chorizo burrito is awesome. Great coffee too.

My friend is moving to the area. Great coffee house! And, our wait person was so nice (to us, 3 older ladies). Pleasant, not rushing us at all. Thanks much.

Unfortunately this place has turned into more of a restaurant than coffee shop :/ only one type of brewed off and still no pour overs due to Covid. Yet you can bring in your own cups now, shield at register has been removed and the self serve station is open?? Makes absolutely no sense. The coffee has become a complete after thought.

High quality coffee, awesome outdoor seating area and staff was great as well. Will make u wonder why you ever go to starbucks. Havent tried the cold brew yet but im looking forward to that next time! (Which will be soon)

I love that this place is spacious. Unlike many coffee shops you dont feel like youre right on top of the person next to you. And creative coffee and non-coffee drinks.

Solid place to relax and hang out with a cup of coffee. The space both inside and out are great. I sometimes bring my laptop here to get some work done and its a good environment for that too.

What a fun coffee shop! The indoor and outdoor areas are really great and the coffee and food do not disappoint. Im a big cold brew fan and the Cold Brew Oat-Chata is probably my new favorite coffee concoction ever! I also appreciate that they discourage the use of straws and that the ones they provide are paper straws (even though I think paper straws are annoying, at least theyre eco friendly!).

First timer to this shop today and I had a delicious bacon egg and cheese English muffin to go along with my drip coffee. You can tell they care about your food/drink and are doing everything right in terms of keeping the place sanitized and safe right now. No stupid sizes names either, just the names you expect.

This place was recommended by my in laws so we stopped by before we headed back to Philadelphia. It is such a cute and delicious cafe that I wish we had this chain. I had the potato egg and bacon burrito with the iced coffee. The burrito came with a fresh salsa that was perfectly spicy. My coffee was nice and strong it almost tasted like cold brew.My husband had the breakfast sunrise sandwich with a croissant bread. Everything is made fresh and made to order. You gotta try this place.

Review №22

Staff is supper friendly and plenty of space in this location to sit outside by the fire or inside to study with lots of giant windows, parking in the back or the road. They always make orders quick to the point sometimes its too fast - my husband is a silly man and it takes us about 20mins to get to this location (worth it!) But he pre-order on the app not expecting it to be done so quickly I couldnt help but laugh on our whole trip to Colectivo! 😂 love this place! HOPE THEY OPEN UP THE HISTORIC THIRD WARD LOCATION BACK UP 🥰

Great coffee. Love the outdoor seating and fire pit. Can get too crowded at times, but a single seat is usually open as people are willing to share.

Come for breakfast and a coffee. Use the free WiFi to surf or work. Grab a sandwich and a nitro cold-brewed coffee(!) at lunch. Sit by the indoor or outdoor fires and drink an imperial stout for happy hour. Really, if they added showers and beds, youd never have to leave. The parking lot is a little small, so if its busy, you may have to park on the street.

This place has an amazing location. There is a fire pit outside and fireplace inside. The staff is extremely friendly. Many of them over the years have taken the time to learn my name and great me in the morning. It is a great way to start the day.I like to stop here and set up my mobile office as well. The WiFi is reliable and you can almost always find a spot to plug in your laptop if needed, regardless of how busy it is.

If you’re looking for great coffee, a quite/cozy atmosphere to work or relax then this is the place. Honestly regret ever buying Starbucks coffee. Definitely try their salmon sandwich.

Awesome space! With a beautiful outside fire pit and dazzling firefly lights. Its a perfect place for an after dinner cuppa or a glass of wine with friends. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and super helpful. With the uncertainty covid has brought to the dining out community, the smiling staff create a sense of much needed comfort when you stop in.

I have seen these businesses all over the city. It always looks so inviting to come in and I had the opportunity to do so one day. The place is super cozy. It has an atmosphere that makes you feel so welcomed the moment you walk in.The staff here is completely friendly and they get your orders in as quick as you make them. Shown below, is a picture of their fire pit that they have outside. Unfortunately, it was raining the day that I went, but it was so nice just to stay out there anyway and just enjoy the view.

Colectivo is a great cafe! Very nice outdoor and indoor seating, and their service is great even when theyre busy. Expensive, but their food and drink is 100% worth it. Definitely recommend if youre looking for something different than the typical starbucks or dunkin donuts. Incredibly eco friendly, too.

My favorite place to study! Theyre food and drinks are consistently delicious and they have lots of options for different diets. Theyre covid policies are strong and they seem to maintain them well

Review №51

I’ve been visiting and drinking Colectivo for many years. The food, drinks, atmosphere never disappoint. Always great coffee and lattes. However the baristas are always very rude. I always thought that I had bad luck, now I know that it’s not just me. My friends and coworkers have the same experiences. The amazing lattes used to make up for it, but not sure that I’ll be coming back as often as I used to which is unfortunate because I like supporting smaller businesses.

Pa
Review №52

Time and time again I have had my simple coffee orders erroneously served, i’m not one to usually write reviews but something must be done, beyond serving me drips instead of lattes and omitting cream from my drip coffee they continuously mispronounce and misspell my name. I regret every single experience I have ever had there and I hope no human soul has to ever survive the terrible customer service nightmare that is “colectivo” on N 68th st. P.s. I only put one star because supernovae i.e. a dying star is not an option.

Review №53

What they’ve done to this store to accommodate the pandemic is shameful. There’s enough room in the huge area for at least SOME indoor social distancing, even if only 1 table. I came in through the back door and they made me walk back outside and all the way around to the front door. Really rude service and honestly if you really stop to taste the coffee, it doesn’t even taste good.

I love all the Colectivos for being unique but having the same great atmosphere and delicious coffee and food, but this one is closest to me and I really miss hanging out inside it.Easily one of the best coffee places in Tosa, their food is amazing and theyve adapted amazingly with Covid to keep things safe and still provide amazing service.

I saw a concert here in the backroom. It was a nice setting for a smaller show. A smaller space allows you to feel closer to the artist on stage. Getting in and out was easy. Parking was a bit limited but we walked just a couple blocks. Drinks were good!

Review №92

Ive been doing the curbside pick up thing lately and let me tell ya...game changer. Their app doesnt allow you to tell them how many sugars you want though so sometimes its enough and other times your just stuck with a coffee thats not quite sweet enough (but still delicious)
