BLUF: Great place to get work done and sip on coffee. Ambiance (5/5): This place gave off the vibes of "working your corporate job outside to get SOME semblance of control." It was packed with people and had plenty of outdoor seating. It's right by tons of stuff to do, eat, and see. I'd recommend this place for a morning coffee or to get work done. Service (5/5): Fast and nice. Interaction was very little. Drinks (5/5): Great flavorful drinks. The elderflower was actually noticeable and the honey they used was good. The salted caramel cream cold brew was sweet and delicious. Perfect for a hot morning. read more

The only friendly employee was the one who took my order. Everyone else was very snooty and seemed inconvenienced by simple requests. The egg and cheese croissant had egg, goat cheese (weird), and some chalky dry pesto spread that no one explained would come on a simple egg and cheese croissant. The croissant itself was unique and delicious, but I didn't really get a chance to enjoy it since the spread was all over it. The patio is a nice place to sit and chat, but overall I would not recommend this place for its coffee or food. read more

This is the place you grab something quick to eat when everything else is closed...latte was weak and could barely taste the syrup. Breakfast burritos are small and don't taste like there are fresh ingredients. Easy to order via the mobile app and staff are pleasant, though. read more

Loveeee the vibe of this patio! The turkey club is so yummy with their homemade pesto mayo. Chorizo breakfast burrito was pretty small so keep that in mind, but it was tasty! I prefer the cortados here to the iced lattes because the lattes taste a little too milk-y, but I am picky about that. Will always come here for a morning coffee hangout. read more

This was a pretty good place in the vibes were good, but the food was a little bit off however, I think the coffee was really great. If you're looking for a great spot to enjoy breakfast, this is the one that'll hit, just don't expect way too much from the food you order but it's still great! read more

Great coffee and breakfast. Unique flavors without being sugary. So nice to find a great coffee spot that is right on with the drinks and breakfast options. Service was awesome as well. I really love this coffee spot and the coffee has more caffeine than Starbucks coffee so definitely a plus! read more

Colectivo is a blessing to live near for delicious, reliable coffee and food. Their hours are great, being open from 6 in the morning to 6 in the evening. I've enjoyed so many different lattes/drinks, from their cardamom honey latte to seasonal options and even their cold brew milkshakes! Food is also great (the veggie pesto burrito is heaven to my tastebuds, I don't know why we haven't put broccoli in breakfast burritos sooner). The patio is SO nice in warmer weather. My one complaint there is that the wasps are out of control - like whenever I'd try to be enjoying my meal, there's a yellowjacket swarming my sandwich. As someone who flinches around bees, this does kill the vibe for me a bit. read more

Ample seating and the sausage egg and cheese English muffin was amazing! The covered seating area is nice and warm but was filled, but there are plenty of seats outside. read more

Colectivo Coffee Lincoln Park - Sausage Egg and Cheese English Muffin - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The best Colectivo in Chicago, it offers a great Patio in the summer and great coffee year round. The only bad part is how packed it can get and if you're looking for a place to settle down and get work done then you have to show up early. The coffee itself is pretty decent and the food isn't bad as well. We ordered the Spiced Maple Cream Cold Brew and it wasn't bad. read more

Came here for a quick latte and breakfast bite before heading to the airport. Super quick and convenient and love the vibes! Plenty of covered outdoor seating which was super nice. Vanilla latte didn't much taste like vanilla but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The chocolate croissant, however, was amazing. Super flaky and buttery and just the right amount of chocolate to not overpower everything. I was not expecting that much out of it since I thought this was mostly a coffee shop but I was very pleasantly surprised. read more

Astronomical amount of indoor and outdoor seating perfect for laptops, reading and talking with friends. Great selection of tea and coffee drinks. We ordered a ginger tea, meadow spritz and Thai tea latte. Everyone enjoyed their orders. Service was quick, but not as warm as I would have liked. Oh well. Overall good experience. read more

Got the pink panther! It was great! Super cute location and near so many other places! Service was fast even considering how busy they were.

The coffee, the food, and the space are all amazing. The customer service is terrible. Snobby, borderline rude and incredibly standoffish. Where do you find such bitter people in guest facing roles...and then to have the audacity to prompt for a tip? read more

Colectivo has been sitting in my bookmarks since a while and I'm so glad I finally got a chance to visit this cute cafe located in Wicker Park. This cafe is usually packed with a lot of people either working/ studying/ catching up with friends. It has a lot of seating space and the ambiance is very cool and has ample natural lighting too. They have some seating space right by the fireplace, have huge sharable tables, and have an upper level as well to accommodate visitors. On my recent visit, I ordered a lavender Latte with almond milk and my friend got a Cortado. We also ordered a Vegan Burrito that had potatoes and just eggs and it was so so good. They have a lot of Vegan/ Vegetarian food options and I'm definitely coming back to try more food. The service was good as well, they have an amicable staff. read more

Worst service, I've never been treated so rudely before. Didn't offer to heat up my croissant even though the girl offered for the person in front of me and behind me. And when I went to try and ask her a question she hurried away and pretended not to hear me. It's a cold cafe, it's cute outside and there's outlets both inside and outside to work. Offers free WiFi which is the only reason it even deserves 1 star. Also, there are bees all inside making it hard to enjoy the place. read more

I've eaten here before & the food & coffee is good but now it's turned into a Starbucks where all the student's just nurse a drink for hours & take up all the tables to work on their laptops outside. I wanted to have a nice lunch but not one table open because of this, not one person eating & at this point drinking anything. What a waste of money for Colectivo since a lot of that neighborhood is families with kids. read more

LOVE this coffee shop!!! The work from home vibes are immaculate here. Grab your coffee and sit on the covered porch - you can still see your computer screen and maybe even get a seat with a plug if you're lucky. I sat here and worked for 4 hours on a nice Friday and it was ideal. They don't really have any indoor seating though. The coffee is great, and the food is pretty good. The turkey sandwich I got for lunch was tasty. The breakfast burrito was ok. The chocolate croissants were pretty good too. I loved that they had food and drink seasonal specials too for pride month! The rewards system is definitely worth getting. They give you points so you can get free items later! read more

This is the neighborhood coffee shop for Lincoln Park! We went on a Sunday morning and it was packed. There was a line out the door and people seated all over the patio. There were a few tables available so we snagged one of those. Our group orders coffee and breakfast burritos on the app. I'd love to see some more gf/df food options on the menu and maybe some coconut milk or more specialty drinks without sugar/syrups too, but everything looked great. Thanks y'all! read more

I absolutely love the avocado toast here. It's so yummy, I highly recommend it. The chai tea I had was pretty good too, but the avocado toast is to die for. read more

I feel like everytime I come back, the quality of their drinks has gone down. Last time I was here, I got a latte and couldn't even taste any coffee. Their cold foam has no flavor and their pistachio matcha straight up taste like pistachio milk. However I think their food is better and I like their outdoor seating for the summer. read more

Colectivo has an incredible vibe! There's an outdoor patio with a fire place and tons of seating. Also they have a covered section which they heat during the cold seasons. Really good spot to grab coffee and catch up with a buddy. Only downside, there's not much indoor seating. I've also been to the Andersonville location which has a lot more indoor seating than LP. The coffee is really good too! They have tons of signature options as well as the classics. If you're feeling a little crazy, you can really customize the heck out of your drink! App is user friendly. Once you place your order online - the drinks come out in like 10 or so minutes. So time accordingly. They may even call your name out when your drink is ready. It's nice touch - I love being called my nickname no one calls me read more

Love the seasonal menu items at Collectivo. The patio in Lincoln Park with the fire pits is very nice.

Took advantage of the sun shining in February by going to North Pond and the Colectivo patio - I LOVE that they maintain the patio in the off-season. It was absolutely packed for 45 degrees and sunny in February, which was so fun! We enjoyed a coffee and tea, as well as two breakfast sandwiches. About $20 for that which is pretty good compared to elsewhere in the neighborhood with the sandwiches! The sandwiches were basic but tasty. I really appreciated that they elevated a classic "egg McMuffin" with a little chimichurri. We will definitely stop by again on morning walks! read more

Colectivo is one of my favorite Chicago work-spot, coffee shops. I specifically go out of my way for the Lincoln Park location just for their patio and easy access to the bus stop. *The 36 drops you off right in front* The coffee and tea are always made correctly and is delicious, the service is kind and speedy, and the setting is very young professionals working. At least it gives that vibe on a week day. This is the perfect neighborhood coffee shop for summer Fridays when you need to pretend to work, but still want to enjoy the sun! read more

This is hands-down, one of my favorite coffee shops I've ever been to. Sadly, I don't live anywhere nearby and just dropped in on a 24 hour visit to Chicago. My sister and I were in town for a show. If I lived nearby, I would probably be here all the time to work or meet with friends or grab a quick snack or drink. The prices are honestly amazing for the quality and variety. I was pretty shocked by them. I opted for a blackberry cold foam iced Matcha latte and an avocado hummus toast. Both were super good. The toast was made with sourdough that is baked by the coffee shop bakery. I wish I could've grabbed a bag to take home. my sister got a potato breakfast burrito and a strawberry peach smoothie. She was super excited because strawberry and peach are not always together in smoothies. The burrito was so tasty. There isn't really any room to eat inside, you mostly just order in there. Then there are big sliding glass doors that lead out to a giant patio with colorful chairs and tables. There was also mint growing in pots around the patio. They have complimentary water and reusable cups, which I really appreciated. 1000/10 recommend. read more

WFH central! Walked in and a lady had two monitors going, had a laptop stand set up, on a zoom call with at least a dozen people. Lots of other remote workers in here as well. Overall great productivity vibe going on a friday morning Food was pretty decent. Got the sausage egg and cheese muffin and it was pretty much the same as a starbucks sandwich. Cappuccino was solid as well but was far too hot to drink for the first 10 minutes. Pops said the chorizo breakfast burrito was mid, for what it's worth Walking distance from my place so I'll definitely be back to explore more on the menu. read more

honestly love Colectivo for what it is and what most ppl use it for - the big patio, good coffee, lots of dogs, etc. but the customer experience here could definitely be improved. i had a gift card + saw they have a 15% off code on their website. i tried to add the gift card to my app, but you need to input a security code which is nowhere on the card, and there are no instructions for adding it on the website. i decided i would just use it in person instead of ordering online (also annoying because the lines are usually rlly long). i got to the register and asked the girl at the counter about the 15% off code and she had no idea what i was talking about. the guy next to her said that you can only use the code on the app - at this point she'd already put in my order and there was a line behind me so i said not to worry about it , but the whole reason i couldn't order on the app was because i couldn't add my gift card to it ! and then i went outside to say hi to my friends who were working there and they said they did order on the app but there was no place to put the discount code. WHY even have them if you can't use them? super annoying. felt like the baristas could have just given me the 15% off at that point too, idk. i'm just saying this bc i love you @ Colectivo, pls do a little better. today was just a bad day. edit to add: they only added one shot of espresso to my medium dirty chai :( read more

I live in Evanston, bicycled down here early on Saturday to meet an associate for my first visit here. While I only had a small coffee, it had by far the finest coffee shop patio anywhere. We enjoyed sitting outside under the roof, met a number of regulars (a few with their dogs) who were very friendly. I look forward to going back some morning and sit out there again. read more

Ok the bread hard yet good but the vibes in there even harder. Lots of business bros and girlies tryna flaunt their new wealth. Idk I don't think it's the place for most people wanting to try a new place. It gave me high-school lunchroom in there. Look at my trauma coming out in a review. People cut me in line. Once again not on the workers who were very serving and lovely. I for something small after my trip to the zoo and oh honey was it good but the people that go are. Yea. Let's just say. Not the crowd. read more

It's super busy and packed even on a weekday. I got the lavender honey latte. Not a good iced latte. Honestly didn't even have those flavors.

They were very busy and hopping which is a good sign! Orders are placed in one room section and then you moved to an outdoor covered patio section with tables and heaters.. We ordered Lattes I had Mocha and my daughter had Vanilla... I didn't get to take a picture of the cups ... but the small was an ample perfect size! The best part was it was warmed to perfection and tasted! Prices were fair also. Most likely will return in the future! read more

Whenever I walk by, this place is always packed. I liked their outdoor space a lot and it is pretty extensive. I got the cold brew with oat milk and the impossible vegan burrito.

The service was fast and friendly so I have no complaints there! read more

Fantastic coffee shop & cafe in the hear of Lincoln Park. They have a huge patio with plenty of seating. I met someone here for a meeting and then hung around to get some work done.

Perfect drink to caffeinate on a sunny day in the city. read more

Cute coffee shop on lincoln. A lot of space to sit and hang out. Line can be long but moves fast. I got the bacon egg and cheese croissant which I didn't particularly love.

Stopped in for a quick bite and drinks. Wow! My daughter got an iced salted caramel latte with oat milk and it was perfect. It was creamy from the oatmilk and the coffee flavors blended together perfectly. I'd get this again in a heartbeat. The pesto wrap was tiny but it was delicious! I got a hot chai with oatmilk and that was pretty good too. There was a line but it moved pretty fast. Download the app for quicker service and welcome complimentary drink. read more
