Love their coffee, love the vibe, do NOT love biting into my scone and finding a rock.

I dont know I was really enjoying this coffee shop next to my workplace, and then I got a coffee today that was so bad it really made me want to never go again.
Friendly workers though. Good food and great atmosphere when the patio is open. Maybe unreliable.
However they have a sliding doors on the same wall where you wait for your items, so have fun waiting for your coffee while an annoying amount of people ask you to move over so they can get through the door

I don’t understand why 4 other people after me got their drink before me. No one was there when I arrived. Then I asked for mine I got an attitude from the barista. Waited 15 mns for a mocha shake, when others ordered after got shake smoothie she had to wash all the blenders then chat some more with that person.

There’s a grounded vibe in this Colectivo location light-toned wood, clean lines, and soft lighting that feels inviting rather than staged. Their cold brew was crisp and smoothly round refreshing after a long walk through the park. Paired with a berry scone that was both flaky and subtly sweet, it turned into one of those moments where time stretches gracefully. It’s a spot you come back to because it feels honest, genuine, and unfussy just good coffee and soft edges.

A nice spot to hang out in the summer. Their deck is very large and you can always find a spot to sit. I love their garden goddess sandwich (I hope they always keep this on their menu). The sandwich bread is a good quality sourdough always tasting fresh. I am happy to say that there is still at-least one place in the city that is reasonably priced to get a coffee and sandwich. It seems like the prices have gone crazy high but Colectivo is still reasonable. It is my weekend go-to!

The outdoor experience here reminds me a lot of the outdoor cafes in Paris. Just a great spot to hang out

A lively café with a spacious patio and energetic vibes. The drink menu features a great mix of seasonal and specialty options. Perfect spot for catching up with friends or getting work done - there’s Wi-Fi and plenty of outlets along the walls for laptop use.

I tried the peach matcha drink, it was soooo good!!! It’s all patio space, there’s ample coverings so it was pretty nice for a rainy day. I just wouldn’t go here if I’m trying to be inside.

Atmosphere is great. I love the patio. Drinks are interesting and well priced. I wish the restrooms were a bit cleaner though
This Colectivo is what all neighborhood coffee shops should aspire to be, as community spaces and as businesses (not all cafes earn a lunch rush). I think it’s three things, in addition to its stellar location in the highly foot-trafficked, pedestrian-first stretch of Clark St in north Lincoln Park. 1) The patio—their inside/outside setup has enormous capacity for a coffee shop, and people gather there all 12 months of the year to chat, work, and study. 2) The menu! Colectivos everywhere hit that just-right balance of coffee drinks, other drinks, bakery items, and ultraquick meal items. None are overly fussy, and all are very good. Do try their breakfast sandwiches, scones, and seasonal drinks. 3) They’re always staffed up! I never wait to be helped even during slow hours, and during rushes the line moves quickly. Food and drinks come out in a timely manner, and the employees are always very diligent in ensuring napkins, water cups, etc are stocked at the counter. Kudos, Lincoln Park Colectivo!
Got the cold brew oat-chata and it was the most watered down cold brew I’ve ever had. Not sure if they even put any coffee in. Contemplating throwing it out - wouldn’t ever get that again. Staff was nice though.
