I had the pleasure of attending a private event there! The service exceeded my expectations. The female attendant who worked at the party deserves a perfect 10. She was very pleasant, very accommodating, and went above and beyond. I highly recommend this venue for intimate events
Great place for meetup or regular visits. Great coffee options and other specialty drinks. Warm but rustic decor makes for great experience. Expansive menu with unique offerings. Had the chicken empanadas and the grilled chicken sandwich, both tasty! There was plenty of room to spread out at tables or cushy chairs and have privacy for studying , reading or having that conference call without disturbing others or being disturbed. The 'Church for the UnChurched chalk board was great touch, blending Biblical quotes with other inspirational messages of encouragement may also provide a peek into the cafe's vibe and or ownership

Their empanadas are delicious! Tasty and soft. You must try their green sauce with them.

This is a quaint place with a calm atmosphere and wonderful staff. The food is good, salads sandwiches and such. A coffee style house for sure. No complaints..

Enjoyed it thoroughly. Been a few times with different people. They use local roasters for their coffee and espresso beans. The staff is very welcoming and accommodating.
We were checking out the Matthews area, and was looking for a local spot to have lunch on a Saturday. We found this great cafe! It is counter service style, so you order your food, pay at the counter, then your food comes to where you're seated. We got there at a busy time, right at the start of the lunch rush, so there weren't many available tables. As we were ready to sit (there were 3 of us) a small table opened. This place has bench seating, high top tables, large buffet tables, and couches with end tables too. Anything you might like to feel comfortable, the Collective Cafe has it. Food comes fast here! And looks and tastes great! We got the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich side of steak fries, the Smoky Chipotle Chicken Panini side of fruit, and the BLT side of roasted sweet potatoes. All delicious! Food was hot and fresh and came out very fast. Great on a busy Saturday. Also, their bathrooms are very clean. I know this can be important to many guests, so I thought I would mention it here. Great little find on the way to downtown Matthews. If you are heading to the area, stop here and grab a bite first!
