I like Colectivo. This one did not disappoint. We ordered a couple lattes, and a Lemon Lavender Scone. So yummy. I enjoyed watching the folks making some of the bakery items. Real artisans :) This location has lots of places to seat, even with an upstairs that has nice views of the entire space.

Lovely Colectivo, a little reminiscent of the original location on Lake Dr, with a dining area upstairs with an open view of the lower level. The bakery (Troubadour) is also located inside, with glass window dividers for a clear view of all the goings on inside. Bakery items kept coming out (around 1pm) and getting refilled. It smelled so good and they were so tempting! Keto blues.... Anyway, not all Colectivo locations are all great. But this one was good. Servers were nice. Coffee was as expected. Atmosphere was stellar!

Excellent location. This place is big with multiple different seating rooms. Having the bakery inside means it will be smelling nice and have a large fresh selection. Collectivo is known across the Midwest as one of the best roasters

UPDATE: Their app really needs some work. I can’t upload funds. There is usually a good selection of baked goods, and of course various coffee/tea beverages. Staff are friendly; it can be very busy esp. in the mornings. Plenty of seating most of the time, might be a bit tricky in the morning rush. Good ambience, but noisy from the espresso,machines. Also, people have a tendency to not pick up their chairs when moving them. Like fingers on a blackboard. Yikes! I have not yet tried the lunch menu.

Came here to use the restroom, but bought some stuff as that’s good manners. It’s a huge place. Looks really nice inside and out. The staff were friendly. The girl that checked me out even helped with a recommendation. I couldn’t choose between the coffee cake,blueberry muffin and the cinnamon roll. All three items looked great! She told me that she personally loves blueberries but the coffee cake was popular and so I got that and a pink panther smoothie both are good choices!

Lots of places to sit inside and out! Quiet enough to get lots of work done. I’m not a coffee guy so you’re are on your own with that BUT I am a smoothie guy and it was delicious! I had a mango peach ginger smoothie and it was excellent! My blueberry scones was delicious and fresh!

Excellent all around! I started my day with a Vanilla Cream Cold Brew and the Famous Chorizo Burrito. The coffee was strong with great flavor and did the job - keeping me alert for my long day of driving. I absolutely LOVED the burrito. There was so much going on with it - eggs, sausage smoked chorizo, poblano peppers, pico de gallo, black and refried beans in a flour tortilla served it house made salsa. It was bursting with flavor! I only wish I grabbed a second one for later in the day. Highly recommend!

Colectivo Cafe is such a lovely spot with great coffee, fresh food, and a cozy atmosphere. I love the outdoor seating and the upstairs area — it’s a great place to relax, study, or catch up with friends. The staff are always friendly, and everything tastes fresh and made with care.
