The coffee is pretty good, and the food is fine but not a good value for what you pay. However, the vibe is really cozy complete with a fireplace under the stairs. I love hanging out here when I get the chance.

Awesome space. Great sandwich. But the guy with shoulder length black hair could not have been more rude. Obnoxiously waved at us when I started ordering as though I was being rude about something? Rolled his eyes and seemed so annoyed because I asked which sandwich was better. His only answer was I don’t eat meat. Also ordered a cinnamon roll and had started to walk towards the end of the counter and he shook the bag at us saying do you want this or not. I work in hospitality and don’t usually comment about this kind of stuff but it literally made me want to walk out. I get that people have bad days but being polite isn’t hard. At least the girl who handed us our drinks was nice.

Brand new location of one of my favorite coffee shops. This is by far the largest I’ve web and beautifully designed + reliably delicious coffee and treats. Two floors, tons of seating indoor and out and all size tables, two rooms that can be made private, outdoor patio and lounge area near the fireplace. Already packed on its opening weekend, destine to be a neighborhood favorite.

Good menu, lots of space, outdoor area looks nice once the weather warms up.
Not 5 stars for the loud music (too much bass), was hard to concentrate even with my own headphones on with noise cancellation mode on.

I love their lavender lattes with oat milk, and chocolate croissants. I used to be an employee here, and can assure you all the awesome individuals making your coffee are extremely knowledge and skilled, based on Colectivos vast coffee knowledge and extensive training :)

Update today is a little bit quieter but it’s freezing cold. It’s winter and they have the ac cranking and a huge fan. Unforgettable and energy wasting. Also there’s beginning a homeless camp. Want a peaceful place for coffee and conversation, not enjoying the loud mariachi and Spanish club music constantly. Not good for the coffee experience. If I want to go to the club or Mexico I’ll do that.

A really fitting sister location to the Logan Square's Colectivo- an equally well run, delightful spot for tasty eats, coffee, a brew both cold and on tap or a delicious serving of bottled kombucha, if that's what you're into. The Troubadour baked goods never disappoint and food-wise there are a few really great vegetarian choices, if you're meat free. The Wicker Park location also has an indoor/outdoor porch that you'll enjoy if you like to be slightly elevated for your fresh air moment. Also, the staff always come off real, friendly but also professional; an all around welcome vibe. You should definitely stop in for a nibble and a mini hang by yourself or with a friend
