So cozy especially by the fireplace during winter. They’re open on New Year’s Day. Signature and holiday drinks all seem original. Lively atmosphere.

I ordered one ice oatmilk horchata coffee through the mobile app. It estimated 5 to 10 minutes. I was on North and Damen ave, they had it ready when I arrived.
It tasted like cinammon. It reminded me of champurrado, te de canela and cinammon coffee. It hit home.
I find it odd they set the orders on the side unattended. Anyone can walk in and take it.
It felt too dark in there for my liking but still nice.

Great coffee/cafe spot. They have Vegetarian and Vegan options for food/pastries-- also the Oat Milk Lattes are delicious! Only issue here is they charge extra for oat milk (WHY?) and are pricey for the food (although delicious) they dont give you a whole lot for what you pay. [Sesame sweet potatoe bowl is over $9.00 and tiny portions]. Also, if you plan on doing work here, the outlet game is scarce and music can be pretty loud. The WiFi kicks you off after an hour it's really annoying.

Got 2 drinks and 2 pastries for almost $30. Far too much for some nasty, gimmicky coffee. Tried their seasonal fall drinks and my boyfriend and I spit them out and tossed em. I promise we’re not wasteful people but these drinks were so nasty!! Save ur money and go elsewhere. Ur paying for location and ambiance over good coffee anyway might as well go somewhere else

Favorite coffee shop in Chicago, hands down. The layout is literally perfect - they've managed to combine every coffee shop style out there:
- Plenty of tables with outlets
- Couches and library setting
- Upstairs bar seating with plugs and large windows
- Gorgeous covered patio
Interior is beautifully decorated with high ceilings and industrial-style fittings.
Coffee quality is okay (certainly better than Starbucks) and their bakery always has something to please. Overall I highly recommend this coffee shop for any digital nomad or person looking for their productive "third place".

Theft Occurred HERE! Don’t go this location, NOT SAFE! Yesterday, on January 15th around 5pm
while I was studying downstairs, the thieves snatched my bagpack suddenly and ran out. I was shocked and after the incident, I immediately went to the police station but my all stuff was stolen. Colectivo Coffee Wicker Park did not care about that any manager or etc. No staff came and asked me that if I need help. Only did costumers.
it just happened to me into the coffee place and I'm so sad. BE CAREFUL ABOUT THIS LOCATION. Not safe area.

Great place! I went to both location this one and the one in Logan Square. This location is bigger. But anyways, great cozy place to get some work done been there a few times now lol. If you plan on being there a few hours to get some work done, definitely get there early so you can find a sit, it will get crowded.

Oat-chata cold brew is amazing, great food and pastries and plenty of tables inside and outside to hang out or do work. Expensive though.

A few years ago I tried Intelligentsia coffee for the first time at an Italian restaurant and it was so good I had three cups. I was in the East Lakeview area recently we decided to stop for a cup of coffee at the Intelligentsia Coffee Shop near Belmont & Broadway. We both ordered their house-brand coffee and we agreed it was very good but the music was louder than normal so I asked the barista if she would lower the volume, and she said she would look into it.
Well, the volume didn’t change at all. The music wasn’t that loud in the rear of the shop but there weren’t any available tables. It didn’t surprise me. I would have given four stars had it not been for the barista. Most people go to a coffee shop to do work on their computers not to listen to loud music. One nice touch is they give you a separate container with a cup of coffee on the side.
