I absolutely love the food at this place . I have attempted many restaurants in the area since moving to Charlotte but this is easily the best I have been able to find. I would highly recommend this place. I plan to go weekly.

Cute brunch or breakfast spot with unique menu options. Counter service and not full dining. The breakfast empanadas come in pairs- veggie or scrambled with bacon. The crust was superb- flaky and flavorful and worth every carb calorie. The filling was mostly egg in both and I had a hard time telling which was which, but it was soft scrambled and not dry at all. Salsa not pictured as I had to remind the server about it, but it was the chopped fresh pico kind and paired perfectly with the savory empanadas. Breakfast Sammie was enormous and overflowing with soft, fluffy egg. My husband didn't really have room to make much of an effort on the yogurt cup after the giant Sammie. Lemonade was surprisingly fresh and just the right amount of sugar. Lots of other drink options were on hand - full coffee bar and soft drinks selection. Water is also available self-service. Seating options were quite varied- couch like banquettes, high cocktail tables, low dining tables and chairs, and some chairs at counter height on the back side of the coffee bar. If you're not picky about your chair type, it's a pretty cool luck of the draw kind of situation. Parking was plentiful and the location was easy to find. Only drawback is that it is counter service, coffee refills are $1, and if it's busy your preferred seating option is not likely available. Menu didn't specify option of a side, but I was allowed to pick. Appreciated that flexibility.

The food was a great price and was soo good. The ambience/atmosphere is very indy and vibey. Quick service and friendly staff. There are some sofas and small couches if you only want to socialize/drink coffee instead of dining.Ps: a great date spot

Food was good/average. I wish there were more sides to choose from than fries, fruit or potato salad (there's not much else) but the seating section is darling and has the cutest vibe! I want to go back and try a coffee and more drink options, like the tiramisu latte!

Delicious and generous Philly Cheese Steak with fruit. Very friendly service, clean and good modern atmosphere, but comfy seating was a bit limited. Will definitely try again when in the area.

This is a cute and cozy coffee shop with some delicious options.This coffee shop is located in a stand alone building shared with a co-working space with its own free parking lot with quite a few spots.The menu has options of hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, salads and empanadas and even a kids menu.I came by myself and only got a cafe con leche (latte), and it was delicious.The service was great and the vibe even better. Common areas and the restroom were clean.Overall, 100% recommended.

My husband and I were looking for somewhere to go for breakfast and Collective Cafe popped up on yelp.We ordered at the counter and found a comfortable seat. There were a few people working and a few just enjoying a coffee.The restaurant is decorated so cute and it's perfect for a quick meal or to hang out.We ordered a smoothie, breakfast bagel, empanadas and a smoothie. We got our food quickly and everything was delicious and filling. We will definitely be back!

I've been here three times for a quick coffee. Even when I've been in line for over 10 minutes and still waiting to place my order, there's only one person ahead of me. I leave without a coffee every time because it takes forever just to place my order. Very disappointing. I'd love to support local businesses but I don't feel like my time is valued when I've been here.

Breakfast was full and hearty. Coffee was outstanding. Service was friendly and helpful. Only four stars because it's a little on the pricey side.

This cute café was so delicious! We will definitely be back! The coffee bar when you walk in to the counter where you order from to the service then cute atmosphere. It was awesome! The lunch sandwiches were amazing.
