Colectivo Andersonville

I love Colectivo and was excited to try this location, it's really adorable and cozy inside. It happened to be a gorgeous day when I visited so the garage doors were opened and the place was packed! Despite that, the friendly staff was able to take my order quickly. I went with the iced pistachio matcha latte which was sooo yummy. The pistachio flavor complimented the matcha so nicely -- it was nutty, slightly sweet, and deliciously creamy. Since it was lunchtime, I also ordered the turkey club which was bomb. I love a good turkey sandwich and this is just that. The sandwich has smoked turkey, bacon, swiss cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and pesto mayo piled high on sourdough. So yummy! My love for Colectivo continues to grow.

Stopped by after getting my nails done because I needed something to eat. I ended up getting an avocado toast with an egg and a pistachio matcha. The matcha was honestly one of the best I've had in a while, the pistachio flavor was lovely. I also did enjoy my avocado toast, but I've honestly had better. Most of the seating is outside, which confuses me as a native Chicagoian considering how the winters are cold. This means that during the winter months, it seems to be grab and go which is a shame since the seating inside is very minimal. Nonetheless, the outdoor seating did add charm to the place as a whole. The cashier was very helpful and helped me navigate the decently sized menu. I will stop by to try some more drinks and perhaps another food item the next time I am near Lincoln Park.

I ordered my drink on the app and as I walked out I bumped my shoulder into the door frame and spilled it before taking a sip. I walked back to the counter and waited 5 minutes for the three employees to do everything else but take my order. When I finally got someone to acknowledge me, I said "I spilled my drink by the door right as I picked it up and would like another one." He served me another drink and charged me again. A good coffee shop would have offered me the drink for free, instead of having me pay for two drinks and only consuming one. This is the poor service you can expect here. The spilled drink remained on the floor, endangering everyone who walked in and out until the end of the night.

We love Colectivo and especially love this location! We always have a great, consistent experience going here. Great coffee, attentive and welcoming customer service, and the food (pastries and sandwiches) are always a hit with us. Their breakfast pesto sandwich and chocolate chip cookies are a personal favorite. Their iced coffee is perfectly brewed every time we go there. Heads up: if you're not ordering a drink that's typically ready to go (hot or iced coffee, for example), expect to wait a bit longer than usual for your drink to be done. This might be obvious, but I've noticed a few times where I decided to order a specialty drink instead of my usual iced coffee order and the wait can be a bit long compared to other coffeehouses I've been to, especially during their busy times. But hey, you can't rush a great drink. When I remember to plan ahead, I download the app and order about 10-15 mins ahead to avoid a longer wait in person!A quick ambiance note too: this isn't the best place to have an intimate convo with a friend or park here for a good work or study session for a few hours unless you have headphones. Nothing wrong with that! The music can just get pretty loud.

The perfect place for a cool Chicago morning! There is always seating available. The wifi is great for those that need wifi for work. My fav part is the soundtrack!

Cashier was pretty aggressive in the way he went about explaining no dogs in the shop, when my friend accidentally carried their dog into the shop not seeing the sign on the other entrance that we did not even go through (no sign was posted on the entrance we actually did go through.) We gave no fuss about it and they was apologetic but he was still trying to hammer in after he already told them, "just so you know because we have customers complaining about the cleanliness." Like chill, they were on their way out. He also got our order completely messed up. He rang up two spicy maple lattes but we only ordered one. The other drink was actually a smoked vanilla latte. I even told him the size of my drink before saying the name and he still asked me what size I wanted. Clearly he wasn't listening. We ordered 4 drinks and didn't even ring up the 4th drink. We came out with 3, and the barista asked us if we had all our drinks, which was appreciated because she could have easily gone on to make drinks and ignore us. Thankfully, she was very kind and she was able to fix our order. Drinks themselves were fine. The spicy maple latte had a hint of spice on the bottom, but I didn't taste much maple. The honey cardamom latte was pretty good, and it has a nice cardamom flavor. Both drinks were not too sweet. I'd definitely order the cardamom latte again!

Want to thank the barista for suggesting the caramel sauce in my small half-half cappuccio

One of my other go to places in Andersonville when I want to work at a cafe. The food and coffee are always solid, given that it's a chain, but I find that the vibes aren't as immaculate as the Evanston one bc of the lack of seating? It's always crowded and the seats are nearly all wood and not very comfy. It's like they only want you to stay for an hour haha I do like Colectivo so I'll keep patroning but mostly on a timed visit

I like the vibe here. My daughter loves the kids temp steamers. The servers are all very warm. I love the sunshine bun and pesto wrap. Smoothies are a bit expensive for what you get. The outdoor area is a good size. Sometimes it's crowded and the wait can be a little long. Overall really like it!

I came here with some friends visiting Chicago for the first time (and actually the US for the first time). It was their first day arriving to the US and we were looking for a place we could walk to for a simple breakfast or lunch. On a Tuesday around noon, this place was surpassingly poppin'. Basically almost all the outdoor seating and almost all the indoor seating was occupied and there was a constant line. This in my mind was a good sign. I'm glad we came here for the vibes and we were actually able to score an outdoor table which was perfect given the nice 70s weather. I ordered a veggie breakfast burrito and must say that the thing was tiny! I'm pretty sure I ate the whole thing in about 4 normal bites. It was okay tasting, but note to self... I need to get something else next time. My friends did like what they ordered though which was great. I'll be back again to try something else!
