Colectivo Ravenswood

I recently discovered Colectivo Ravenswood, and I couldn’t be happier that they’ve opened a branch so close to my home. From the moment I stepped inside, I was thoroughly impressed. The shop boasts two floors with plenty of cozy seating areas, spotless restrooms, and an inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The staff delivers excellent service, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. I’ve already visited twice, and each time the place has been buzzing with customers—a testament to its popularity. The coffee is exceptional, and the overall experience makes me thrilled to have this gem in my neighborhood. Thank you for bringing such a wonderful coffee shop to our community!

Finally made it to this new location, which is conveniently located on Lawrence near the Ravenswood Metra stop. I was lured in by the sign advertising a free latte if you download the app, but I never did get a free latte. In any case, the space is large and inviting, with lots of people working from the shop. There are lots of fun different drink flavors, and snacks to eat. I like how they have sparkling water on tap as well.

The staff at this establishment do their best and today was no exception. While being very patient with a frustrating situation and potentially volatile customer, the hard work of the latte was almost instantly spilled. The staff didn't make a peep, just got to cleaning up. I know how exasperating that can be as a service worker. They did phenomenally and I hope they know their social graces are seen and the labor understood.

Cozy location with a solid menu and good coffee. There's ample seating with a quieter upstairs area as well. Very good spot for studying or working remotely.

I do love Colectvo a lot! Really good coffee and snacks, but it took 15 minutes to get my drink one time, and then today I got here with ample enough time to catch my train, but I had to leave because my drink still wasn’t out…I hate being a narc but it was really disappointing.

DO NOT get the bagel. You have to put the cream cheese on yourself. The menu says everything but it’s plain. It’s good, but it’s disappointing and I won’t be getting it again. 5 stars because I still like this place and the other breakfasts I’ve had are great.

Tried the orange blueberry cold brew. Loved the orange cream flavor of the cream but mixed with bitterness of coffee I would not order it again. The atmosphere is nice. The decor is bright and happy, and there’s lots of tables in the upstairs loft area. My partner got a brewed coffee and said it was solid.

Coffee is great! Need to add hooks in bathroom. I can’t leave my stuff at a table when I’m alone so I had to put it on the floor in the bathroom….gross. WiFi is probably the worst I have experienced at any Chicago cafe.
