Colectivo Coffee Logan Square
2261 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“This Logan Square gem draws you in with its lush hanging plants and airy wooden aesthetic that feels both design-forward and genuinely inviting for hours of work or coffee dates. Beyond solid espresso drinks and pastries, they're known for their smoothies, and the generous summer patio transforms the experience entirely—plus thoughtfully placed outlets (even under window tables) make it a laptop-friendly favorite. The vibe strikes that sweet spot between productive workspace and casual neighborhood hangout, making it easy to see why regulars keep coming back.”

A charming cafe in Logan Square with lush hanging plants that give the space a super unique feel. I worked here for a few hours and loved the vibe - great for productivity and people-watching. The cardamom latte was well spiced and balanced and genuinely made my afternoon.
A very interesting and hip space. The sitting areas are all wooden tables and benches, and I prefer cafes to be a bit cozier with couches, with a warmer or more community-oriented atmosphere. Lots of outlets though. The tea I ordered was a bit bland. The foods do look quite tasty though and I am interested in trying them next time.
Normally go to the one in wicker park but for a chance to try this one out. Space is a bit tighter and there's less seating available indoors, but during the summer there a much larger patio. Menu is just as solid and employees were friendly. Worth going out making it your regular go to option.
I often come here for the smoothies of course also coffee and pastries but I find myself come here for the smoothies more. The place has indoor and outdoor seating and paid parking in front and around. Usually they are fast making the drinks and when its nice outside they open the large doors so you can enjoy the weather without seating under the sun. I like their decorations, very colorful and happy. I will keep coming back, feel free to come on your bike since there is a bike lane right in front.
Cute & chill place to get some work done or for some coffee dates. Outlets all over the place (if you’re seated along the window, look underneath the table for the outlet.) Currently they discount you .25 cents if you bring in your own mug for your beverages! They also had some indie rock playlist while I was there that I enjoyed :) Two unisex bathrooms in the back I was a bit concerned with the lack of upkeep with cleaning/wiping down tables in between patrons that are coming and going. Good menu with a variety of beverages, food, more fulfilling meals, & merchandise. They have a crate with games & such for people to enjoy while at the coffee shop which I thought was pretty neat.
