Colectivo Coffee Evanston
716 Church St, Evanston, IL
Crema's Take
“This Evanston spot radiates genuine warmth through genuinely smiling staff and a lively, character-filled space that draws students and travelers alike with its ambient lighting and abundant greenery. You'll find thoughtfully prepared traditional drinks and a solid breakfast menu here, plus knowledgeable baristas like Jason who actually take time to guide you through your options—making it equally suited for a focused work session or lingering conversation over matcha tea. It's the kind of place that feels unhurried and inviting, where you're encouraged to settle in and stay awhile.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Opens early. Family friendly.
