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.

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!

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.

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've been coming to this cafe since the day they opened. The coffee is good it just all highly depends what you get. I mainly get their brewed coffee and it's standard like all the other coffee places. What makes this place shine is that they have 2 floors. So, if you are looking for a place to sit and work this is a good spot. They also have outdoor seating so you can bring your pets out with you. Overall, this is a good place to get some coffee with or without company.

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.
