Located at the historic corner of Church & Sherman, the Colectivo Coffee café in Evanston marries local nostalgia with modern design. Located in what was once a 1960s soda fountain, the café has been lovingly restored with tall storefront windows, high ceilings, signature girder-style awnings, and abundant natural light.

The spacious, 2,600-square-foot café features handmade tables, custom wall finishes, lush prehistoric plants, and operable windows that invite fresh air. Patrons can enjoy premium espresso, drip coffee, and teas alongside sandwiches, soups, café fare, and bakeries from Troubadour.

Colectivo also serves Nitro Cold Brew and Keg Co. beers. With public Wi‑Fi and a creative-infused ambiance, it’s the perfect spot to relax, work, or gather. The design-forward cafe, community-minded staff, and quality offerings make Colectivo a beloved anchor in Evanston’s cultural and culinary scene.

Colectivo’s roastery is headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the fresh-roasted beans are delivered here regularly to ensure you receive the freshest cup of coffee. And If you can’t make it out to Colectivo Coffee, don’t worry! They have a subscription service, and you can always order their beans online!
