"Collective Coffee is one of the best hidden gems in Northside tucked just off the main road. There are a couple of small indoor tables and a cozy sunlit nook in the back. The coffee is seriously good - there is a range of single-origin options, a dedicated pour-over menu, and specialty beans for sale. I went with a macchiato, which was was intensely rich and smooth. A must-visit for coffee lovers if you are in the area!"

"I love this little cafe! While I have ro admit, the space to place order is a little tight. The staff always manages the line of customers quite well! The staff is always very kind, courteous and accommodating. They work well in the space provided. The cafe is always very clean and orderly. The coffee is delicious. I really love the outdoor space during the spring and summer. It's a nice little hideaway in Northside. Definitely recommend visiting this spot! Upon writing this review, I learned that there are a few other locations. I am looking forward to visiting their stores in OTR & NKY!"

"Such a cute hidden space with kind staff and delish drinks at reasonable prices. Limited seating inside and outside with some chairs being more stable than others. Great for a drink and walk around the neighborhood though !"

"What a spot! Me and my wife stopped here during our week long breakfast and coffee "crawl" to different locations each day. First off, it is very easy to walk past and miss the entrance to this incredible coffee shop. It's a small sign up high "Collective Espresso" and a an alleyway type path back that will have you second guessing if you should enter or not. Do enter! It opens up into an awesome landscape of outdoor seating, and an indoor area with a glass roof pulling in the natural sun light, and full of plants. Serenity! Me and my wife had a latte, cortado, and the pistachio Croissant. The coffee and pastries are unreal! The gentleman working this location was very friendly, talkative to each person that walked in, and we just absolutely loved the vibes here. We will definitely be back! Please do yourself a favor and stop here!"

"This little hidden secret of North Side has to be the most peaceful coffee shop I have ever been to. Tucked back in, basically, an alley way (completely safe) I honestly thought I was following a sign from 1875 to an abandoned building. It is THAT hidden. You have to know about the place to find it...which is why I’m writing this review. SO MORE PEOPLE CAN FIND IT!!! I absolutely love that characteristic. Very community driven home type of atmosphere. Very chill. The coffee is roasted fresh DAILY. That’s unbeatable. And honestly, is WORTHY of being priced at $4.50 for a large Red Eye. Competitors in the industry DO NOT roast their coffee daily. Which makes the cost they charge illegitimate. I didn’t realize all that until I tasted FRESHLY ROASTED coffee beans ground and brewed for the first time in my life. Thank you! This experience meant a lot to me. I have just moved back to Cincinnati and sort of needed a reminder of why our town is awesome. Thank you"
