Very cool coffee house, co-work space, and cafe. We had delicious breakfast items and coffee in a relaxing cool atmosphere. Definitely will be back.

Food was decent, coffee options where great. Service was good. I would like to spend more time here although the tables were dirty.

My friends and I were visiting from Florida and the atmosphere was so peaceful and calm. Great for students or business people to be productive. Most of the food is prepared in house and the coffee was delicious. Prices are reasonable for how good the food is. The employees were so sweet and always doing something like cleaning the tables. Would definitely visit this cafe if I ever return to NC!!!

This place is such a hidden gem. They have so many options. Tasty empanadas. I appreciate that I was about to get a side salad with my custom-made breakfast sandwich. The coffee was amazing, too.

Andrés was excellent! The food was great, coffees delicious and fantastic atmosphere.The empanadas GREAT!

Love this place! Not only is the coffee AND food great, but the atmosphere and staff are amazing! The staff treats you like family here and even remembers faces. As a customer, this makes me feel appreciated and seen. The staff even goes above and beyond to help accommodate any special requests you may have to make your experience the best. And I can’t forget to mention the good prices!If you’re looking for a GOOD Christian-owned, local to Matthews coffee house, this is the place! You will love it.

The service here is wonderful plus the food and coffee is superb. The whole vibe of this place is very inviting and the argentinian empanadas are my favorite!

I ordered the breakfast sammie via Door Dash. I’m so glad I decided on this place! Absolutely delicious. You can tell everything is made with fresh ingredients. The parfait was a little sour for my liking but with the added granola it was still very good. I will definitely be trying more things from their menu. Super affordable pricing as well!

Service was poor, coffee was mediocre, and the food was average, but cold when served. Lots of room for improvement. Would not revisit the experience. One star or less.

DJed a Halloween party for a friend and had a great time! Great venue!

Wow! Made my first visit to Collective Cafe today and will be returning! That was the best Cobb Salad I’ve ever eaten. Spoke to a gentleman while waiting for my salad (forgot to ask his name) and he made me more excited to return. Such a nice variety of healthy and not so healthy items to.choose from.The chicken was delicious, greens super fresh, salad dressing just yummy.

Fun vibe here! Enjoyable coffee. My friend had the chicken salad and said it was excellent!! I had a blueberry cream cheese croissant. It was ok. You can also rent the cafe out for events and they also do catering here. Great place!

Really good food. The service is wonderful and the atmosphere is relaxing.

Very friendly staff. The have gluten free bread too! The food is so fresh and delish! Be patient because they make it to order.

Super chill spot! Great local coffee and tasty brunch. Lots of room and options for tables, comfy chairs, and bartops. Wont be able to get here too often except on Saturdays due to their current hours, but ill definitely be frequenting it when i can.The staff are very friendly and patient. We spoke with, I believe, the owner or maybe main manager? Very informative and hungry for feedback. These are good things!!!

I have not been to the physical restaurant, but I order their food on Door Dash often. Everything I have tried from here has been amazing! The quantity and quality of the food is well worth what you pay. They have a great selection of menu items, and for a foodie what more could you ask for!

The name of the sandwich is Generous Turkey Sandwich. Maybe there was a turkey shortage because I got half a slice broken into pieces and spread out. Literally called Generous Turkey.

We visited for the first time today for brunch, and it was good! The atmosphere was really nice with lots of room inside and outside. The coffee was GREAT, and the food was pretty good but nothing special. We will definitely come back!

HOW HAVE I NOT BEEN HERE?! If youre seeking a quiet workspace space with top of the line coffee, plus with staff who actually understand the craft of coffee, and outstanding food YOU NEED TO GET HERE! Im officially making myself a regular.Let me also add the staff here are Chick-Fil-A level of customer service!

Breakfast was out of this world!! Staff was really friendly and nice. The food was super good and came out quick. Will be coming back for sure!!

I like it. Good service. Good food. Good coffee. Wish it was a little less expensive

Updated review: I used to really enjoy coming to this place to work and chill. Really loved their coffee and the vibe. Until recently, for some reason, their staff really did not know what is in their food. I asked about the ingredients in three items on their menu, none of the staff knew what’s in them. I ended up getting a chocolate parfait which the staff confirmed to me that was made of yogurt. It was not yogurt. It’s chocolate jello with whipped cream and I ended up having intense nausea and stomach ache afterwards because of the jello. Will not visit again.

Great coffee. Kind staff. Relaxing atmosphere.

Great coffee and food! Friendly and fast service and great atmosphere. Really the perfect place to work on school, art, or anything else.

Theyre a long way from where I live, but the food was excellent it was worth the drive . I ordered my food to go. They had my order right just the way l want it .The customer service was excellent. The young lady was nice and friendly and answered my questions, because this was the first time I ever been to this restaurant. I will go again when this pandemic is over so I can go inside and sit down and eat because the atmosphere seems very nice and pleasant.

Delicious food, good coffee, wonderful atmosphere. Nice hidden gem in the area!

Very cozy and welcoming atmosphere as soon as you walk in. Staff was extremely friendly. I ordered a yogurt parfait, an iced coffee, and a sandwich which i cant remember the name of but very similar to a caprice sandwich. Everything was delicious, the yogurt parfait was creamy with plenty of fruit with some granola and a touch of what tasted like local wildflower honey, the iced coffee actually tasted of coffee instead of sugar syrup and wasnt 99% ice either, the sandwich was perfectly balanced in flavor and texture, they used fresh mozzarella that was soft and delicate but flavorful with fresh basil and very soft and ripe tomatoes. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

This is an excellent restaurant nothing but great people and the owner he is such a wonderful person checking up on his staff and loyal customers!! And the food is always on point ❤️🙌 this is a must !!! I love their empanadas and their tenders. I have always had a great experience with the people and food 🙌❤️❤️ I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great food, friendly people, amazing atmosphere. You can go for breakfast, lunch, a coffee or just to hang out. Good place to work or read. Highly recommend. Oh, and I love the daily specials.

Newer coffee/bistro shop. Good food. Wi-fi atmosphere. Clean bathrooms. Not too noisy. Great for breakfast or lunch. Shuffle board table. Good place to visit with friends. Reasonable prices. Paper plates/clean-up after yourself. Recommend.

The staff is super friendly, clean place and the most amazing empanadas in town, cafe bom bom delicious other food looks really good, will come back to try other items from the menu.

This place is a hidden gem for now. I love everything about it. The vibes, coffee, food and co-working space. Im excited to hang and work out of here more. Its a bonus thats it 3 minutes from the gym I workout at too!

Very nice, comfortable cafe to hang out. Comfortable couches and chairs, quiet atmosphere, great service. I can definitely see myself meeting a friend here or doing work on my computer.

Atmosphere was awful as was the food and the service was slow. The cook didnt wear a beard guard. Food was also ala carte which caused our lunch for two to be $28. Would not recommend.

Had lunch and I am thinking this is my new lunch place. The atmosphere and food and associates was Awesome. So glad i had a friend to tell me about this place.

If you are looking for a hometown feel, great people and wonderful food, this is the place. I have never had a bad experience coming here and look forward to every time I am able to visit. A must stop.

Excellent. Great sandwiches and really nice people. The empanadas are great!

This is my first time here and my friend loves this place. We had the Chai and Caramel oat milk lattes. They were very good and the service is amazing as well. The barista that has taken our orders is super nice and friendly as well as the owner. They have wifi, comfortable seating, and a chill vibe. I highly recommend this café. :)

Very good food and great service. Amazing atmosphere

Ive stopped by the Collective Cafe a few times since they opened for brunch, coffee, and a community yoga class. Each time, Ive been very impressed with the friendliness of their staff, the delicious food, and the wonderful ambiance. I will be using their cafe for all of my upcoming coffee dates and highly recommend to my friends & family.

Hidden gem. Welcoming space, baristas are very accommodating and hospitable with groups. Coffees great, but the delicious food is what sets it apart. I would definitely grab breakfast here, the Fill Me Up wrap is consistently delicious. Fast internet.

This is such a perfect cafe! Im so glad to have discovered it. Highly recommend eating here and they have delicious milkshakes. I am so excited for them to open an outdoor area and a park!

This place really is a hidden gem. I found them via grubhub, and I order often. Their drinks frappes are excellent, and their 1lb chicken salad is worth every penny. I am only leaving 3 stars bc the last two times I ordered a side has been missing, and the food just hasn’t seemed as fresh. Specifically the breakfast sammie on croissant which is normally my favorite. This recent time I tried the cinnamon rolls and they were very dry and didn’t seem fresh. I am not going to give up on them yet, and hoping for a better experience next time.

Very unique concept to meeting people and have meeting or simply workspace for a few hours

Such a cute vibe, amazing food and a great idea! Staff was phenomenal!

The brightly colored menu and general hipster aesthetic kind of led me to believe that the food was going more nutrition forward. It was basically bacon, eggs and feta cheese being promoted as health food.

Fantastic atmosphere and the coffee is great! The owner is really welcoming and passionate and the rest of the team is wonderful as well. I just came for coffee today but the food looks great. I will definitely be back for coffee and a meal!

Nice scene to relax, eat, and drink some good coffee. The make your own omelette was delicious. Highly recommended.

I really like the atmosphere, but I really hated the coffee. Id come back to try the food or other drinks, but its a shame the coffee isnt up to par.

Very comfortable, clean atmosphere. Theyre also really good to their customers, and the coffee is good. I highly recommend!

I love this place! Friendly staff, great food (healthy) and very clean.

Associates were very nice and the food was delicious! Love the strawberry smoothie.

Presley makes a fabulous slushy, shes the best!!

The staff is so friendly! I love going here for coffee and lunch. I highly recommend getting their empanadas because they’re the best I’ve had!! Inside the shop is adorable too :)

Absolutely delicious, perfect and large empanadas.

The service was ellecent as always. My wife enjoyed her veggie omelette. Great atmosphere always enjoy the experience.

Great for breakfast delivery.

I haven’t eaten in the restaurant yet, but completely enjoyed the dinner Briley Apartments provided to the residents tonight. food was excellent and the Ladies in the leasing office have told me how great the rest of the menu is. I’ll definitely be checking it out in person!!

Great environment, friendly staff

Good if you like Jesus, otherwise just fine

The best... The food is really good... The staff is nice and polite... Love this cafe...

This is my new favorite spot for breakfast or lunch! The atmosphere is quaint and welcoming, the staff is friendly, helpful and fast, and the food is AMAZING! The menu has so many options, it’s hard to decide, and there are lots of healthy choices too. I’m looking forward to enjoying the outside patio once the temperatures are cooler. It’s a hidden gem in Matthews!

As foodies that like something different/unique and healthy, we absolutely feel in love with this place. Not only is the food absolutely delicious and high-quality, it’s the perfect quick meal choice that the entire family loves. Also the staff is awesome!

The Collective Cafe is a great, relaxing place. I really enjoy the atmosphere, employees, and food. Will definitely continue to come here!

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Do yourself a favor and buy some empanadas!

Delicious, great service, comfortable atmosphere…

My wife and I had lunch there yesterday. We both got their Collective burger. Very good meat and well seasoned. Great steak fries with the burger. Located behind Ridge Church. We recommend you give them a try!

Good place and woker.

Friendly service; entertaining decor; good food.

Honestly my favorite place in all of South Charlotte! Can’t express how friendly and welcoming they were. Staff is amazing, made me feel like a valued customer. I haven’t even started on the coffee and the food menu ;)

Great food, good coffee, nice ambiance

Food is great. Fabulous staff!

Really impressed with this place. The food is delicious, well made and the prices are great. Get the iced mocha!

Great place to relax, enjoy meaningful conversation, and enjoy a pastry.

HAILEY was quick to accommodate! I drink decaf after 1 cup and i had already had a regular cup today. Besides brewing a pot of decaf just for me, she also went and found a few flavored creamers for me. AWESOME experience

Fantastic place. Foos is excellent! Staff very friendly and helpful!

Great food, great atmosphere, and friendly staff and owner. Id toy havent tried it, you should.

I had a last minute meeting and ran into the collective cafe to rent a work space for an hour. The environment was incredibly inviting, the staff was very helpful and the coffee was fresh and tasty. Thank you collective cafe team for a great experience.

This cafe is such an amazing atmosphere with FANTASTIC food!

Great atmosphere for work and yummy food! Lots of seating and the staff is very friendly. 10/10

Great atmosphere, the people there are fantastic, excellent food and coffee. Definitely recommend.

This place is so cool! Great environment to study or do work and the food is on point. They even have a ping pong table and Pac-Man to decompress with. Several different rooms and even a phone booth to record podcasts in. Not to mention they are connected to a great church. Will definitely be back.

Empanadas were awesome!

Amazing! The food and drinks are scrumptious!!! Amazing service and very friendly staff! 100% recommend!!! Love it here!!!

The food was amazing and the staff was friendly

Super friendly staff and a great atmosphere!

Great food and service

Superb

The staff was very welcoming. They said the generous turkey sandwich was their favorite, so I ordered it with sourdough bread and it was amazing as well as the crackerjack carmel latte on ice.
