Collective Espresso

"I have been to this location a few times over the last few months, and today was another lovely experience! The barista was incredibly friendly and kind, and made a delicious americano. I got there right as the pastries came in, the blueberry danish is delicious!"

"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!"

"Cozy environment and very good coffee. The baristas are super nice and friendly. Though the shop locates in a small alley, you may miss it when passing by. Will come again."

"Amazing coffee! The barista was kind and helpful. It was also synchronized an interesting spot but I loved it. Very much felt like you stumbled upon a unique experience. The all windows and seating inside and out was fun. Loved loved loved it!"

"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"
