Built in 1888, the historic Milwaukee River Flushing Station is now home to Colectivo Lakefront, a unique cafe serving sandwiches, soups and salads, plus freshly brewed coffee, espresso, tea, and bakery items made daily from scratch. In the summertime, our expansive patio beer garden is host to Florentine Opera, Musica del Lago & the Friday Nite Music Series as well as weekly Tuesday Night Trivia.
This cafe features a sunny interior decked out in colorful repurposed materials - be sure to check out our giant mixing bowl planters! Fully operable garage doors open to face Milwaukee Ave., one of Chicago’s most popular cycling routes.
