Civil Coffee - Los Angeles

How do you create a coffee shop that caters to the Highland Park crowd? Civil has the checklist: boxes of fresh coffee beans for $25, check! A drink menu that makes me veer from my staple cortado, check! Two random bowling balls next to the cream and sugar, check! I love this place, love their coffee, love the adorable young lady taking the orders and most of all love the Figueroa!

One of the best Kougn aman I've ever had. Came for the coffee but the baked goods were the real star of this spot. There is a parking lot in the back that's only $0.50 per hour and if you're lucky you can find some street parking. There are a good number of seats and a really nice interior and ambiance but it was completely full and we stopped by on a Saturday morning. There's also a patio in the back with some covered seating if the weather is nice. Services great and they have some signature coffee drinks that looks interesting and unique. We opted for the seasonal pumpkin spice latte and espressotonic. Drinks were a little sweeter than I would have liked but were great.

Cool and spacious cafe. The interior definitely looks very nice. Coffee was good. Would be interested in coming back to try the bites.

I was in such a cranky mood when I got here, and this place legitimately turned my day around. Great atmosphere (TONS of seating, especially outside), the best ham and cheese croissant of my life, and an incredible coffee that was smooth and perfectly not-too-sweet (I got an iced Figueroa with whole milk). I will absolutely be coming here the next time I’m in LA.

Really great coffee, food and atmosphere BUT some of these employees are pretty awful with customer service. Every time I come in it’s like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed and it’s not me.
