Civil Coffee DTLA

I'm a bit skeptical because when I went, almost an hour before closing time, the cafe was completely empty and the staff was cleaning, which gave a strange atmosphere. The staff was however every friendly and nice. I ordered the matcha with almond milk and lavender (Liquid Gold) and the lavender taste was so strong that it was not possible to say, except for the colour, that there was matcha in it.. so the drink was a bit of a disappointment.

The coffee is lovely, which is at the front and center of any cafe review. The place is impeccably clean, but so much so that there’s almost an unwelcome vibe. The baristas were nice enough, but we ordered our drinks to stay, and were given plastic to-go cups which is a major faux pas in my view. It makes it seem as though they want you to leave sooner than later. Overall this spot is solid, I just think it needs a little more soul.

I was looking for a nice cafe to chill and read at, and I found the perfect spot at Civil. I got an iced almond milk latte, and it tasted very light and great! The price was pretty standard ($5-7) given that it’s in DTLA. The space is really open with plenty of natural light and seating available (and outlets too, which is a big plus). The music was also great and not too loud or distracting, making it a perfect spot to work. The workers were super friendly and welcoming; one of them kindly even brought out a glass of water while I was seated. Overall I loved the vibes, and I’ll definitely be back here again!

Nice place , good view of the busy streets of l.a , spacious, quiet , nice decor instagram worthy , the cashier was nice I brought a apple pastries for about 6.00 it was pretty good just doors down from my model call which was convenient. There's a lot of light in the building . Parking sucks, meter parking , street parking , I didn't get the water you see in the picture from there

Absolutely in love with their Honey Hojicha Flat White and for the ones who don’t like sweet but love flavor, try out their iced dark mocha ganache latte. Additional to their breakfast burritos and fancy toast, civil coffee serves pastries from sugar no bloom bakery . The sugarbloom bakery ham and cheese croissant with the tangy cornichon is oh so delicious . Love the light that shines through through the #coffeeshop .

I stopped in here on 06/30/22 in the morning! The vibe here is at 1000! The guy at the register was so cool super friendly and you can tell all the regulars love him! The coffee was amazing! I got the solid gold which was also amazing! I’d highly recommend stopping in!

The coffee is good. The owner is unpleasant. I'm a local and I've been coming here over the years and have always been offered a free drip coffee when I bought beans. But when I bought beans today and asked about the free coffee, the owner got super salty with me and said, "We don't do that here," and then tried to gaslight me that I'd been going to the Highland Park location (I've never been there.) So instead of just being chill and friendly, he got confrontational, made a big deal of giving me the coffee and made me feel unwelcome and unappreciated as a customer. Bad vibes all around.

cute little cafe walking distance from my airbnb! got the iced matcha with whole milk and a ham & cheese croissant matcha was clean and not too gritty, but the matcha flavor itself wasn’t very strong. the croissant was SO good, but wish it could’ve been warmed up
