"A neighborhood Highland Park spot noted for its chocolate-forward mocha, offering a comforting, classic espresso-chocolate option." - Julie Wolfson
"This cozy coffee shop now features outdoor seating. Located in Highland Park, Civil Coffee has everything from socially distant picnic tables to an extensive menu of teas to specialty drinks like the Caramel Turmeric Sweetie, made with espresso, caramel butter, turmeric spice, and milk, as well as a variety of breakfast snacks. Open 7am-5pm." - kat hong
"On the back patio of Civil Coffee in Highland Park, Lin held Dumplins’ very first public pop-up in May 2021 after a friend advised her to “grab a cooler and go,” and that debut drew upwards of 50 customers—an early sign of the concept’s community appeal." - Andrew Watman
"Civil Coffee’s original Highland Park location is the most spacious of its three branches, and a great spot to kill an hour with a nice latte. The tall ceilings make it feel bright and airy, and there’s a shaded outdoor patio for stretching your legs. Stop by for a brunch-y meal before 2pm, including a solid avocado toast with labneh, mint, and a mound of peas that adds creaminess (it’s also on Bub & Grandma’s sourdough, which is half the reason it’s good)." - Sylvio Martins
"Civil Coffee, founded by brothers Alex and Alan Morales, is opening its third location at the Sportsmen’s Lodge complex in Studio City. The new 900-square-foot space, modeled after Mexico City open-air cafes, will feature a coffee bar and kitchen. Chef Mezraim Llanez will serve breakfast burritos, brunch sandwiches, and grab-and-go items. The outpost will offer two Valley-exclusive drinks: a matcha tonic and the Vanilla Oaty." - Karen Palmer
