Civil Goat

"Show up to the original location of Civil Goat out in Cuernavaca and there’s a 90% chance that you’ll see Butters the goat roaming the grounds. Don’t worry, he’s friendly. And if that wasn’t enough to sell you on a visit here—or you happen to be visiting the locations by Campus or in Cherrywood—maybe the small, but well-crafted menu of coffee, espresso, and tea will do the trick. You’re not really here for novelty lattes, you’re just here for a good, reliable cortado or a creamy nitro cold brew. Besides, isn’t the goat novelty enough? " - nicolai mccrary

"The first time we ordered the avocado and crunchy garlic salad at Civil Goat on Manor Road, we immediately came back the next two days to get it again. Once the staff started to recognize us, we headed to Civil Goat’s two other locations in the Austin area to throw off the scent. It’s a simple salad, mostly made up of arugula and cherry tomatoes with a lemon shallot vinaigrette, but the soft-boiled egg, avocado, quinoa, and crunchy garlic all give it some great texture that makes it feel like a light, but balanced lunch. And if, for some reason, we haven’t already sold you on this salad, Civil Goat also offers a broad menu of toasts, acai bowls, and breakfast plates to accompany the house-roasted coffees and teas.  " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion

"Civil Goat uses its own roasts, which can be found at all three of its locations. But only the Cuernavaca spot is home to the shop’s mascot, Butters the goat." - Darcie Duttweiler

"Civil Goat is a coffee shop on Manor Road in East Austin, with two other locations in the Austin area—there’s one in the Cuernavaca neighborhood, and another by campus. And just like at the other two locations, the drink menu features house-roasted coffees and espressos, plus a small food menu of pastries, toasts, salads, and acai bowls.  " - Nicolai McCrary
