Civilization is a nice neighborhood joint for lazy Sundays. It also serves the distinct purpose of somewhere to continue hanging out when you have to give up your table at Lucky's to make way for the hordes in line.
The inside is dark and cozy, which is lovely in winter. But in summer I suspect you'll want to sit outside. Seating is cramped, but it isn't too hard to find open seats. Had a latte and red velvet cake, both of which were delicious. I liked watching everyone reading the Sunday paper and I imagine a lot of local Tremonsters who know each other hang out there.
I'm an admitted Starbucks addict, but once in awhile, it is nice to go places like this with character. Time just seemed to melt away as we sipped our coffees.
