| - I first discovered Civilization while exploring Cleveland to look for an apartment. This place was (in part) my reason for living in Tremont.
I would love to say that this place has a "no-airs" feel, but that's not entirely true. It is, however, a place that TRIES to make their customers feel as though they are in a place with no airs. If that makes any sense.
The coffee is really good, although I'm a bit peeved that they never refill their flavor syrups (yes, I admit, I'm pretty much singlehandedly responsible for using up all of their almond flavor syrup). They suggested Amaretto to me, and then, I used that one up too. Now I'm on Vanilla. Hopefully they won't run out, because they still haven't refilled the other ones.
I like to come here and study or read, although at times, loud-talkers make that harder.
The thing that makes this review 4 stars instead of 3 is their selection of mouth-watering scones. I love a good scone, and Civilization does it the way I prefer: a bit flaky and dense, not at all too sweet and "dessert" like (like the ones at Lucky's), but more of a mid-morning or late afternoon treat...and it goes great with the coffee.
