| - Civilization is a nice, quiet, and friendly coffee shop where you can grab a bit of food and get some reasonable coffee. The service is friendly and the few times I've been there, it has always been moderately busy with a few open tables. There is a reasonable selection of coffee accompaniments, but I must admit, I've never gotten any.
The only reason I find it hard to rate this place better is the coffees I've had here is nice, but with the crazy number of coffee shops these days, I feel to justify an above average rating there needs to be something truly unique about the place. Without latte art, special flavors, and coffee that was good, but not incredible, I find Civilization to be a place that is a good place to meet friends local to the area or if you need a place to hole up for a bit.
Bottom line, it's a decent coffee shop when you want to stay local and get some work done. However, for a special coffee treat, I'd recommend one of the others in Cleveland that might be slightly pricier and probably more crowded.
