I've only gotten coffee at Civilization a few times.
The coffee is great - I'll give them that. They make a good brew (both iced, and hot) and they know how to make espresso drinks. My main gripe with Civilization was the vibe the baristas gave off.
Each time I went, the barista was either a short brunette woman or a taller blond guy. Both took their time before acknowledging me, were very short with me, and generally unhelpful when I asked for recommendations. The time they close is also incorrect on Yelp!
**They do not take credit/debit cards**
The atmosphere of Civilizations is nice. It's quiet, it looks like they have a lot of good baked foods. There are a few weird vents under some of the tables, making it very chilly to sit in a few places, so be on the lookout for that. There are some nice chairs on the front patio
