I worked in Tremont for 4 weeks, and this cute little coffee shop became a part of my morning ritual from day 1. To truly appreciate Civilization:
-Embrace the hipster atmosphere
-Bring cash, not credit (though, they have an ATM. And if you can't use that, they'll write down your name and you'll pay next time. Pretty cool)
-Try the shortbread cookies (!!!)
-Notice the sizes (the small is very small. Not necessarily a bad thing!)
-Love the prices!
If I lived here, I think I'd be at Civilization ALL the time. It has a great community-centric atmosphere, delicious coffee, free WiFi, free nearby street parking, and doesn't break the bank. The staff have been nothing but friendly. I'm really going to miss it. So check it out if you get a chance! :)
