Crema's Take

Civil Pour Coffee + Beer is a bustling Dallas hangout where specialty coffee drinks and creative latte art take center stage, anchored by an espresso program that clearly gets serious attention from the team. The spacious interior strikes that sweet spot between a quick caffeine stop and a proper third place—it's where you'll find laptop warriors, friend groups, and casual work meetings all coexisting comfortably, though expect a relaxed pace that honors the craft rather than a drive-through speed. There's a distinctive dual identity here with beer on tap alongside the coffee, and while food is more casual affair than standout, the warm vibe and genuine engagement from staff make it feel like a place where you're meant to linger.

Standard hangout coffee house. No expecting a 2 min coffee but also not 15 mins either. I spoke with the team here and learned their printers went down and our ticket was missed. I can understand that completely as I work at starbucks. Staff here very friendly and did give my kiddos stickers so I really appreciate that aspect. I didnt have any food but the coffee was amazing!!!! Chain was delish as well and im not much of a chai person. Def would return.

I have visited Civil Pour Coffee + Beer multiple times. It can get very crowded during the day as many people use it as their WFH getaway. They typically have a wide variety of coffee, beer, and pastry options.

I really like the vibe of this cafe. They have good coffee (and cute latte art), simple food options and big enough inside sitting area where you can meet with friends, have a casual work meeting, take your laptop and work or simply enjoy a cup of coffee. I find it a little expensive though.

The drip coffee was great, but food subpar. This is a pic of my avocado Swiss with added turkey. The fact that avocado is in the name of the sandwich is atrocious. There’s the equivalent of one SLICE of avocado on the entire sandwich. Go for coffee only. No to the food.

I hate it when I forget to finish a review before I leave. I was so upset I quickly did the bare minimum before just to have placeholder. Let me try and remember this and share more details. This was my first time visiting and I loved the vibe of the place right out the gate. The decor, lay out and overall atmosphere checked all my coffee shop happy boxes and I felt good walking in, like “yeah, this is the spot. Let’s go” It was fairly full. It had a good amount of folks, laptops out most punching keys with different forms of headphones on. Some business interview meetings or work meetings dispersed through out. Everyone enjoying the beautiful sunny day with various beverages and foods between them. I love how the front wall of windows allows the natural sun light to flood the space. I walked to the register to start looking over the menus when I was greeted by a wonderful human being (insert her forgotten name here)😭. I explained it was my first time asked what should I try. I had been eyeing the menus. I had a short list and when (she who cannot be named) mentioned what she had for breakfast today, it was an immediate affirmation of where my heart was already leaning towards: The Avacado Swiss and sriracha mayo sandwich, add the turkey. Yup. The toasted bun was nice and crunchy from being toasted and that avocado and cheese with the turkey… 🤤 I took my pour over coffee (#3 dub harp bowl?), learned where the 1/2&1/2 was, then proceeded plop my earbuds in to join the other key punchers for the next 90 minutes jamming out. A lot of plugs and WiFi for 3 hours was perfect set up. That was one of the best coffees I’ve had in a really long while. The blueberry taste was a fantastic addition and I was honestly surprised I liked it as much as I did. Blueberry isn’t usually my thing. The sandwich was 😘🤌 So good I ordered another Togo to take for my wife. While that was cooking I had a lovely pint of the #24? 23?? 🤔🤷😮‍💨 Its been a long 24 hours and this is why I try to do my reviews right away. 🤣 Anyways, it was really tasty and another solid suggestion for desert before I left! I judge a lot of places by what their staff recommends when asked. If you can’t tell your customs what you like to eat at your own place of work, then I question if you eat there at all? Don’t you like to eat your own food? Then I’m like, “Is it because it’s nasty in the kitchen or just bad food? Do they know something I don’t? Is it both?!?” None of these things however popped up and everyone had the kind of genuine friendly custom service that builds relationships and return business, which I really appreciate in whatever establishment I find myself in. All three of the staff were extremely friendly and very pleasant to spend the morning with. I feel horrible only remembering JoJo’s name who helped with my to-go(go). I did honestly find it amusing when I realized why my 45 year old brain remembered her name when I really thought about it. I blame the power puff girls. The whole experienced just elevated my already awesome start to the day and made me happier. Thank you! I wish i worked closer. I look forward to the guilty pleasure of those rare times where availability and proximity align, allowing to stop for future visits. Ps. I wish the Freda picture was local art for sale. I legit looked for a for sale sign on the wall. My wife would have loved it, it would go so well in our living room! Now the hunt begins! I’ll update my review with proper names to give credit where credit is due. My shamefully poor memory is no excuse for not leaving a more detailed review I felt however. This is going to bug me all week until we come back out. Was it Harlow? Uggg.
