Civil Coffee
5629 N Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA
Crema's Take
“Civil Coffee is a Highland Park gem where thoughtfully crafted espresso drinks like their signature Arroyo—featuring an unexpectedly exceptional lavender syrup—anchor a menu that surprises with quality breakfast fare, including legitimately spicy chilaquiles that rival dedicated brunch spots. The original location radiates a relaxed neighborhood warmth with attentive baristas and beautiful interior design, making it equally compelling whether you're lingering over a slow pour or grabbing a perfectly balanced iced oat milk latte for a quick catch-up.”

This is the 2nd time I have asked for easy ice and my drink is literally half full. Some like a lot of ice and hardly any drink, I don’t! I like the drink and less ice. But come on now! Both drinks look like someone drank out of them. Like why is it so hard to give customers what they paid for? I didn’t pay for a half drink! If you guys don’t want to give less ice and more drink then remove that option from the menu. Just greedy for expensive coffee! I’m not happy 🤦🏽♀️
Great neighborhood coffee spot! Civil Coffee has smooth, well-balanced drinks, friendly staff, and a relaxed Highland Park vibe. Perfect for a casual coffee break or quick catch-up.
The Arroyo is genuinely one of my favorite drinks in LA. The lavender syrup is truly the best damn lavender syrup I’ve ever had. The interior is amazing at their original location here in Highland Park, with a really cute patio as well in the back. It’s significantly busier than their DTLA location but this location really puts it all together very well. There are plenty of tables that are good for chatting or studying, although whether they are available is a lot more hit or miss than in DTLA.
what an unforgettable coffee shop in Highland Park! iced vanilla latte and matcha latte both with oat milk tasted amazing. great atmosphere inside and the handsome barista James provided exceptional service and hospitality. can’t wait to be back at Civil Coffee and try other drinks and pastries next time!
The food was delicious!! Wouldn’t have expected it from a coffee shop, but one of the best breakfast spots I’ve been to in a while. What really won me over was that the chilaquiles were actually spicy🌶️!! Coffee was solid I got the vanilla latte (good amount of coffee flavor, the vanilla didn’t mask it). Edit: second time I went chilaquiles were not spicy 🥲
