This place is a hit or miss. They’re good, but there’s other coffee shops in the same block to choose from.

Even mediocre latte is better than no latte at all. :D So buckle up and let’s begin this coffee shop.
Civilization Cafe is a tiny modest cafe that serve coffee, pastries, brunch and breakfast. It’s located strategically in the heart of DTLA’s Justice court.
Interior decor was simple with a few art canvass. Atmosphere was nice. They have very limited indoor and outdoor seats. Civilization has all the basic Coffee items. I had a Spanish Latte. And it was mediocre but decent enough for commoners to drink. Service was spot on. Young Gen Z staff were very affable and respectful. Finding street metered parking was bloody challenging albeit plenty of public parking lot ($12/all day). I was lucky to find a spot 100 meters from the cafe.
Overall, Civilization cafe is the kind of to-go cafe for professional or lawyers who were in a rush to get to court for case litigation. I won’t be coming back.

Love! The breakfast sandwiches are massive and absolutely mouth watering! The vietnamese coffee was bold, sweet, and delicious! Will definitely stop in again! Quaint, friendly, total vibe spot!

Definitely try one of their sandwiches, they’re really good! The service was friendly, and I had a great time overall. I loved the music and the atmosphere; it made me feel relaxed and calm during my lunchtime visit. I’ll definitely be going back again 🩷

Most photos found in this review are of the 724 Spring Street location, not the location I'm reviewing. I'll try it once unless it's just all wrong and the 2nd Street loc is to small,mocha coffee was warm not hot, taste was off, and service was extremely slow (there wasn't a lot of customers, that's a clue). My friends all said their drinks were off. Looking at the reviews, I'm confused how these two locations are crossed when they are clearly not the same, maybe Spring Strett loc closed? But I doubt I'll be returning.

First time visiting this cafe and it sure won't be my last, I had ordered a beef chorizo breakfast burrito with a iced mocha and my gf had a breakfast sandwich with a caramel iced coffee. Made fresh and with love, it was simple flavors made right. Great portions and did not skimp on ingredients. Definitely a spot to check out, shout out to the front of the house and the chef. Be back soon.
