Great coffee, great food, great decor, great staff, GREAT VIBES! This is what a coffee shop should be. Other shops tend to miss the CRITICAL mark on creating a space conducive for working and studying. This place offers comfy seating with good background music just low enough to still take work calls. I feel like other customers understood that too.

What a gem!! This place is so cozy, great coffee, and good vibes all around. We walked in not knowing it’s new, and found the perfect cozy seating (and very comfortable), to have a nice warm drink and take a break from the rain.

Flat White and Lavender Latte were delicious! We will visit every time our travels bring us to DC!

Wow this place is a gem. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the vibes are impeccable. One visit and I already know this is by far my favorite coffee shop in the area. Cheers to CIVIC! ❤️

Civic on the Eighth is a beautiful and truly unique café experience. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed. Nalah, the barista, has such a warm and inviting presence—she makes you feel like family. The coffee is absolutely divine. The Blush Matcha Latte is a must-sip, especially when paired with one of their pistachio croissants. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Popped in for hot drinks and some pastry with a friend. The coffee and london fog were delicious and pastries were equally so. Not too loud inside to have a chat and the staff couldn’t have been nicer!

Truly lovely staff. Welcoming and warm environment. Ample indoor seating. Drip coffee (batch brew) was very good and the staff took real pride in making sure it was so. They use Swing's beans.

Came in around 11 on a Saturday, was decently busy but the line moved quick and there is tons of seating so I was easily able to get a seat. Ham and cheese croissant and jamaican patty were both decent, their espresso drinks are excellent. Looking forward to coming again in the future!

Welcome to the neighborhood, CIVIC!! We are thrilled you are here!
There is a warm and welcoming vibe in this beautifully revamped space, plus delicious Swing’s coffee and baked goods from Souk. Cocktails coming soon. What’s not to love?
The CIVIC team has thought of every detail, across decor, food and service. You wouldn’t know that this is only their third day open. Can’t wait to see what’s next! ✨✨

Our neighborhood needed exactly this. Congrats and welcome! Will be back again this week, and the next, and the next…
