Great cappuccino and tasty full pastries. This is a great coffee shop in the middle of a food desert. While Cleveland tries to promote a 10 or 15 minute city without any grocery options other than the West Side Market that has extremely limited hours for office workers, this coffee shop is a great place to hang out, any time of day. And it has street parking. I went in the late afternoon and it had plenty of pastries to go with my cappuccino, which was a good thing since other coffee shops around seem to sell out of their pastries. Enjoy.

Save your money the coffee is subpar. The chai is disgusting. It tastes straight out of Dunkin’ Donuts.

Three family members and I visited Civilization on Mother's Day because it's my mom's favorite coffee place in Ohio. It was my first visit but now I see why it's her favorite. The staff was friendly and attentive and the coffee was excellent!

Great coffee shop at the corner of Lincoln Park, in my favorite Cleveland neighborhood. Friendly staff and patrons. The original decor was maintained which I like. Outdoor seating in booths or outdoor seating with a view.
Early Sunday morning at 5:30 am, I received a call from one of my nephews who was in a car accident. Thankfully he wasn’t hurt but we had to travel to Cleveland to pick him up so we ended up stopping by the nearest coffee shop. Tremont has a hidden treasure in this shop…delicious coffee, breakfast choices & bakery items as well. I enjoyed speaking a little Russian while I waited for my coffee. They had a very tasty breakfast soufflé that I really enjoyed. If I lived closer, I would be visiting often.

The ambience of Civilization was delightful. The coffee was rich & so flavorful. Perfect for this winter weather :) Also had the best giant chocolate chip cookie here!

The coffee is amazing and the baked goods are HUGE and delicious! The staff is very helpful and friendly if you need suggestions on what to order.

This is a typical Cleveland vintage coffee shop. Owners are very nice and courteous but service can be really slow especially during morning peak hours. Coffee quality is good, atmosphere is very friendly for small gatherings (3-4 people) but not for work. I tried a ham and cheese breakfast sandwich and it was ok. I personally prefer cold cut sandwiches dry and this one was a bit too greasy for my liking. Overall, it’s a good place for a quick coffee break if you’re passing by.
Good food, good coffee and great service
