I stopped by after a doctor's appointment at the Ascension Seton medical building down the road. It was a Friday morning, so I anticipated it to be busy and it was. It's probably a great place for UT students to study solo or with friends since it's relatively close. The barista was super patient with me deciding what to get for my first visit to a Civil Goat location. My original food item wasn't available and I quickly had to adapt to the eventual alternative. I got a seasonal drink as usual, and the Thunderbird Acai Bowl. The latte was okay, and I wish the bowl had more peanut butter taste - but both items were delicious! read more

I truly enjoyed working from here. There was definitely a lot of people and waves in and out but the atmosphere was surprisingly chill. I was distracted by the interesting conversations around me which is something that never happens but I had forgot my headphones. That said, I left the cafe feeling more human than ever because I felt connected and unplugged. read more

Civil Goat Coffee - Perfectly made oat latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Ambiance: I've been to a handful of coffee shops around Austin, and this is now my go-to spot! It's really close to campus and feels very safe to be around. There is good Wi-Fi and plenty of natural light, so it is a great spot to lock in and get some work done. Drinks: The coffee here is not bad of a price compared to some other spots around the city. I have had both the matcha and mocha latte here, and I really like the mocha for a sweet refreshment. There is also a free iced water station which is super convenient. read more

Their cold brews are nice here, but what I'd like to highlight is their salad! I used to stop by here on the way back from school and get one of their salads, and I became addicted to it. Their salad is amazing, with perfectly boiled eggs, avocado, chili oil, a flavor bomb to say the least. I am craving it just thinking about it now. Service is friendly, although it can be a bit of a wait-time sometimes. I always want to do work inside but it's usually already filled. read more

Good vibe though crazy busy on a Saturday morning. My first time here so it was a mix of impressions. The London Fog has a good taste, but not steaming the milk and serving me luke warm tea was not acceptable. The 10oz tea was $4.50. I want to add that it took 15 minutes to get the tea and 24 minutes to get to toast. The country ham and cheese toast had an amazing flavor. I loved the toast! However, one small piece of toast with four slices of ham and a little more than a slice of cheddar was a serious letdown for a $10.50 order. read more

Every time I've been to civil goat I've received an amazing drink and amazing service. My favorite drink of theirs is the cajeta cappuccino. It's a cappuccino with a goat milk caramel and it tastes like comfort in a cup. The caramel is sweet and has just enough of the goat milk sharpness to give it balance, creating a somewhat sweet-and-savory-flavored cappuccino. 10/10 would recommend!! read more

I really like studying here, as the ambience is nice. The music isn't too loud. Depending on the table, the seats aren't the most comfortable. The coffee was okay, and served in a small cup. The price was appropriate however. read more

This is one of the friendliest Coffee places I've been too. From the moment I stepped in our experience was wonderful. The gentleman who took our order was super nice and so easy to talk with, I asked him a few questions about the tea and ended up with the iced London Fog and could not have been happier. It was just the right amount of sweetness with whole milk and was exactly what I needed to start my day. Plus they had the small crushed ice which is always welcomed in coffee over cubes in my opinion. Everything about this coffee shop seemed comfy, cozy and welcoming. I can see myself coming here to read, study, just enjoy the day. It's a must if you're on the drag. read more

It was my first time here, and was an OK experience. Crazy busy and crowded on a Friday but this location offers ample space, and I was able to grab a seat on the communal benches in the back room. Good wifi connectivity and not too loud as some other coffee shops are. The barista I placed my order with looked annoyed and was quite unfriendly. First ordered a London Fog latte which I do not recommend. Very weak flavor, watered down, and lukewarm at best. Not what I was hoping for on a cold day. Also very overpriced at $4.50 for a 10 oz tea. I was so disappointed with the tea that I ended up ordering a Vanilla Latte with Oat Milk after, which was much better and to the standard I expected for paying premium latte prices. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE CUERNAVACA LOCATION. Mediocre over priced food with little customer care from its employees towards customers. I asked for a fork and knife after ordering an over priced simple and frankly underwhelming avocado toast. I got a look as if i was bothering the employee for such a request. She snarled at me and pointed over to a dark corner and told me forks and cutlery were there. No sign to designate location of cutlery my first time there how was I to know. My best friend lives around the corner yet I will never go back with her. Just sad because there's not much in the neighborhood to offer its residents. read more

Our favorite local coffee spot. The staff are always very friendly, and the espresso drinks are better than most other cafes in the Hyde Park/University area. The vibe is unpretentious, and the prices are extremely reasonable, particularly given the location on Guadalupe. read more

Stopped in the meet a friend, and thought it was a nice spot. Was a bit packed without much seating, but the location was good and there was enough parking nearby. My chai latte with oat milk was solid, and the chia seed pudding was a nice little snack available for just $3. I could see myself using this place as a coffee meet up spot again in the future. read more

I tried Civil Goat for the first time today and will definitely be back. FOOD & COFFEE I originally went because I saw they had toasts which feel more like 'real' food than most cafe offerings. I ended up getting an everything bagel however because the avocado toast had bacon on it and I'm a vegetarian. There were other vegetarian and vegan options (cinnamon toast) but most were on the sweet spectrum and I wanted to savory. I wasn't expecting much from the bagel but was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The cream cheese was a whipped one and I loved it. I just wanted more! I also got a drip coffee that was superb. It was just damn good coffee. I hope to try their espresso and cold brew offerings in the future - if the coffee is any indication, I'm sure they'll be great. VIBE I really enjoyed the vibe and decor inside Civil Goat. It had that calming effect that 'real' cafes have. I felt like I wanted to bring a good book (instead of my work laptop!) and just waste an afternoon away. There are a few 'work-y' tables, a nice social area that had two small communal tables and a loungey area, but most seating was on stools at a bar facing Guadalupe. I was sitting at one of the stools and enjoyed myself but I was only there for about 30 minutes. I feel like it would be tough to do my aforementioned book lounging or even longer than 1hr. It would be tough to socialize with a friend with this set-up. I also could not see any plugs but wasn't looking to hard as I wasn't in need. SERVICE I'm... confused... by the staff. No one was rude to me but no one was nice to me. It's hard to describe. I felt a little bit like I was being a bother but it's not like anyone was overtly rude. I may be reading too much into it but I interacted with three people and not one smiled... and I'm a very smiley person so it felt strange to smile at someone without them smiling back. PARKING There's lots of space in the parking lot. PARENTS I won't be brining my little one here anytime soon. It feels beautifully calm and I feel like a toddler would not fit well. It also has a set-up that would not accommodate any stroller bigger than an umbrella stroller. I'm sure it'd be fine to run in a grab a drink/pastry to go but I can't see myself sitting there with my kiddo. OVERALL I will definitely go back to Civil Goat but not for a work sesh or with friends, definitely not with a kid. I'd go if I want some relaxing alone time with really good coffee. read more

Fantastic space. Fantastic coffee. You buy the drip coffee and drink it straight up black, You get a nice complex sophisticated cup of coffee that is the stuff of professional coffee tastings. The music is outstanding. They close early. By 3 pm, they are down for the day and by 1:45, the kitchen is washing up and doesn't want to be bothered. So I can't tell you if the food is gourmet or not. But that coffee, that space and that music and I am good. P.S. The place is crowded. Getting an actual seat at Civil Goat in the morning is like getting into an Ivy League school. If you want to apply for early admission, show up at 8 in the morning when they open. Your odds go way down after that. read more

The large windows here bring in so much sunlight - perfect for working or chatting with a friend. The only thing is there is limited seating - majority of their chairs is bar countertop style which is not always the comfiest. The London Fog is pretty good although in my opinion it was lacking that punch to make it stand out. Lots of food options too. read more

If you love quality coffee, go to Civil Goat Coffee, a coffee shop north of UT's campus. I went on a Saturday morning and the wait wasn't too long to order.

There's window seating and a back room with more tables. read more

This experience was just okay for us. It's a very cute, sleek, and modern atmosphere. We arrived around 1:00 pm on a Saturday. We ordered two lattes and two toasts. The lattes were standard and came out pretty quickly. The food took about 20 minutes. I tried the vegan pea avocado toast-I really appreciate the option, but it was just okay to me/ on the bland side. My husband had the regular avocado toast and said the same. It's also on the pricier side. I think there are other similar options in Austin that I would prefer, but not a bad option to try out. read more

'Hey, there's this abandoned, ugly building. I think we can make a coffee spot here.'....I'm guessing that's how this place got started. The outside is unremarkable, but the inside is austere, very simply (and nicely) designed. There are two long maple wood bars, one next to the windows for work stations, and one where the orders come out for conversation. Additionally, there are a few tables at one end of the long skinny space. All the service people were polite- there was none of that attitude like "we are doing you a favor by allowing you to grace our space". Thank you, Civil Goat employees! You all are awesome. The coffees were delicious and expertly prepared. My friend had avocado toast and I nibbled on a giant tasty chocolate chip cookie. Reasonable prices and clean. That hits all my elements for a 5 star review. There's another location with a resident goat according to a patron behind me in the order line. Whichever one you patronize, let me know what you think. - Happily caffeinated today and most days. Enjoy. read more

The coffee was great, I got an iced vanilla latte. However, the avocado toast was off.

I sat at the bar this morning. It was really fun to sit in front of the baristas and see them in action when it got busy! I kind of got mesmerized watching them pull espresso shots. It was pretty busy in here, but I was able to find seating alone. They also have a nice outdoor area if the weather is nice. Service was great, latte was delicious, avocado toast was bomb, I do wish it was a little bigger. Overall, great little spot! read more

This place has good coffee and lots of indoor seating. There is also plenty of parking, and I enjoyed their oldie's music playlist!

Civil Goat Coffee needs a bigger venue! All the best intentions, great bites and drinks, but not in the best building. You want to study in an open, bright space. However, Civil Goat reminds me of a dingy underground coffee shop found in Boston. There are 2 doors, only one you can access, you can already guess which one I tried to open... My favorite beverage that I tried was the Chai Latte, amazing kick to it due to the spices used. You can also try this as a Dirty Chai (w/ a shot of espresso) if you need a little boost to your day. I'm a millennial, so of course I love me a good sandwich. Unfortunately, not many options here except for light bites. read more

This location CVG is new one, the place is conveniently located, parking is easy, they have seating both inside and outside, nice customer service, good coffee and espressos, so what else, everything is just perfect! We ordered coffee, cappuccino and cold chocolate, they don't have cold chocolate on there menu, but when asked, they were happy to make one. Husband loved his coffee. cappuccino was good, mildly acidic, smooth, perfect temperature and lovely art. Kiddo loved his cold chocolate milk. Try them out, you won't regret it and they have some baked and food options too! read more

I loved the fast service, aesthetics, and good coffee at Civil Goat. I stopped by on a Sunday at 11 with a couple friends and ordered an oat latte and pain au chocolate. Since we arrived at peak coffeehouse hours, I was disappointed but not surprised to see every seat inside taken. Despite how busy it was the drinks still came out quickly and we snagged a table out on the patio. There was ample parking but I wouldn't recommend studying or working here unless you can block out pretty loud background noise. The birds on the patio were terrifying and will stare you down and caw from 3 feet away. read more

One of my fellow coffee snob brought me here because he loves the cortados. And I must say I agree. The latte art was done beautifully on our cortados (different designs on both) and the barista was wonderful. Normally, the beans they use for the espresso is the "Guatemala" but he let us try it using the "Ethiopian - Yirgacheffe" as well. Out of both cortados that we tried, the Ethiopian was by far both of favorites. The espresso was so bright and fruity and extremely wonderful. It wasn't burnt and the tasting notes, as mentioned, were amazing. Oh, it paired well with the ube cookie they had there! I was excited to go again so I went with a different friend two days later. Different baristas and sadly, the cortado was given to us in a paper to-go cup (the first time was in a shot glass) and there was no latte art. The taste was overall still good, but definitely not the same as my first time. I definitely think there are better days to go. Overall great vibes and experience. Would definitely recommend the cortado here. read more

FYI there's no goat here. It's for the goats safety because the goat was getting out from people not shutting the gate. No goats were harmed during our visit. Great vibes and great food.

I was super excited to check this place out because I have heard great things about Civil Goat. I love the interior of the coffee shop, very minimalistic, a lot of light. There is a bar area along with a separate lounge study area. The shop is a bit on the smaller side so it tends to be quite full without much table space during the busy hours. I got a small Lavender Matcha which was very delicious. The matcha was well mixed, very flavorful, and the lavender was just the right hint of something extra to spice up the matcha a bit. It was a bit on the pricier side given the size of the coffee. I would definitely come back to try out more of their coffee. I would recommend coming here for a quick coffee run or a quick hang out, may be harder to find a table for consistent studying and they close on the earlier side as well. read more

Went to Civil Goat Coffee for the first time yesterday, and my experience was great. The store is pretty cute and chic, with a plenty of indoor & outdoor seatings. It was a Saturday morning and the store was quite busy when I went in. However, the baristas were able to greet us immediately and let us know that he'll be with us shortly. While waiting to get my drinks, I walked around the store and I really like their taste in interior design. So many cute corners and vintage furnitures. The drinks I got was London Fog, which I give 8/10. My friend got drip coffee and he really liked it 9/10. Definitely recommend and will come back again. read more
