Great salads and teas. But absolutely maddening experience on almost every visit. Run out of things early in the day. Get served in plastic, not glass. Self-service ordering, via an ordering platform that takes substantially more time to figure out than had they taken our order themselves. (We ordered two things last week (which we've ordered often, for years) and the staff needed to help us with both, which they acknowledged was confusing on their platform to even them.) All easy fixes, but they seem to be working towards a less customer-oriented experience. Please raise prices rather than degrade the experience. We want you to last for the long haul! read more

Civil Goat Coffee is a cute cafe in Austin with great lattes and tasty eats. I went with a large group and their outside picnic tables were perfect for accommodating us. There is also a small dog park right next door, so that kept us entertained throughout our visit. Since I used their QR code for ordering, which was attached to our table, I didn't have much interaction with the employees. But my order was ready quickly and delivered to me smoothly. I ordered a small hot latte with honey and the Smashed Avocado with added poached egg. I was very impressed by both of these items! The latte had perfectly steamed milk and just the right level of sweetness. And I always appreciated beautiful latte art. The toast was super satisfying and it incorporated a variety of interesting flavors. The walnut pesto and balsamic glaze gave the dish a zesty zing, but it was balanced nicely by the avocado and expertly poached egg. I loved Civil Goat Coffee and, if I were local, I would absolutely revisit! Highly recommend! read more

Not sure why it's taken me so long to visit civil goat. The avocado toast is stacked, so fresh, and delicious! I'm trying to lower my coffee intake so I ordered a decaf + it was perfect! Most decaf coffee from coffee shops taste like burnt beans but Civil Goat's coffee was very smooth. I sat outside to do some work since the weather was nice that day. They do close at three and it get busy on the weekends so get there early for a spot! read more

Civil Goat Coffee - Cajeta Cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I met a friend here for a late lunch, coffee, and some WFH. We drove there separately but both got spots in the parking lot out back. I also know there's free parking in the neighborhood. We found a table near an outlet, and although the table itself was pretty small for laptops and food and coffee, we made do! Drinks came out quick, and food took maybe 10-15 minutes. My latte was tasty, and I was pleasantly surprised by the green eggs and ham. The toast itself was really crunchy and over-toasted, but I ate it with a fork and knife so I didn't have much of an issue. The toppings were delicious, though! I'll definitely come back here! read more

While there are now two Civil Goats in East Austin, drive the extra ten minutes and come to this one instead. Why? There's a private lot (albeit small, but I've always had luck finding parking), plenty of outdoor seating options to choose from (shaded spots, tables on the dirt, patio seating, or wide-open under the blue sky) plus a fair amount of indoor seating as well, and even a dog park! Sadly, no actual goats at this location. They serve both food and drinks, but the few times I've had their lattes, they are pretty much standard for good, but the food... unreal. I constantly rave about how addictive their specialty Soft Scramble is. Their Soft Scramble ($14) comes with buttery scrambled eggs with chives, a refreshing arugula salad, and a protein of your choice. No question, GET THE HASH-SAUSAGE!! I never order scrambled eggs at restaurants because my thought process is: I can make them at home...but Civil Goat broke that rule for me. Also, I'm a big fan of the Cuerny Sam ($12) when I'm craving the perfect breakfast croissant sammie. WARNING: Use the dog park at your own discretion--the fencing is makeshift and big dogs or high jumpers can easily clear it. read more

Yummy cinnamon toast and overnight oats! Good coffee and great location in Austin! Was easy to park - paid lot , and calm atmosphere to chat and enjoy a bite and good coffee! Would recommend if you're looking for a good and nice coffee spot read more

Really enjoyed civil goat! They have a really cute interior with plentiful seating including a bar area as well as tables. The mocha was tasty but I feel like I've had tastier mochas elsewhere. My friend enjoyed the matcha latte but felt that it was more granulated at the bottom. We both enjoyed the ambiance but not sure we'd return for the coffee alone read more

Civil Goat Coffee - Mocha and matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Dog friendly coffee shop with delicious healthy bites. There is plentiful outdoor and indoor seating. There is even a dog park next to the outdoor seating area. I had the Green Eggs and Ham Toast ($11.50) and BF had the croissant sandwich ($12). The croissant sandwich looked incredible! I enjoyed my toast, it was very unique and crunchy. The Matcha Latte ($5) was nice. I would love to come back and try the acai bowls! Staff were awesome :) read more

Went on a weekend morning and service was super slow, I probably waited 30 minutes just to put my order in at the register. My honeydew fizz did not really taste of honeydew and only tasted of matcha which would have been ok if I didn't pay $8 for the seasonal drink. Parking is available behind the building but the lot is such a tight squeeze I would recommend street parking instead. There's limited seating inside but they have a large fenced in yard and patio space. I saw lots of dog owners letting their pets play together which was super cute. read more

I really like this location a lot. The dog park is probably the best thing ever if I'm being honest. Our little guy loves running around and playing ball here. It's a very clean and spacious yard for furry friends. Secured with a gate. Picnic table inside the yard so humans can enjoy their food and beverages. The various coffee we've had is always stellar. I'm partial to a perfect cappuccino and it's pretty darn close here. I've bought the house blend packaged beans as gifts for coffee snobs and they've raved about the flavor! read more

Loved this small little coffee shop! Got a lavender cappuccino and it was excellent. Friendly service, expertly made and well worth it--close to the biscuit place we had breakfast at, loved it! read more

Coffee is delicious, and although they don't have a robust breakfast menu, they hit what they do have out of the park. My croissant sandwich was 11/10. Not a ton of indoor seating, but if you're cool with sitting outside and getting your Vitamin D in, there's plenty of outdoor options read more

Civil Goat Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I love civil goat coffee! The manor road establishment does not have the actual goat however this settles my dogs who like coming with as I enjoy great coffee, amazing breakfast sandwiches, and relax as I people watch with a book in hand. I could spend the day here if it wasn't for having too many cups of delicious coffee! They have a small tv that plays old vhs tapes to round out the local vibe of hipster cool. They orders arrive promptly as well with a number to secure your order. The staff is pretty cool and well informed in the menu. They do seem to keep staff which is nice for those wanting to be recognized as regulars. Did I say dogs? They are pet friendly and the fuzzy guys really like how the dog bowls quench their thirst and they can relax on the cold concrete floor inside, the wooden patio, or the grass in the small fenced area. read more

It's a little cozy indoors, but good for conversation or studying/working. The bartop seating has outlets. The window hightop seating offers a nice view and there is plenty of outdoor seating.

Civil Goat Coffee - Left: London fog Right: Vanilla latte Cuerny sam x2 with avocado - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Food: The acai bowl was amazing--refreshing, well-balanced, with the right amount of fruits and other extras. The scramble was very well-cooked (fluffy), and the salad was fresh. The bacon is a must--crispy and delicious! The sandwich includes a sweet orange marmalade. Coffee: They know how to make excellent cortados and dirty chai tea lattes. Ambiance: Super chill and great for a simple date. It's a place where you can comfortably bring kids and family. The music is at the right volume, allowing for good conversation. Everything is kept nice and clean, and there is outdoor seating available. Service: The cashiers were very friendly. It is an order-at-the-counter establishment where they bring the food to your table, but there is no traditional table service. Price: Average and competitive pricing. It's not cheap but fair. read more

Civil Goat Coffee on Manor is a cute lil coffee shop that is perfect for a study date or quick caffeine boost. The inside was very cute and great air conditioned for a hot summer morning. The food items were pretty substantial as a meal. Definitely more filling than a simple pastry, which they also had. We ended up getting the Cuerny Sam's and found them quite taste. I enjoyed the added honey more than I thought I would. The coffees were also deliciously made and tasted high quality. The only con is it's pretty expensive. Might not come back super hungry as 2 egg sandwiches and 2 coffees were over $40. Looked like a pro tip is to get bird bird across the street and pick up some coffee. The servers were also very nice. One of them complimented my jewelry which was much appreciated. They were quick and efficient. We also beat the rush showing up at 10:30 on a Sunday. Right after we ordered about 20 people formed a line after. Plenty of outdoor space also. read more

Pretty cool little neighborhood place.. I don't think it has been open very long. Good selection of snacks, lite bite's and coffee make it a good choice for something different. The flys get pretty challenging outside but I think that is most of texas and not unique to this place. You can sit inside or outside and there is a little grassy area for toddlers to wander around in. read more

I was impressed with matcha latte, pretty nicely balanced! The don't sweeten their matcha so I added the lavender syrup and it was a nice addition. The people I were with had coffee drinks and they liked them as well. The cafe had about 6 or so tables, seemed like a good number of outlets, and had a lot of natural light, so I'll have to come back to read or work. Also they have a lot of outside picnic tables, some in the shade and some in direct sun. read more

Civil Goat Coffee is one of my favorite coffee shops of ALL TIME. I've been to the other two locations multiple times, but you can never have enough. I love Civil Goat because their coffee and food is delicious. My friends make fun of me all the time for liking avocado toast, but sometimes it's made so well that you can't hate on it. Civil Goat makes their avocado toast consistently well. I love the little sprouts for color, and the texture and seasoning is always on point. I've had their breakfast bowl as well, and their soft scrambled eggs are some of the best I've ever had. Coffee-wise, you can't go wrong with any item on the menu. I personally love the London fog latte, chai latte, and iced vanilla latte. The branding is so cute, and all the employees are really nice and helpful. I studied in here for a few hours, but be aware that there aren't many outlets. Definitely charge your electronics before stopping by if you're planning to stay for awhile. read more

I love this cafe. I used to go to the one on Cuernavaca when I lived in that area. Came by this location after visiting the Mueller farmers market one Sunday and had a lovely experience, a great coffee, and enjoyed the ambience. That said, I really dislike the self-service ordering kiosk at both this location and Cuernavaca. The employees at every Civil Goat location are so lovely and the ordering kiosk feels like it creates a barrier between the customer and the employee. Human interaction is where it's at read more

If you find yourself in Austin and you're in the mood for some seriously good coffee in a super chill spot, Civil Goat Coffee is where you wanna be. It's the kind of place where the coffee is strong, the vibe is laid-back, and you might just find yourself lost in conversation with a stranger (or at least with the barista, who's probably your new best friend by the time you leave). The Coffee: First things first--let's talk coffee. This place knows what's up. Whether you're an espresso aficionado or just someone who likes a big ol' cup of something caffeinated to kickstart your day, Civil Goat's got you covered. Their lattes are creamy, smooth, and perfect for sipping while you daydream about life choices (or plan your next adventure, because you're totally caffeinated now). The Cortado? Don't even get me started--it's like the perfect marriage between espresso and milk. That balance? Chef's kiss. And if you're more of the "cold brew, all day, every day" type, their nitro cold brew is smooth and bold, like a liquid hug for your brain. Not into coffee? No problem. They've got teas, oat milk lattes, and seasonal drinks that will make your taste buds do a little happy dance. Seriously, they've got something for everyone here, no judgment if you're just here for the cute aesthetic and a tasty drink. Vibes & Service: Walking into Civil Goat feels like stepping into the cool, artsy cousin's house who's probably got some rad stories about traveling the world. It's cozy but not cramped, minimalist but with enough personality to make you feel like you're in the right place. Exposed brick? Check. Cozy lighting? You bet. Hip-but-not-try-hard energy? Oh yeah, they've nailed it. The mix of chill indie tunes in the background adds to the vibe without being obnoxious. You can actually talk here without shouting over loud music. What a concept. And the staff? Oh, they're legit. The baristas here aren't just skilled in making the perfect pour-over, they're also super chill and ready to chat about your drink choices or recommend something new if you're in the mood for an adventure. You'll leave feeling like you've got a new coffee BFF. Food: Okay, so while this place is obviously all about the coffee, the food isn't something you want to sleep on. Their almond croissant is basically a buttery, flaky hug, and if you're craving something savory, their breakfast burrito has got your back. It's got that perfectly satisfying balance of eggs, cheese, and salsa that makes you think, "Yes, this is exactly what I needed in my life." Not over the top, just solid. Location: Located in the artsy, slightly hip East Austin area, Civil Goat is one of those spots that feels just right for a casual coffee date, a solo study session, or an impromptu hang with friends. There's street parking, but let's be real--you might have to do a little parking scavenger hunt to snag a spot, especially when the place is poppin'. But hey, it's Austin. The hustle is part of the charm, right? Final Thoughts: Civil Goat Coffee is like that cozy little coffee spot you wish you had in your neighborhood. It's got the good vibes, the great coffee, and the chill atmosphere that'll make you want to return even if you live across town. Whether you're a local or just visiting, it's definitely worth stopping by--plus, you can pretend you're an Austin local while you sip that latte. Just don't forget to smile and wave at the goats... because, you know, Civil Goat. read more

The coffee at civil goat is really good. But do not order food. They tend to forget it for 20 minutes or more. Then they are like "oh your food is coming out next" and bring you a toast that has gotten cold and soggy while waiting to be served. And that's a $10 slice of bread with some cheese and ham. read more

Drove past here and thought it looked too cute to not check out! I was so pleasantly surprised - quintessential Austin quirkiness as this is a house-turned coffee shop. Tons of outdoor seating, a dog park, and indoor seating as well. Coffee was great - got a hot oatmilk vanilla latte and it was lovely. Staff was great and answered our questions, along with getting us our coffee quickly. Will definitely be coming back here! read more

Cool place to hang out. Great coffee and nice friendly people. Good music and a cool little TV playing VHS tapes.

The most disappointing latte I've had in Austin so far. The staff seemed actively resistant to interaction - avoiding eye contact and showing little interest in engaging. One even awkwardly cut in front of me at the water station without a word. Maybe it was an off day, but the service matched the drink: my vanilla latte tasted like plain oat milk, with no hint of vanilla. I'd recommend heading to Fleet down the street instead. read more

Different type of place but definitely recommend going. Great coffee and great food.
