Green eggs and ham
Clau R.

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!

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.

Cajeta Cappuccino
Nimish M.

Pretty good cappuccino and nice vibes. Maybe skip the matcha because it looks like they use a squeeze bottle.

Really cute place. At first glance it looks like a house until you step inside. Free wi-fi & water fill station Their drinks are soooo good. We ordered a Dirty Chai w/reg milk and a regular latte which were both flavorful. the employees were definitely approachable and friendly.

Smashed Avocado w/ added poached egg
Cara P.

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!

Mocha and matcha latte
Roshini T.

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

Matcha Latte Iced ($5)
Wendi K.

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 :)

Outdoor seating

So....first of all, there are no prices on the menu and there is a "wellness" charge of 16% automatically added to the bill. Our payout for our meal was a little over $40 (with the wellness charge). Upon researching this fee, the web says it goes to support workers health benefits and should not replace tips with standard wellness fees typically 1-3%. That being said, service was good, food and coffee good. I personally like to know prices prior to ordering and any extra charges before the fact. It is a quaint little neighborhood breakfast joint. I had a hard time with stars, kids like the goats...

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!

JD J.

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

Waiting for his treats!

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.

Açaí bowl
Lola M.

Civil Goat is a cute coffeehouse offering breakfast and lunch on Burnet Road near downtown Austin. Yelpers love the lincoln's açaí bowl and avocado toast! Also has a small dog area in the outside sitting areas, as well as indoor seating.

Coffee and breakfast spot close to UT. Staff were very friendly, recommended the breakfast croissant , it was Delicious! Plenty of people work from the cafe, it's a quiet and pleasant place for sure.

My eggs Benedict was served on a unique bread - not a traditional English muffin - that kind of fell apart as I ate it. The flavor was great though. I should have gotten regular home fries, because the hashbrown casserole was cheesy and I wanted something to soak up the hollandaise and egg. The pancakes were so light they fell right apart when we began cutting into them. The flavor was great though. I would definitely recommend Phoebes.

Their burger is easily one of the best I've had in Austin, especially paired with their thin, crispy fries. It's my go-to order almost every time. One thing I love is that they switch up the steak portion of the menu a few times a year, and it never disappoints. Right now they have the steak au poivre, which is incredible, although I'm still craving their steak frites and hoping it makes a comeback. The escargot and French onion soup are also favorites of mine. At this point, June's has become a staple in our house--usually with a couple of Diet Cokes and either the burger or whatever steak they're featuring. A few of my friends swear by the chicken sandwich (fair warning: it can get a little messy!), the half roasted chicken, and the tuna crudo, so you really can't go wrong no matter what you order. On top of the amazing food, the staff is always incredibly kind and welcoming, which keeps us coming back. I definitely recommend making a reservation since it tends to get pretty busy, especially during peak hours.

I really wanted to love this place, especially since it's considered an Austin staple, but…read moreunfortunately, my experience was pretty mixed. My biggest issue started before I even got seated. There is a QR code that you're required to use to join the waitlist/queue, but this is not clearly communicated on their website. You essentially have to arrive at the restaurant and figure it out once you're there. For a restaurant that is known for having long waits and high traffic, I feel like this information should be clearly stated online so people can plan accordingly. Once I joined the queue, I was number 43 and ended up waiting about an hour and a half before being seated. I understand that popular restaurants can have long wait times, but the lack of transparency about how the process works made the experience more frustrating than it needed to be. Once inside, the ambiance was actually quite quaint and charming. That said, considering how much traffic this restaurant gets, I was surprised by how limited the space is. I honestly think expanding the property would make a huge difference, although I understand that may not be entirely within their control. One thing I will give them major credit for is the menu. Online, the selection makes it look somewhat limited, but once you're there, they actually have 50+ food options, so there is plenty to choose from. That was definitely a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, my entrée was disappointing. I ordered a shredded beef taco with salsa and substituted a side salad. The beef was extremely tender, but unfortunately, it was also very dry. The salad was another disappointment because the vinaigrette was honestly not good. I don't think I've ever had a vinaigrette that I actively disliked until this meal. Thankfully, my fiancé had a much better experience. He ordered an enchilada and said it was one of the top five enchiladas he's ever had, so clearly there are some standout dishes on the menu. That definitely made me curious about trying something different if I ever return. I also really enjoyed that they offer hibiscus tea. I was very happy to see it on the menu, although I personally think it would be better served on its own rather than incorporated into one of their mixed drinks. The drink itself was just okay, but the hibiscus flavor was great. Overall, I can see why this place has become an Austin staple, but I think the experience could be improved significantly by making the waitlist process much clearer online and by improving the consistency of some of the food. The menu has a lot of potential, and clearly, some dishes are excellent! Unfortunately, mine just wasn't one of them.

Service, great. Magmud, delicious…read more Tropical turkey tacos, terrible. I was expecting grilled or BBQ turkey, it was diced sandwich meat in a tortilla. Great vibe and staff, but I will not be ordering tacos here again.

They had a baked apple seasonal option while I was there and it was amazing. Traditional breakfasts are also delicious and far more manageable. Coffee was never ending and flavorful, not "diner coffee". I'll gladly come back the next time I'm in town.

We arrived and in a few minutes we were seated at a table and immediately given water in mason jars and asked for our drink order. I opted just got an Arnold Palmer but the drink menu had some cute cocktails and mocktails, as well as a nice selection of beer and wine. Instead of bread, our server brought us a basket of seasoned popcorn. The popcorn had almost like a Cajun flair, but it wasn't spicy. It reminded me of the Ground Round chain from when I was a little girl. We decided to try the corndog shrimp appetizer. I couldn't decide on an entree because everything looked so good, so I did the Parmesan chicken and my coworker did the steak salad. The shrimp arrived so quickly with four large pieces of shrimp on a stick wrapped in corn dog batter and fried to a golden brown, with a blueberry mustard dipping sauce. The shrimp were delicious and while I didn't get much of the blueberry in the mustard, I enjoyed the sweetness it provided. My Parmesan chicken was a crispy and juicy breaded chicken cutlet with a lemon cream, artichoke hearts, and what appeared to be prosciutto on top. It was served with a side of pesto couscous with grape tomatoes and cucumbers. I wish I had ordered mashed potatoes on the side, because I wanted something to soak up the lemon cream sauce, which was the highlight of the chicken. We also were served 3 mini cornbread muffins with honey butter. My coworker said the salad was just okay, and was a little on the small side. The desserts were definitely a MUST and if you visit Moonshine and don't save room for the Espresso Brownie or the Peanut Butter Pie, you're going to regret it. The brownie was so fudgey and warm and served with ice cream. It was decadent. The peanut butter pie was the biggest slab of PB pie I've ever had with a thick Oreo crust. I wish I had someone with me to share it, it was huge. Overall, if I lived in the area I would definitely be back to try other things.

It was almost like a crescendo in a symphony when you got to the center of the bear claw. My latte was flavorful in a subtle way with the sesame vanilla permeating throughout the latte. It is important to note that they make their own pastries and tacos each day. The pastries are a bit pricey costing more than my latte.
