There are two reasons I came here: 1. It was relatively…read moreclose to a friend I was visiting and the Arboretum which is where I needed to be. 2. They have goats here. Civil Goat is the genre of coffee shops that are secluded from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. So many shops in Austin are located in districts that are busy and buzzing. The original Civil Goat is quiet and peaceful through the trees. Upon arrival, it looks like there's only 3 parking spots, but as you keep driving, there's a whole lot behind the shop for parking. It's not super expansive, but at 9:30 am on a Wednesday, I had no issue finding a spot. They have a large covered patio and a small interior shop. They have QR codes on tables to order on your phone and stand up kiosks for to go orders as well. You can also order inside from the barista, but I got a feeling they just prefer you order from the kiosk... I ordered a lavender latte that was delightful and warm. Very balanced in its flavors. It was served in a cute seafoam mug. My friend ordered a cappuccino that was served in frankly a cuter cup, so I was immediately jealous. I also ordered one of their specialty sandwiches called the Cuerney Sam with bacon, egg, American cheese, hot sauce (Cholula), and honey on a croissant. It was $12 which would have me on here complaining about SandFlation, but it was a hearty size and very well done. Nothing overpowered anything else, so the sandwich lived in harmony. I decided to order a second coffee to go. I got their Coco Capp with brown sugar and coconut syrup. They offer alternative milks of oat and almond free of charge, which is a huge W and something I don't see anywhere. It's a little out of the way for me, so I don't know how soon I'll return, but it made a quality impact on me and was floor raiser for my day. Plus there were goats! RIYL: Very civilized goats. Like "mmm, yes very nice" type of civilized.

Such a cute place. Love the amount of outdoor seating. The goats come and go but such a great…read moreexperience! I ordered an iced cappuccino with oat milk and one pump of vanilla and two pumps of lavender, it was perfect! My friend ordered a regular cappuccino and it was so cute! The avocado toast with peas could have been salted a bit more. The $4 chia pudding is tiny. There is only one restroom so be ready for a line. Also, it's kind of sad that you can't order from a person only your phone or a kiosk. But overall a good experience.

Their food is made by local vendors. The cashier explained to me that their vendor would f breakfast burritos recently had their food tested by the USDA. Not sure what they tested for but it sounded reassuring. I ordered a breakfast burrito and strawberry toaster (pop tart). Breakfast burrito was tasty and NOT greasy! And the the toaster was delicious and not too sweet! It was tart as it should be. A healthy and peaceful way to start my morning in Austin!

The staff clearly recognized quite a few customers during the short time I was there to do a quick grab and go of caffeine. The staff was super friendly and took their time in helping me pick out a bag of beans based off my personal preferences and intent of use (cortados/lattes vs drip/press). Their beans are well priced at around $14 a bag AND you get a complimentary drip coffee with the purchase! I felt like a winner! I also gave their canned lemonade and coffee drink a try - because why not? It had a unique and almost chocolatey flavor. Not sure if I loved it personally, but the quality of the ingredients and flavors were distinctly there. Certainly will take the time to come back to test out the space for a remote work day or a casual outing. Big plus: They have a parking lot and the option of indoor and outdoor seating. That's more like it!

It's located in a food truck park, which makes it convenient if you want to check out a few other spots for food while you're there. The staff are consistently friendly, and their lattes are always creative, unique, and delicious.

The employee was really kind in helping me choose the right drink, I told her I like bold, caramel-type flavors. She recommended on this warm day for the "most-popular" since its my first visit. The drink was beautiful at pick-up (so beautiful I forgot to take a photo!), and I got the hype: coffee flavor was bold, mixed perfectly with the milk, and the brown sugar + miso flavors were at the bottom that you mixed yourself. All the flavors worked, but nothing to TRULY go out of your way for. It was good though! Miso adds that "nutty, slight salty" flavor like a "salted caramel" would do. Completely enjoyed!

If you make espresso at home, picking up beans in person is recommended. The mail order subscription is a good option with many roasters, but Talisman's operation doesn't seem great. Shipping lead time looks to be about a week or more, which is days slower than the competition. With a $7 shipping charge on a local order, I expected better. I would prefer to cancel the order and buy the beans I need now for home brewing, but Talisman printed the label quickly to trigger a "shipped" status without actually shipping the order. USPS still doesn't have it. Great shop, less than impressive mail order business.

Maybe we ordered it wrong or just a bad day but our coffee was quite bitter, and has a strong bitter after-taste. We went for black (no cream/milk or sugar) so perhaps the bitterness came through strong. Regardless, cool place with work area and wifi. Good size parking lot.
