Civilization is the perfect neighborhood coffee shop! It is unpretentious, chill, and serves up some solid morning choices, including a variety of flavored coffees, espresso drinks, pastries, and breakfast sandwiches. The decor is cozy and nostalgic. The staff and regulars are always outgoing and friendly, which just adds to the experience.

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.

Place is a vibe. Was packed. First bite of the pepperoni croissant was immediately good. I go banana nut coffee, immediately good. I asked for a 12oz size coffee in a 16oz and fill the rest with milk. They did it. Perfect. Starbucks could never.

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!

This place has amazing chicken Salad and their coffee is perfect. The baristas are friendly and quick. This is a great spot to sit outside and enjoy the weather or sit inside and experience the vintage atmosphere. Also street parking is usually available and you got the park right next to you for a little walk.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. It’s a must every time I swing through Tremont whether on my way to work or for a walk around the neighborhood. Plenty of patio seating in the summer and a cozy, nostalgic interior.

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.
