A lofty, minimalist coffee shop with photogenic floor-tiles, Civil peddles a rotating cast of single-origin espresso, cold brew and drip coffees to Highland Park's hip brigade. The handful of quality edibles (available until 2pm) include avocado toast topped with shiitake 'bacon', and baguette-style gourmet sandwiches. If you're in retail mode, bag some grounded beans or a stylish, branded tote.
