Civil Goat - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great place with great vibes. The goats are awesome for the kids. The new screens for ordering is a bit confusing since it’s not clear which thing comes out from where.

We found this spot on Google and were pleasantly rewarded with fresh food, good coffee, attentive and friendly service, and absolute value. The menu selections were diverse and clearly made with quality ingredients. We visited twice. I had the avocado toast ($10.50) on the first visit and it was well-seasoned and creamy, the bread was toasty, and the tomatoes were flavorful. Just delightful. The second morning I ordered the Thunderbird Acai bowl ($10). It was phenomenal. I love cocoa nibs and it's seldom that I find them in the wild. The bowl was practically overflowing with ingredients. I could live off the peanut butter. Unbelievably good. The coffee far outshined the watery excuse we were served at the hotel. Robust flavor with great aroma and body. I went for drip both times so I can't comment on the espresso drinks or teas. When we arrived the first morning, an employee gladly held the door for us and welcomed us. He held it for us again when we brought our dishes in. Both mornings everyone initiated pleasant conversation and seemed glad to be there. The thing that stood out to me the most was the value. This food and coffee somewhere else - worse food and coffee, frankly - costs far more and it's prepared and served with less consideration. We will return next time we're in town.

A cyclist-friendly spot with a spacious patio that makes for a great cafe stop after descending River Hills Rd and riding up Cuernavaca

We made a stop here doing a brief Austin visit and it ended up being a standout ! It’s a sweet little spot with really great vibes- pleasant place to chill, sip a good cup of coffee and enjoy the sunshine ☀️

very very good waffles and drinks. small place so enjoy parking and sitting... good thing they're building an expansion . not sure what they put in the waffle batter but it's amazing and unique. real syrup and whipped cream too the goat was cute, but they need to get him a companion edit: he has a friend now

Cool place, good coffee, a little bit of false advertising when we went the goats are not just out and about with you they are behind a fence.

Great food, great coffee, and there are real goats!

Coffee and food was good, the goats were very cute!

I was waiting for the day Civil Goat would become too busy to maintain their customer service...... today is that day! I went from being greeted by my first name when walking in to getting a cold Americano put out at the window (I'm sitting inside) and when I asked for a mug (I ordered it that way) .... I got. "Fine here, take this one... we just don't have people to wash them".... So I'm drinking my cold Americano that I poured myself in a mug feeling kinda sad that the place has completely changed

SO so good! My Cuerny Sam was amazing!

Just keeps getting better and better. Delicious espresso drinks, and avocado toast to die for.

Very nice little coffee house with great food and a great atmosphere. Very relaxing outdoor patio area!

My local coffee spot! Great coffee and food, friendly and personable staff (including the goat), nice new covered deck area and extended open air space. They also sell their own beans for when I don't have time to stop in and get my fix.

Great coffee spot , amazing flavor and you get to see goats 💕

Ordered chai latte and avocado and crunchy garlic salad. The salad was fresh, the chai latte was great! Mostly the atmosphere is amazing!

Love the Pony at the original location

Delicious coffee. Excellent service. Now with 2 goats!

Love the coffee and the food is good, great atmosphere with the goats! They do get backed up quickly, so order right away! Our cinnamon toast order fell through the cracks and took almost an hour to get, but it was a beautiful day and we enjoyed being outside. The staff works hard!

How cute!!!! Nice coffee with cute goats. Cute experience! They offer different food options and would like to visit again.

Fantastic coffee. Well designed intimate space. Food is hit or miss. Goats are cute and the music is lovely! The croissant sandwich was delicious. Soft scramble for the eggs was overall under seasoned. And the waffles? Dry. No butter included. No comment on the açaí bowls as we didn’t have them. Either way you’re spending ~$40 with tip for coffee/lunch for two. That’s a bit steep. Go for the coffee but skip the food!

best (dirty) matcha in all of austin by far ♥️

One of my favorite spots in Austin! Delicious açaí bowls & espresso.

Coffee is great and the staff is very polite. Butters the goat is quite entertaining and a unique feature of this wonderful neighborhood coffee shop.

Simply the best! The staff are kind and knowledgeable, the atmosphere is great for working on weekdays or lounging on weekends, and the coffee will blow your mind. Every other coffee shop is now ruined for me, but luckily this treasure isn’t going anywhere (as evidenced by their expansion to two additional locations without losing a drop of authenticity!). Can’t believe the luck of the Cuerny neighborhood having this in their backyard. Spend an hour here watching the comings and goings and you’ll get it—a true local’s paradise.

Came here in hopes to have a unique Austin experience and have coffee with goats. Turns out the goats are in their own area. According to the staff guests had been feeding the goats too much and they were ramming small children. So when I brought my small child here not knowing this I was disappointed but understood. If I had known I probably would have saved myself the drive. That being said the coffee was good.

Great specialty coffee and delicious made-to-order food. While Butters and his new goat friend bring in folks from all over, this shop is renowned for its strong bond with its local regulars. If you come in frequently, you're bound to make friends with one of the welcoming baristas.

This place was better before so many self-important nomadic business people and people with children discovered it. I need more shade, less loud people not even attempting to keep their conversations private, and something *MUST* be done about the flies. ...but the coffee and the service is great.

Some of the best coffee in Austin, and also with Buttons the Goat

Come for the coffee, stay for the goat!

The original of 3 locations, they roast the coffee on site. The drive into lake way is beautiful. Very friendly staff, attention to detail and lovely atmosphere. The new deck outside offers a lot of seating and shade. Great spot to relax or get some work done. Butters the goat is out around noon everyday he was in a pen. They canned cold brew for me fresh on the spot. There’s about 15 parking spots but seems like enough for the area. If you live in the area this will be your new favorite local coffee shop.

Civil Goat is one of my favorite coffee shops :) The coffee is great and I love their chai. Small interior space (although very cute) and a large covered patio where you can see the goat! They’re food items also look tasty and I need to come back to try them!

I love everything about the goat. After being a customer for years, I figured I should write a review. There is no other place like it. ❤️

Awesome coffee and great staff. Thanks for the love Butters.

My favorite breakfast place!! Amazing, healthy food with great flavor, and really cute and comfy environment! Plus I love Butters the Goat!!

What a special place to fall in love with...

Lovely place to have in neighborhood. Would go across town for it, but please save room for those in the 'hood.

I visited on a Saturday afternoon and enjoyed a delicious cortado / purchased a bag of their freshly roasted Guatemalan beans. Super friendly people, chill vibe, amazing coffee! I’ll be going back for sure. A++

Food was delicious as was the coffee; service was excellent too. My only grievance was the lack of parking and general space indoors.

Cute little coffee shop with great atmosphere and friendly staff. They literally have a goat 🐐 as part of the staff, hence the name of the place. I had almond coffee ☕️ and it was great! Next time I sure will try their pastries and desserts, as I had to drool by looking at others 😅 Great place to come alone, casual meetings or with family.

Food and coffee are awesome and the goat is a brat 🐐😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂

They've got it all, Butters the goat, delicious coffee (both beans and freshly brewed) and sandwiches, very friendly and personable staff, and a nice deck/yard to hang out in. And if you live in the area they're convenient as it gets

Frank and Cole are amazing. I’m slightly addicted to the food at civil goat so I’m there several days every week and these guys rock. Just saying…

Nice environment. Pricey for the small coffee portion but tasty.

They don’t really feel like cooking anything after 2pm even though they don’t close until 3pm, so get there early. The coffee’s pretty good.

Good roast, the espresso was smooth and robust. Limited seating, but really good coffee. Staff is knowledgeable, and very friendly.

What a great friendly delicious civil and authentic place

Cole makes it Best! Kendrick really thought him good

Coffee is always great which is why I go back. Food is good too but pricey. Most benches and seating out back are damaged and not comfortable. Hopefully they can update. Inside is a good place to relax when seating is available. The goat is a great photo op but ‘uncivil’ (head butts for a donut) don’t hate just be cautious.

Quaint coffee shop with a real live goat as it’s mascot. Temperature inside was warm and seating is limited. I loved my cold brew coffee but cup size was very small. Overall a good spot!
