Wow what a great find. Was looking for a small out-of-the-way non-crowded place to grab some morning coffee and a small bite to eat. The customer service is exceptional. Extremely friendly and welcoming. The fresh croissants and craft coffee cannot be beat. I had no idea this place was here just minutes from our house. We will definitely be patronizing this place on a regular basis. We install support small local businesses. read more

As a newer resident of La Mirada, I love finding local coffee shops in the area. I was really excited to try this place as it was recommended to me by someone. I came mid morning on a Tuesday. It was packed with people on laptops. And the shop had a lingering smell of burnt toast I usually judge a coffee spot by their Spanish latte, if they have one. And they did! Unfortunately this one was nothing spectacular. Something about it seemed off. I also got their version of a sausage McMuffin. That was good! I always appreciate when a small coffee shop serves actual food and not just pastries. I was excited when I saw they offered coffee flights but, since I was taking the coffee to go, I wasn't sure if that was an option, and I didn't ask. Anyways I'd go back to try other drinks. read more

Great service, they were super nice and they even helped carry our food to the table and brought everything we needed. The avocado toast and ham and cheese toast were good and light, they both had yummy flavors even though they're pretty simple(not in a bad way). I got like a banana milk with matcha foam and it was okay, it was pretty sweet and my bf got a decaf Spanish latte and he loved it. Also got a chocolate muffin and it was sooooo good. Would definitely come back read more

This is a clean modern shop with a very friendly barista working the day we visited. We ordered a Flat White & Cortado. They both had nice latte art and were served in ceramic cup and glass which is something I really like a lot. I feel it elevated the experience greatly. Unfortunately the flavor of the drinks was not very good. They had a nice smooth texture but tasted off. I'm not sure how to describe it other then to say it was almost sour and had an unpleasant after taste. We did not finish our drinks. They are located in a strip mall with plenty of safe free parking. read more

One of my favorite coffee shops. My go to drink at any coffee shop is the honey oat latte. Here, at Civitas, it comes in a Large!! Yum!! I drive 10 mins out of my way to grab a coffee. Worth it every time. I've had no problems with service. Everyone is nice. read more

My go-to Sunday morning coffee & breakfast place. Their pastries are excellent and made on site. Service is always friendly and welcoming. I've also gone in sometimes on weekdays, and everything is just as wonderful. read more

10/10 each time I've had it. I've been mostly going with the honey oat latte and it has been consistent each time. It's not overloaded with ice which makes the price point worth the product compared to other spots I've tried in the area. Service has always been friendly. read more

Came on a Saturday, it was surprisingly very empty with one person studying so seems like it would be a nice place to study with large windows and good lighting! I didn't study here though so unsure how the wifi is. We ordered a strawberry ricotta toast which was pretty small and bread was thing but overall tasted good. It was a little pricey for the size. The honey lavender oat latte was delicious! Strong lavender flavor. Service was pretty quick, ordering occurs at a kiosk. Parking is really easy as it's located in a plaza. read more

Civitas Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - La Mirada, California

I have to say I do love their coffee but their matcha is okay! Lately this girl, Simran is really rude. She has an attitude and talks to her coworkers about customers as they leave. I feel she purposely made other drinks that were ordered after me because I had a few questions about the strawberry matcha. In the pictures it shows strawberry on the bottom however mine did not come that way and barley had strawberry flavor. Her words, "I hate when customers are so rude and don't interact it makes it awkward" but she in fact makes it awkward and is rude. Probably won't be back waiting 15+ min for ONE drink on my way to work. read more

Best croissants , spinach and cheese, ham and cheese , everything, croissant , donuts are original style from back in the day . Very very good pastries in general. My picky 11 year old daughter can't get enough of this place in the mornings recommend for sure. They get busy in the morning so order ahead or online if you're in a hurry. But best to eat there so you get the crispy goodness fresh out the oven read more

I was in town for a collectibles show and found Civitas on a whim. I was pleasantly surprised by the cortado and espresso that I ordered. I'm always a bit wary of new coffee shops about whether they can pull a decent shot. The staff did great! read more

I've been coming here for years and have enjoyed the customer service at the Downey branch. The service from the staff, especially Stephanie, has always been thorough and professional. Definitely recommend anyone looking to work with a credit union to come here. read more

Mixed feelings about this place. The good: located in a plaza with plenty of free parking, they don't charge for alternative milk, various drink options (coffee, tea), and they support local businesses. Inside the shop sold dried flower, refillable soap, and other things. The not so good: cortado tasted too bitter and the overall drink temperature was too hot. Unsure if it's a one off, since many reviewers really like this place. Might give it another try if I'm in the area, but probably wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

Came here mid afternoon on a Friday to try their matcha! My mom ordered a hot blueberry matcha with oat milk and I ordered an iced strawberry matcha with oat milk. The blueberry matcha was so good & I have to give credit as I've never seen blueberry being offered as a matcha flavor. I couldn't really taste the strawberry flavor in my iced matcha; however, one of the ladies that was working asked us how our drinks were and she offered to add more strawberry flavoring for me. I was almost done with my drink so I opted out but I do appreciate the check in & offer to make it better. There are some tables inside to sit at & there were some people sitting working on things throughout the time I was there. I would give this place another shot and try some of their coffee offerings next time! read more

I started running this weekend at La Mirada Creek Park down the road and came across Civitas on my way home today. Tucked away in a cozy little shopping center is this quaint, low key coffee shop with welcoming vibes. The baristas were friendly and were kind to tell me about their rewards program which I was eager to join. I ordered a large iced Spanish Latte and it was really good! Lovely notes of spice and cinnamon to complement a coffee forward drink. Thank you Civitas! read more

Civitas Coffee - Spanish Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - La Mirada, California

LOCATION - Nestled in a compact, "one lane" parking lot, Civitas Coffee is easy to find. With a long interior space, they have a handful of tables + seating. I believe they have WiFi but I didn't see too many outlets. The inside is clean but fairly basic. FOOD - This coffee shop had been on my list so I finally tried it for the first time. I went with an Iced Spanish Latte with whole milk and it was so delicious! From the looks of it, they use coffee beans from Jetty. You can really taste the rich boldness of the beans but it's still creamy and just sweet enough to make it smooth. One of the better tasting coffee's around! SERVICE - I was happily greeted and felt welcomed by the barista. She was wonderful. Couldn't have had a better first time experience! read more

Came in for the first time today and it was a nice experience. From the ambience to the friendly service I'd 100% come back. I was recommended by some friends next door who cut my hair and this makes me want to come in earlier for my appointments to get an Ice coffee. read more

I've been looking for blueberry matcha lattes around my area and stumbled upon this place. I decided to come by on a Monday morning, and there are a few people sitting and doing work in the cafe. I got the regular blueberry matcha latte and it's not bad, although it's not my favorite. I think the blueberry flavor wasn't distinct flavor which also affected the matcha. The price was also $6.70 which is slightly higher than usual matchas. Service is fast so maybe I'll be back to try other drinks. read more

I am so obsessed with this coffee shop! The staff is always so friendly. My go to is the Ices Spanish Latte. I get it 3-4 times a week! Its so delicious! Their espresso is just so fresh and tasty. 10/10! read more

Great cortado and a great latte. My wife really loved her drink. You can taste the quality in the espresso and the prices weren't outrageous. Staff was friendly and patient vs. too hip and cool to talk to you. We found them in a random search online because we were nearby and so happy we have them a try. Very clean facilities and an easy to access restroom when drinking your coffee there. read more

First time here. Had a pumpkin Almond croissant and a small hot Marsala chai. Very flavorful. Must try. Cool and chill coffee shop. Baked goods made in-house. Chill music playing. Service was very good. It's Friday November 21st 2:30 pm rain stopped and enjoyed my little stroll of 7 minutes from the Concept III Car Repair shop. Thank you for being here. Really made my day. read more

Nice pure coffee shop. On the small size. I had a drip coffee but I should have asked what was brewing. It must have been a dark roast as it was a bit strong. That was my Bad. All in all I would go back again but ask more questions. read more

Had to swing by my tailor to rescue my jacket that almost caught fire on my desk heater (long story... it almost turned into a bonfire). Down the street was @civitascoffeeco -- a spot my husband's been raving about. Finally stopped by, and yup... the hype is real. Hash from @dots_mini_doodles tagged along for a coffee selfie, and the coffee? 10/10, strong enough to make me hope there's a toilet nearby. Bonus: I even dropped off a few flyers for my friend's spa & wellness center‍ @alanawhittier Hidden gem, good vibes, mission complete! Cheers friends IG @sipps_stops read more

Great food! Most of the pastries are hand made in house, the service is so good. Great place to visit for great coffee and a pastry!

Civitas Coffee - Blueberry match - Coffee & Tea Near Me - La Mirada, California

Civitas Coffee, located inLa Mirada, CA offered amazing flavors and customer service! This place had so many options and each was tempting to try. We enjoyed the welcoming service from the baristas, and each of them were super helpful in guiding us through their popular options. We ordered a hot Honey Oat Latte and it was a comforting and warm drink to start the morning. The drink had a uniqueness in flavor that differed from a lot of honey oat lattes we've tried. The honey was more apparent in this drink--and richer. It contained a light sweetness that soothingly passed down your through like a gentle candy. The flavors blended super well with the coffee and this drink is definitely something we will return to get. We also ordered a hot Strawberry Rose Latte, a seasonal drink introduced during their Valentine's season. This drink wasn't floral, but contained a delicious tarty sweetness from the strawberry. They had a cold brew that can be layered with a strawberry rose cream top as well. This drink was so delicious, containing a light rose essence, espresso, and strawberry syrup. Unfortunately this drink is only seasonal, but we will be coming back for this drink exclusively! Civitas offered plenty of toast options and pastries! We got an avocado and butter croissant that tasted amazing! They have great food options, but prices are pricey. The service at this location was amazing and everyone was so caring and attentive. They're known for their matcha latte and Spanish latte, so if you want to try a popular option, go for those! They also have a great environment for studying as most customers are considerate of noise. They also have a self checkout kiosk to avoid the line! But we recommend talking to the kind baristas! read more

Ok the foam on their hot drinks is soooo nice and thick! Definitely recommended. We also tried the iced latte and we felt it was missing boldness. Really nice staff and clean environment. read more

i've visited civitas twice now and both times it wasn't too busy or loud. they play lofi music and its a quiet environment good for studying or getting some work done. not that much seating - a couple of tables and a windowsill bar with high stools. there's a big parking lot! they also sell items from small businesses and refillable soap which is cute to look at while you're waiting for your drink -no charge for alternative milk which is always a plus -iced cookie butter latte (3/5): this is a seasonal item. it didnt really taste like cookie butter though :( -hot honey oat latte (5/5): strong and flavorful! the honey makes it fairly sweet though if you're not a fan of that overall, a solid cafe to grab a drink and do some work! read more

Service was quick and friendly. Drinks were great! Love that they have an option for large iced drinks. Tried a Spanish Latte which I absolutely loved and a Vanilla oat latte which was also great! This shop will definitely be added to the rotation of shops I visit often. read more

Cute place, cute decor, cute gifts The barista was very kind and sweet. Tried the chagacino bc the mushroom hype so was interested to try. Made with oat milk so it's nutty and creamy, lightly sweetened. It's made well, it's good drink but not sure if it's for me. Maybe it's for you? read more

We took a group of youth students from our church in AZ to Cali and every morning we had a standing order here. I always would rather get products from a local spot and this place did not disappoint! They were so kind and made our order perfect every morning. They even delivered it to us by the nicest people and would drive to wherever in the Biola campus that I was in need of getting my leaders their delicious morning pick up. For an out of towner this place slapped I recommend you go check them out as the coffee is quite great but the people are truly some of the nicest I've engaged with in awhile. read more
