Reviews of Civil House Coffee (Coffee Shop)

Jesse B

Great coffee in a beautiful place. The big windows let in a lot of light so it’s a pleasure to work here on my laptop. There also are nice touches like a record player and records on one of the walls. The barista I met was really friendly. Recommended, a great place!

Five stars because it is so beautiful, has great coffee, and has plenty of staff during busy hours. I will saying don't go here looking for a deal, the coffee is EXPENSIVE!! Worth the money, but just be aware. Another note, they don't have almond or soy milk, they have oat milk and macadamia nut milk. Didn't try those yet.

I’m here several times a week for delicious drinks. Mostly their batch brew, but macadamia nut milk lattes as well. Gluten-free and vegan snack options as well. Great people, great vibe.

Great coffee shop with great people!

Nyalee Hubbard

This place was really cute and fun! The coffee was great. However, I had to knock off a star because the barista forgot to make my drink and I had been waiting longer than 15 minutes. Unfortunately it ruined my first time experience but, I am willing to give it another try next time I make my way up there!

Richard Taylor

Great ambiance! Great service! Great coffee! Food options were tasty but would have been better if they could have been warmed.

Excellent 3rd Wave Shop. The staff is very friendly. Also...THEY ARE SERVING PROUD MARYS!!! Proud Mary’s people?!?!?!?!?!?!? Run don’t walk. :)

AK Nemesis

They answered my questions, and they had great coffee, so i recommended this coffee shop!

Matt Ray

Good.

Thuy Heykoop

The coffee was REALLY good and perfectly priced. I liked the inside as well - it was super easy to work there! Parking is a little annoying (downtown meter parking during the week), but it's not their fault! It would be perfect on the weekend though when you dont have to pay for parking!!!

Ronald Stafford

The service was great and the make you feel welcomed.

M Riley

Just another over priced coffee shop no atmosphere or personality.

Jacob Betts

Civil House provides downtown Kalamazoo with a true specialty coffee experience! Expertly extracted espresso, perfectly textured milk, and precisely brewed pour-overs make for a wonderful intersection of craft that is sure to impress. The space might be smaller on a busy day and parking might be difficult at times, but the Civil House experience is completely worth it. Next time you're in Kalamazoo, I'd highly recommend stopping by!

Morgan Combs

Jessica Voigts

Kalamazoo's newest coffee shop is quite welcome! Civil House has excellent beans from several roasters, friendly and talented baristas, a gorgeous space (high copper ceilings!), sunshine galore through the enormous windows, and useful seating (plugs everywhere, for those who like to work at coffeeshops). Free wifi, long hours (7am-7pm), and a lovely sense of community.

You just found your new favorite place. Best coffee shop in the state of Michigan--no exaggeration. I met Mack, the owner, when he worked at Fido, and he is absolutely amazing! He trained in hospitality in Nashville and carries that expertise about Coffee with him as a barista and a manger. Civil House makes you feel like you are in the 1950's where everyone knew everyone and community is close connected. Mack remembers your name, will ask you questions about your life, and is really intentional about making you feel like this isn't just a coffee shop, it's your place that you are welcome in. On top of that, the coffee is the best coffee I have ever had. Ever. No contest. They are passionate about how they make and brew their coffee, at every step of the process. Also, Civil House is a beautiful atmosphere. The big front windows are great for people watching and day dreaming. The exposed brick, live plants and bar seats make you feel so dreamy and at home. The fact that it's attached to Rhino is just a plus, because there are always people working and chatting. It's so friendly! Everything about this place is a perfect representation of the heart of Kalamazoo and why people from this city love Kalamazoo SO much.

One of my favorite parts of travel is finding local coffee shops in each town. Civil House caught my eye as we were walking to another establishment for a quick breakfast. We were not disappointed with the change. The coffees were delicious and smooth and the toast...wow. We got the Found Nemo and it was incredible. The atmosphere is very open and airy and the service was great.

Andrew Elegante

Lovely coffee shop with a decent variety of offerings. We had Golden milk (turmeric) lattes that were very nice. Really enjoyed the decor and comfy seats. Didn't hurt that there was a very cute baby there toddling around with a big grin on his face (no guarantees you will see this baby but no guarantees you won't either...)

Kaya Diker

Super friendly staff. Bright and clean (including restrooms) place. Unfortunately, lack of comfy seats and no free parking

Anna Earl

Great coffee and a great atmosphere. Baristas were very friendly and helpful when ordering. Would highly recommend for any coffee occasion. It’s a great spot to have a nice coffee date or spend hours working on your computer. The staff is also very friendly and create a upbeat and friendly atmosphere.

Matthew B. Douglas

Incredible coffee, even better people.

Mark Zavada

The best coffee I've found in Kalamazoo! Awesome location and great staff.

jessie burton

some of the best tea i’ve ever had!!! like its worth the price because it is so good :) and such a cute place!

Mike Lowes

Another great coffee house in the burgeoning Kalamazoo scene. Good choices of roasts for a pour over. $4 for a pour over. Plenty of seats and cubbies for working.

arkofconversation

Super thankful that great coffee has come to lower Michigan! Mack & Megan are so great! Love the design and they carry Proud Mary's coffee which is an all time favorite. Future visits planned!

Erin Schultz

Great place, friendly staff and can make a kid temp hot cocoa!

David Nivala

This is a great coffee place. Friendly, knowledgeable staff-great, interesting coffee-cool music-good location. Definitely give it a try.

Lauren Kujawa

Gorgeous building, staff was great and very attentive, and most importantly the coffee was delicious!

William Wright

Only problem was that so many people loved it, and I couldn't find an open seat!

Ahmed Alfaraj

The place is so nice and the latte is taste perfect

James Sunnock

Amazing coffee- I would have to drive to Grand Rapids to get coffee this good... now it’s right here in our community. A great neighborhood vibe!!! Way to go!

William Hartley

Great little place for excellent coffee. Baristas know their stuff and have a real passion for great coffee.

David Johnson

Multi roaster cafe in the heart of downtown Kalamazoo. Great coffee, reasonable prices, and eclectic music. I will definitely be back.

Lisa O' Brien

Nice coffee shop with homemade flavors.

Michael Jefferies

The best pour over coffee in town, maybe even the state. The big windows and minimal decor work nicely with the downtown location. Good vibes. Clientele are the cool kids in their 20s of Kzoo, and middle aged professionals trying to hold onto their former cool kid identities. The best advice I can give to anyone would be to just tell Mack to make you something awesome. He'll know what to do. If I had one wish it would be that they could lower their prices, but...we all have to earn a living so I don't hold any grudges.

Elliott Parcells

Nice coffee shop with an excellent location and ambiance. Great coffee and espresso. Make sure to pay the meter!

Sarah McCollum

My fiancé and I visited here last week and tried their pour over coffee.. it was so good we got second drinks! Their dirty chai and iced Americanos are to die for! I also tried their almond log, and paired perfectly with their pour over coffee!

Chelsea White

Delicious coffee! The tea selections are great as well!!

Frank Antias

Great coffee spot and great coffee too.

Riley Crawford

Great place for great coffee

David Furchak

A great place just outside the heart of downtown Kalamazoo. The drinks are tasty. The windows face west and depending on the time of year it might be a warm glow or a baking sun!

Molly Westmaas

Civil House is doing coffee right! Carefully selecting roasters to source from (currently Madcap, Proud Mary, Verve and Quills.) Baristas are knowledge and happy to share the process behind crafting these delicious beverages! The atmosphere is warm and they focus on being a space that brings people together.

coolerino

cool latte art, but pretty expensive otherwise. $4 for a black coffee. for more variety, better hours, and a better atmosphere, would recommend water street. kind of the owner to comment, but even with variety mentioned, it does not hold a candle to everything water street does (and for less money, too).

Rachel Wiener

Seriously one of the best cappuccinos I've ever had, and the staff is warm, helpful, and inviting.

Sam lampen

Best coffee in town. Genuinely friendly service. Great atmosphere. Reasonable prices. High class coffee without the snobbery that usually goes with it.

Tish B
