Rich Beans Coffee

Always a must when coming to see a show at the Civic Center. The line can definitely get long prior to an event, but it moves quickly and I have always been able to get a seat within the first few minutes of standing after ordering. I love that you can add all your own cream/​sugars to your drink. Delicious baked goods, espressos, and chai tea! They also have some interesting local art hanging up along with random books to thumb through.

Reasonable prices. Speedy service. Plenty of space (depending on the timing of your visit).
Rich Bean’s Coffee (RBC) is a great place to hang out prior to a show at the Civic Center. If you’re like me, you can show up early to get the free parking, maybe grab some dinner at a nearby restaurant, then chill out at RBC for 30 minutes prior to the show. This is of course assuming you’re not looking for booze. If that’s your thing, they have that available to the left of the main entrance. RBC has food as well, but I’ve never tried it. Their drinks are quite enjoyable though. The coffee is pretty good (and cheap-​ish). I had a cappuccino yesterday that was quite yummy, and for a small, it was $ 3.50. The large was $ 4.50, which isn’t bad considering the large actually looks kind of… large…
