Abstract: We present evidence for a phase transition in a theory of 2D causal set quantum gravity which contains a dimensionless non-locality parameter $epsilonin(0,1]$. The transition is between a continuum phase and a crystalline phase, characterised by a set of covariant observables. For a fixed size of the causal set the transition temperature $$ decreases monotonotically with $epsilon$. The line of phase transitions in the $$ v/s $epsilon$ plane asymptotes to the infinite temperature axis, suggesting that the continuum phase survives the analytic continuation.
