The original Philz Coffee Shop, and it's everything and original location should be. Quirky hippies working alongside Millennial professionals, neighborhood grandmas, hipsters, and tourists. As I went up to Lynette to order a large extra strong, extra sweet chai latte, she accommodated my tea and coffee wishes without hesitation, providing stellar, expert service with a smile. Robbie rang me up, and suggested I heat the seven pastries I bought, and asked me if I wanted them cut in half. 10 minutes later, my drinks, warmed pastries, and bagel with spread, salted cucumbers and tomatoes were ready. At $4.75 The Toasted bagel with spread, as described above, was the best value item on the menu. The total with tip, tax, and mandate was $31. $$$ out of $$$$$. Street parking available. Acceptably clean, gender-neutral bathroom, and wheelchair accessible round out the vibe of Berkeley meets Haight and Ashbury meets the Mission District. I would recommend Philz Coffee without hesitation.
