Philz Coffee

People here are lovely and helped me find my perfect drip coffee. I had never been to Philz' and did not know what to order but the friendly barister helped me figure it out. Unfortunately - not by any fault of Philz' I ended up not liking my drink which was a dark roast with oat milk. I guess it's just not for me. Regardless if my taste, I love the place and you should try it too

I'm always in for Philz to check out the hype, officially a fanboy and I'm hooked! This joint is super dope, yummy solid espresso, I am addicted to the Dark Roast Jacob's Wonderbar blend, phenomenal flavor and tones.. I'd even go to say one of the best I've had for sure. Best coffee in California, period. I also really dig the comfy, quirky, unique and chilled vibes and tones of this chain, it's really comforting, welcoming and a rad jam. The service is friendly and thet aste and flavor are on point. I've literally been in SF the past two days and already visited four individual Philz joints. Man this coffee joint is dope, I'm in love. Shut up and take my money! Gosh knows what goes into this, but you have to drink the hype trust me.

The coffee was good. The food was terrible. I ordered a breakfast burrito and a breakfast sandwich. The breakfast burrito was very very small and was not that good. The breakfast sandwich was horrible and both over priced for what you get. My wife ordered a chicken pesto sandwich and it was much bigger, and she liked it. That's what I should have gotten.

Philz really figured out how to separate themselves from the oversaturated coffee market. 1 cup at a time is their motto and very unique offerings and absolutely delightful. The staff at Folsom and Beale are bright and cheerful no matter how busy.

I stopped in for a coffee during my morning commute. I waited about 15 minutes and still the coffee wasn't ready. I had to tell them to forget about it as I was now late. Part of the issue is the number of virtual orders but it is compounded by multiple employees laughing, joking and sitting in the back during the morning commute rush.. Great coffee terrible customer experience.

The coffee is ok. However, the mocha tesora tastes mostly like cocoa powder (not chocolate). I don't think they're using a good chocolate, and the drink could also use more coffee. Also: I noticed that the woman who works at the cash register handles the coffee cups by holding them from the top, with one finger touching the inside the cup. Instead of just holding the cup with all her fingers on the outside like most people. And going directly from the register to the cups without first washing her hands. Sorry for the call out but that's not sanitary.

This Philz Coffee is my favorite coffee shop in San Francisco SoMa area. I usually order Iced Coffee Rose, and this is my super favorite at Philz Coffee. The favor is really refreshingly. If you are around here please try this coffee shop :) Hope you guys enjoy the coffee experience here!

Man this place is amazing. I don't get this type of coffee in the valley. Very good quality coffee and fresh. I had the pumpkin slice also and wow so scrumptious.

Mint coffeee!?! I was skeptical but yes yes yes service was adorable and helpful , clean atmosphere with lots of seating to chill munch and sip

This Philz was the only one open on a Sunday morning, so I headed over there before going to the Convention Center. It's about a 15 minute walk to Moscone, which was great. I had the mint coffee, classic style, and it was just as good as I remember it being. I also grabbed a breakfast burrito for breakfast and a Danish for later. Both were solid. This is at no fault of the cafe, and they tried to diffuse the situation as best that they could, but a homeless man did venture into the shop and start harassing patrons, especially those that did not respond to his requests for money. It's really sad to see this happening all over the city.

Quick and tasty coffee shop, workers are all very friendly. I've been coming here for over a year now and they definitely have some consistency issues. Depending on your barista, your drink will have different levels of sweetness and taste. Most of the time they get my order right, but today they gave me a hot instead of ice, I also ordered a light cream and this looks and tastes like regular. They have some problems here, but I'll still order from them just because it's better than Starbucks.

Everything as expected here. Bathroom was mostly clean. Not busy for a Tuesday around 10:15a. Music may be a little loud if you're studying.

I'd give ZERO stars if I can. RUDE baristas with an attitude fighting with each other and directing that towards customers. We ordered our coffees on a Sunday (not at all busy) and waited for more than 20 mins. None of the baristas were making it and when we followed up, the barista guy lied to us saying someone else took it. When he started to make it, he was banging everything in frustration!!! Never coming back!.

I usually get the Mint Mojito, but I was in the mood to try something new. I described the type of coffee that I usually get at other places, and she was able to handcraft a drink that I liked! It usually comes iced, but they made it hot for me, since it was drizzling that morning. I don't remember every detail of the drink, but I know it had oat milk in it as well as honey. It was really good. It's cute inside.

Staff was nice, restaurant was cute but the rose coffee tasted weird and the breakfasts were all the frozen reheat in microwave type. Not my jam.

AMAZING! This location really hit the spot after landing in from the east coast. The baristas take their time to brew fresh coffee per drink. We were super pleased! There's plenty of street parking right outside.

The iced mint mojito is so good!! Light and creamy with a mix of minty coffee flavor. Nice spot to get some work done.

The most consistent philz I've been to! Plus the people are soooo nice! Try their winter blen!

I hadn't been to this location before. I ordered via the app and picked up in the store without any problems. Service was fast and friendly and the shop was clean. The coffee was standard Philz: hot and flavorful. I'm not sure how many other shops I walked past to get to this one, but it was at least 5... for me, Philz is worth the trip.

Coffee was good (as usual for Philz) cinnamon roll was ok (standard bakery fare), but pretty confident the egg & bacon burrito was potato and egg with zero bacon. The real issue was the general condition of the facility: had to bus trash from previous customer in order to have a place to sit, the door on the unisex restroom does not lock (or even close securely), the toilet was filthy, and the faucet in the basin was literally falling off. I'll get my coffee at a different place in future.

It's always time for Philz but especially on a gloomy Friday fall morning. This location is by far one of the cleanest, spacious, and quickest ones I've been to in the city. Not too heavy foot traffic so fairly easy to get in and out or just lounge around

For the location of being in the financial district of San Francisco, I must say, this is probably a lovely getaway for someone to get some coffee during business hours! My wife and I came to San Francisco for a little getaway. We had a hankering for a midday coffee and were close to this Philz coffee. Upon entering, you are welcomed by spaaaaaace!!! There is so much space in here it's amazing!! I personally don't particularly fancy crowded spaces, and this Philz coffee being in the middle of one of the most busy cities in the world has a lot of space in it and I absolutely LOVE it!!! Service like most Philz was very welcoming and hip. The place is lavishly decorated with memorabilia of local lore. They have loads of seating space inside for you to set up a laptop, enjoy a book, or even just wait for your cup of delicious coffee. Oh, did I not mention how good the coffee is?! It honestly speaks for itself! Try a cream gingersnap or tesora, or a minty mojito, you are in for a treat! Overall; prime location, great coffee, and space in a bustling city!

I LOVE Philz coffee. It's one of the only coffees I order that is a guaranteed pick-me-up (this stuff is STRONG). I enjoy studying here, and have slowly been working through the signatures menus. If you want something milder/more plain, I recommend the Tesora. I'm also a fan of the mint mojito if you want something with a refreshing aftertaste. I also recently tried an off-menu drink called the oatmeal cookie and it is amazing! 10/10

first time at philz not too impressed Coffee didnt taste as great as i thought and the barista gave me attitude when i asked for a sleeve plus the cup leaked

Philz coffee is delicious and my favorite. I don't drink coffee often but Philz I'll do any day. I'm not an adventurous Philz coffee drinker. I like ecstatic and mint mojito. They are very similar. Very approachable and easy to drink, especially if you get it the Philz way: sweet and creamy. This location is awesome! Personally, I think everyone is really kind and always happy to fix your drink if it's not up to par. Besides the amazing service, clean facilities, and inviting atmosphere, the 5 stars is for the VEGAN PUMPKIN SLICE. I can't even explain how good this is, and it's vegan! It's so moist and soft and has a touch of pumpkin flavor. It's not overly sweet, not at all dry, and tastes so so good, without leaving me feeling guilty. It's got this wonderful bounce to it and perfectly soft to touch. Given it's subtle flavors, I'd imagine it'll go great with any of the coffees. My new favorite snack!

Absolutely horrible customer service, and the coffee was disgusting. Would never come back.

Philz Coffee Ratings: 4.5/5 Food: 4.5/5 - First time trying Philz and loved it. Did not disappoint me at all. I ordered the Jacob's Wonderbar under the dark & bold category. It's great. Tasted refreshing and chocolatey with a hint of fruit. I also added a splash of almond milk at no additional cost. Amazing coffee I would say for a chain coffee shop. Ambiance: 4.25/5 - Cute little cafe, super nice and interesting decorations indoor with lots of seatings available, so a good place to work or chill. The outdoor seatings are nice too. Masks are no longer required. Price: 4.75/5 - I got a large coffee and the order came up be to around $5.50 after tax. I thought it was a great price in SF and for good and high quality coffee. Definitely a steal. Service: 4.5/5 - The workers here are friendly and fast service. Provided recommendations and explained what cardamom was and let us smell a sample of it. Good experience ordering coffee here. BLUF: A big fan of their coffee and service, definitely will return to try out some of the other popular drinks too.

Well done Jabers! It all started about 17 years ago on 24th Street in the Mission District of San Francisco when Phil Jaber started Philz Coffee. Three years later, Phil's Son, Jacob took over as the CEO and lead the efforts to expand. We San Franciscan managed to keep Philz a secret for years, but the cat got of the bag when in 2015 this family business got the funding it needed to go global. Philz coffee is "slow" coffee, so if you are on the run and need a cup in 30 seconds, this is not the right option for you! But if you are looking for a tasty, strong and kick ass cup of coffee made by friendly and smiling faces who make sure your cup is filled with drips of exotic brew, then we are talking! We all have our favorites when it comes to coffee, but I am dark roast kind of guy and I can tell you that all the dark roast options on Philz menu are delicious. You may decide one is better suited for a specific time of the day, but taste wise, two thumbs up!

I love Philz! Honey haze and mint mojito are my go tos. I also enjoy taking home the cold brew to go in philtered soul. The coffee never disappoints except one time I opted for a large and it tasted too watered down. Overall pretty happy repeat customer. Can't go wrong with Philz!

Got a Sweet Harmony, which is Philz' take on the oat milk + cold brew that's trending among the big coffee chains. Pleasant balance of cinnamon, sweetness, and creaminess--not unlike a low-sugar horchata. The coffee flavor is very subtle underneath it all. Sausage breakfast burrito was passable--the tortilla was a little dry. A packet of Tapatío accompanied it, which added some much needed salt, acidity, and spice. Seasonal fruit danish was comfortably flaky and chewy. The dough was not as sweet as I was anticipating, and at first this was a disappointment but upon reflection, I appreciate that the coffee and pastry complemented each other's similarly unassuming sugar levels. A mixture of blueberries and lemon curd in the heart of the danish perked up its flavor with suitable tartness. It nonetheless left me longing for some slivered peaches, which are sweet, sour, and in session--hence competitively priced to replace the blueberries. Servers were friendly, fast, and accommodating. The other patrons were polite and readily willing to share space near the power strip. The cafe environment is both soothing and upbeat. There is an abundance of comfortable seating, although the bench along the Beale side needs more back-rest cushions. Today's music selection was a relaxing medley of low-tempo R&B. The decor is a cheery blend of plants, wall art, and LGBTQIA+ banners. As a portion of the cafe's revenue is donated to the Point Foundation, the Pride flags signify earnest commitment to diversity. The location is very satisfying. The view of East Cut Crossing ringed by sleekly honeycombed towers is as bucolic and urbane as one can reasonably expect this deep into the City's commerce-dense northeast. In all, though a few minor tweaks to the food and furniture would be welcome, I had a very enjoyable cafe experience here, and would strongly recommend sipping a cup of joe here next time your travels take you to the East Cut.

I love Philz Coffee!!! Tragically for my friend, they were out of chai , but they had a perfect coffee suggestion for her. Friendly staff, quick service! Drink Philz!

Grrrrrreat Always love me some philz. Decaf coffee with whipping cream. Chefs kisses..

So this is my situation right now: drank Philz at 2PM, currently 1:30 AM and I still can't sleep. Back story: Because I attended a concert on a Tuesday night, I was sleepy by noon on Wednesday so I made the wise decision to get coffee at 2PM. Also, I rarely drink coffee (maybe once every four months??). Decided to try the Philtered Soul (hazelnut, chocolate) but tbh I didn't think Philz was necessarily better than your standard coffee shops (again, I'm a coffee noob). My palette for distinguishing flavors in coffee obviously needs work. Aside from the flavor though, the caffeine kicked in. Ohhhh did it kick in at 3PM... 4PM... allllll the way until now. It's amazing how much sleep I'm losing. Truly. 3 stars for the taste. 5 stars for the coffee doing its job. Well played Philz.... too....well........

I am constantly under caffeinated and tired, and Philz (this one in particular) is my one true savior. Their blends are strong enough to carry me through the day. This location is perfect because it lines up with my commute, and I can slowly sip on my tesora as I am walking to work in the morning. I like being able to customize my drinks based on both creaminess and sweetness. Although I really like they gingersnap and mocha tesora, I tend to get regular tesora (creamy with almond milk and no sugar). Also, a little life hack: bring your own mug to pay for a small (plus, it keeps the temperature much better than one of their compostable ones). If you are in a rush, you can oder using their app ahead of time (often a life saver, but you can't use your own mug in this case).

The Mint Mojito Coffee is amazing! I came to SF on a business trip and one of my coworkers mentioned it. I'm so glad I tried because I think it's my new favorite!

This location is brighter (large windows to both Beale and Folsom streets; paint schemes; lighting) and therefore seemed nicer (cleaner) than many Philz locations. The spaciousness and outdoor seating is also a plus. Order-taking is quick even when they're busy, and it does get quite busy at times. Some days getting your drink is quick and other days not so much. You can order ahead for pick-up through Caviar, and they will have their own app eventually/soon. The closest Philz to my work so it gets an extra star.

When I worked at the Waterfront Area back in the 1990's, there wasn't anything back then; a sectional area that was just starting to develop. In current time, there are new high rise commercial and residential buildings. Also the temporary bus terminal for Greyhound passengers is there too. And across the street from the bus terminal is a busy Philz's coffee shop. Just like the ongoing growth of the area, Philz's has added more locations including the Waterfront location. This is a sleek and spacious café with plenty of comfortable chairs and recliners to get really comfortable and take your mind to another level. My latest visit, I had the popular Iced Mint Mojito. For $5.00, the iced coffee with a mint leaf topping is a refreshing beverage to relax your mind and satisfy your thirst. There is free Wifi here. Out of all the Philz's locations and most café's, I liked this clean Philz's location.

My favorite Philz Coffee location in the city! It's a pleasant 4-block walk from my work and why I like this location so much is it's a bit out of the way from the main hustle and bustle. Every time I've come there's never been longer than a 10 minute line. The workers here are all friendly. I also like that they have outdoor seating which is perfect on a sunny day. My go-to drinks are the iced philtered soul and ecstatic. Sweet and creamy is so good though sometimes it feels like I'm drinking sugar and cream mainly so I'll try to tone it down a bit. But Philz is my favorite coffee chain with quality drinks that actually keep you awake when you need that caffeine push!

LOVE the mint mojito coffee, it's my favorite! I'm so impressed that Philz is able to offer so many flavorful unique coffees without adding sugary syrups. The staff is super friendly. You walk right up to your barista to order. They are flexible on milks with no extra charge. The cashier is trusting and you pay after you order to expedite your wait. I'm a fan or the process, the coffee, and the people. Highly recommend.

I love Philz!! It's been awhile since I've had Philz and I was glad I found one nearby work. It's a bit of a walk but worth it for some yummy coffee. Inside is similar to all Philz, super spacious and I loooove how it smells inside. All the employees I've interacted with have been super nice and welcoming. The environment is always great to be in! I used to always get the Mint Mojito (super basic, I know) but it is that good! I recently started getting the Esctatic and ALWAYS sweet and creamy! Sweet and creamy is the way to go!! When I had it again the other day, it reminded me how good Philz is. I've also tried the Tesora and that one is yummy too! I'm not a coffee snob but I enjoy a good coffee. I will most definitely be back to this location!

Guys, this place is busy busy busy in the mornings. Just accept it but don't let that long line deter you. It's right outside the temporary transbay bus station. Expect to wait. Inside is so cute and welcoming, with a bunch of stuff to look at from the artsy menu to the mouthwatering baked goods display. It took a while to place an order at the bar, even with three baristas working. But I got a Philtered Soul coffee and pumpkin chocolate loaf. Both were fabulous yummy choices. Loaf is on point, so delicious with the pumpkin notes coming through strong, and you definitely should choose to get it warmed up. Big enough for two or save the rest for a snack or next breakfast. I don't think I've ever sniffed my coffee so much before. They ask you how you want your coffee, sweet or not, cream or sugar, it's really personalized to your taste! Philtered Soul is a medium blend of chocolate and hazelnut and my new favorite cup of Joe. I want to try their mint mojito next... I've heard many many good things about it as a result of me just walking around with a Philz cup lol. Can't wait to go back and stand in line! I'm serious!

I still don't understand why there's no Philz coffee in New York! The mojito coffee is absolutely a-mazing! If you're picky with your coffee and you'd like to a) customize your coffee to every single detail including type of sugar & milk WITHOUT any communication issue b) avoid time waiting in line Go get Philz app! It's a very user friendly app with easy and clear instructions. I LOVE my honey mojito latte, it's by far my favorite non-alcoholic drink in San Francisco. (tip: if you LOVE the smell of mint, you can ask your barista to add a leave or two to make the entire drink more flavorful)

I tried the iced coffee rose today (a new drink they are testing out) and it was very tasty! It's interesting because they blend the rose water into the cream. You can still adjust it for light cream and light sugar. It kind of tastes like a rose latte but not quite as it's not frothy. Overall would definitely order this again!

The staff at this Philz is especially friendly! Other than that, this is a fairly normal Philz convenient to many workplaces in the area. The amount of space where you can camp out with a laptop is fairly limited though, which is a bummer. Be prepared to bump elbows with strangers. Note: there only one big table to work at apart from the smaller side tables. The height of this table is to accommodate handicapped folks, so keep this in mind if you're short. The table will probably be uncomfortably tall for you.

They accommodated an error I made through the app, even as busy as they all were they got me my order. I really appreciated the attention to detail. Big gracias to your amazing team!

If I were to join a cult, it would be Philz Coffee. Philz doesn't just serve coffee, their selection features only premium signature blends. Because it is not just a way to start your day. It is a lifestyle Drinking Philz is like listening to an aria or seeing an eclipse. In comes the blend, and it changes everything. The coffee fills with a hope, and that'll change again. Taste... Sip... Oh, that singular nut flavor! A cup filled with harmony, chocolate, maybe maple. It says, "Live still, I am life. Heaven is in your eyes. Is everything around you just the blood and mud? I am divine. I am oblivion. I am the god that comes down from the heavens, and makes of the Earth a heaven. I am love! ... I am love." You might ask yourself, "how can coffee make someone religious?" Try a cup of this coffee. If it isn't the best hot (or cold) thing to pour down your throat this week then you must have blown out your head. When being served this coffee of the gods, it is hard not to fall in love with the baristas. These holy servants of Phil are off limits to mere mortals. You must respect and admire their devotion. Beware the potency of Philz coffee--I heard a rumor once that doctors actually prescribe meth to recovering Philz addicts. The caffeine alone can make you shake. It is too much sometimes. Drink it too fast, and you'll feel like a strung out Tenderloin crackhead. Mostly it's a way for Alcoholics Anonymous members to feel alive again. For best results, ask for the coffee to be prepared "Philz way," which is medium cream and medium sweet, and you can show you are a true believer of Philz. Their snacks are delicious too. Avocado toast, eggs and hummus bowls. Their microwaved burritos are pretty decent too, but not the best place if you're seriously hungry. There is nothing more I look forward to Philling my morning cup with joy every morning from this location. Or any other for that matter.

Like all other Philz, this location has fast and friendly service. Because of its prime SoMA location, I imagine this is a very busy stop during the weekdays. Emily L. and I came for their classic mint mojito coffees (creamy, please!) on Pride and were pleasantly surprised by the overwhelming support for the LGBTQ community when we arrived. In addition to each barista having an assortment of pins proudly announcing their support for different genders and sexualities, this Philz also had a multitude of flags and a chalkboard explaining who each flag represented. My barista also asked if I'd like rainbow sprinkles on my drink in honor of Pride weekend -- um, absolutely! It was lovely. Decor aside, the drinks were as good as usual. The mint and cream really take away the bite of the strong coffee, and the large left me energized for many hours to come. Unlike the Embarcadero location, the baristas here did not overfill the cup with ice, so I got a well-sized portion for the amount I paid. It seemed that the line for mobile orders was longer than the line to order in person, so if you have to get a drink within crunch time, you may want to evaluate which is faster. I just really wish they'd ask for a name on the order and call out the name, rather than the drinks in the order. You know how many people order a large mint mojito? A lot. But I'll definitely keep coming back.

This used to be my favourite Philz, but will echo the sentiments of below review (most recent reviews filter) that the quality control has definitely gone down over time. I've had to send back my drink with increasing frequency until I've just stopped ordering from this store altogether. Hope the store can get the quality of its coffee back, because I would certainly go back for a Mocha Tesora if so :)))

Loud music, dirty tables and there was trash on the floor. go someplace else if you're looking for a place to work or catch up b/c you can't focus or talk with the loud music. The staff though is friendly and helpful hence the two stars for staff only! Didn't love the coffee either

Unlike the commercial blight that has become Starbucks, the emergence of a new Philz in a neighborhood that hasn't seen one brings unfettered joy, especially to those who live nearby and thought the comforting taste of a Silken Splendor could only come in the FiDi between meetings near the office or on a special excursion to more established, hipster-centric areas like the Mission or the Castro. Clearly, Rincon Hill must be coming into its own as a true residential enclave in order to warrant the spanking new Philz that suddenly appeared at Folsom and Beale, as unlikely a location as one could expect in these parts (photo: http://bit.ly/1Pw2JL7). Given that this is my seventh Philz review on Yelp, there is little in the way of revelation I can provide in terms of the quality of their brews. They're impeccable as usual, and the $4 Large Philtered Soul I had offered just the right amount of chocolate hazelnut sweetness to satisfy a late afternoon craving (photo: http://bit.ly/1PKwqGa). Based on their extensive baked goods collection, Jamie W. and I decided to share a $3.95 Cinnamon Twist which was just the decadent, oversized donut we wanted to have to spoil our dinner (photo: http://bit.ly/1QeMSOh). The modern industrial-chic space is pleasing although I wish they had a better configuration to add more conversational areas. Best of all is that it's open on weekends. COFFEE - 5 stars...Philz again AMBIANCE - 4 stars...fitting for this part of SoMa but extra chairs would be nice SERVICE - 4 stars...friendly and well-trained in their brewing TOTAL - 5 stars...Rincon Hill deserves the next link in the Philz chain

Come for a cup of the famous mint mojito iced coffee when you're in the mood to treat yourself, or just because :) I've been coming to Philz since college and Philz never failed to impress :) But be careful! A cup can very much keep you wired for hours. So if you're sensitive to caffeine, you might want to just drink...half a cup. Soy, almond milk is free so just ask. My recommendations: Hot - philharmonic, philtered soul, soooo good, hot chocolate Cold - mint mojito!

Located just a block away from my apartment, it's easy to pick up a cup of coffee on my walk to work. Love how they're open at 5:30am on the weekdays since I'm an early bird. All the baristas and cashiers here is so friendly. Highly recommend for your morning cup of joe!

What a delight it is to have This coffee shop near the Transbay Bus terminal! This establishment alone fires up my desire to be early to the bus stop. Each cup is individually made, so the length of time it takes to get a cup is a bit more than your average coffee shop. Notice on the menu that there are MANY offerings ranging from light to full-bodied coffee. Also, many types come with a fresh mint garnish. I thoroughly enjoyed my small cup of Philharmonic. This flavor/type came with fresh mint, which I felt was a great accompaniment to the skim milk I requested inside my coffee. I opted to grab a seasonal fruit Danish for breakfast. The flaky apple tart was worth every calorie--320 to be exact, which was specified on the little sign in the pastry display case. I will certainly be back as I'm curious about all the different types of coffee on the menu. I'm motivated to try them all!

Love this location! Other than the San Mateo location, this is my favorite, they have everything. Its big, roomy and clean. I work a bit far from this location (closer one on Front) but I decided to wake up earlier on a rainy Friday morning to get what I been craving for since this location started. Their **Cinnamon Twist! It totally did not disappoint. They did warm it up for me, so flaky and not too sweet. Like a churro but less dough with a mix of the top layer of a croissant. So freaken DELICIOUS! A good workout before diving in this amazing pastry. haha I normally get the ice mint mojito (the best) but I needed more caffeine. I got to tried their Philtered Soul, a hint of Hazelnut. Pretty good. I got it with light cream and light sugar. I think I can do without the cream next time. The barista that was helping me, she was very helpful. I really wish they have something like this location in the MARINA or higher up in the FIDI.

As an east-coaster, I knew I had to try Philz Coffee, as all my friends have raved about it over and over. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed with the quality of coffee. Although the atmosphere is great and the staff is very friendly, my coffee tasted a little burnt and odd. I got the Philtered Soul, and couldn't taste any Hazelnut coffee at all. I could barely drink half of it before I gave up and threw it away. My friends later told me to try the mint flavored coffees, so maybe it was just the one flavor. But I highly recommend against the Philtered Soul - save yourself the trouble and just grab something from Starbucks!

I can't describe how superb the service is here. After tasting my decaf coffee and telling the barista that it was way too acidic, she immediately said not to worry and that she would make a whole new one for me. She even reassured me that she wouldn't let me leave without a coffee to my liking. I ended up with the Swiss pure water. Note that the darker the roast the less acidic (a tip the employee told me haha). I had to add some water after but after that, it tasted pretty good! I can see why this place is flourished and also expanded to LA.

Very close to the greyhound bus station in San Francisco, I walked in for a quick cup of coffee on a Wednesday afternoon. The place has a beautiful interior design and feels like a great place to just sit and chill. As I walked in, I saw many students and professionals just working away(much like you would see in a Starbucks). The servers were very friendly, and suggested coffee based on our needs. I ordered a vanilla based coffee and found it a little less sweet for my liking, however, the server corrected it immediately and kept checking if the flavor was fine by me. Overall, it was a friendly experience and he service was awesome

Thanks Philz for a crappy start to my day!!! Luckily the cup of coffee is good. Guess they thought I wouldn't realize the charcoal bagel until I got to the office. Today, I was reminded why I stopped going to this particular Philz location. While the coffee is great and service behind the counter is generally good, the mobile orders can use a little help. Also, food service isn't consistent. How hard is it to properly heat something up, sometimes too hard apparently. Appears when this place is crowded and the lines are long, service is ticked down.
