Crowded!!! Beware of coming between 8-3 as you will likely not find a spot to wait. Order through the app as coming in to order will be 10-15min+. I’m a fair-weather fan of Philz but beware how busy this location can get.

What's not to love? Consistently good coffee, lots of variety in terms of roasts and flavors. Nice neighborhood to walk around and explore while having coffee. If you like a pour over style coffee, this is the place to go.Not bird friendly though.. bird spikes everywhere. Not sure how I feel about that. No bird poop.. but no birds either. Maybe we could have a bird feeder in an easier to clean area?

My friend told me she loved the iced coffee rose. I tired it and it tasted great.

Violent customers and workers. Don't believe in free speech or bodily autonomy. No "My body, my choice" here. https://youtu.be/P5Wmh2Hu_24

I was excited to try, but I wanted to like it more than I actually did. The menu was a bit confusing - labeled something like "coffee creations" I thought I was ordering 2 flavored lattes. Turns out one was just a coffee with the "notes" listed, and the other tasted like black coffee with hot chocolate powder mixed in. The regular coffee was pretty good, but not what I was trying to order. The coffee with hot chocolate wasn't great. Still 3 stars for creativity, and the coffee still being pretty good.

The coffee was great, perfectly prepared as per instructions. I would suggest, however, that one orders on the app on the way to allow time to make it. There were so many to go and uber orders, it took them 10 mins to make our coffee, and we were standing there. I mean, big deal, 10 mins, but next time we will order on the app and have it ready when we walk in. Employees are great here, though.

I just walked in, simply trying to order some coffee. Despite waiting for 5 minutes with nobody else in line, not a single barista was willing to take my order. Would not recommend, unless you have a whole afternoon to spare.

Terrible experience. I came here with about thirty minutes to spare during my lunch break and the coffee ended up taking about twenty five minutes to make. Be warned: THIS PLACE IS INCREDIBLY SLOW. Also, they just randomly put an entire mint stalk in my chai!? I did not ask for this and it was not pleasant. The chai was mediocre and watery, and I will not be getting it again. It was not worth the wait, and I wish I could give 0 stars.

I'm just so confused why it takes 25+ mins every time I order here. Just for one cup of coffee. Other Philz aren't like this. I could go out for breakfast at a restaurant and order a coffee in the same amount of time.

The mint mojito was cold and refreshing. The latte was like a warm hug.
