Best cup of coffee? I ever had greater alarm. Good stuff. You need to wake up get a cup of this and it'll set your alarm straight.

I ordered off the menu. Like I thought it was close to a Caramel macchiato... but it was more like watered down coffee! It was gross!

Most places this is always a hit or miss sometimes coffee is on point sometimes is super disappointing…. And would love to ask them to remake it but sometimes i feel is such a hassle and can’t ask the person the did t do it right in the first place to do it again!

3.6 Some people love mint monitors but I don't. It reminded me of the first time I had a coconut drink. I should try something else.

Staff is super friendly. Had a cup of light-roasted coffee with a banana cake. The cake, I was hesitate to take it at first , but it tasted like homemade, yummmmmmmy. Coffee was full of aroma, for sure 😃. Good vibe to stay, quite and comfortable.

Their tagline is “we do coffee differently”, and I’d say maybe if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I’m a daily coffee drinker, but my taste is pretty simple: drip coffee, an americano or a latte is my go-to order. Philz apparently doesn’t think these options are good ones to offer at a coffee shop. I ordered a named coffee the barista recommended. I didn’t love it. Tasted like those coffee machine from gas stations that fill the cup with powder, then a dark liquid. Drank only half of mine. My travel partner loved their mocha, for what it’s worth.

I had to use the bathroom while shopping in castro and thought I might as well get some coffee. I can't have sugar so I didn't have high hopes for my cold brew when I found out they didn't have any sugar free syrups. I ended up ordering a small cold brew with just cream and two Splenda.

The first drink I took shocked me! Did they put magic in this cup? I can honestly say that this was the BEST cup of coffee I have ever had in my life which is saying something as I am an avid coffee drinker! I will be ordering some of their coffee for home as soon as I get back from vacation and will rave about Philz until I die.

If you ever get the chance to drink their coffee do it! And order a large!
