Hot  Chocolate made for me - A paper cup of hot chocolate with a personalized label addressed to Ronald N., placed on a table outdoors.

After months of not having Philz Coffee I started to order my drink through the app. I will say that ordering through the app compare to going there in person to order makes a lot of difference. I am guarantee the time that my drink will be done. It does show you the barista that is making your drink on the app. Starbucks and Peet's Coffee will not tell you who is making your drink but will tell you a time frame when your drink will be done. Working in Berkeley for almost six years I been going to this Philz Coffee after work. I have seen lines in the morning with people ordering their drinks. Thankfully for the app it does make it easy to have your drink ready when you arrive there. It is hard to find a seat to sit down at since there are people occupying it for their studies. I do love the view when you are drinking outside. Keep up the good work Philz

Love Philz, but this is the most soulless location I've ever been to. The baristas have no personality and so it goes with the customers. I felt like I was surrounded by zombies. Nobody was mean, but there was such a weird, lifeless vibe, and I would know because I went to Sunset View Cemetary and Golden Gate Mausoleum right before I got to Philz. At least my icy mint mojito was perfect as always.

Rosè cold brew (my all time favorite!)

Philz Coffee *never* misses! Philz is one of the best cafès in the Bay Area, and this location is my personal favorite. The baristas/cashiers always greet you with a smile, and patiently assist you with your order. The cafè also has a very chill vibe, and you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The coffees are good, strong, and affordable. My personal favorites are the honey haze and rose...who would've guessed you could have pink coffee? :) Now I must admit the service can be a wee bit slow, but that is only because the place is so dang popular! Order ahead online or prepare for a (worthwhile!) wait. Looking forward to my next stop at Philz!

I cannot get enough of Philz!! I absolutely love this location as the barista's are so nice and definitely know how to make great coffee. I've been to other Philz and the employees here are so sweet, came in one day after cashless policy began and they accommodated me as I only had cash on hand. Tipped them the cost of the coffee plus more as I knew I would definitely come back because of great service and delicious coffee! *parking lot is a little small and gets full fast but there is some street parking*

This location is so good! Our barista (Pemma) made our drinks so tasty and perfect. We ordered a mocha tesora, honey haze & philtered soul. I'm a philz fanatic and I would def go back to this location. If you see this, thanks girl for the delicious drinks!

I feel like I give a lot of 5 star reviews but I think Yelp steers me to the best places and so it snow piles. I still wish Yelp allowed for half rating increments - are you guys listening? Philz is as good as it gets for drip, gravity brewed coffee. Yes, it does require a bit of a wait, so don't be in a rush to get in and out. They have a menu of different brews at different strengths. I order a dark roast, which was fresh, smooth, balanced, rich, everything good!

Iced Honey Haze
Jordan R.

This Philz is always on point (I prefer this location over College Ave) Drink - 5/5 - Iced Honey Haze (my favorite) Vibe - 4/5 - Pro: Very vibrant atmosphere - busy at 11:30 am on a Friday - Con: It is small and has limited tables - They do have tables outside (if you're lucky, you'll sit by all the puppies visiting!) Customer Service - 4/5 - Grateful to the barista who asked me to try my drink first and offered to fix anything - She made it 100% good - thank you!!

20 minutes to get at best an overpriced, adequate cup of coffee when there were three people in line ahead of me was ridiculous.

Ask the Community - Philz Coffee

Is there indoor seating?

Last I checked (around the last week of March '21) they have a few seats indoors and in person ordering is back at the counter! They also have a few outdoor tables set up.

Is the Mint Mojito alcoholic since it's a mojito?

No, Mint Mojito does not contain alcohol. It's a coffee beverage with a mint flavor and "Mojito" is only part of the title

Are there any outlets there?

Yes there's outlets there, but only by certain seats. There is also one strip outlet by the bench seats.

South Berkeley

I'm slowly making my way through all of the new matcha cafes in Berkeley. But I fear I might pause…read morebecause Forest Tea Bar has my heart! First off, the vibes are so zen, even if it's extremely busy! I came with my friend, both of us Japanese. It was a nice change of pace being in a cafe like this. It's common in Japan for cafes to be more western, so she was shocked that this cafe was more minimalistic, Asian-inspired, haha. There's bar seating plus indoor and outdoor tables. Most customers are Cal students studying or working, and seats can be limited. Communal seating is communal, and there's seating outside too. The service was great! We sat at the bar so we could watch what was happening. We loved how sweet one of the workers who helped us was. Kind service, and they put time and care into making each drink. Wait times can vary, but it's so worth it! I love any Japanese tea--matcha, hojicha, I'm all there! But I especially loved how they have genmaicha. I got the Genmaicha Latte with Oat Milk. It was perfect, subtle sweetness and roast, and a nice earthy matcha blend. I'd get it again. My friend enjoyed her Hojicha Latte, and they were kind enough to accommodate her request and give us Hojicha Tea as well! Everything was great quality and delicious. Forest Tea Bar is a wonderful cafe in Berkeley to get a matcha or other tea drink. Find them off Shattuck Ave. with street and metered parking around. Looking forward to coming back again and again!

Small, high-quality matcha tea bar with a super simple aesthetic. This place was absolutely…read morephenomenal! They whisk everything by hand--none of that premade matcha sitting in a pitcher. You can taste the effort (and maybe the arm workout too). I think there are only about three staff members making drinks at a time, so if you come during peak hours... yeah, you will be waiting. Patience is part of the menu. If you're not about that waiting life, I highly recommend coming on a weekday before the rush. Trust me, your future self will thank you. Also--no bathrooms and no parking, so plan accordingly. Street parking is your only option, so may the odds be ever in your favor. Overall, I would definitely come back... even if it means circling the block a few times first.

Mind Coffee - Earl Grey Cream Cloud ($8)

Mind Coffee is one of my favorite coffee shops in Berkeley - it's easy to miss unless you know…read morewhere to look. I came here recently for a pick-me-up while I was walking near campus. It was an unexpectedly warm day, so I stopped in for an iced caffeinated beverage. I was indecisive when it was my turn to order, so the barista recommended the orange blossom matcha sparkler. This sounded intriguing and refreshing, so I decided to give it a try. My beverage was prepared about two minutes after I ordered it, and I was immediately refreshed after the first sip. The orange blossom flavoring was very subtle and provided just the right amount of sweetness and floral essence to counter the matcha's bitterness. The fizziness made this a perfect drink for a hot day. I've tried Mind Coffee's espresso on a prior visit, and I can now say they succeed in both the coffee and matcha categories.

I was absolutely stunned when I first walked in. Mind Coffee feels like you're immersing in an art…read moregallery, apple store, forest, and a craft shop all at once. We ordered an Americano, the Earl Gray Matcha Einspanner Latte, and the Sakura Matcha Mindspanner Latte. The presentation was gorgeous, from the cups to the cream. The Sakura Matcha Mindspanner was definitely my favorite all around. The hint of sakura combined with the bold matcha was a very fun flavor experience. I think sadly, in the Earl Gray Matcha Einspanner, the matcha overpowered the earl gray. The flavor was there, but it was extremely subtle (don't get me wrong, I'd definitely get it again). Also, their espresso is unmatched. It really reminded me what a good espresso shot should taste like. The staff here were super friendly right off the bath. Even though there is an ordering kiosk available, they still went out of their way to greet us and let us know that they are there to also take orders and answer questions. I was also a bit bummed that they were sold out of their Orange Blossom Latte. I feel like it would taste like an orange creamsicle. They were very reassuring that it's a regular menu item and that I can hopefully get my hands on one before it sells out for the day next time! I can't wait to see what they come out with next!

Parking was easy though, with plenty of street parking nearby. The person at the register was friendly and gave helpful tips and recommendations. While waiting, we spent time watching the co-op roasting facility in the back through the glass windows. That is what really makes this place stand out. There is indoor seating but at 11 am it was completely full! There was some outdoor seating that was open. We tried the rose latte and it was spot on. The rose flavor was subtle and well balanced, not overpowering at all and the coffee was delicious! The only downside was that there were no gluten free pastries available that day, although I have heard they sometimes offer them. Overall, great coffee, a relaxed vibe, and a unique experience that is worth checking out and we will be back!

We ordered an iced mocha and two of their pastries. I thought the coffee tasted pretty solid, it wasn't too sweet and the pastries was really good.

There are plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. It's super cool that they roast their own beans in-store.
