This is usually my go-to location for ordering through the app. Note: on the app, it's listed as the Gilman location. It's super convenient because parking is easy, and my scheduled drinks are always ready on time. Everything I've ordered here has been consistent, which I really appreciate when I'm grabbing something on the go. Overall, a reliable and convenient spot that makes app ordering really easy! read more

Philz Coffee - S'mores - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Berkeley, California

Situated on a private parking lot, there are a reasonable amount of parking spaces as well as street parking available. With plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, good music to complement your beverage selection, the vibes are welcoming. The menu is limited however the available selections are far from disappointing. Although I waited a few minutes to have my order taken, I was greeted upon entering and notified they would be with me shortly which I found to be communicative. I've frequented this particular establishment often enough to say they are rather consistent with the quality and service. read more

Decided to try a tiramisu latte. My friend ordered it on the app. Didnt have to wait that long to pick I'm not sure if i would consider this drink a tiramisu. To me it mostly tasted like a hazelnut latte which i dont mind. The coffee flavor seemed like a medium roast which i normally prefer in a coffee. read more

They always serve the best coffee with the ultimate customer service. Each person is so friendly and accommodating. They truly make each cup with love and compassion. I would love to come here anytime I'm in the area. Definitely recommend to all my friends visiting the Bay Area! read more

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 read more

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. read more

The guy who took my order was so nice he took the effort to ask me my real name because he saw I was hesitant when I gave him my "coffee" name. He made me feel welcome and seen. Very cool to see a team member who cares about their customers! Shout out Faisal read more

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! read more

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* read more

Philz Coffee - Iced ecstatic - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Berkeley, California

I think the baristas seem like lovely people, but ordering on the app should be turned off if the location is too busy to handle the volume of orders. I ordered 2 drinks on the app at 9:20 and received them at 10:05. The app had me checking in at 9:50 and the harried baristas just said "oh that's coming." When I actually got the drinks, one was made iced instead of hot (even though the label says hot...) I didn't want to wait another 45 minutes so just walked off with my coffee. I don't mean to at all denigrate the folks working here: they seemed rather stressed but kind. But maybe app ordering needs to be rethought here based on staffing? read more

Had a great experience here! Every time I've gone to a different Philz, I've had relatively negative experiences. Here, it's different! I came in to study, and Tajah took our order. They were extremely helpful and recommended my now favorite drink here! (Limited-Time Spiced Vanilla Soul). Anja made our drinks and they came out perfectly. Great experience overall, and I highly recommend! read more

A wonderful location that delivers on their drinks as usual and plenty of seating to get some work done. There is ample parking on the streets and in the lot too so no worries there. read more

Love this place. The people who work there are extremely friendly. The coffee is great. Highly recommend

I recently tried a new drink on the menu. At the counter, one of the staff members was very helpful and took time to show me how to edit my drink on the app, as I was having trouble changing it. I ordered two drinks--one iced and one hot. The app wasn't allowing me to change the drink to hot, and I clearly told the staff member that I wanted it hot. He even mentioned that he also prefers hot drinks on cold days. When the drink was prepared by another staff member, I tried it at the counter. A female staff member asked how it was, and I told her it was almost room temperature, not hot. I explained that I had asked for it hot. She responded that my order didn't say hot and mentioned that the milk would need to be heated first, but she didn't offer to remake the drink or heat it. I ended up having to take it home and microwave it myself. I found this experience disappointing and unusual, especially since I've been here many times before and my hot drinks have always been served hot. The lack of effort to fix the issue or offer a replacement didn't match the level of customer service I've come to expect from Philz. read more

I come here all the time before my work and order in advance ! My drink always comes either on time or a few min after it said it would be out. However when I always order my food I always have ask when is it coming out after waiting 10-15 min after the pick up time. They haven't start it because it's forgotten and they say they will get it started and no apology for the big delay ! That is unacceptable. People that order in line had their food before me. Please be more on top of online order, because what is the point of ordering ahead for people online to get their stuff faster. It's one thing to be behind and it's another to constantly forget and it happens all the time. I work in customer service and I am a manager. read more

I had asked The Husband to call the Philz Gilman location to get their time of closing for today Sunday 6/22/25, as the hours have changed drastically due to their location being short-staffed. Someone had answered and said that they were closing at 6:30PM, so we planned our day today around that. The current CLOSING hours are posted as follows: Monday thru Thursday 1:30PM Friday 5:30PM Saturday and Sunday 6:30PM We were there for a few hours, and imagine my surprise when we were informed at 4:30PM that they were closing at 4:30PM, due to "short-staffing". This closing at whatever time they felt like it is total AF bullshit. Today was not the first time it happened - it has happened a few times already. If the Gilman location can't get their shit together, they should close the location. At the very least, have REALISTIC hours posted, not "WE'RE SHORT-STAFFED SO WE'RE GONNA CLOSE EARLIER THAN THE HOURS WE POSTED" hours. This is absolutely NOT a knock on the employees, as they are doing a wonderful job. I'm just pissed that the Philz Gilman location doesn't have their shit together. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way. read more

Nice place to work. Good vibes. The vanilla date delight, with the cinnamon-date syrup combination, is good, although I don't think the vanilla is forward enough to be identifiable off the bat. But I really like dates. There is no wifi here, as per queries to the staff, which is unfortunate. read more

I couldn't believe this place. The staff were super friendly and truly second to none. All the patrons were happy and the atmosphere was by far better than any Starbucks or any other coffee shop I've visited. The staff made this place what it is and I truly enjoyed my coffee and bagel. I would recommend Philz Coffee to anyone and everyone. Great job folks whatever you're doing, keep it up. Thank you so much. read more

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! read more

Mmmmmm love the drinks at Philz, well most of them. I normally order "Philz Way" which is medium cream, medium sugar. You can also order "Jacob's Way" which is medium cream + medium honey. My go-to drinks are the ecstatic iced coffee, philtered soul, and iced mint mojito. I've tried a few from their "secret menu" like the Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Oatmeal Cookie, and Mocha Tesora but I personally wasn't a fan of those drinks. read more

The dood that Ariana Grande fell in love with and all the haters go like what the f*** lol. Oh, well such is life and all that matters is I hit it! :D I've been to Philz across Cali 'n this locale in Berkeley is pretty rad. A private parking up front fits my midnight black limousine, tinted windows for y'know! Typical Philz upon entering: You place your order, you pay (thanX, yo sexy sugar mama!), you wait for the Baristas to craft drinks. You find a spot to sit! Peasy! We settle into our chairs and take selfies! Yup, Ariana needs that affirmation on how cute she is, *sigh* high ponytail and all! I admit she hella cute, but the need to remind her every five minutes a tad much:3 All good as our talk is on our drank, right? So yea, Mint Mojita for me and Ariana goes with Sweet Harmony w Oat! Drinks are smooth and paired perfectly with the pastries we snuck in. I mean we need to keep our baddy reps up, right? We chat, we nibble, we slurp, we take even more selfies lol. Oh! Life of the "It Crowd!" I recommend this Philz for those into flavored brews. The ambiance is college energy and people have a good vibe. Great spot for remote work or study. Not the most tables, but it's roomy and airy! The only sucky thing is when Ariana kicked me to the curb and had the balls to write a song about me... yuh savage! "Oh, baby, look what you started..." Peace out, Pete! imu *cries* read more

I am so elated there is a Philz on this side of town in Berkeley. I get a little taste of heaven close to home, my favorite is the Mocha Teresa and seasonal is the Winter Bliss and Gratitude. Each cup ordered is made with one batch at a time, slow dripped just for your order. The wait time can fluctuate depending on the time you visit. If you have the time, wait and enjoy the cleanliness and operation of what is known as Philz. If you prefer arriving with your order ready to pickup and go, use their mobile app to order ahead. The app saves your favorite selections and preferences, it's as easy as tapping "Re-Order" and "Pay." The location is accessible from the Gilman exit or San Pablo and Gilman turn. There is street and lot parking available and the lot is pretty spacious. It is across from Whole Foods on the opposite side of the street. It can be fairly easy to miss as it is tucked off the street, the Philz sign is big and brilliantly lit so look for that just in case. The service is constant with friendliness, greetings and smiles when I arrive, the store is always well maintained and clean and the quality of my beverage, MOST IMPORTANT!, is always perfection! read more

Ridiculous wait time , they were also closed mid day yesterday on a wednesday. Coffee way too overpriced

All the hype? What the hell!?! Another coffee chain, big deal. Well... It really is good. Lots of bean types, and lots of specialty coffees. $20/lb beans for sale. $6 coffees. Really nice and helpful staff. I'm intrigued. More please. read more

The location is a very classic Philz atmosphere. Shout out to Faisal for making us some great drinks & friendliness!

Phil's, always comes with the good coffee. I always mean to try something new but it never fails that I walk out with a refreshing extra creamy light sweet mint mojito iced coffee. Always love how accommodating the baristas are, they have you taste test the drink and make any necessary adjustments so you walk away happy. Had a yum almond croissant to go this time as well. This location does have a parking lot but the spots are a little tight. You can always park on the street too! read more

If you're not on that Philz, then we might not be able to friends!! There are three specific locations I frequent in different cities but this one is my "on the way to work" or "on my way home" from work go it. It's easy mobile ordering and pick up and go. Attached Parking is limited but there is street parking that's not difficult to find. I've never had a drink I didn't like, but my recs are- iced Philtered Soul with light cream and sugar, or a iced Honey Haze (when avail) and Ecstatic. My hubby loves their cold brews- Philtered soul. It's very busy here but there's outdoor seating as a plus. Everyone is super friendly here. Can't wait until my next stop again! read more

I can't recommend this Philz enough. The baristas are all very friendly and always want to make sure your drinks are served the way you want. I've been to different locations around the Bay Area, and no one makes it like they do here. And nothing but good vibes. All the baristas are really good, so don't worry about who's making it.

Depending on the time and day it could get pretty busy here that I do recommend ordering online via the app. I do like that they have an app where you can order your drink because all you have to do is pick your drink, what time are you picking up, show up and just wait for the drink. Just like most coffee shops, their pricing is pretty standard compared to other places. The service here is also excellent where if you feel that something needs to be changed with your drink, just let them know and they will fix it for you. They do have their own parking lot that can hold around 10-15 cars and if the lot is full, there is street parking available. You really can't go wrong with the drinks here to be honest. They have a variety of options for those who are coffee drinkers and those who are not. They have iced coffees, dark/medium/light blends of coffee, tea, food such as bagels, and they have their own beans that you can buy and make coffee at home. A few of my favorite coffees that I recommend are : - Philtered soul : Hazelnut flavor, chocolate. You can't go wrong if it's hot or iced - Silken Splendor : Dark cocoa, citrus, and butterscotch. - Mint Mojito : An iced drink that has a fresh mint, sweet and creamy - Iced Coffee Rose : Sweet, creamy with a hint of rose taste - Gingersnap : An iced gingersnap coffee that has the sweet, creamy and spices taste Highly recommend trying out philz if you are near one! read more
