Came into Philz Coffee early this morning to grab 4 coffees to go. I had a few blocks to walk home, and by the time I almost made it back, I noticed one of the cups was leaking through the bottom and had gotten coffee all over my new pants and new shoes. Once I got inside, the other cups also started softening and dissolving from the heat. Not sure if this is a new cup supplier or a bad batch, but I wanted to mention it because it was a pretty frustrating experience -- especially carrying multiple hot drinks. Hopefully this gets looked into. Service was good outside of this. read more

Philz Coffee - Coffee on pants and shoes - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This location needs to do better. Online orders have taken a major step back. I order online and the wait is becoming worse every time. Worst part is when arrive the place is empty and still have to wait 10 extra minutes after the ETA. Also they act dumb when I place curbside orders. I tip generously and still have to call them so they can come outside to hand me my order. I am very patient but this has gotten out of hand. Going to take a break from this location for the rest of the year. We'll see where the service is at next year. For as long as it takes I'll spend same amount of time driving to Lincoln park or Chicago Ave location. read more

Philz Coffee - You guys know who I am. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Amazing coffee. The attached photo is my order, which I highly recommend. I find the menu difficult to navigate for first timers, but the staff are eager to answer questions. Each time you pick up your coffee, they will ask if it is to your preference and if they can make any changes, something I have not experienced at other coffee shops. Stop grabbing coffees at spots like Goddess or Foxtrot and come here!! You won't regret it. The only wish I have (not specific to this location) is that there was a member loyalty program similar to Starbucks. Perhaps it is in the works. read more

Philz Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I like Philz! Free wifi and great atmosphere for remote work, and good coffee with a variety of roasts. They have tasting notes on the menu, so it's easy to choose which bean matches your palate. I like that you can customize the sweetness and cream levels. I've had good service at this location. read more

Quaint coffee shop. Mainly pour over and cold brew with some mixings you can do to the coffee. Decaf coffee and tea options as well. Went with the Jacob's Wonderbar dark roast and enjoyed it very much. read more

Philz Coffee - Menu Coffee blends can be hot or iced. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My daughter raved about Philz. While we were waiting to see a show we dedicated that coffee would be a nice treat. Unlike the traditional chain coffee shops, Philz has their own blends as well as some unique specialty coffees. My wife had one of those but I don't recall the name. Whatever it was, they either used hemp milk or cashew milk. I'm typically not a fan of sweet creamed coffee. I have to admit this was good. My coffee was a grind with nothing in it other than their "Turkish Coffee" blend. I wanted something strong and this really did the trick. They also have a variety of baked items but neither of us were in the mood. Price wise, they are about the same as other boutique coffee shops. Great coffee at a decent price. Starbucks, watch out. Philz is an up and comer. read more

Philz Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I love taking walks around Old Town, especially on those random warm days (and even on slightly chilly mornings). I've wanted to try Philz for a while since my friend from California loves it. Recently, another friend also raved about the mint mojito drink, so I was sold. I walked in on Sunday morning around 9:30am and it wasn't too busy. The guys working there are all super nice and professional--some of the friendliest staff I've ever encountered at a coffee shop. I ordered a mint mojito drink the house way (no, it doesn't have alcohol), and one of the baristas asked me to try it before leaving. He offered to remake it if I didn't like it, which was very thoughtful and considerate! I ended up loving it. It was a refreshing mix of iced coffee, rich cream, muddled mint leaves, and a perfect amount of sweetness. Absolutely loved and will 100% return. RIP my wallet. Enjoy my money, Phil. read more

The mint mojito really lives up to the hype. It's delicate, and the fresh mint flavor is refreshing and complements the smooth coffee flavor well. It's creamy, but not too sweet. If there's anything you don't like about your drink, the baristas are more than happy to make adjustments for you. The service was excellent. read more

Philz Coffee - Mojito - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have always wanted to try Philz Coffee, so I'm happy I got the chance to try it in Chicago! I asked the baristas what they recommended and they recommended the Iced Mint Mojito. I personally love anything mint flavored and this was the perfect drink. The drink was not too minty and was even garnished with some mint leaves! I was in town for a few days so I asked the baristas (Noah and Rachel) what they recommended to do around the neighborhood. I had a great experience and will definitely be coming back. read more

Came here today to get a black coffee. This Philz location is very easy to find. Very spacious inside. I saw groups of ppl working on their laptop. They also plays soft music indoor. But the volume can be a bit lower. I got the staff recommended Philtered Seoul medium roast coffee. $5.6 for a medium size. It's pretty pricy for a black coffee. Took a sip after got my coffee. Hmm, it's very diluted. Smooth but watery. I guess it is the water ratio is wrong when they make this coffee. Very sour with hinted hazelnut. Not my coffee pick if you ask me. read more

Thankful Philz has opened in Old Town! The closest one used to be a trek to get to the Lincoln Park location. If you haven't tried Philz, do yourself a flavor and try one of their unique blends! We are very "grind your own beans, use filtered water/exact measurements/temperature, chemex or bust" folk, but are big fans of Philz coffee. Recommend you download their app to read flavor descriptions of their drinks - otherwise, it might be overwhelming seeing everything on a menu. Go tos: Tesora, Philtered Soul, Dancing Water read more

Philz Coffee - Large Philz coffee & a mini croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The iced mint mojito is SO GOOD. The mint flavor was not overwhelming or artificial at all - very refreshing and went well with the coffee. The drink was creamy and the perfect amount of sweetness. Service is great - the baristas offered to help make adjustments if there was anything I didn't like. The space is clean and there are tables both indoors + outdoors to work, study, or chat. Looking forward to trying some of the other drinks! read more

Dude..... I ordered a large cold brew coffee, no flavor, no milk. $8.45. This better be the bet f'n coffee that has ever graced the lips of a human being. It is good coffee, that's why you get two stars instead of one. Your cold brew coffee is $90.08 a gallon. Are you serious?? read more

Philz Coffee - $90.08 per gallon cold brew coffee. (I'm being serious.). $8.45 for 12 0z. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Best Coffee in Chicago Started out west in Berkeley, CA. Expensive but worth it if you truly appreciate great morning coffee, brewed by the cup. Philtered Soul for me. Tall hot and creamy. Better than s*x at 7AM on a cold Chicago January morning read more

Best coffee ever! Visiting from Fredericksburg VA enjoying time with daughter & we came here for coffee! Ether blend delicious! read more

Philz Coffee - Philz Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

NOOOOOOOOO. I used to go to Philz all the time when I lived in San Francisco for my cup of Mint Mojito, so I was super psyched when a Philz popped up in Old Town!! I dragged some of my peeps to Philz after talking their ear off about how great the Mint Mojito was--but the Mint Mojitos we received were just AWFUL. It was basically a glass of minty dairy with a hint of watered down coffee...! Major let down. And I looked like an idiot for saying "Trust me, it's gonna be amazing!" What happened, Philz?! The staff there were really friendly though. read more

I got a surprise bag of leftover food from Too Good to Go, which is an app that lets restaurants sell food at a discount that would have otherwise been thrown out. I appreciate that Philz Coffee is on the app and fighting food waste! My bag had a variety of pastries and a bag of everything bagels. The pastries were all pretty tasty and huge! I have also been to this Philz Coffee just to get coffee and work. I find their coffee format to be confusing with how you order and the focus on just coffee not espresso drinks. They have a few tables and some outlets. They also have a book exchange in the back to pick up something new to read! read more

Absolutely LOVE this place and it's my new coffee shop favorite!! Came here for a refreshing summer drink and got the iced mint mojito. Omg - it was AMAZING! I thought the drink was super unique and definitely completely worth the hype. Wasn't overly sweet or bitter and instead totally hit the spot. Everyone was super friendly and helpful, and even offered to switch up my drink if I didn't like it! I can't recommend Philz highly enough and cannot wait to go back :) read more

Staff is always so friendly! It's great that there's a standing zone outside of the shop, so you could just drive up to grab your order. The coffee is rich and flavorful, and there are different "notes". Favorites are Jacobs Wanderbar, philharmonic, ginger snap and mocha tsora. read more

This place has a very homely feel- I can just relax, read and enjoy my coffee and bagel. The downside is that they only have one little corner nook with comfy chairs- if it's taken, then a standard table will have to do. read more

Super friendly staff and every cup is crafted when you order for maximum deliciousness. Favorite part of my Saturday Lincoln Park farmer's market tradition. Philz coffee and then walk on over to the market. Pure bliss. read more

I've never been to philz before so the several options given were initially overwhelming, but i can verify it was a great experience!! Sarah/Sara was so animated when guiding me through the options in such a helpful way, so shoutout to her! Also, if you enjoy fall drinks I recommend the "Gingersnap Iced Coffee, Iced, House Way, Creamy Oat Milk" which is what i got! :) read more

Took forever to get my coffee. There were 4 employees, one on their phone, the rest just standing there talking. Got the coffee and it tastes watered down. Didn't have time to wait for another. Place was big and spacious though. read more

It was so refreshing to find a coffee shop that is different from the same old Starbucks and all their imitators. As soon as you walk in the door you can tell that Philz is different and in a good way. Their unique selection of coffees and teas is a refreshing change to the norm. We tried a few of these drinks but the one that truly stood out was the Iced Mint Mojito! Wow they even take the time to muddle the fresh mint! We were helped by one of the most professional muddlers I have ever met Chelsea who made our coffees and they blew our mind. Fresh and delicious, so much better than simply settling for an ordinary cup of Joe! Love Philz and will be a frequent customer! read more

Philz is one of my favorite coffee spots in Chicago! They have a few tables so it is not a bad place to study. I recommend the mojito, rose, or gingersnap drinks. I love that the bold coffee taste comes through, and any additional flavoring is not overpowering, and it tastes natural too! Definitely would recommend if you want a tasty cup of coffee. read more

I made an online order and it was ready & hot for pick up. The employees were kind upon arrival and as they bid me farewell. It's great having a friendly place nearby. read more

Bright colors all around. The feel is different the ones in California . The menu does not explain the flavors profiles of each. The ordering is different too. One orders at the cashier first. There is a single cashier. Since orders take long there is a long line to order. The coffee was great. read more

Coffee & service are great but DO NOT GET ANY FOOD HERE! The pork sausage & potato burrito was pretty gross. Not sure how they cook it but the texture was like purée but meal-y. The egg had...grains?! Mixed with the cheese and potato it had a consistency that most resembled vomit. I showed them the "burrito" and asked if it was supposed to look like that. In a chipper tone, the girl said "yeah-that's egg". Which I guess was sweet, the WAY she said it. But I was saying I was dissatisfied and it felt like a kindergarten teacher telling me to go back to me seat. Stay for the coffee. Miss the food. You're welcome! read more

My first time going to a Philz Coffee and how convenient that it's right next to the OrangeTheory I go to in the mornings! Since I had never been, I just asked for what would be close to an iced vanilla coffee. The man at the register was super helpful and explained a few to me and recommended the Tesora iced coffee with cream and sugar. Fast forward a minute later and I trust this guy with my life - it was so good. My bank account is about to be in trouble with this new discovery. read more

I drove an hour to get some coffee because Philz used to be my favorite and it was just so bad! I asked nicely for them to remake it and they were not happy! I got my iced coffee hot and when I told the man who made it that our iced coffee was hot he told me to have a nice day and walked away! Seriously so rude I will never go back! read more

It's easy to find, spacious and a good place to study or work. Although, what's it with US cafes and their denial of real cups. If I sit in a cafe I don't want to get my beverages in a paper cup. Also, it's quite pricy considering they only serve pour over coffee and no cappuccino and the like. read more

I'm all about the mint mojito. Creamy, cool, and just as sweet as you want it to be. (I ask for it a little less sweet than the "house" version.) read more

I've seen what seems like a lot of influencers who love this place and really wanted to try it. The baristas were all super nice and the shop was cute! We sat in comfy chairs by a bookshelf that you could take or leave books for free! :) I got the Philtered Soul which I thought was okay but to be fair I'm more of a latte person than coffee. My boyfriend got Jacobs Wonderbar and he also thought it was okay. We also got a double chocolate chip cookie that was pretty good! read more

Popular location and very busy on a Saturday. Staff was very friendly and kept the line fast moving. Our cashier was super knowledgeable on all the vegan offerings and a great help! read more

Best coffee hands down . I never thought of mint snd coffee but it hit the spot. Which there was one closer to home

Staff was friendly and business clean. Large menu ..we ordered a tea and coffee and enjoyed both. People were spaced out decently...it's a small seating area. read more

I walked into the Old Town location, was warmly greeted and then promptly ignored. The person preparing the coffee finished the order they were working on, then tidied up and performed other downtime tasks, steadfastly avoiding eye contact. When the person working the register appeared, they likewise ignored me. For kicks, I stood there for 5 additional minutes before leaving. Full disclosure, I was in a sh*tty mood. The layout of the store is baffling with the menu posted on the wall most distant to the registers where it turns out the orders are taken. I wasn't real keen on waiting while they engaged in whatever hipster fad brewing method they have going on there. Ultimately, with the $5+ price tag, it wouldn't have taken 10% of this foolishness to make me abort the mission. read more

I was so excited to see Philz here! I am from the Bay Area and had to make the Uber trip to Old Town to have some coffee. My favorites are the Mint Mojito and Dancing Water, but you can't go wrong. Plus Old Town turned out to be super cute to walk around. read more

I am addicted to Philz and am so excited they are opening more shops in Chicago. My favorites are Mocha Tesora, Mission Cold Brew and Dancing Water. Every order is made just for you and it shows in the quality. read more
