Amazing service! Amazing coffee! Amazing experience! This was my first time trying Philz after hearing everyone rave about how delicious the coffee was and definitely worth the hype! While walking in, I noticed the "New drinks" sign outside and decided to try the Salted Butterscotch. It was delicious! Just the right amount of salty and sweet but not too overwhelming. I usually am not a cold brew girl either, but the worker suggested this drink and I'm glad I tried it! Will be back soon! read more

As someone who fell in love with Philz Coffee back when I lived in San Francisco, finding one in Chicago was like a little taste of home! The moment I walked in, that familiar aroma and laid-back vibe hit me -- and I knew I was in the right place. Of course, I had to order my all-time favorite: the Mint Mojito Iced Coffee. Fresh, creamy, perfectly balanced, and topped with that signature sprig of mint -- it's the kind of drink that instantly lifts your mood and makes you smile. The Chicago location nails everything I love about Philz -- friendly baristas who make your drink exactly how you want it, cozy seating, and a calm energy that feels worlds away from the downtown rush. Whether you're catching up with friends, working on your laptop, or just treating yourself to a coffee experience (not just a caffeine fix), this is the spot. So happy to have my Bay Area favorite right here in the heart of Chicago! read more

I love Philz Coffee, especially because I'm a San Francisco native and have been a fan since day one. I was so excited that they had locations in Chicago and went to their downtown location near our hotel. However, the coffee was not as strong as usual, so not sure why. I enjoyed it nonetheless but I guess not every Philz makes their coffee the same? read more

Coffee was good but no lattes or espressos which are my favorite. We also ordered the blueberry lemon glazed scone and it was pretty good. The service was very good. The coffee shop looked clean and welcoming. read more

My go to for beans - Philtered Soul hits the spot consistently with it's punch of hazelnut flavor. The drinks are made to order and always a delightful and unique concoction. A must try is the mojito coffee. The seasonal drinks are always fun. Service is nice and generally pretty quick. The space is bare/to the point and has a few seating tables for small groups. There is one table that can hold a few folks - saw some people playing large uno. It doesn't get too loud here. read more

Great coffee and always has something that is different than the usual chains. The store is clean but very limited seating. Usually packed with people coming to/from Whole Foods or LifeTime. I tried the Gingersnap iced and you can taste the ginger, definitely recommend. read more

Nice staff but lacking in understanding their own technology. Clean facilities. Overpriced coffee.

Everyone is kind here and they always get my coffee right! 10/10 They have cool drinks and seasonal ones too. Even though they don't have espressos, their coffees still have enough caffeine for me. read more

Stopped by Philz for a quick break and tried the Honey Haze. Even after asking for it half-sweet, it was still way too sweet for my taste--overpowered the coffee entirely. The chocolate croissant, on the other hand, was a win. Flaky, warm, and satisfying--definitely the highlight of the visit. There are a few seats if you want to hang around, but it's more of a casual stop than a sit-down café. Good for a quick bite and go. Staff was kind and helped me with a technical issue with the payment. read more

This location is literally my go to location whenever I want coffee. The people here are super nice and quick at making drinks. I think there was one time I had an issue with the sugar/cream level and they immediately adjusted it on the spot for me. This is why I keep coming back to Philz Coffee. They will always tell you to try your drink before handing you the lid to close your drink in case you're unhappy with it and will adjust it until you're satisfied. My order is always a large mint Mojito iced coffee with regular cream and sugar. Every time I take a sip of the mint Mojito I just think of eating coffee ice cream with just the perfect amount of sugar. I recently got into their seasonal drink, which is the tiramisu latte. I cannot stop talking about their tiramisu latte to my friends and family so I took my cousin here last week. She ordered a hot tiramisu latte because it was cold outside, but I stuck with my original iced tiramisu latte. She took a sip in her eyes lit up. I was like isn't it insanely good? Basically, if no one has ever been to this coffee shop, then they need to because they are so freaking good. I also like that they have a seating area where you can do a little bit of work, but it can get pretty loud depending on the foot traffic. read more

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

My first Philz experience! I was surprised I had never heard about Philz when I realized this coffee shop has a significant following. All their coffee is brewed, no espresso. They have cold brew, iced coffee, and pour overs, plus a significant menu of specialty drinks with flavoring. At first, this kind of reminded me of Mary Lou's (for you New Englanders) but I actually loved my experience. Off the menu, I chose the mojito iced coffee. I love mint and coffee together so I really enjoyed this coffee. I got medium sweetness and medium creaminess. Unlike other places, they don't overdue the sweetness - medium was barely sweet, which is the way I like it. The coffee even had a generous heap of fresh mint leaves (which I guess for $7 makes sense). Everyone who worked here was really friendly and offered to make any adjustments as they handed you your coffee. I'm still an espresso / iced latte fan at heart, but I really enjoyed this elevated brewed coffee cafe. Will stop at Philz next time I have the chance! read more

Philz One Chicago was my first stop after a nearby appointment. I was in search of a caffeinated pick me up before going on with the rest of my day, and in the mood to branch out from my go-to Starbucks. The pastries and other food offerings in the case looked intriguing, although it seemed like Peet's or Starbucks have more options in terms of day-long offerings (sandwiches, salads) and grab-and-go items. For coffee, all of the creations are proprietary to Philz. There is really nothing like an Americano, latte, etc. on offer, rather the menu features the store's own creations. I went with a facsimile of a house blend, a medium-roast Tesora, with cream. The drink, a pour-over, was crafted with care and was smooth. Certainly not as speedy as a coffee with a splash of cream added, but good to change things up. As other reviewers pointed out, there is seating indoors and a few outside tables. On my visit, the space was calm and conducive to having a coffee meeting or doing some work. read more

My family and I came in for a little break, and we definitely were glad we did! I am not much of a coffee drinker, but the drinks here were extremely smooth and artisanally crafted. Our son also seemed to enjoy the blueberry lemon muffin. While not a lot of seating, there was just enough to allow us to be in a more secluded part of the store so my youngins didn't disturb other patrons. Everyone who worked here was extremely kind, and we would absolutely return for the coffee! Thank you One Chicago Philz! read more

I had no idea Philz was outside of California! We LOVED Philz in San Francisco. What a lovely surprise to find one near our hotel in Chicago! Our whole family loved it (we have two teenagers) and how easy it was to order. It's no-nonsense, delicious coffee made with flavor profiles that have been given careful attention. The staff was top notch, friendly and patient with my teens' questions. If you're looking for "commercial coffee" that tastes like commercial coffee, keep looking. This place feels like a neighborhood, small batch establishment. 100% recommend!!! read more

So this was my first visit a few weeks back and it will not be my last. I was seeking an Americano and the friendly barista suggested I should go for their signature drink, JACOB'S WONDERBAR. The taste is described as a layers of nuts and chocolate filled with a full-bodied flavor. This is an accurate description and filled my need for an Americano. I really appreciated the pour over option and the time it took to provide a quality drink. The interior was clean and nicely decorated with a clean, fresh look. This location is better suited if you take public trans or if you live in the area. Parking in this area can be a little tricky but if you have the time, you'll find a spot. read more

Philz is a favorite of mine and the hubby and I go to the San Diego stores at least twice a week, so it was an easy decision when it came to where we should grab a mid-day pick me up. This location on Chicago Ave was half a mile away from our hotel and an easy walk, so we stopped in and hung out before heading off to our next adventure. My go to in the afternoon is always tea, so I ordered a small hot Istanbul Treat Philz Way with medium cream and honey. Istanbul Treat is my favorite tea at Philz because of the licorice and mint notes. For coffee, I either get the Dancing Haze or Mocha Tesora. The hubby on the other hand orders the Philtered Soul Train in the morning and sticks to their House decaf with light cream, no sugar in the afternoons. It's a large comfortable space with huge windows to watch the city go by, so take a load off and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea. read more

Drop everything you're doing and head to Philz for their BREAKFAST SANDWICHES. It's so rare to find a coffee shop in America that uses REAL EGGS! It was extremely satisfying to dig into that breakfast burrito knowing that. Philz has its own unique twist on coffee. They do not have any espresso drinks, so if you're looking for a bland Starbucks latte, this isn't the place for you. However, if you're looking for unique and affordable cold brew or pour over coffees, the combinations at Philz are out of this world. They also allow you to choose your sweetness level, which is a godsend in this country! 1. Iced Coffee Rose - delicious! It's truly an experience; the first sip has you taste the rose and then the coffee flavor kicks in for one astounding mouthful. I highly recommend this drink while it's still on the menu! They also seem to have a few seasonal drinks like the Gingersnap - if you're feeling festive. 2. The Honey Haze is now my all time favorite drink. Who would have thought honey and coffee went together so well? & Philz just perfected it! This is by far one of the best coffee drinks I've had in a really long time. Service is excellent - can be slightly slow during a rush, but that is expected and the wait is worth it. The place is also decorated in a way that makes me either want to complete all my work and assignments in one sitting or relax and read a long long novel. There is no in between. They also have a few merchandise items for sale and coffee to brew at home. Highly recommend! read more

Came here for the first time and got their signature mint mojito coffee medium/medium. Probably could have gone for a medium as the ice takes up some space. Overall very smooth coffee and the mint was unique. For $5.50 for a small I probably wouldn't be a regular and would go more for a treat. read more

I have been to this location a few times and really enjoy the coffee and the atmosphere here. I think one thing that stands apart is just how warm and friendly everyone is all the time. Celia made my day today. Her hospitality was unexpected and very appreciated. I was so happy I got a little choked up to be honest. I have recommended this place before but I definitely will be more specific and recommend the state and Chicago Ave location hands down. Thank you for making my day brighter today and every day I have been coming there. This iced coffees I got today feels warm to the soul today for sure. read more

I've always wanted to try Philz & finally got the chance to this weekend. Pretty typical coffee prices for the city. Decent sized inside, a few tables before inside and out- nice ambiance clean. Tons of different flavor options which I loved. Another cool this is you get to customize a lot - iced/hot, your level of creaminess, & your level of preferred sweetness. I loved that part never seen it before. I went with Dancing Water & a seasonal Mojito one. Both were good but for some reason watery? I could taste the coffee but it was watery. Strange but pretty good! Quick service. I'd come back again if near one. read more

I've never been to a Philz establishment and was excited to try it today at the One Chicago location. Unfortunately, the man working was incredibly rude to me - I asked if he had almond syrup/flavoring and he said "this isn't a Starbucks, we don't have syrups." It would be great if the Philz team could train their customer-facing employees how to communicate information about the menu that doesn't involve condescension. read more

I regularly get my Philz from the Lincoln Park location and LOVE ordering from there. Always consistent, always tasty and well balanced. I was really excited to visit this location when visiting the area, but left very disappointed after my regular order tasted completely different at this location... No refreshing sweetness w the Mint Mojito, almost completely honey and no cold brew in the Honey Haze. I modified my coffees once I got home. Maybe it was because the store closed in 30 minutes? The cafe was still bustling with patrons, so I wonder what the issue was :/ read more

standard philz location, coffee is ok, customizable, favorite drinks are the mint mojito and mocha tesora. the standard philz can be heavy depending on the size so take that into account when customizing your order. service was quick, just not my favorite coffees read more

Don't understand all the positive reviews to be honest. Having had Philz from multiple locations in the Bay Area for years, this location has never lived up to that standard. Popular drinks such as the rosé, ecstatic, mocha tesora do not even come close to the taste and quality as they do in California. The service is also much poorer here. No friendly faces, conversations, etc. This experience is specific to this one barista who I have also seen at every visit. Let's just say this is how he greets us every time "hi .. -_-.." The last time I was here, I also noticed he first made drinks for people who ordered in the store after I submitted my online order and then showed attitude when I asked him if my drink was ready when I didn't get mine on time(because the app told me to check in). read more

Love that Philz is finally open in the Gold Coast area! Great coffee and cool vibes all around. Highly recommend ordering in advance on the app since it can be a bit hectic in the early morning, which can lead to a longer wait time - but if you plan ahead on the app, then you can pick up right when you arrive. I love how their drinks are unique and feature a creamy, thick taste (without being overly sweet). Their mission cold brew is the perfect start to the morning. Highly recommend! read more
