    As a SF native such a great surprise to see this place in chicago. The service here is as good as i expect and doesn't miss a beat. got my usual dancing water and it hit like it always does. so great to get my morning coffee here outside of SF

    This place is hard to come by so if you are in Chicago you have to try it! Their main coffee stores are in Cali so we were excited when we saw that there was a Philz! There are a lot of space where you can study or plug in your phone to charge. The service is good and the baristas are knowledgeable. I personally got the mint coffee where they crush up the mint at the bottom. I personally like Cold coffees so I got it iced. It is pretty sweet and enjoyed it!

    I got the iced coffee rose and it was really good. It's creamy and not too sweet and you can still taste the hints of rose that surprisingly complimented the coffee very well. They usually have decent sitting options and many other options, including some great warm drinks. A great spot to work, study or hang out with friends!

    Coffee franchise based out of SF. Very unique flavors and the coffee was nice and rich. Service was a bit slow but we did go at a busier time.

    Came in about 15 minutes after opening and besides the baristas it was just me (which is a plus hehe). After exchanging good mornings, I ordered a small silken splendor straight up since that's what I usually drink in the mornings at home. It was pretty fun to see the barista pour the freshly brewed coffee back and forth the two pitchers. I usually don't see that being done for hot drinks which was cool to see. I was looking for a place to sit and read when I noticed all of the artwork and personal touches around the store. It is so nice to get lost in looking at everything personally. In light of that, I did want to mention that I frequent the Lincoln Park, Hyde Park, and Evanston locations, but after visiting today, the Wicker Park Philz location is by far my favorite. Whoever was on aux too! I liked your playlist, it had lots of jams.

    My go-to coffee shop whenever I come back to visit Chicago! I absolutely LOVE this place. The interior is so spacious and bright, you could definitely find yourself doing work here (I have!). All the baristas are extremely nice and helpful. Their menu consists of a wide array of different coffee beans, each with their own unique flavor! You'll find a short description of each of them on their menu so you'll know exactly what you're getting. The best thing of all? They don't charge extra for different creamers! They don't believe you should have to pay for dietary restrictions (I'm lactose-intolerant). My favorite drink is the Mint Mojito but honestly, everything on the menu is really good. Each coffee's specific flavor notes really shine through. Come drop by for a great cup of coffee!

    Mediocre coffee with rude staff. Have tried 4 drinks from them, which were all tasteless. Additionally, the staff lied about giving me oat milk in my coffee. First coffee I received tasted like regular milk, though they claimed it was oat milk. However, when they remade it, it tasted completely different. Only upside is the place itself is cute.

    GUYS. Chicago has Philz, and I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED! Way back in the day when I was a travel nurse (and started Yelping because I had no idea where I was all the time), I went to Philz in SF religiously. I dreamt of their mint mojito coffees for years and just drank my own home brews in my Philz mug and remembered better days. I recently moved to Chicago, and PHILZ IS HERE! I had to some, and I am so happy to say that the coffee is just as good as I remember it. What a treat! I'll gladly be back!

    I would never think I would be giving such a review for a coffee! I'm not one to drink coffee so I did not expect to like the flavors as much as I did. This was the second time I came and both times the cashier was so kind. Coffee: I usually don't like coffee because it's too bitter, but I don't know why I couldn't stop drinking this! The minty flavor was also another surprise for me as I usually don't like mint. For a price of ~$5 for a small I could see myself getting this every once in a while. 8.1/10

    I just happened to be in the area conducting an errand and saw this cute, colorful cafe, so I decided to stop in. I am in the area occasionally, mostly visiting either the Starbucks or FedEx Office across the street. With Philz Coffee being located in a busy area within Wicker Park, I embraced the fact that it would be congested inside. If you have time to pre-order just to pick-up and go, I recommend doing so because this area can be horrendous when it comes to parking, FYI! Out of their featured drinks, I took an interest in the Jacob's Wonderbar which is noted for being chocolatey with subtle hints of fruit! A kudos to the employee who gave me a sample of it after it caught my interest. I enjoyed the Jacob's Wonderbar as well as the overall vibe of Philz Coffee inside. Now that I have visited, I would surely return since I am an avid visitor in the area. ~Blessings~ Thomas G

    What a place. This is so much more than just a coffee house. Tons of options, great ambience, and…read moregenuinely kind people. We started with a mocha, a solid, well-balanced drink that wasn't overly sweet and was just perfect. We didn't plan on eating here, but the menu was way too tempting. We ordered the cinnamon roll, and wow. This was insanely good. Most cinnamon rolls in the U.S. feel like sugar-heavy, cinnamon-flavored buns, but this one was light, flavorful, and beautifully made. The irimshik on top really elevated it, subtle, warm, and just sweet enough. Easy 10/10. Next was the cottage cheese pancake, which was also very good. It had a generous amount of cottage cheese stuffed inside, and paired with the sweet irimshik dip, the dish came together really well. 9/10. We then tried the qattama. It was good. flaky, crispy, and reminded me of a paratha. It came with a sour irimshik dip. While each component was good, I felt the qattama would shine more with a gravy-based dish. 7/10. Finally, we ordered the Nan Salma pasta. It's a tarry-based white sauce pasta with a unique flavor profile, and it was genuinely yum. Definitely something different and worth trying. Highly recommend it. 8/10. You have space to sit down and work as well. Service was good too. Some of the dishes might take 7-10mins to get prepared. It's not like your daily coffee shop who have stuff ready to go Overall, a great spot with unique food and a welcoming vibe. Definitely coming back. 9/10

The kind of place where you slow down without trying. The staff was genuinely nice too. Asked how my day was and even recommended couple of pastries. I ordered a hot chocolate with an almond blueberry financier. The hot chocolate was honestly perfect. Rich but not heavy. You get that dark chocolate hit first, then it smooths out. Creamy. Warm in the right way. The financier was great. Nutty from the almonds, little bursts of blueberry, soft but not mushy. I dipped it into the hot chocolate (had to), and yeah... even better. No regrets there. It's a small place, but if you get there early, you might grab a seat with a really nice city view. Worth it. I'll definitely be back. Especially now that I know there's a solid hot chocolate spot right nearby.
