If you're looking for a delicious cold brew, Philz is the way to go. I wake up every morning craving a Philtered Soul Cold Brew with Creamy Almond Milk and Sweet Sugar. More often than not, it's how I start my day. I love Philz and definitely recommend trying it. TIP: if you're ordering between 8-9:30am, order ahead on the app! It's extremely user friendly and always very timely. read more

Philz Coffee - Fun space at the Lincoln park location! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I had heard about this coffee from several people but they don't serve espresso drinks, which is usually a hard pass for this latte girl. My husband had a coffee with heavy cream and it smelled so good. I chose an iced Tiramisu coffee and it did not disappoint. The service was great. The ones who waited on us were friendly and seemed to be having fun doing what they were doing. The entire vibe was like sunshine. Places to sit indoor and outdoors, great service and great coffee. A perfect way to start the morning. read more

Came in because the logo was giving nostalgic (mid 2000's global coffee house vibes). Inside was much more modern and updated. Lots of places to sit, lots of outlets avaliable if you're coming to work. They definitely specialize in sweet flavors for coffee. I was boring and got plain ice coffee and it was just OK, would definitely try something more interesting next time. I thought it was really cute how each barista has their own labeled area to work in with fun facts about themselves. read more

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

I had first stopped into a Philz a couple of years ago and tried their Iced Coffee Rose which I enjoyed. I ordered it again and found it to be mediocre; not as flavorful and tasted more like a milkshake than coffee. I also ordered the bacon and egg cheese bites as well as the blueberry lemon glazed scone. The bacon and egg cheese bites are comparable to Starbucks or Dunkin, so flavor was fine but not great. The blueberry lemon scone was disappointing; I took only a couple of bites - it was dry and only mildly flavored. I think there are better options for your coffee and breakfast snack in Lincoln Park. read more

Some of the best and most consistent coffee. Stopped in when waiting for pop-up bagel next door and tried their Salted Butterscotch Cold Brew, delicious. People are friendly, store is clean, coffee is good. What more do you need? read more

Really good cold brew (this was my first time ever trying Philz even though I know they're a chain). Loved the honey haze with oat milk! I need to come back to try their lattes. You'll see a lot of people these days in Philz getting coffee from there but eating their Pop Up bagels from next door... not gonna lie, that's exactly what I did too. It's a good idea for a quick delicious breakfast. read more

A classic chain coffee place. Better than Starbucks or dunkin in vibes, good fun coffee flavors. I got seasonal smores, was pretty delish but did taste a little burnt? Don't know if that was intentional with the marshmallow flavor but I don't think I hated it... BEWARE it will be a battle to get a table here because of all the pop up bagel customers coming inside to eat their overpriced bagels. This isn't a review for that bc u wouldn't catch me dead waiting in that line. But yall have fun. read more

This place is price moderately, no complaints there. Got a Chai and 3 coffees. All of the coffees and chais were watered down with no flavor. Hopefully it was just a bad day, but was super disappointed. read more

Randomly stopped in to do some work and a nice chill cafe. I've never been to Philz but always wanted to check it out. Walking in it was super clean and everything was in place. They played the best music so I was totally vibing! Staff were so sweet and pleasant which added to the ambiance of this location. I'm not big on coffee anymore but they had really great selections to choose from. I opted to try the iced mint mojito coffee. Definitely sounds pretty unique and I wanted something refreshing so I decided to give it a try. Well people....i now have a new favorite coffee! It was soooo delicious!! They actually muddle the mint leaves at the bottom of the coffee. How cool is that! I also has a blueberry muffin and it was so fresh and getting it warmed made it taste even better. I will definitely be back read more

I got the classic black coffee. The waiting line is super long that I waited over 10 mins. On top of that, I waited over 15 mins to get a simple black coffee. I have to ask the staff two times to check my order status. I understand they are busy but why it takes that long for a simple black coffee?? With the time spent on this, I rather go get it from somewhere else. read more

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

Ambiance - friendly and roomy. Lots of space to work and wasn't super busy. Service - friendly and the person helped me choose what to get as it was my first time. Drink - was pretty good but kind of expensive. Slightly expected. Would go again but wouldn't be my first choice. read more

If you love coffee, definitely check out Philz. As others have mentioned, they do have a more limited menu. However, quality definitely beats quantity. I tried the Tesoro, which is a medium blend with a nice caramel undertone. My friends ordered the iced Rosé coffee, and it sounds (and looks!) good. There is also a limited food menu, but the breakfast burritos are yummy and filling! I definitely can't wait to go back and try other blends. In addition to great coffee, Philz is doing their part to help the environment by using compostable lids and paper cups. Get your coffee fix and feel good about doing your part as well! read more

Amazing coffee, great service, great ambiance. Will be going again. One of the best in the area.

Mocca - terrible. It didn't taste like a Mocca. Cocoa - terrible. But at least it had a taste of cocoa. They even don't have sugar on the table that you can use. You have to tell them to do it for you if you need more sweet coffee read more

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

Highly disgusted. My friend and I decided to try out there coffee for the first Time. To see what was the hype about yesterday morning. I've drunk it. An it was okay But I never thought to check the inside or swerl a spoon around it just to mixed the flavor like I normally would do. I drunk the coffee Half way thru I went to pour out the remaining of the coffee that was left I see this nasty piece of which looks like a sponge I called addressed the problem. And they offered a refund but it's not about that to me. It could have been anything on that sponge This is disgusting and unacceptable it PLEASE CHECK YOUR COFFEE!!!!! read more

Philz Coffee - Rose Ecstatic Iced Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

You literally can NEVER go wrong with going to Philz. The service is pretty much always friendly, and the drink options they have are pretty unique and inclusive of most taste buds. If you knew the real story behind Philz and how they came to be, you'd be really appreciative of them expanding to Chicago recently. I'm from California so I've been used to Philz for quite a while now, but having Philz out here makes me happy. I recently ordered their Iced Mint Mojito and was very impressed with the taste. I'd 100% order this again. I know I'm asking for too much, but I would LOVE if y'all opened a Philz Coffee in the Lakeview/Wrigleyville area. I think it would do very well, and I'd be a frequent customer... just sayin'! read more

LOVE!!! 10/10 recommend this was so good and I will be back. A bit expensive but whatever read more

I won't repeat whatever I wrote in my (also 5 star) review at the Wicker Park location. Just want to say: Their new drink iced coffee Rose was delicious and I love how they don't skimp you on liquid. They really fill it to the top and like an idiot, even though I was warned, spilled a little as I slid it over to myself. The staff member was incredibly nice about it and just fun to talk to! read more

**This review is for the Thursday soft opening** I work in the area and decided to stop by to check out Philz for the soft opening. A roommate of mine gifted me some beans from Philz last year and I loved them but until today I had never been inside one of their locations. I didn't know what to expect but I was thoroughly impressed. Philz is a different kind of coffee shop experience. It's a coffee-forward, barista-forward place. Rather than serving espresso drinks, Philz has a variety of different coffee blends with recommended ways to drink (medium cream, add honey, etc.). You walk up to the barista counter to place your order instead of at the cash register. I have to say that I loved this aspect! The baristas here are incredibly warm and inviting. They are happy to discuss your tastes and preferences, giving recommendations for blends and styles. Not only is this super helpful but it encouraged warm interaction. I felt welcomed rather than like a coffee-illiterate nuisance (which other coffee shops have made me feel like!). After you speak with a barista to place your order, head over to the register to pay. It was packed, which is to be expected for a soft opening. The surprise, however, was how quick and friendly the service was before they're even open. I was expecting a long wait but I was up to the barista counter very quickly. I'm so thrilled this Philz is in the neighborhood and I'm excited to stop by again. read more

Philz Coffee - Soft opening in Lincoln Park. Incredibly friendly staff, great coffee and pleasant atmosphere. Happy to have Philz right near my workplace! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

So happy that Philz Coffee made a move in the Midwest! I've craved the mint mojito iced coffee some the last time I was visiting California. The baristas were very kind and friendly. The cafe itself is located in a very walkable area, with that said there isn't much street parking so we did a quick run in and just put our hazards on in the little cul de sac. The cafe was much larger than I expected and very welcoming and inviting. I'm definitely come back to visit when I'm in the area again. read more

Literally my favorite coffee shop now. Not only is their space super nice with plenty of seating for doing work, but the coffee is absolutely delicious. I've gotten the mojito and rosé and both are so good. My favorite is the rosé so far. Definitely get both the house way- sweet and creamy is the way to go. I've also tried the Philz bagel which was pretty good. Cream cheese, cucumbers and tomatoes- a very filling breakfast. It comes on an everything bagel but you can substitute with another bagel type if you wish. They were also giving out samples of their avocado toast which has slices of hard boiled egg on it- also delicious. Ordering is a bit different- you order at the counter first where the baristas will make your drink. Then you go to the register to pay. Ive been here 2 times already and staff is always super friendly even at 7am on a Saturday. It definitely gets super crowded and loud during peak hours which just speaks to how popular this place is. Be prepared to wait in a long line if you come during the rush! read more

Came to Chicago with my friends from high school and one of them highly recommended the mint mojito coffee. Coffee definitely did not disappoint, and would highly recommend visiting the coffee store chain wherever it is available! Refreshing and chilled is the best way to get the mojito read more

Always a good experience at this location. I sometimes order in the app when I'm in a time crunch and need to grab and go; and I sometimes do work here when in between things. They have taken COVID precautions seriously, as well, which I appreciate. Dancing waters is my favorite coffee - hot or iced. They have great coffee in general, though. The breakfast items are also tasty. Customer service always friendly here. They do make each coffee to order, so if you're in a rush, I would order through the app. Otherwise, be sure to build in a few minutes to your wait time, as it can get busy at peak times and it's not just filling up a cup like most places. read more

The BEST Philz Coffee I had so far! I am from NYC so I am going to miss coming here. The interior design is so pretty. There is a wall mural near the back that is so beautiful. It can get really crowded during the day so it is a bit hard to find seats. I ordered the Iced Coffee Rosé and Chocolate Croissant and it was soooo delicious. We actually got the same items at another Philz Coffee location and it wasn't as good as this one! I definitely recommend making a stop here for breakfast if you are in the area. Nice neighborhood too. Lots of colleges nearby. read more

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

Due to COVID, you currently can't dine in. I usually place my order through the app 5-10 minutes before heading over. If we're driving, we'll pull into the little driveway next door and do a quick pick up. Once I arrive the drink is usually ready on time sitting on the table. You simply walk in and grab the one with your name. I love Philz! I'm not a big black coffee drinker, so my go to items are the Mocha (hot or iced) and the Mint Mojito (iced). Their drinks are always consistent and delicious. The experience and taste is high quality in my opinion. If I went more frequently I'd probably stick with a simple Tesora, but since I go about once a month or less I like to treat myself and get the speciality drinks -- creamy cream and medium sweet! To save money, if my husband and I are in a similar mood, we'll pick a drink we both like and share a large instead of getting 1 small & 1 medium; that makes it about half the cost! read more

I love this place. The staff is so friendly and the coffee is good. Great place to work remotely but beware it's super cold inside!! I've never tried the food but looks okay! read more

I was trying to enjoy a cup of coffee, but unfortunately several people were talking very loudly, saying anti-Israel things. This coffee shop obviously supports this, otherwise the talkers would have been asked to shut their mouths up or leave. I took my coffee to go and threw it away. You have a right to support anti-Israel rhetoric, and I hope you will be ostracized by anyone pro-Israel. Will Yelp take my review down? Probably, which will show where they stand when it comes to anti-Israel rhetoric and views. read more

I love how smooth the coffee is :) the iced mint mojito coffee was great! I got it less sweet but honestly I think it wouldn't be overly sweet without any adjustments. The wifi is good so you can definitely get work done, and there are a lot of seats. At the time I was there, it was a bit too cold (it's also hot outside so makes sense) but definitely a great place to get work done :) there is actually quite a bit of free 2-hour parking in the area too. Highly recommended! read more

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

Taking my first sip of Philz has made it such that every time I brew my early morning weekday coffee, a part of me feels sad inside that I'm not actually in the comfort of Philz sippin' on a delicate Iced Coffee Rosé. I TOTALLY get what the rave is all about, and you will too!!! Philz is a family-run business that prides itself in offering smooth, complex blends of coffee (in fact, I brought home a bag of Tesora beans) and artfully crafted coffee drinks. I noticed that each of the drinks made at the coffee bar were made with individual pour overs. You know that everything you drink here is not only delicious, in the most simplest way of thinking about it, but also certifiably fresh and carefully prepared! read more

I go to coffee shops to study and typically like a warm atmosphere and this was pretty opposite of that. Besides that, it had fast wifi and wasn't too difficult to find a table when I went on a Sunday around noon. It's a good place for experienced coffee consumers but if you're just starting to acquire the taste, it might not be the best place for you. read more

Very modern coffee shop with a good amount of coffee blend. I just ask for hot coffee because I needed a pick me up in the area. I'm not sure which blend you get for just asking for coffee. But it was rich and balance considering I ask for cream and sugar. It was better than what you expect from a dunking donuts or starbucks. read more

During the pandemic, our coffee runs have gotten fewer and have become more special. We recently got some coffee to-go from Philz and (no surprise) had a great experience! My husband ordered online on the app, 10 minutes later he picked up the coffee. He waited outside on the sidewalk until they called his name and then he grabbed it from the door. It was delicious, thankful for Philz staff for making a delicious coffee even through adversity! read more

Be warned, no lattes! Although no lattes, the staff was very helpful in finding me a drink I would enjoy similar to a latte. A friend and I popped into Philz after a long day of walking hoping for a caramel latte, we were pretty disappointed to find out Philz does not have lattes. The coffee itself tasted just okay nothing special. read more

Philz is always a yes. Esp when it's as cute as this new location!! Very bright & airy inside with cute colorful wall art and decor. Great place to study, catch up on work, or meet up with friends. My go-tos are the Mint Mojito or Rose Latte. If you're feeling something subtly floral to spice up your regular coffee routine, try the Rose. For something creamy & refreshing, try Mint Mojito. Be aware - their coffee IS strong! I'm always energized for the rest of day. read more

My heart! I was so overjoyed to learn that a Philz coffee had opened in chicago (Wicker park). Imagine my enthusiasm to know that there was a Philz in my neighborhood!! Mint mojito house style 100% every time. Order on mobile in advance. Prices are high but worth it for a treat. I just tried my fiancé's gingersnap last time and it was not bad too. read more

Yahoo! Another Philz location in Chicago! I'm so happy Philz has been brought in my home town city of Chicago. I wanted to go check this location out because it's right by school. The cafe itself is sooo calming (blue walls) and very clean. The staff is super friendly and cool. I enjoy having to walk up to the counter and ordering the coffee first. The baristas are very helpful and knowledgeable with Philz' coffee. If you have any questions or recs they got you covered. The coffee I tried today was the Gingersnap and it tasted exactly like gingersnap! My favorite is still the mint mojito coffee though. As for the food, I ordered the Philz Bagel and it was delicious! It was an everything bagel with plain cream cheese. The bagel also had tomatoes and cucumbers which was pleasantly refreshing. I'd definitely come back and order it again! read more

I liked design of the place, but was a bit confused with the flow of operations. You stand in line to order with barista (which is awesome and eliminates errors) then go and pay for your drink, but then you come back to the same area where you paid or ordered from creating more of a mess while waiting for a drink than a flow? Price is also astronomical for a cup of coffee.. not sure about this place.. BUT! I did like team pictures in frames. Makes it feel like you are visiting someone's home read more
