Philz Mint Mojito Iced Coffee is a unique and delicious way to get a coffee hit, but a 22 min wait from placing my order to receiving my coffee is a LONG time. I get that you're busy because you do great coffee, but please staff your bar appropriately during peak hours to make sure wait times are not excessive. read more

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

My favorite drink in the entire world resides at Phil's coffee! When I learned there was a location in the city I was doing my rotation, I was beyond ecstatic! I drove out to this location, which is located in a very nice shopping strip. The staff inside is very sweet and was taking every possible precaution to follow CDC covid guidelines. They had the cutest sign inside with "Cup of Love" written, and it was the most accurate description of my drink of choice- the Mint Mojito! It was perfectly delicious and creamy, just as I love it! read more

Philz is my favorite coffee shop in Chicago. Their coffee is unique, and all the flavors come out really well. I've had the iced mint mojito and thought the mint taste went really well with the coffee taste. I've also had an iced gingersnap and was pleasantly delighted by how closely it tasted to like a gingersnap cookie. And my favorite is the iced coffee rose. It has the perfect coffee to rose ratio and tastes so smooth! Amazing coffee, unique creations, and consistently delivers. I'm so glad a Philz opened up in Chicago! read more

stopped by here to try them out since i heard lots of good things, and they did not disappoint. ill start with service: staff here is super friendly! i wasnt sure what to order as it was my first time and when the lady taking my order heard that, she walked me through and explained all the options and recommended me a drink as well. i got something something oatmilk cookie- i cant quite remember the name but it was their special and was really good. the place has a nice interior and a good vibe going on and there were enough seats even with the amount of people in there. just overall a good place to have a quick zoom meeting, bring your friends to, or even stop by yourself for a quick coffee run. read more

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

This location is awesome. I came in to order and Ava (I believe) gave me a helpful rundown of the menu and great drink recommendation. I ordered a sandwich and drink. Somehow walked out without grabbing my sandwich so I called the store a couple hours later and Ava picked up. Said she'd make me a new one without a problem. I came back in and she had it waiting for me! A little goes a long way and I really appreciated that gesture!! Thanks Ava!! read more

Love this new Philz location right in the heart of Lincoln Park! Was in the neighborhood the other day and decided to settle in here to get some work done. Although crowded, I was lucky enough to walk right in grab a great spot! After setting my things down I headed to the counter to begin the difficult decision of what to take! Philz menu is extensive, and at first glance, can be a bit overwhelming! So many options and descriptions. Lucky enough they have nice and knowledgeable baristas to help! I'm a creature of habit and usually just get one of their medium roast Americanos, but other notable classics are the mint mojito, which is amazing, as well as the rose latte, which is also smooth and delicious! If it's your first time trying Philz, I would definitely recommend giving either of those a try! And if you're really struggling, just consult the baristas, they will steer you in the right direction! The vibe here is bright, open, and lively! For me, I really enjoyed it and found it easy to get work done here. For some, I could see how it could be a bit distracting because it's busy and loud, but overall, I think it made an excellent spot to work! Being right near DePaul I bet this place is wild at peak times, so if you're heading here to catch up with a friend or work, I'd recommend going on an off time. I'm looking forward to my next visit to this Philz location! read more

I love all the coffee options- though overwhelming, I'm glad the workers are super friendly and willing to help you decide what you want. I went with a lighter roast- the ambrosia- and enjoyed every sip. Quite expensive for $4 per small cup of brew, but other than that there are great options for everyone to enjoy! read more

First time trying Philz coffee and I can definitely see what all the hype was about. Menu is more limited than your typical Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts BUT Philz has more unique coffee options. I tried an iced MOCHA TESORA which is described as "a velvety coffee-based treat with lightly sweetened cocoa". Honestly, it was very very similar to hot coco with a small added bitterness coming from the coffee. But overall the drink was on the sweeter side. So, if you prefer stronger coffee drinks I would recommend asking if the drink can be prepared less sweet. The inside of Philz is SO cute and cozy. I'm looking forward to returning once indoor dining is open again. I can imagine this place being a GREAT study spot. read more

Great coffee! What a treat! Baked goods looked excellent but I resisted! Service was great and I'll be back!

I'm giving this an average review for its potential but I really didn't love the coffee I got. I want to love Philz because I know people love it & the menu makes me see that there's a lot of thought put into the quality of coffee & fun bevs but I've been twice now and haven't been wowed by my order. I've tried an iced almond milk latte from a location in sf & tried a dirty chai latte from this one & had a sip of an iced drink my friend got. The dirty chai latte tasted like just watered down chai & they asked me if I wanted any milk when I ordered but isn't that what latte means?? I couldn't taste the espresso at all & I maybe drank like 1/6 of it. The environment is cute & it's be a great work spot so I think I'll give it one more shot before determining a final rating. read more

Great service and great coffee! I usually get the iced mint mojito after visiting Velvet Taco next door! Love Philz and make it a point to come here when I am in the area! read more

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

As a vegan, I wish I could leave a five-star review for their plant-powered breakfast sandwich. Unfortunately, the sandwiches are way over-cooked to the point that biting into the crust is like biting into a brick. Other than the bread, it tastes fantastic, and I would recommend it if they made this small change. read more

Hallelujah! Philz is here! Admittedly, I totally missed the opening of the other locations but I went for the soft opening on Thursday and was blown away by so many things: * Gorgeous design and layout - so clean and inviting. Plenty of space to work and some seating outside (it was hella windy the day we went). Really love the color scheme - a smoky blue and cream- sets the tone for a relaxing experience. Gender neutral bathrooms and the hand washing area is communal. * Super friendly baristas- This is unsurprising as all the Philz locations that I've gone to in the Bay area has engaging baristas that genuinely seem happy to make you one helluva delicious coffee. You can speak with them while they make your coffee and they're willing to make any adjustments after they hand it over to you * Food - they were handing out samples of the almond butter & strawberry jam on sourdough (seriously - what kind of jam was this because it had big chunks of strawberry and was so yummy - if you sell it, I want to know) , avocado toast - some plain and others with thin slices of hard boiled eggs and the lightest sprinkling of sea salt and pepper - omg, delish * Staff - super nice! (and cute) My friend brought her 7 month old puppy with us, and honestly, it was all sorts of a crazy morning with her knocking over the outside table trying to get a taste of the avocado toast, which sent my mint mojito flying onto the sidewalk (crying about it), using I don't know how many napkins to clean up the mess (very sorry about that). Patrons and staff were friendly and came by to pet her (she absolutely loved it) - and one staff worked his magic and totally calmed her down by whistling - not just an ordinary whistle - hard to describe but it had like a slight buzzing sound to it - like an Australian didgeridoo -in any case, amazing dog whisperer. Thank you. Finally - when we both had a chance to sit down - sheer bliss. Now, the last time I had a mint mojito was two years ago in SF when I went to visit my brother. I walked to the Philz from his place the same day I landed, then got me another the next day, and another near the Ferry Building - essentially I got addicted to the mint mojito and had to satiate my fix daily. Sweet and creamy is the way to go. It's a good thing they were handing out samples of other things - the gingersnap and rose were pretty tasty, but perhaps because I'm a bit a creature of habit, I feel like I've found my go-to. Looking forward to the opening in Evanston! read more

The coffee was excellent! Love this place , will definitely be coming here as often as I can.

Bright, open, delicious San Francisco-based coffee shop. I came here on a Monday around 10:30am with a few friends to catch up and do a little work. I got a hot gingersnap which was good but a bit too expensive for my liking. The location is very spacious, but there could definitely be more seating. It was hard for us to find a place for four people to sit when we first got there. read more

about the third time i' ve come here where their register system doesn't work, so... uh, basically can't order anything. no signs up on the door, no one immediately saying the register is down until you actually go to buy something. maybe fix consistent critical issue? ‍ the chocolate chip cookie is good though. read more

Idk how they thought to put mint into an iced coffee or how they pull it off, but they do and it's delicious.

I ordered the mint mojito and was pleasantly surprised. It was refreshing but also creamy and sweet but not over the top. I did end up having to take out some of the mint leaves because the mint flavor began to be a bit too strong for me. That being said it didn't really bother me to do that and I will probably still order the same drink again! Loved it. I also ordered one of the breakfast wraps, and added sriracha, which was surprisingly yummy as well. read more

Better than Starbucks. There, I said it. Come at me, bro. There's no fluff here at Philz, no whipped cream or syrupy nonsense. It's coffee, light, medium, or dark roast, to which you can add cream/milks, and sugar or a sugar substitute of some sort. Get it hot or iced, but it's dead simple to order, and they taste fantastic. They also serve teas here, but I haven't tried any of those yet. The only reason I'm giving this place 4 stars and not 5 is because the green chili burrito I had, well, it sucked. It was 70% tortilla, 25% melted, goopy, yucky cheese, and 5% mystery food that may have been potato. I dunno. All I know is I regret buying it. Stick to the coffee here, and you won't be disappointed. They also have an app that is so easy to use, it should be criminal to walk up to the counter and order in person. read more

no lattes, place is stuffy, and it's very dirty. had to clean the table with napkins because it was there wasn't anyone floating to clean

Love the scent of coffee! One of the best coffee i had in Chicago! no acid taste at all!! read more

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

Still can't get over how you just go up to a barista tell them your order and then they call your name 5 minutes later or so with it ready. No looking at a receipt with the order on it, no writing it down, what if you give them 5 orders? Doesn't matter, they will have all 5 ready soon enough. I've had every medium blends coffee here, they are all really good. Tesora is probably my favorite one. Tip: Order through the app so you don't have to wait in a 10 minute line at this location. read more

This is my first visit to a Chicago Philz and I'm happy to say the quality is the same as in SF. I tried the iced coffee rosé without any modifications. It was delicious, creamy, just sweet enough, with a subtle rose flavor. The place was super busy around noon on a Saturday with lots of students (DePaul gets a 10% discount in fact). The line was long but moved decently quickly. Next time I would try their mobile ordering. read more

HOW am I just trying Philz?? After driving by many times, I was finally determined to stop in after seeing a TikTok about the Philz difference. And dang did it deliver! I was a little nervous/intimidated by the different blends, but ended up going with a Hot Philtered Soul plus a light splash of oat milk. The coffee is brewed, one cup at a time, right in front of you! And once it's ready, the barista makes sure you like it before you leave. The hazelnut, chocolate taste really shined, and the oat milk was the perfect creamy touch. All coffee lovers will enjoy this place. read more

Ridiculous prices ; $5 for a medium drip coffee! Slow service Hard pass on this one unfortunately. read more

Terrible experience, the girl was rude taking my order absolutely insane. What kind of SELF ABSORBED coffee shop is this, DOORS SAY EXIT THAT ARE LOCKED. SO UNORGANIZED. Pictures of employees everywhere?? Screw your employees this is about MY COFFEE AND FOOD NOT YOU GUYS AND YOU TERRIBLE CRAP BREAKFAST AND YOUR ATTITUDES. They need to be re trained on their customer service. not to count the coffee was terrible it was completely different at the Philz I go to: this place should be shut down read more

Philtered soul cold brew with oat milk: This is a well balanced cold drink. It is just strong enough to preserve the flavor of the beans in an elegant way. The beans are well toasted and roasted. They taste like gold. The hazelnut flavor is not too loud as I find it can be in other coffee blends, and it compliments the medium bean quite delicately. I would not consider this a full bodied drink, although I do not think that is a bad thing; this coffee is refreshing and slightly airy but still grounded. It's like a puppy with a balloon tied on it's tail that's almost floating but his front paws are still in contact with the ground. So cute! Finally, I really appreciate that this coffee mixed well with the oat milk in flavor and physical blending. read more

Philz in Chicago woohoo!! Still bitter that there isn't one in my old home (MN) or new (NY). Not much to say here other than I love this chain and this location is every bit as great as any other. Friendly and quick service, lots of seating, great coffee. Warm and cozy vibes all around. Get yourself a sweet & creamy gingersnap or mint mojito! read more

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

I come here a lot to do work, especially in the summer. Overall I really enjoy and they usually have great music :)

Not to long ago I started working next door to this place. I had no idea where to go for lunch and wanted something small. Upon entering I got greeted by the most amazing staff! Super happy and helpful. I got a regular coffee and a almond croissant OMG!!!!!!! THAT WAS THE BEST ALMOND CROISSANT I HAVE EVER HAD (addicted seriously I have one every day... HELP ME) I have been going there ever since. The coffee is delicious and strong enough to help me fight the urge of knocking out at my desk. The staff tho.... honestly... they are what make this place so great. They are all amazing, kind, and make you feel at home they definitely go above and beyond to make customers day. I cannot say enough about this place except try it! No matter what kind of day you are having, entering this jem will make it better! There should definitely be more places like this, and more kind employees like this! Kudos to the manager too, this staff is happy to work here and it shows! read more

Best cup of coffee I've ever had! Excellent customer service and the fact that they brew each cup to order REALLY makes a difference. read more

Philz is always comfortable. That's all I gotta say. Oh! And the people who work here are hella nice. The super nice human who made my bev was really interested in how I experienced the blend they recommended. Tops. read more

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

Okay, I understand that Philz is becoming slightly chainy, rooting from SF and slowly spreading across the country. But honestly, I don't' care. I LOVE Philz! My bf took me to the very first location in the Mission District(?) and I just fell in love with the mint mojito. Prior to moving to Chicago, I found out that Philz was opening several locations and I was thrilled that they were opening one in Lincoln Park! I love the location, space, and workers. The employees honestly give great customer service! And sadly, that's sometimes hard to find at a coffee shop. I've tried most of their specialty drinks, the rosé, mint mojito, tesora, philtered soul, jacobs wonderbar...etc...everything tastes great! You can customize the drinks and make it philz way, it can get sweet sometimes, so make sure you speak to your barista. The baristas are also open to giving recommendations if you're unsure of what you want, so don't be afraid to ask questions if you have any. Thank you Philz Lincoln Park for being so awesome! read more

As a California native, it is so nice to see Philz in Chicago. The quality was exactly the same as I've had in SF and San Diego and great customer service! I got the gratitude with oat milk and medium honey. Just wanted to try something different. Normally, I go for the Tesora. The coffee was really good but I probably won't get it again, just because I love the Tesora so much. Regardless, it was a great drink for a cold Chicago day! Would highly recommend anyone in Lincoln Park to try out this Philz location. read more

I used to go out of my way for Philz when I was in a California. Now that it's in Chicago it's still one of my favorites. Awesome coffee and nice people. Can't go wrong. read more

Slow, rude and DISRESPECTFUL staff!!!! Was it because of my race?! Probably!! First and last time I visit this place.

Came in wanting matcha but they don't have, barista was super helpful when I wanted something else! Got a "rosé" which is essentially a rose latte - one of the better rose lattes I've had! Was able to find seating to do work, if anything I'd prefer the music to be a little bit quieter/chill for a Sunday, they were playing bangers tho read more

This spot is amazing!! They do all pour overs, you can get them hot or iced, sweet or unsweetened, some even come with mint! I got the Wonderbar coffee iced Philz way, and I gotta say that it was one of the BEST coffees I've ever had. I was blown away! My husband got the same thing but hot, and though I am a cold coffee gal, it was so much better hot! I love that the baristas here take the time to create your drink, have you try it and hear if they can make any adjustment. They want you to have the best experience you can-- which is appreciated because the coffees are pretty pricy. I wish that Philz would come to Detroit! read more

We are regulars at Philz. We have tried a lot of different blends made in different ways- nothing disappoints! The drinks are made quickly and pick-up is easy and safe. read more
