    Love Philz coffee! I like the ambiance of this coffee shop in Colma. Lots of natural light and just a chill vibe in general. I like that Philz are introducing more seasonal and limited offer drinks. Service is not bad, friendly cashiers and a few friendly baristas.

    They're opening a Philz in San Leandro closer to my place of dwelling! We popped in this location with family around Christmas time one chilly afternoon. Pros: Pastries were satisfying. Almond croissant totally worth it. Banana bread not too shabby. Density was mid. Creative menu. Ample seating. Sufficient place to study or read. Cons: Wait time was exorbitant. Drinks were set out on the counter with no name labeled on them and no one announcing whose order was up.

    Can't go wrong with Tesora drink and a tiramisu tartine!

    I have been going to this particular Philz for a few years now and they have yet to disappoint. I always get a mocha tesora (hot) or my main standard of iced mint mojito (sweet and creamy). The staff is always clear and precise with calling out the order and the wait is hardly long.. unless of course it's a weekend, peak time or short staffed. Understandable of course. I've ordered the almond croissant, lemon sliced bread and tiramisu tartine-- all great choices. They offer to heat it up but I usually go for cold. The bathroom is single stall (all-gender) and does not require a code to enter. There is a nice patio outside to sit in and enjoy the view of target, or two sofas indoor to get a more plush seating. There's pews in front of the baristas to wait. The availability of a water pitcher with cups near the entrance is a plus since I don't have to ask anyone. Overall, I can see why a lot of people go to this particular Philz. Highly recommend!!!

    One of my favorite Philz locations! It is conveniently located near other restaurants and businesses in a rather large parking lot. The service was excellent although at times there was a long wait time. I visited a few times and had tried several of their drinks which were of high quality. I would visit again to try their seasonal drinks and pastries.

    Good old reliable Philz, it's my comfort drink of choice. This spot has plenty of parking. The service here is always fast and friendly. If you are in a rush use the app to order. They make the coffee to order so expect a short wait but it's worth it for the quality. This place is welcoming and with chill vibes. Plenty of seating to take and get some work done.

    The Philz Colma location always seems to either mess up orders or provide weak rushed coffee. Just ordered our normal Ether blend like we always do from the Westborough location and sure enough I dont know what we received but it was definitely not Ether (not even a dark roast). I should have known better to order from this location but the Colma location is closer. It also makes sense that when you order from Westborough it takes on average 10/15 longer to receive your order then Colma which just shows me that Westborough actually has baristas that take pride in their craft, not someone who just pushes out cups of gas station grade coffee.

    I love that parking isn't usually challenging here, but finding a table sometimes is. When you do find a table, it might not have a plug near it to charge, but it might not be an issue, depending on what you're working on. Depending on who is working, the music might be loud or quiet. The options for drinks are plentiful and tasty. Sometimes there aren't pastries if you go later in the day. They recently changed to longer hours, but they seem to have changed back again.

    Who knew there'd be coffee and the police! Drama, drama, drama with and overdose. Hope the guy's okay. It's not because of this coffee though. Drug related. Anyways, this Philz was crowded at 3pm in the afternoon. Got my usual mint mojito, and it was done right.

    Melody L.

    I really like this Philz coffee location. It has great lighting and many tables to work from along with outlets for each table. I also had a great experience with the workers here. All of them have been pleasant to interact with.

DRINKS: 8/10 SERVICE: 10/10 AMBIANCE: 9/10 What I ordered: Brown Sugar Toffee Nut Iced Latte with Oatmilk ($7.88) DRINKS: 8/10 I ordered a Brown Sugar Toffee Nut Iced Latte, and I thought it was good, just not the best iced latte I've ever had. Considering the price point and the size, it felt a bit expensive. To be fair, it's a specialty syrup drink, and I did substitute oat milk, so the cost makes sense. Still, I know other places that offer a slightly larger size for around the same price. My drink tasted a little watered down, but not so much that it ruined the flavor. I could still taste the brown sugar and toffee nut notes. I just wish the espresso flavor came through a bit stronger. On the bright side, I love that they use Califia Barista Oat Milk! SERVICE: 10/10 The staff were very friendly and charismatic, which added to the cheerful morning vibes... loved that! The barista made my drink fairly quickly, but I was also the only one there, haha. AMBIANCE: 9/10 This café definitely had a friendly, community vibe. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was a bulletin board and table filled with community resources, local services, pamphlets, news, and small business ads. I honestly love that. There was plenty of seating, with both group tables and bar stools available. The décor was simple yet cute, which added to the cozy atmosphere. PARKING: 9/10 (does not count toward rating) Parking wasn't as bad as I expected, especially since the café is located on a main street with nearby train stops. I appreciated that the parking spots were spacious, and there's also residential parking available. Since it was a work holiday, I thought it would be packed, but there was actually plenty of street parking.

I got there 15 minutes before closing on a Sunday, so unsurprisingly all the seats were vacant. The drink itself was good, vibrantly purple and not too sweet. I think it was a little light on espresso, though, next time I'd ask for a double (and yes I did specify the espresso-version, apparently the normal ube latte is caffeine-free). The reason I went to Dead Eye is because I wanted some good tasting caffeine that wasn't from a chain and want bubble tea, so in that regards it delivered. They take credit cards.

The second time, I ordered a matcha einspanner, and he got the hojicha einspanner again. Maybe I'm just not too familiar with how to drink einspanners, but the cream pretty much sat on top of the drink. At first, I was mostly just drinking the matcha, which was fine because it was flavorful and seemed to be good quality. Once I got toward the end of the drink, that's when I started tasting the cream. The cream was a little too thick for my liking and left a film-like texture in my mouth, which I didn't love. Since I enjoyed the overall flavor of the drink, I'll give it a 4! The ambiance is cute, and the service was easy. You just order from a kiosk, and they call your name once your drink is ready. The first time I went was on a weekend, and the line was out the door. This time, I went on a weekday, and it was pretty empty. If you're looking for a sweet, caffeinated drink as a pick-me-up, I'd recommend trying it at least once.
