Silly me trying to enter through the doors facing the parking lot. That's how the people inside could probably have known I was new in the area. I arrived early and had some time to kill before going to the office. I had a gift card I've been meaning to use and decided to order an Iced Mint Mojito with a toasted Almond Croissant. The girl who help me was very kind and pleasant to speak with. The ambiance at this location has nice mood lighting when its still sort of dark outside. Areas for sitting, it felt very neighborhoody where it looked like several people would go there to meet up with friends to chat. I wonder if there could be even more seating inside if they tried to fit a few more smaller tables, or areas to sit, they probably could. read more

Eh I don't know if the cashier was having a bad day, but I asked if I can give him my code on the app so i can get my rewards points. He responded with such attitude about doing it on the screen versus simply asking for the code. He kept pushing for me to follow the screen directions to put my phone number. Karma always comes through because of course, I followed his direction and it didn't work, so he ultimately still needed my code. All those steps only to do what I asked from the beginning. His tone was rude and his attitude was unnecessary. We both wasted time. I hope your cashiers get more training on how to speak and treat customers. I gave 2 stars because their coffee and food is good. read more

I came in to get some work & studying done, and I tried the new limited time drink called 'salted butterscotch' at this location. The barista made it so yummy! I can only imagine how delicious everything else is made. All the baristas are also so pretty here-- love the vibe and this team! Very cozy & sunny spot to chill for a few hours and be productive. read more

I know these are all over the place and a Bay Area brand. went in for the first time and discovered its drip coffee place, why would I want this? I can do this at home. I want a coffee made by pressure from a commercial machine with frothed milk. There many choices for coffee and this is not one of them. read more

I was driving from the peninsula to the north bay yesterday afternoon about 4pm and stopped at this location to order coffee and use the bathroom. I asked for the bathroom code and was told the bathrooms were closed for cleaning. The tone by the cashier was very dismissive. When asking again if there was any way to use the restroom and asked when they expected to be open again she said they were probably closed for the rest of the day. We were in Philz over an hour before closing and both restrooms were locked to customers. Since this location serves food it seems like this is a health code violation. If it's not a health code violation, at the very least, it's not a customer friendly policy. It seems like one restroom should be cleaned at a time leaving one available to customers or is this just the staffs way of getting out a little more quickly at the end of the day? read more

I have had an awful experience at this Philz coffee. They ground my coffee into powder and it was so bitter as to be undrinkable. When I tried to exchange it they refused and offered a miniscule discount on a new bag. Their coffee may be ok but their customer service is terrible. I will never go there again. read more

This place used to be good. I still have my drink HALF A FUCKING HOUR AFTER ORDERING. I'm leaving. Fuck this place.

I'm from the Midwest & always wanted to try Philz Coffee! Although it was busy, my coffee was great quality. It was everything I dreamed of. The drinks come in paper cups to support sustainability, love it. read more

Food/drinks good, ambiance fine (not noteworthy), service slow. I got the kouign ammon and Jakob's Wonderbar roast with light cream. The coffee was very good (and I'm picky about coffee!) and the pastry was buttery, flaky, and delicious. Just don't come here if you're in a rush - line to order moved incredibly slowly. read more

Philz Coffee - Kouign ammon - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Corte Madera, California

Philz Corte Madera is hands-down my favorite coffee spot. I don't even go to espresso bars anymore because nothing compares to a cup of Philz -- smooth, flavorful, and made exactly how you want it. What really makes this location shine is the team. The baristas work incredibly hard and still create a vibe that's playful, kind, and inclusive -- even when the line is long or the customers are demanding. They treat everyone with patience and respect, usually with playful banter, and you can tell they genuinely care about both the drinks they're making and the people they're serving. There are many regulars for a reason! If you want to try something new, they'll happily help you dial in the flavors until you find your perfect match -- it's a truly customized experience you can't get anywhere else. There are definitely a few standout baristas, but honestly, it's the team dynamic that makes this store special. It feels inclusive, positive, and like a place you want to keep coming back to. Waiting a couple extra minutes for a perfectly made cup is well worth it when the service is this thoughtful. Thank you, Philz Corte Madera, for consistently providing such a positive experience (even when the house is too damn full!). You all are the reason this place isn't just a coffee shop -- it's a community spot. ETA: I just read the review from Miriam that's 1 star, and felt the need to come back and name that the fact you learned they were closing, still ordered 5 drinks, complained at their pace (pour over coffee takes time -- there isn't a machine involved), and then came on Yelp to leave a 1 start review is wildly ungrateful. That sounds like excellent customer service for someone who doesn't have any experience in service work. read more

8/19/2025 This was my first time visiting this location, and I wasn't aware they were closing soon. The male cashier immediately noticed we were a group of five and made a rude and annoying comment, urging us to order quickly. His tone and demeanor were unpleasant. When I asked about my drink, he said, "Girl, you have 5 drinks!!" in a dismissive way. It felt like we were being rushed simply because of our group size, rather than being treated as valued customers. I spoke to the person making the drinks, and she explained that he was behaving that way because it was closing time. While I understand the store is closing, this does not excuse rude behavior. It seems there may be a lack of training regarding customer service and professionalism. I hope management addresses this so that future customers feel respected and welcomed. read more

This Philz is a larger store with a lot of space and seating. Good service and individually brewed coffee. read more

Philz Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Corte Madera, California

This location needs to do a few things better. 1. On occasion the lines are way way too long and the cashier is just not moving fast enough. 2. When there is no line, the cashier is standing around and talking to other workers while keeping a customer waiting and while a new long line is starting to develop. 3. When you add in the price of the coffee and then the length it takes to make a cup, there's no reason to be here. read more

I was in this part of the area due to a scheduled CPR class that I had to attend. I scouted around the area and saw that there was a Philz nearby and decided to come after my class was over. I ordered via the App and my drink was ready by the time I got there. Upon pick-up, my barista thanked me for my visit and asked before I leave if the drink was great. Mint mojito: My go to drink whenever I am at Philz. I have been to a few locations, but I got to say this place did it perfectly for me. It was sweet and creamy in all the right spots, with not one of them overpowering the other. Some other Philz I have been to either put too much or too little cream, and they got it just right. The mint leaves gave it that nice refreshing feeling and I was able to enjoy my sip all the way back home. Overall, this turned out great. Carter was very friendly and social and I thank him a lot for making my drink this morning on my long drive to this part of the state I have never been to before. read more

Philz Coffee - Medium Mint Mojito - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Corte Madera, California

Made a quick pit stop here during a roadtrip. Location was easy to find, had plenty of parking, though the parking lot is quite weirdly designed... but anyhoo, interior was large and had some seating. We actually ended up placing our order through the app and waiting for it to be ready, as the line to order & pay was almost 20 people long. Took about 25 minutes for our coffees to be ready, but I don't fault them for that given the huge crowd we saw when we ordered. It was a bit weird that the barista didn't acknowledge us at all when we thanked them for our coffees, but maybe they were just too busy to notice. Coffees tasted fine, just like what we'd expect from any other Philz. read more

I really enjoy their coffee, but the service is horrible. I usually don't order ahead, which is on me, but the last time I went it was a complete mess. I waited nearly 20 minutes for my coffee, only to watch another customer pick up my drink, realize it wasn't theirs, and put it back. I was standing right there and expected the barista to remake it, but after another 5 minutes I checked in and she seemed completely unaware. It took almost 30 minutes in total before I finally got my drink. That's not normal. Unfortunately, I'll be avoiding this coffee shop from now on. read more

Yeah their coffee is delicious but their customer service sucks. No one acknowledged me at all, even with the long wait. Mobile order had been placed 10 min prior to arriving. I've never done a mobile there before so I just waited at the sign that said mobile orders. But they don't put the mobile order food at that sign, they put it at the regular handoff. No one called anything out, or if they did it wasn't loud enough for me to hear it even though I was paying attention. For those prices, I expect a better experience. read more

Todd 23 minutes just to order. Only 7 people ahead of me. Then it took another 25 minutes to get my coffee. FRUSTRATING!!

We love Philz Coffee, but we love the staff even more. Carter, Jesse, Max, Bonnie Mary, and too many others to name are the best! Everyone who makes our cups of love is so thoughtful. They remember our order and know how to make our coffee just the way we like it. My Mom is very particular about her coffee and she gets a perfect cup every time! They are personable, professional , consistent and brighten our mood when we walk in. We have been going to Philz for three + years and will keep going back. Thank you Philz team at Corte Madera! Kuddos to the managers and staff read more

Ordered Honey Haze (hot custom order) and 15 minutes later was told they couldn't fulfill the order so I had to get Philtered Soul. * Slow service (there were 4 people behind the counter) * Watered down coffee * Lids are placed directly on the dirty counter (that everyone and their grubby hands have touched) face down with not so much as a napkin to buffer it read more

First time coming here, we ordered our drinks through the app with a wait time 45 minutes for drinks to be ready. We walked to the barista to make sure that they have our drinks on queue, this individual confirmed the they were. Since we were early we figured why not use the lavatories, we're surprised and disappointed that both restrooms were out of order without any other alternative option as far as the location of the nearest bathroom due to inconvenience etc... none of the that was posted. Communication is a key specially for tourist that expect highly of this coffee shop. After waiting over 30mins, we checked back with the same barista and said that they don't see our drinks, which is obviously absurd so I showed them my app that indicated the location of where I would placed my ordered with the drinks. Then all of a sudden they said "oh I see your order now". Uhm really though! We ordered two large hot chai, creamy, sweet! What we got was two large hot uhm water with a hint of chai, with more water flavor, I was still trying to figure out it there was supposed to be some sort of sugar or cream in our drinks because all was in there was brown looking water down drinks. I even offered to get rid of the drinks, I was told to dumped the bland tasting drinks to the bushes outside. I honestly didn't want to do that to the bushes but (I'm sorry Mother Nature for sharing that bland water down drinks) So we came back to get our drinks changed, which was a mistake. we should've honestly ask for a refund at this point. But gave it another try, this time two large hot mocha tesora, creamy, sweet. Then again they got the a few things right, two large hot uhm coffee flavor, I think mocha didn't touch our drinks, creamy ? Uhm yeah not in our drinks either. You bet your Philz coffee enthusiasts that we will not be coming back here moving forward. Oh yeah ambiance, sure the restroom would've been great but they were both out of service, tons of seating area amazing for students who want to do their homework etc or hang out. read more

Excellent excellent excellent coffee here. Prepare to camp out in line, though the service is fast, and they always direct you what to do, where to pay, and where to wait. Tons of workers and students hang out here, making for a bit of a cramped space but a busy ambiance. Super tasty coffee which they hand drip for you, just the way you like it. I love this place and it's on the edge of a mall with plenty of parking. Totally a destination coffee place. read more

Absolutely amateur hour every time I come here...void of any lack of urgency; it is so apparent that after having to cancel my order this morning because it took so long, the cashier ACTUALLY said to me "Yeah, don't come to Philz if you are in a hurry!" (my goodness, what an excellent brand ambassador...) read more

My first time to go to this location. Though the place looks nice and is in a good location, this is the first time that I went to a Philz (and I've been to many) where the young guy who took my order this afternoon was one who didn't seem to like his job at all. You don't need to be superfriendly with customers, but this guy was just sullen, unsmiling, and didn't seem to care at all despite my best efforts to be cordial. I guess the reception equals the flavor of the coffee because I always get good-flavored coffee in all the Philz locations I've been to. When I arrived home and was looking forward to drinking my coffee, there was no sweetness in it whatsoever - a reflection of that guy's surliness? Yup, he didn't even care to ask if I wanted any sugar or sweeteners in my coffee. I always get my coffee from Philz for the good quality. This time, I was disappointed. read more

Our company orders coffee for employees every Wednesday. We tried ordering drinks through the app but it only allows up to 4 items per order, and 3 orders max at a time. It would be a pain to do that for around 30 items (drink and pasty) since our managers will need to keep so many receipts. So I called the shop asking if we could order over the phone so we can just have one receipt. The guy over the phone who worked on 9/27/23 was super rude. He sounded shock at the amount of items we wanted to order and was rushing and said you can't order over the phone. I told him it would be difficult to do it on the app and see what other options we have, but he rudely said you just have to keep doing it and HUNG UP on me. I get it. You get busy sometimes or it may not be your policy to take order over the phone. But please do NOT hang up on customers like that. That's super RUDE. He could have politely said no. I used to work in a restaurant before and I never hang up on a customer like that no matter how busy it gets. We were just trying to support your business and this is what we get?! For coffee and pasty, yes they are tasty. Will I come back to this location? Probably not. Not the best experience already. We will order our coffees from somewhere else. There are other places that have better or comparable drinks but with a better service. read more

This place absolutely sucks. Their coffee taste terrible and their food taste terrible. It's a strange atmosphere with politics thrown in your face. Uncomfortable seating, very cold in there too. Strange confusing layout. Philz is the most overrated coffee chain. read more

Phyllis is the best of the best when it comes to bay area nostalgia! Their coffee is good and they customize exactly to your liking. Employees are literally trained to say "take a sip and let me know if it tastes perfect" so that you don't walk away with a cup of coffee and you won't enjoy. My personal favorite is getting silken splendor and if I want do treat myself I'll get a mint mojito light sweet. I'm vegan so I love that they have a vegan breakfast sandwich. Wish they still carried the delicious vegan donuts from years ago! read more

Philz Coffee! This is my second time going to Philz Coffee, but first time going to this location. Good vibes from a rather laidback comfortable place, filled with friendly staff.

Philz Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Corte Madera, California

The blandest Philz I've ever had. Maybe the workers should head across the bridge into SF and try where Philz originated from. This flavor and texture of our drinks wouldn't pass at all. Not to mention the rigorous wait time ordering through the mobile app to both of the restrooms being out of order. We waited here for over 1 hour for our drinks and will not be Returning. I've went to the barista area and informed them we are here and waiting and if possible to please make our drinks sooner. It doesn't help that the barista claimed to first see our order then after waiting 30 minutes and coming back to the same barista claimed that she couldn't see our drinks. Our drinks tasted watered down and there is no flavor, the consistency was not good at all. Just like drinking watered down chai, didn't taste creamy nor sweet that we indicated on our drinks. We even had them change the drink to see if the consistency would be the same, we were correct. No flavor between their chai and mocha. read more

Philz Coffee - Philz Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Corte Madera, California

The coffee is great. The overall experience however... My coffee took,,,,, ready for this,,,, 26 minutes. Yes, 26 minutes!!!!!! Do I need to say more? If I do, I will. I can appreciate that the coffee here is made to order and that something that is made to order takes time. But,,, 26 minutes for a coffee is insane. Truly. Think about everything else you can achieve in 26 minutes. Additionally, after about 20 minutes, I went to the barista and respectfully asked if my coffee was close to being done and the response I got from Courtney was an eye roll and a quip, "You should have gotten an ETA when you ordered your drink." Ummm,,, fair enough, but I'm sorry, a "let me check, it should be ready in a few more minutes." followed by a smile would have been a more appropriate response from someone in hospitality. "Lovingly made by Courtney", said the label. Um, no, it wasn't. Philz, you are a "cool" coffee shop but,,, I don't need these drinks that badly. read more
