Philz is very popular. It's for good reason. They puts lot of attention into making your order a satisfying experience. For first-timers, the staff taking your order will be very helpful to guide you to find the best combination that will suit your taste. They are very friendly. The coffee at Philz is not good...it's great! Don't walk in if you're in a hurry! Your patience will be rewarded. The room is large and airy. The vibe is generally relaxed. My favorite was the dark roast Ether, oak milk and stevia! read more

I'm ashamed to say I've lived in California for 4 years and despite visiting Philz before, I never ordered anything! I decided to stop by for a quick caffeine and sugar kick. I ordered the Small Iced Mint Mojito (~$5). You NEED to get it The House Way. That basically means they add "creamy cream" and "sweet sugar". It is a MUST! The drink was a beautiful blend of sweet mint and bitter coffee. It was super creamy which I loved! I do think they put too much ice, so I recommend asking for light ice. Overall, I was shocked at how amazing this drink was and disappointed in myself for not getting it before! Do yourself a favor and stop by Philz! You will not regret it! read more

I honestly don't know why any Philz has less than 5 stars. There is a lot of seating and sometimes you might need to make a new friend to sit during peak hours. The coffee is always so good and the staff is always calm and nice even when it is busy. I love spending my time here :) read more

I ordered the Philz Mint Tea. I was chocked full of mint leaves which made it that much more minty. The perfect cold drink for a hot day. Their restroom wasn't available to use and you had to order and wait outside until your name is called. read more

I was heading back to the Bay Area on a road trip and decided to stop by Philz for some coffee. Philz is one of my go to coffee spots in the Bay Area, so I was excited to check out the Davis location. The inside is quite spacious and there is lots of seating both on the couch and at the tables. The Christmas decorations made it feel extra festive and cozy. I ordered the Philtered Soul which was creamy and not too sweet. The coffee flavor was quite strong too. We did have to wait for a while for our coffee since there was one barista taking drinks and making orders, but she was super friendly and sweet. read more

Philz Coffee - Philtered Soul - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davis, California

I'm in the area on Saturday mornings and it's always packed and lively. I love the inside of the shop but there's usually a bit too much going on for me to hang out. The staff are pushing out drinks like clockwork. I just grabbed a Philtered Soul to go and it was awesome. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE. I have been such a big fan of Philz ever since I can remember. From the Mocha Tesora to the Greater Alarm, there is just so many different drinks that I love from here. I usually will stick to one drink when I go to coffee shops, however, I don't mind too much mixing it up here. My top three drinks here: 1. Philtered Soul 2. Cold Brew w/ Oatmilk 3. Mocha Tesora I will usually got for the Philtered Soul and as for it Philz way (sweet and creamy). I also want to shout out their bacon & onion croissant. I like how flaky the pastry is and how it gives such a sweet and savory flavor. One of my favorite things to grab for a quick breakfast, especially the location in Davis. Shout out to all of the workers here for always being so consistent with their drinks and for their friendly customer service! read more

Philz Coffee - Iced coffee rosé - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davis, California

Philz coffee is my top favorite. I will travel just to buy Philz! If I'm in the city and I see a Philz nearby, I always get my favorite, Iced Mint Mojito! Sweet, Creamy, Minty. When you go inside, you order one of their Featured Creations, my other fav is the Ecstatic Iced Coffee- Caramel, Dried Apricot, Dark Chocolate flavor. You tell them how much sweetness and creamy you want it. When the barista makes it you taste it in front of them and they ask if it tastes right. (Which is the best part- your own personal barista!) The Philz coffee place in Davis is the closest to where I live so it's a must! Parking is street parking, and they close at 6pm. Now they feature Philz in some participating Safeway locations- my favorite brand to buy is Tesora! We will be back! read more

My first time at Philz! The ordering/waiting area was a little bit confusing, but the baristas were super kind in explaining their philosophy and what drinks they recommended. I tried the honey haze and it had that signature creamy top with really amazing honey flavor. It was a lot sweeter than I was expecting though, but I did find out later that you can adjust the sweetness level for the drinks. It seems like a busy location as there were many students in there working/studying. read more

Philz Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davis, California

Came here a couple times already and the service is always quick and all the workers are really nice. I have tried so far philtered soul (10/10) and the iced coffee rose (10/10) both are delicious with very unique flavors. Philtered soul has a very good nutty after taste, it's subtle but delicious. Iced coffee rose had a nice floral taste that goes really well with the coffee, reminds me of another rose coffee drink I've had back in socal. The music here is always hitting and I find myself enjoying spending time here on a slow afternoon. Lots of students come here to study and it's usually packed during the school year. read more

Solid location in downtown Davis! Even though it's pricier, it beats Starbucks down the street any day, lol. Super friendly baristas, who care that you're satisfied with your drink. They're willing to adjust the drink if it's not sweet enough or remake the drink. It's a great study location, if you need to get out of your apartment. Anyone believe in secondhand caffeine high? Cause I love smelling the coffee here, hah! read more

First time visiting. Will be coming back. Asked the cashier her recommendations given it is my first Philz ever, and she absolutely rocked it. Pear kouign amann and creamy medium sweet iced mint mojito. It did get incredibly busy (fair warning for fellow students / those wanting to work here), but I got here at 9 AM just before the rush. Great playlist and good seating options. Cannot wait to come back. read more

Philz Coffee - Pear kouign amann and iced mint mojito (on my textbook which they do not sell here LOL) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davis, California

There are literally flies all over this place and the floors are so dirty. Hair everywhere. And crumbs as well. Flies were all around me while I tried to study. And it is not because I am stinky..! By the way they were playing club music. I was trying to study and I wanted to dance. If they are going to play bad bunny they need to get rid of the tables and institute a dance floor. Otherwise put on mazzy star or something. I got the ginger snap latte. Which tasted like pumpkin spice ashtray. I studied chemistry here. Which is my least favorite subject. Overall very negative experience...And I do not smell! At all.. read more

Philz is my go to place to get coffee when I'm in Davis. Can't go wrong with the mint mojito. The iced coffee rose is pretty good as well. You can also order thru the app! read more

Philz Coffee - two cups of coffee on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davis, California

Philz is always hit or miss for me depending on which barista makes my drink. I used to go here all the time and found the drinks to be more watered down than other Philz I've tried. I went again recently after 3 years and it was pretty good! Philz does the job in getting you caffeinated but the taste changes each time. I wish it was more uniform across the board. This might be because I prefer espresso based drinks over pour over drinks which is what Philz specializes in. It's a nice coffeeshop to chat or study in but definitely gets crowded with students most of the time! read more

I've only been here once before so I don't know the menu well. I had a super nice and helpful barista who recommended the Philtered Soul coffee with cream to me. It was very good and exactly what I wanted. It was creamy and smooth but strong. This drink is a coffee that has a slight hazelnut flavor to it. It's nice and relatively subtle. Hit the spot on this 55F afternoon! It was really well set up for the pandemic with tables set up by first name in alphabetical order (I should've taken photos, next time I'll update this post). E.g. A-D, E-H, etc. They call out your order under the name you give them and place it at the table. There is a plastic guard at the ordering window and an easy to use square type card reader and iPad. I don't know if they're a cash free establishment. They have you wait outside until they call your name. The line is set up with good spacing as well. It seemed well designed for this pandemic. I waited maybe 3-4 minutes for my drink. It was pretty fast, and there were about 8 people in various group configurations ahead of me that got their drinks right around the same moment as I did. So it was not more than 6 minutes for all of us. You can also order ahead, etc. Cleanliness: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Coffee: (what she recommended and I ordered) 5/5 (I don't try to correct my name spelling for people. I just let them spell it however they want at coffee shops). read more

Philz Coffee - Drink order - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davis, California

LOVE the app to order my coffee. Due to students being back I dread waiting in line but I order via app as I'm about to head into downtown and it's always ready on time. Honey haze is my favorite drink and obviously the mojito always hits the spot too. Plenty of seating and and there's always good music playing ! read more

My favourite coffee spot during Covid, earlier pandemic you just walked up to the door and collected with an app order, now they allow you walk through the building to order and pick up. I order through the app as it's convenient. Especially with Apple Pay (: Absolute favorite drink is the iced rose, I love that they have non dairy and non sugar options, its one of the reasons I'll come here over other local coffee shops read more

Philz Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davis, California

Superb study spot to get your daily dose of caffeine, catch up with friends, or simply get work done. I like how large the space is, with a balance of industrial chic and cozy Central Perk vibes. The Philz locations near me are certainly not this charming. As temperatures go up, iced coffee is one of my top beverages to stay cool and beat the summer heat. They have a couple of unique varieties that I tend to cycle through. Mint Mojito is a crowd favorite, it's sweet and creamy. Iced Gingersnap is a flavorful concoction of cinnamon, nutmeg, and spices. For hot coffee, I've only had Dancing Water - a lighter blend that has nuttiness due to the almonds and sweetness from the hints of chocolate. The acidity was a little too much for my liking. Where they really shine is the food menu honestly. Mediterranean Avocado & Egg Toast is one of the best I've ever had. The sourdough is nicely toasted, the avocado spread is generous, and the sprinkles of herbs and eggs are nice additions to an already solid treat. For something sweet, Almond Butter & Jam Toast does not disappoint. Not everything turns out well, their Turkey Sandwich tastes like an overpriced McMuffin. Overall though, Philz has a great selection of hot breakfast items and baked goods. They do things a little weird here. Patrons walk up to the counter and order their drinks from the baristas. Then, you walk to the register, tell the cashier what you ordered, any food items you would like to add, and pay there. Finally, you wait until the barista calls out your order. Confusing at first, but there is a large sign to direct you. read more

The coffee here are solid, but the service can be a bit slow. Try to order ahead if possible. Good spot to work at, but the place can get pretty busy due to student influx. If you want a guaranteed table, come early in the day. read more

One of my favorite locations! Just ordered Jacob's Wonderbar (dark chocolate, smoke, nuts) with oatmilk. -Anthonyxibarrax read more

Welcome to Davis, Philz!!! I no longer have to travel to San Francisco for the best coffee of my entire life. Don't compare this to Starbucks or Peet's. It's it's own thing. It's a pour over place. You can't get your grande half caf virgin soy mocha latte with whip here. What you CAN get is a fantastic pour over... And a great selection, made by a knowledge barista. They also make a great avocado toast. It's a must have! It may not be as fast as Starbucks but I understand they have a mobile app now so that might be helpful for some people. When I come here I'm usually in no hurry. Five stars, Philz! And again, welcome! read more

Philz Coffee - Small Jacobs with avocado toast. Nom nom.... - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davis, California

The best coffee on earth. Nothing like a Philz mint mojito. Order it sweet with cream and honey. Perfection.

The hype: there is a lot of it out there. First, it opened a week ago. Not quite a grand opening anymore. Secondly, Davis needs more places to purchase $4+ cups of coffee. Really? I should stop with that. "Should" not "will." So I went in looking to get a drink to share and saw arrows drawn on the ground to the "barista bar" or whatever it is you want to call it. There, a young woman took my order and began making it. You'd think that the next order of business would be to pay for it. It sorta is, but not from where you order your cup of brew. I was told to mosey on down to the next counter where I saw food...not where you pay. Continue your voyage to the another wall of the establishment where you find trendy iPad-ish registers. Tell them what sort of drink you've ordered and pay. Oh ya, that drink for which you just threw down a number of dollars....it's back where you ordered it. Also, hope you didn't forget to pay for the food you chose! The layout of this place is not meant for speed. The barista was reasonably courteous and offered to adjust my drink once I'd tasted it. Mainly, her concern was the level of sweetness of my drink- I'd ordered a "creamy" (Tesora) mocha with no sweetener. Quite refreshing to have a "mocha" drink that didn't make me want to brush my teeth after consumption! Bottom line for me is that it was okay. Nothing to jump and and down about- a seemingly customized drink order. And it's Downtown Davis- parking is going to blow more often than not unless it's summer or break time. I'll continue making my drinks at home and if someone really wants to try this place out, I'll go again. But it wasn't enough to bring me back by myself. read more

I was naturally on my way to get boba at T4 to feed my boba addiction, and as I was crossing the street, I had done a double take when I saw the Philz sign! I couldn't believe my eyes! Finally my favorite coffee made its way up to Davis! If only it were here when I was a student... but then it could have gotten really bad, either 1) they would have to drag me out since I'm so addicted to the coffee or 2) I'd go broke spending my college fund on this gem. Anyways, I finally made it in and I couldn't believe how extravagant it is! Super big space! Great for studying! I've been to pretty much all the Philz in the bay and Sac, this one seems by far the biggest and less crowded so far....I foresee it getting busier overtime ... I did find out that this is one of the first locations that has their food bar out in front. I never knew they sold food (besides the bakery) until this location. Definitely a good idea to market their food items, because I would have never known. What I tried: 1) Mediterranean avocado toast -I love avocado toast and this one felt very healthy! I usually like my eggs runny, but hard boil wasn't too bad. The olive oil and seasoning was a great top off. 2) Mint mojito - EXTRA SWEET and CREAMY - with light ice of course (to get your moneys worth) -made to perfection, the barista did a great job making my drink -my go to drink! -you don't have to get it extra sweet and creamy like I did, but I just have a big sweet tooth, and knowing that caffeine doesn't work for me, I'm banking on the sugary high to keep me awake Other recommendations to try: 3) mocha tesora (iced coffee) - I've tried this at other places, and this is my 2nd go to, at first I wasn't sure how I would feel about the dark chocolate, but they can make it sweet. 4) ecstatic (iced coffee) -honestly every time I have this drink, it almost taste like the mojito (depending on who makes it), so if your on a budget and wanna save some $ and get a similar mint mojito taste (just not as minty), go for this drink! Overall: -excellent drinks, excellent place to study, just excellent overall! read more

This Philz makes quality coffee. I always either get the mint mojito or the iced coffee rose. I haven't had a poor made drink here so it's my go-to coffee shop in Davis over Starbucks and Peet's. My only qualm about this coffee shop is that there's always a long line that moves pretty slow but the baristas are pretty good at managing the orders. All-in-all a pretty good Philz location. read more

The staff was so welcoming, talkative in a good way, helpful, and overall awesome! Barista Hannah was kind and friendly, and was able to answer all my silly questions. She made sure we loved our drink before we left and was willing to remake them if we weren't happy with it. Even though I live forty minutes away, it will be a little nice getaway. Next time I'll bring my own cup to save more money. Tried the iced mint mojito + tantalizing turkish + philharmonic maple cardamom. Can't wait to be back! read more

On our way back home to the bay, my friend and I decided to make a pit stop at Philz to get our caffeine fix. This location is spacious and can meet different needs whether that's room to study or space to catch up with friends. The line was long but moved pretty quickly, we got mint mojitos(of course) and avocado toast. The cashier was very chatty and even came up to us while we were eating at our table to see how we were enjoying our food which was nice and something I've never experienced at a coffee shop before. The coffee was good and the space was inviting, I would come back again when in the area. read more

The line was initially short but quickly grew to a very long one. There were 4 employees working with one of them occasionally at the register taking orders, therefore the long line. I've never been to a coffee shop where the person taking orders is doing mostly other things such as food preparation and refilling the coffee grinders. This kind of service took away from the overall experience. read more

Yes! The famous Philz Coffee is now in Davis. We're moving up in the world! This coffee establishment is definitely a popular place to go as they serve up carefully crafted individual cups of coffee and some unique eats as well. I know Philz is most known for their mint mojito coffee drink. They use real mint and the drink is nice and mild. It's creamy and something to savor and enjoy. I really do like this drink and I think it's something to try if you haven't already. There is a wide selection of different coffees on the menu and they are organized from mildest to strongest. I personally find Philz coffee on the stronger side so I tend to go for the more mild varieties. If you're not into coffee you can also order hot chocolate and various type of tea. Like I said earlier, Philz prides itself on each cup of coffee being individually crafted for the person who orders it. Getting a cup does take a little longer than the average coffee place, but it's nice to know that there is care that goes into the cup. The food items at Philz look intriguing, but the portions look small in comparison to the price so I stayed away. Philz is definitely going to be a major player in the coffee establishments in Davis. Having one in town does raise Davis' coffee game though. Stop by if you haven't and see what the fuss is all about! read more

I love this place. Nothing better than grabbing an iced mint mojito before walking the arboretum trail. It can get really packed, but it's expected given the college atmosphere. The people working there have all been friendly and keep things moving! read more

This is one of my favorite coffee places in Davis! Everyone is always so kind and they are very accommodating. I cant drink caffeine and they are always ready to list their decaf options to me. This is a great spot to study and they have sooo much seating. I've never had a problem finding a chair. I like to order their fancier drinks. So far I've had their philharmonic, Mocha Tesora, mint mojito, tesora, Philtered Soul, and their Iced coffee Rosé. All are delicious and fit my different moods. Their Mint Mojito is my go to. They do take a little longer to make your coffee because the drinks have a lot going on. It's just got to know if you are in a big rush. read more

Philz Coffee - 2 mint mojitos - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Davis, California

Came in on a Saturday morning before going to the farmers market. Line was almost to the door. 5 people working behind the counter and the line didn't move for 10 min. The guy that should have been taking orders was doing everything else but customer service. No acknowledging the people waiting, no apology for the wait. After 10 min of just standing with any staff helping to move the line, i left. Disappointing, because I have heard good things. Too bad that doesn't carry over to their customer service . read more
