    Coffee beans
    Eliseo R.

    I knew I had a long drive on the way back to LA, so I decided to come here. My friends love Philz Coffee but I'm not a regular, especially with coffee, but I do love chocolate!!! My order was their popular Iced Mocha Tesora (Tesora blend + cocoa). It tasted perfect to me and got me awake within 15 minutes. I thought this spot was really nice when I walked in!!! There was plenty of seats (most taken by people studying or hanging out) but there's a large bench to sit at while waiting for orders. Bathrooms in the back also have a small bench where you can sit infront of. The parking lot is pretty full with lots of businesses in the area, but you can't beat free parking. Lots of patio seating too in the plaza area with a door to the back.

    I did a mobile order on my way to work, and it was ready before the estimated time! The employees were welcoming and offered to make any adjustments if I needed (: I am SO HAPPY the tiramisu is staying for a lil while longer - one of the best seasonal drinks I've tried! I find it quite sweet so I would do minimal sweetness since they had the tiramisu syrup and sugar. Definitely coming back!

    Pistachio Spice (medium) iced

    Service is great WiFi available Bathroom present Ordered a new drink called Pistachio spice. I got it ice. I don't think I would order it again. I do however love the iced ginger snap here! I should've went with what I'm familiar with. I am a fan of pistachio so I was intrigued and convinced to buy it when it said new!

    Philz coffee!!! One thing I really miss no longer living in California is Philz Coffee. To me, all Philz Coffee is 5 stars! People are friendly, the vibes are good, and their mojito coffee and rose coffee- especially when you order them creamy. I wish I could drink them every day

    Stopped by Philz Coffee this morning to do some reading and studying, before my dr appointment, and it reminded me why I've always loved this place. I remember when this location first opened and how pumped I was about it. I don't live in the area anymore, so it's a bit of a bummer that it's so far from me now especially since this was one of the first Philz locations to open in San Diego. I really wish they had one down south. Anytime I'm up north though, I make it a point to stop by. The customer service is always top-tier and the baristas genuinely know their coffee. Today I kept it simple with an all-black light roast (even though the Mint Mojito is usually my go-to), and it was perfect. The vibe here is great too clean, calm, and welcoming for getting work done. I especially love the aesthetic, with local La Jolla artwork painted on the walls by local artists. Such a cool touch. Service is consistently solid, coffee is always on point, and it's a place I'll keep coming back to whenever I'm in the area. Highly recommend if you're looking for good coffee and a chill spot to read or study

    smores cold brew (hot)
    Jamie P.

    Tried the s'mores cold brew and it was delicious. Bummed that mine didn't come with marshmallows like the photos. Lots of seatings to work and very fast service.

    Stopped by this location on a rainy Thursday afternoon and got their Mocha Tesora. Was only planning to drink half but it was so good that I ended up drinking the whole thing! The right blend of sweetness and coffee. It was pretty packed, which makes sense being close to campus but I was able to find a seat eventually after getting my coffee. The comfort was a bit lacking as I wasn't able to get a proper table, so that's something you want to consider if you want to study/WFH here. Otherwise, a good spot for coffee.

    Marlene G.

    I love this Philz location! As always, their drinks are super flavorful. I love the variety of coffee types they have to offer, and their seasonal drinks are always a hit. Right now, they have a spiced vanilla and banana cold brew for the fall. Service is generally speedy too, except when the line gets long:) It's also a great spot to study, as there are plenty of tables. The decorations on the walls are also super cute!

    Coffee with cheap plastic lid
    Eid F.

    Coffee Lids Suck!! Cheap plastic lids that do not stop coffee from spilling around the "sealed" lip. Service was great, coffee tasted like coffee, plenty of seating. A little loud and little messy. Parking lot is always busy and hectic.

    Dii T.

    My first visit to a Philz Coffee. Love that the coffee beans here have sweet notes so you don't need to add syrup (which they don't have syrups here, only notes and sugar). They don't do lattes but they have their own specialty drinks Lots of seating here. Service is very friendly and upbeat! I would come back! Thanks for explaining how to Philz to me with such patience and up eat energy at the same time! I see they're offer breakfast and pastries too, maybe I'll try them next time!

    Hot coffe rose
    Fiona N.

    I didn't know Philz was available in SD. I moved from SF and missed Philz greatly and was delighted to walk by it today. I ordered my favorite coffee rose in hot today.ad it was a bit chilly in the morning. I gotta say, it would have been better in iced. One star off coz the barista was kind of not very helpful today. Usually the baristas r nicer

    Philtered Soul
    Jenifer B.

    Got the philtered soul and it was delicious! Can't wait to go back to try more things. The cafe itself was pretty busy, lively with lots of people doing work/on their computers. I like that each barista has their own station so if there is someone you like that makes your drink well, you can have them specifically make it.

    Seating area
    Chris M.

    It was located in a shopping center just a short walk from the Sheraton hotel. It was air conditioned with high ceilings brightly lit. Even though it was the middle of day, it was still busy. I thought the ice coffee at 6.00 was steep. But then again food is expensive in California. I am going to return.

    Ask the Community - Philz Coffee

    Do they have a drive through?

    No drive through, but you can alleys order ahead of time and pick up

    Is indoor seating available?

    yes!

    Do they have a secure internet connection with a WiFi password?? I can't work from Starbucks because their network is not secured with a pw. It's a VPN issue with my work laptop.

    You should call the store directly and talk to a manager. Honestly this place would be a nightmare to work at, it's INSANELY CROWDED with college students and it's so crazy loud.

    Do they sell bucket coffee for group?

    Food was amazing. Nice robust flavor from the béarnaise…read moresauce on the Salmon Benedict. Waiter was very pleasant. He asked what kind of side of toast did I want with my Benedict, I responded with "oh? There's toast included? Maybe Rye?" And he said "oh no, my apologies, it doesn't come with toast". I must have had a really sad look on my face when I said "oh ok". because he said "you know what, I'll throw in a side of complimentary toast". Anyways, great little niche close to the ocean. Nice light cool breeze. Street Parking was easy to find

They have patio seating outside so you can soak in the sun, people watch, and enjoy a nice meal. I lovedddd the caramelized Tahitian vanilla French toast! It had a little crunch from the caramelization of the vanilla on the French toast. We added the strawberry, blueberry, and chantilly cream to it. Perfect blend of sweet, tangy, fluffy, with a little crunch. Definitely a good sweet treat to start the day. I got a spinach, Swiss cheese, bacon omelet. The hash browns were pretty good! Crunchy, salty, and went well with the eggs. I was hoping for more of a coffee flavor in the white mocha. They make the whipped cream from scratch. The mocha was mid. I would say this place is a lil over a 4 star place. The beach bowl is an açaí bowl on top of Greek yogurt. I thought it was a little too tangy for my taste. I think having either the yogurt or açaí bowl works better than mixing the two.

The staff is friendly, anything you buy looks gorgeous and the inside is immaculate. Ambience 9/10 Lunar New Year Croissant Described as a croissant filled with sesame and almond paste, this is a good but not great croissant. It has the layers, it has the chew, but it's no better than a croissant you would get at a number of other bakeries in the area. But those other bakeries are charging $4-7 instead of $10! The almond and sesame flavors were both very subtle and make me believe there is just a very minimal amount used in the recipe. Would not recommend even as a chewy over crispy croissant guy. 5/10 Creme brûlée latte Pretty much what I wanted without description. Creamy, noticeable but not overpowering vanilla flavor, and a lovely burnt topping for bitter balance. The coffee still comes through meaning this is a well crafted latte, not a dessert. This one actually comes at a pretty decent price too. 8/10 Yuzu & lime tart Their take on meringue pie is composed of a graham crust, yuzu mousse, and a meringue topper with a circle of lemon curd gel. To my taste, there is too much sweet on this plate, needing some balance of tart. But the textures of each component were on point: fluffy meringue, thick lemon gel, dense crust, and substantial yet airy mousse. Torching the meringue at home added a bitter element which I think made the sweetness more palatable. Would have liked the citrus to be more present. 5/10. All in all I would choose other sweets shops at most shopping centers than return here but for drinks this is a pretty good option.
