    Austin Z.

    If I could be honest with y'all, there's only two words that could describe this Philz location in the hills of Oakland: mixed thoughts. This Philz Coffee is very much a vibe, and they make the best drinks, but its customer service is very questionable to say otherwise. While I've had good experiences here before in terms of guest interaction, there are times where I don't feel welcome (despite their poster saying that everyone is treated equal in the establishment). The recent time that I went to order a tiramisu latte from this location, I was met with glares from not only the customers, but also from the staff as well. I was told to wait in line when there was clearly nothing big going on (no long lines, no online delivery orders constantly popping off on the receipt dash). Mind you, I had to wait 10 minutes to ORDER a cup of coffee -- and I was the only person standing in line, while the baristas were chatting it up while making it coffee. Please make it make sense. The tiramisu latte that was made was honestly questionable -- while I had asked for oat milk, they put whole milk in there instead. The details really matter a lot to me, and I had wished they heeded my preference over just making a drink. There was a lot of attitude thrown at not just me, but with other customers alike who were after me as well. The people taking orders were very not nice and unprofessional, and it didn't really align with what I had in mind. Thinking about the future, I am questioning whether or not I will come to this location again for my coffee.

    Philz Coffee has finally come home so to speak! What began with one small location in the Mission District of San Francisco that has now expanded to multiple locations through the state of California and even all the way out to the metropolitan Chicago area, Philz Coffee has provided uniquely crafted coffee drinks including their signature iced drinks for almost twenty-five years. With their second location in Oakland, this time in the Lakeshore neighborhood along Lakeshore Avenue, which replaced a long standing Starbucks Coffee, Philz and their father and son ownership Phil and Jacob have put down roots in the city where they now roast and distribute their highly prized beans. With this newest location in the East Bay, the neighborhood seems revitalized with more people walking to and from their new storefront to various nearby points in between. What brought me and a friend here was the fact that I had a quick appointment in the neighborhood for my car nearby and while it was being serviced, we decided to walk down Lakeshore Avenue to check out Philz Coffee's newest location. With a freshly painted exterior and warm interior with soft lighting and the same elongated counter that once greeted Starbucks customers for so many decades, this Philz has a little less natural light that other locations, but makes up for it with the generous amount of comfortable seating both inside and outside of their storefront. They weren't too busy with customers in line when my friend and I arrived, as many people were sitting on their phones and laptops, so ordering was quick and service by their large workforce was fairly easy. What I like about Philz Coffee, is that their menu is so accessible with a number of seasonal drinks on their menu, in addition to their traditional favorites such as their Iced Mint Mojito and Cold Brew. What intrigued me on their menu this visit, was their New & Caramely drinks on their menu, and of those two drinks being offered, their Caramel Cardamom Karma, of which is served both hot and iced. I ordered a medium size drink which came with cold brew, caramel, cardamom oat milk and salt. My friend ordered a medium size of their Iced Coffee Rosé, which was topped with creamy rose cream. It wouldn't take too long for our drink order to be called for pickup, and both drinks were lushly handcrafted and super sippable as we sat in two of their comfy chairs with an end table waiting for our other errand to be accomplished. The key here with iced drinks in warm weather is to request your beverages be with "light ice" as they usually fill it up to the brim with ice which in turn gives you less beverage. Our total bill was $13.50 before gratuity is added in which is on the higher side, but well worth the price tag thanks to these two lovely beverages. Now that we've been to their Oakland location, I just can't wait to try out their other new locations in the East Bay. With their customized coffee blends, made from sustainably sourced green beans sourced globally, and roasted right there in Oakland, Philz Coffee goal of making a really good cup of coffee has not only been achieved but surpassed all expectations of what is possible when goals are achieved!

    Hadn't been to Philz in ages and had a few staple teas that I enjoyed primarily the Istanbul Treat. Decided to stop in the Lakeshore location as it sides to be a Starbucks. There is plenty of seating tables available should one choose to get some work done. The tea selection has been greatly diminished but the Fresh Chai was still available so I gave it a try. They no longer offer whole milk so I opted for the crème and honey for sweetener. So back to the Fresh Chai, the caffeine kick was still there and mixed to my liking. It was good to try again but I think my tea preferences are more matcha based.

    This is one of my favorite coffee shops to visit when I'm in the bay, hands down. I love the drinks here, as well as the energy. I've almost never had a grumpy or rude employee here. The mint mojito is the classic drink they're known for, and it's killer every time. This previous visit I tried the oatmeal cookie cold brew, as well as the holiday winter bliss cold brew. Both were great. One of my absolute favorite things about this coffee shop is that you can change your milk, sweetness level, and coffee blend. This allows your coffee to be perfectly you no matter what you're craving.

    A nice new spot but it seems like they are still ironing out the kinks with service and training. There were no orders ahead of me and it took about 15 minutes to get my order, there were multiple baristas around so not sure where the delay came from

    Ok so I've never been to a Phil's, but they opened a location near me so I couldn't wait to check it out! They're totally different from the coffee shops in the area. After you order, they scoop fresh coffee beans, grind it, and do a pour over just for your cup. They do way more than just charge you $5 and pour you coffee that was brewed over an hour ago, so I think it's more than worth it. Can't wait to come back!

I also liked the silog which came with very crispy pork, super flavorful garlic rice, a refreshing salad, and a citrusy dipping sauce that gave it a unique twist. Whatever you order, make sure to add their hot sauce! It definitely elevated each dish! The ambiance of the place was kind of boho chic and it was relatively empty at around 12:30pm on a Thursday. Service was nice, our waitress was prompt and paid a good amount of attention to us. I feel like they are a bit understaffed though, but that might be due to business being slower than usual during the time we went. Overall, I would recommend this spot to people look for Filipino food with a twist in the area. Would love to come back myself to try their lumpia, sticky wings, or desserts!

We ordered the wicked buns, Saigon give you wings, garlic noodle and the bo luc lac. The food was out very quickly. Wicked Buns: The wicked buns were quite good. Truly cannot go wrong with some fried bao buns! Chicken Wings: We really enjoyed the chicken wings as well. The fish sauce gives the wings a nice sweetness and makes them quite addicting. Garlic Noodles: The garlic noodles had a nice char flavor to it. We could see them set it on fire from the bar, although we felt that the garlic noodles could have had a bit more salt and garlic in them. The shrimp also tasted frozen but they were still good. Bo Luc Lac: We enjoyed the bo luc lac as well, it was cooked well and quite tender. It was very flavorful to the point it made us wish we had ordered the dirty rice with it. Cocktails: For drinks I asked the bartender what he recommended and offered to make me something. It wasn't off-menu, but he made the Pillow Talks which had gin, calamansi and egg white in it. It had a nice flavor profile and balance and creaminess to the drink. I also ordered the Pandanmonium which is a pandan old fashioned which I really enjoyed. The drinks were quite fairly priced as well which I really appreciated. Overall, I think the portion sizes can be a little small for the price, but the food is delicious and great. The drinks are also great and I would definitely come back for them!

I thought that the chicken tasted like a better, higher quality chipotle chicken. The ingredients were so fresh tasting, and the jalapeño lime dressing was so good. I also wanted to give their desserts a try, so we went with the dark chocolate chip cookie. This was the most "gluten free" tasting thing out of everything we got. The texture of the cookie was unlike normal cookies, but that didn't bother us much. The cookie itself was more on the "less-sweet" side, and was packed with rich dark chocolate. While not exactly my thing, it's worth a try for true dark chocolate lovers! Overall, I was so impressed by kitava.

But you pay for what you get and the quality is better than that of fast food.

While this visit was in between the lunch and dinner rush, unfortunately I think they are understaffed because at the time we sat down there was only 1 person who was busing tables and taking orders. As a result, it took a while for them to be able to stop by our table and provide water, take our order, etc. There was quite a long wait between sitting down to ordering to actually receiving our food. By the time we had actually received our food, almost an hour had passed. While we were waiting, a few other servers eventually joined, but service was still pretty bare for us and we never received refills on water or plates to eat off of when we received our food. I understand that staffing and a backup in the kitchen are out of the staff's control, but it would've definitely helped for us to know in advance how long to expect to wait to align our expectations and arrange our plans for the day. Would advise giving customers a quick heads up/warning because that on its own would've made a big difference. As for the actual food, we ordered the mac trio with elote mac, chicken pot pie mac, and kogi short rib mac (for an extra fee). The elote mac was the best and most flavorful, the short rib mac was okay but not amazing or worth the extra money, and the chicken pot pie mac was very bland/flavorless and didn't have much chicken in it. The food didn't feel like it warranted the wait time and because of that I would not return.

    This place might have become my favorite fast-casual burger joint in Oakland…read more Since my first review, I've enjoyed their food three more times -- in person once and DoorDash twice. And it's been satisfying and well worth it all three times. I recommend both dining in and delivery. You cannot go wrong with their double burger. The smashed patties are perfectly cooked and seasoned. The supporting elements are quality and executed spot-on each time: the cheese, grilled onions, and mayo. It's a perfect fast casual burger. I also recently tried the Chopped Beef burger and dang it was amazing. The hearty meat and cheese the and buttery bread texture hit hard. This will be another go-to and I recommend it. For sides I've gotten tator tots, regular fries, and season fries. All fantastic and they're generous with the portions. HOWEVER -- you've gotta get the seasoned fries. Addictive and finger-licking amazing. When dining in staff is always friendly. Area's not too busy and you'll always find parking easily down a side street. And price wise it honestly feels like a steal for me given the care and quality and pure satisfaction. Works for me though -- I'm going to keep ordering from this place. Cannot recommend this gem of a burger joint enough. Fantastic seasoning and execution, solid prices, and absolutely satisfying every time.

    All of it... yes! Typical Bay Area prices for delicious smash burgers, fries, and onion rings…read more Service is always great and the vibes are fun/casual. Parking in the ohgane lot next is free if you're there for oh g burger.

    Stopped by Grand Lake Kitchen for brunch this sunny weekend and it really hit the spot. The food…read morewas delicious and it felt like the perfect kind of meal for a relaxed weekend morning. I ordered the turkey club and it was honestly huge. You can see in the photo how big it is compared to my hand. It was stacked and super satisfying, the kind of sandwich that definitely fills you up. We also shared a deviled egg and some fried zucchini to start, which were great little bites before the main dish. The zucchini was crispy and light, and the deviled egg was simple but really good. I paired everything with a mocha latte that was perfectly balanced and honestly superb. Overall it was a ten out of ten brunch moment. Between the sunny weather, good coffee, and really satisfying food, it was exactly what we were looking for. Definitely one of those spots I would come back to for brunch again.

    This was me and my husband's first time at the restaurant and the food here was excellent…read moreeverything was very good and flavorful. I gave it to stars because the service was really bad. Our waitress took very long to even acknowledge us, didn't person herself to be very friendly, and lacked any attentiveness to us as customers. We had to ask other people for things like refills on our drinks, condiments, etc. She didn't ever really try to check to see how things were going after the food was served and we had to ask someone else to pay. Unfortunately considering this experience my husband doesn't want to go back and I hate that for us because the food was really good.
