I was excited to see Philz open up in Pasadena as I only ventured to them in Northern California. I always stick with the tried 'N' true mint mojito and it's delicious! I've been there a couple times now and have had different baristas and they are incredibly friendly. There is a decent amount of seating both inside and out, and they also provide free wifi! read more

The awesome batista recommended a cool Manhattan (light roast) today since I am not a regular coffee drinker...it was amazing!!! Thank you for the great service and the caffeine that got me thru a long work day! read more

Doesn't get much better than this! My only wish is that they wouldn't serve the coffee so unbelievably hot.

The coffee here is no fluff, but that's a good thing. They're not in the biz of covering up poorly roasted beans with syrups and fancy concoctions (I know what large corporation you're thinking about)! Good quality coffee at a fair price. Great customer service, too read more

I was so excited to find a Philz in town when I moved here. I'm addicted to the Mint Mojito and their hot brewed coffee - haven't had a bad cup yet. The first month they were open, I did have some inconsistent drinks. But that seems to be resolved now. Everything here is just so good, that's why it's so expensive. Brewing coffee at home from Philz beans is like 10x better than using any other type of bean. read more

I love their different coffee flavors. I always try to try a new one each time I visit. My trick is adding a hint of brown sugar. It makes the darkest roast taste amazing. My parents live out of state and they are always asking for a bag of the Turkish. Philz is amazing. read more

this was my second time ever coming to a Philz coffee shop, first at this location. so i wasn't very familiar with the menu and just ordered an iced latte. the cashier that helped me was super polite and explained to me how they didn't do lattes like a normal coffee shop, and instead gave me great recommendations for something similar to a latte. she even complimented my tote bag which totally made my day! definitely love the customer service here and will be returning ! read more

I've been meaning to write a review for quite sometime now. I wouldn't necessarily consider myself a snob of coffee but I'm not overly fond of "coffee" shops that always dilute the coffee with sugar or milk or any other flavoring to mask the taste of the coffee. Which, let's face it, is probably the only way most people would frequent these establishments. I guess that would make me a purist. Regardless, I was picking some items for a co-worker who doesn't drink coffee necessarily but when he does, he goes for the Mint Mohito specifically and only from Philz. I decided that this was a good opportunity to see if they qualify as a true coffee shop, well...to my standards anyway, I felt like an adjudicator and it was mildly satisfying, I won't lie. They use a pour over method for their coffee and each individual drink is made exactly that way which allows more control of saturation of the grounds and truly brings out the flavor of the coffee. Regardless of all the other mixed drinks and coffee fusions that I haven't tried, even the most discerning of critics I have brought these drinks to have had nothing but positive reactions. So I won't comment on that too much. What can I say, I had and have no complaints really. I want to have complaints because I'm a complainer, but I can't in fairness. Every person who has served me, since that first day I was in that store was nothing short of exemplary; As though they were there to make sure your experience was nothing short thereof! I can complain about the parking, being that there's not enough and you have to take out a mortgage just to pay for parking but I've yet to find anywhere else in Pasadena that's anything different...well okay it's not that expensive, but I'm not paying to park and that point I will stubbornly never stray from. Parking should always be free. Pardon my tangent! The servers are truly nothing short of amazing. They are nothing if not accommodating, professional and just simply interactive. I know that sounds like a very broad nonsensical attribute but I've more often then not always experience people trying to usher you out of the establishment as soon as the transaction is complete. It's so nice to have a conversion with someone and they genuinely seem to listen to you and there is a dialogue that you more often find amongst close acquaintances, not the intimate type of conversation but the average mundane conversations where you feel like a true human being talking to another human being with all the nuances of sarcasm, subtext as well as relatability. Now, I'm horrible with remembering names but I recently when back to get a name of one of the servers. Now this isn't to single out just one person because as I mentioned before, not a single person who has served me there was short of spectacular. But I need to put a name to at least one of the faces...Claire (this better be the "correct" spelling of her name, anything else would be egregiously wrong). I have to say I commend you so much for the time and care you took with me. I was pushy and annoying and you just kept a youthful smile on your face even with my aggravating demands and ridiculous requests as well as manage to maintain a thoughtful ranging conversation throughout. Even when I didn't mention I wanted my coffee hot and not iced which I blamed you for but you so graciously made me one and didn't even charge me for the drink. I'm such a bastard. My hats off to you young lady. You are sometimes silly but a consummate professional and I wouldn't have it any other way. The silliness doesn't even detract from your craft. I hope I covered everything, but I might have forgotten to mention that my coffee was heartwarming, simply heartwarming. read more

Honestly, I'll never have a bad thing to say about Philz. By far, my favorite coffee till this day.

Place is adorable, amazing variety of blends, good quality coffee and friendly staff. I wanted something they typically don't offer and the barista made me something very similar - it was delish! Cute cute coffee spot read more

Always visit this location every time I go to San Francisco. They know how to do coffee and their pastries are outstanding. I've tried to make their coffee at home. Don't get me wrong, it's very good but it's not like get it at the store. read more

I feel extremely disappointed by the quality of their coffee. A coffeehouse that roasts their own beans is a godsend, but their pour over leaves much to be desired. I remember it having a sickly creamy tang that is more at home with pod coffee instead of a real pour over. If it wasn't for the atmosphere which I liked, I'd give it a one star. read more

Starting with the negatives. Expensive and takes a little while. The staff add the cream and sugar for you, although I prefer to do that. And the coffees are all blends, and they don't tell or know the origins of the coffees. I think single origin coffees are, in the long run, probably more interesting since they can vary more. That said, now on to the positives. The staff are friendly and helpful. I've had the Canopy of Heaven, New Manhattan and Tesoro blends. The barista said that Phil worked on Tesoro for 7 years - it is quite good, but I lean towards lighter roasts. The main positive: the coffees are flavorful and aromatic - great coffee. read more

Love love love. Open layout, communal table + outside sitting area, cool merch. Coffee is sooo good and employees are real nice. Happy about this new Pasadena location! read more

Great service, great presentation and very tasty coffee. First experience in this place was really wonderful!

Love the Ice Mojito coffee, Mint are so fresh. Barista are very friendly and would love to custom made your drink.

Nice location but with very limited seatings, as in most Philz Coffees I've seen. Friendly service and quite a selection of different beans. You can tell the barista how much cream & sugar you want in the coffee. read more

First time here--wasn't sure what to get. Saw mint mojito was popular but not the biggest fan of mint so I opted for the ginger snap and my friend tried mojito. Mine did not disappoint! Great ambiance, barista was great--my friend didn't like the mojito either so he made her a ginger snap too. Will def come back! I tried tipping on card but they didn't have that capability so that is my only complaint--if I can tip on card, Harrison deserved a tip! I'll get you next time! read more

Great coffee, open space, a very nice outdoor seating area, totally love the place and highly recommend it! Have I mentioned staff are super friendly and cool? Super fast wifi. Parking is a challenge tho, but apart from that, great coffee shop. read more

Love this place! Drinks and coffees are so well made and the staff is always awesome and helpful. The Pasadena location is so cute and fun, would highly recommend! read more

I don't usually post things unless I feel like it needs to be done. With that said I felt the need to post on this one. Well the customer service was not the best! I walked in as a customer mind you and the barista helping was very rude! I don't know why exactly but he made us feel like shit cause we didn't know exactly how to order instead of helping us. I'm in customer service so if you are unhappy maybe don't work there! read more

I needed something new and tried the new rosè drink and it wasn't my favorite. An iced oatmeal cookie made by my girl Brie, 100% winner! I asked what she liked and took her word for it. Did not steer me wrong! My new favorite drink made by my fave barista! This staff is rad! Forever going to her for my drinks! read more

Love the service at this location and the place is always so charming to enjoy a cup of coffee there.

Always good vibes cool peeps and great coffee !!!like it here more than Starbucks with better coffee how can you go wrong read more

Philz Coffee - Made by jilian - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Checked out Philz yesterday. I've been to every SF location + the Santa Monica location. The Pasadena location is really beautiful, the staff has the signature Philz enthusiasm & the Ecstatic Iced Coffee was delicious, flavorful & strong as usual. read more

We ordered two coffees. The pleasant young woman was asking me questions about what I wanted, across the counter, and I could barely hear her because of all the racket in the store. Paying took too much time. The whole process of getting a cup of coffee is just too much, too slow. That said, the coffee was good. Pleasant surroundings in the patio area, places to sit. Lid didn't fit the cup well, had a major spill. (Maybe my fault.) Long table with probably a dozen people working at laptops, etc. I gave 3 stars which means A-OK. read more

So glad to see this place opened up in our neighborhood. We used to drive all the way to Santa Monica for it! Always great coffee, amazing staff, and relaxing atmosphere! Way to go Philz! Welcome to Pasadena! read more

I have been here by chance. In both times I tried tea (Istanbul and chai). The coffee smelled good. The ambiance is great especially if you sit outside since the music was too loud for my taste. They also serve good butter croissant. On the second day I tried the spinach and feta croissant. The spinach was however slightly burned. The staff were pleasant and smiley. read more

I'm so excited to have a Philz coffee closer to home! Great courtyard to hang out in front of the place. Awesome iced mint mojito coffee. Always get it sweet and creamy cuz it's worth the extra calories!!! Super friendly staff, yummy treats and a laid back vibe. Just lovely read more

First time here to Philz Coffee. The service was awesome and explained their coffee. Also asked about their coffee beans.

It is with great regret that I have to revise my rating for the Pasadena Philz Coffee to a lower rating. The reason for this is lack of consistency. I have been a regular customer since opening week and every visit feels a bit like a gamble. My usual order is a Tesora Philz' way (medium cream/medium sugar). About half the time, the coffee is on point with that characteristic buttery, rich texture and caramel-like flavor.​ But other times, the coffee comes out either under-extracted, resulting in a sour background taste, or with too little or too much cream and sugar. The creme and sugar I can understand, since every barista may have a different idea of what's a medium amount. But I can't say the same for under-extracted​ coffee. It's a very disappointing moment when you realize that your $5 has been wasted. In the back of my mind, I worry every time whether my coffee will be a good one or not, and that really shouldn't be the case. I realize the barista always tells you to taste to make sure its perfect, but that first sip is usually mostly froth and it can be hard to tell the coffee is off until you're further into your drink and you've already left the store. In general, I'm still a fan of Philz, but I think that the Pasadena location needs to improve in its consistency. read more

Favorite Coffee place. Service is amazing. Always a treat at this place. There has been a few hiccups here and there and everyone is always quick and efficient in resolving it. I'm always impressed with how knowledgeable and approachable each staff is. Shared this place with co-workers, and everyone is loving Philz. read more

Really delicous coffee/espresso concoctions. I believe I got some sort of mint mojito cold brew and it was just downright delightful. My friend got some sort of flavored latte which was equally delicious. Service was a little awkward but ya know, people have their moments. Definitely will hit up this spot whenever I'm in the area. read more

Philz serves incredible coffee. Like out of this world, I didn't know coffee could taste this good, love at first sip coffee. Honestly, try out their brews and then try more. The location is good and service is great too ofc but the coffee is where it's at. 10/10 would recommend to friend read more

I just came in here for my first time as I was waiting for Drybar to open and I just have to say, WOW!! I'm in love! With the customer service, the cleanliness, and the coffee!!! I got the mint mojito iced coffee, and it's damn near close to the best thing I've ever put in my mouth! You can tell the baristas really love their jobs too! The energy is on point in there, I will totally be back!! read more

Ever since my sister recommended the mint mojito iced coffee house way, I have been hooked! Love, love, love this drink.

I went in today to grab a quick snack, the cold case listed the yogurt as $1.75 but I was charged &2.95, I told the cashier who said "that's weird, it's ringing up as $2.95 here" she didn't walk over to check the sign or anything and didn't offer to adjust the price to match the advertised price listed on their display. I also had a chai tea that tasted super watered down. Overall, not a great experience :( read more

What a refreshing post jury duty pick me up! Celebrating my dismissal with a Mint Mojito Iced Coffee! I've been wanting to try Philz for a while and was in the area so I decided to stop in. I'm totally blown away by the attentive baristas, love that you can "try before you buy" essentially. Such friendly and kind staff, can't wait to stop back in and try more! read more

Greeting First, I would like to thanks Philz and his staff for the great coffee and service. Second, the cafe is really clean and well managed and great atmosphere and I usually have an amazing time there. Thirdly, the staff is super friendly and well trained; they smile all the time even when they are really busy (which makes me jealous because they can handle stress) Finally, the quality of coffee and the variate of great choices that make me enjoy my time there. To sum up, great coffee and fantastic service thank you Daniel, Andy, Melissa, Julian, County (I hope I spell that correct), Holly and Sam. Mohammed read more

The BEST Coffee in Pasadena! I came in today and James served me the best hot coffee today! Thank you for your awesome hospitality. You made my day! I highly recommend this place for the serious coffee drinker. read more
