Whenever I'm in the Bay Area, my favorite place to fill up on coffee is Philz Coffee--and not just because I love a pun. It's not your conventional coffee order experience. Forget about that fancy cafe code. At Philz, you order in modern English! Large, Medium, or Small Creamy, Medium or Light Cream Sweet, Medium or Light Sugar As a first-timer, you've gotta try their signature drink, the Mint Mojito (iced or hot). The menu boasts a variety of brews from dark to light. If you've got a bright palette like me, check out the New Manhattan, or even a Philharmonic. It's more than a cuppa joe--it's a cuppa Philz! read more

It's been a couple of years since I last had Philz and missed it so much! This location has very calm and friendly vibes. There are people studying and the baristas are very kind. I got the iced coffee rosé (my go-to order) and it was just as great as I remembered it. read more

If youre looking for your coffee staple, this is it. Philz is lovely no matter what location you go to. Their brews are quality and consistent, their drinks are unique without creating choice overload, and they always have seating to work or read. I LOVE that they always encourage you to try it in case you want them to make alterations or remake it all together. My go to is the mint mojito which they make with a specialty cold brew, in house mint syrup and in house cream. I also get it light sweet. Such a fresh drink. In case you're tired of going to blue bottle or Starbucks, I'd give Philz a try. read more

Kind workers who really outwardly show they love what they do. Clean atmosphere. Tables for you to sit, chill and eat. Fresh baked goods are available. I throughly enjoyed my short time here. Unfortunately they cannot give out change for larger bills but that's okay I just tipped them extra well. I appreciate y'all. read more

Philz Coffee in the Financial District is a nice place to stop into when you're in the area and want something comforting and familiar. The space has a relaxed, welcoming feel, making it a good option for a quick break during a busy day. The coffee is made to order and consistently good, but I was also pleasantly surprised by the food options. They offer a solid selection of pastries and light bites that pair well with the coffee, making it an easy spot to grab something small to eat along with your drink. Philz Coffee delivers a quality experience with good coffee, approachable food options, and a comfortable atmosphere. While it's not an everyday stop for me, it's a reliable choice when you're in the area and want something simple. read more

I'm a big Philz fan--like loyal loyal. I love the coffee, I love the people, I love the whole experience... just not this location. I ordered my usual iced Mocha Tesora through the app while waiting in the car. My boyfriend went in to pick it up and ended up waiting around 10 minutes. No greeting, no "hey we'll get that started," nothing. He stood at the pickup area, and no one was making drinks. If he didn't speak up, the coffee would've never been made. There were zero customers inside, so it's not like they were slammed. Just super unbothered energy. He even noticed an Asian girl behind the counter literally just on her phone. No hustle, no urgency. And the kicker? The drink wasn't even iced. Like... the ONE thing I needed it to be. Philz, I still love you--but this location needs a little quality control and a whole lot of energy. read more

the iced coffee rose (large, $7.10) was decent with light sweetness and creaminess, it didn't taste too watery. I also tried the pork sausage and egg burrito ($6.95), which was quite creamy and filling. I only waited 5 minutes for both food and drink read more

Good coffee, but stop guilt-tripping people at the tip screen. I like the coffee here -- it's solid. But let's talk about tipping. A $6 cup of coffee already more than covers the cost of beans, water, and a splash of cream. That price includes the service. So no, I don't feel obligated to tack on another 15-20% every time. If I tip a dollar, I'm doing it out of goodwill, not obligation. And if there's no "thank you" or just a blank stare in return? That's not a great look. Tipping is voluntary -- not something customers owe you. Acting like we do comes off as entitled. Again, coffee's great. Just wishing the vibe matched the quality. read more

this location can be super hit or miss. sometimes my drinks are too watery and sometimes they're great

I told the guy on the counter that i got a drink from them yesterday that tasted way off and that i threw it away! First off he didn't even apologize!! Secondly, didn't offer any sort of free drink or even a discount! Charged me full price for another drink! Yea, amazing customer service (NOT)!!! The very least you can do is to apologize but even that you couldn't do!! read more

I bought a pesto chicken sandwich here for lunch and it was one of the worst sandwiches I've ever had. The flavor of the chicken and the pesto was bland and the chicken was very cold (like refrigerator cold) even though the rest of the sandwich was warm. read more

I usually get the Mint Mojito, but I was in the mood to try something new. I described the type of coffee that I usually get at other places, and she was able to handcraft a drink that I liked! It usually comes iced, but they made it hot for me, since it was drizzling that morning. I don't remember every detail of the drink, but I know it had oat milk in it as well as honey. It was really good. It's cute inside. read more

Quick and tasty coffee shop, workers are all very friendly. I've been coming here for over a year now and they definitely have some consistency issues. Depending on your barista, your drink will have different levels of sweetness and taste. Most of the time they get my order right, but today they gave me a hot instead of ice, I also ordered a light cream and this looks and tastes like regular. They have some problems here, but I'll still order from them just because it's better than Starbucks. read more

I came here today and it was a super pleasant experience! I ordered and asked about sweetener substitutions and Aianna answered all my questions and even gave me suggestions based on what I said my preferences are! She was so patient with me, and I really appreciated that; the girl who made our group's drinks was also incredibly fast at it, and friendly. The store is clean and stocked; with books to read on the side too. There's plenty of seating and a lot of room, so it doesn't feel packed at all. I ended up ordering a hot ether, made creamy, and with two packets of Splenda. It was the best coffee I've ever had!! I'm super happy that I found a coffee shop that is able to cater to my preferences and I can't wait to come again! read more

Philz Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

This Philz was the only one open on a Sunday morning, so I headed over there before going to the Convention Center. It's about a 15 minute walk to Moscone, which was great. I had the mint coffee, classic style, and it was just as good as I remember it being. I also grabbed a breakfast burrito for breakfast and a Danish for later. Both were solid. This is at no fault of the cafe, and they tried to diffuse the situation as best that they could, but a homeless man did venture into the shop and start harassing patrons, especially those that did not respond to his requests for money. It's really sad to see this happening all over the city. read more

Used their app to order and asked for the cheese to be removed from the sandwich. This hasn't been a problem before but today they told me they have no way to remove the cheese from the sandwich because it was premade. It's not that hard to take the cheese off, and they were able to do this for me before. If you don't allow special requests maybe don't have that as an option on the app? Just a thought. read more

The service was welcoming. The new holiday flavor was good a recommendation. Haven't not been here in a while and forget that they make sure to ask if your coffee needs any tweaks. read more

This review is for Royce. ROYCE I HOPE YOURE WELL! Royce makes a mean cup of coffee! I'm super picky about coffee and will throw it away if it's not good. He makes it bold and creamy and delicious! This location is the best Philz location I've been to! The service, location, and coffee tastes better. I love getting the Philtered Soul Cold Brew, sweet and creamy, with cinnamon. And if you go to Happy Lemon nearby, get salted cheese to add to the drink. You're welcome. read more

I ordered vanilla latte medium size this morning around 11Am and they gave me something like pumpkin spice . There was also no sticker on my cup. And also I was the only customer at that moment. I don't remember the guy's name, but, he's so impolite and look down on me like I don't know how to order. Whatever a customer knows or doesn't know how to order, he has no right to behave like this. I usually drink Starbucks and now I'm sure I'll choose Starbucks for next times too. Bad experience with Philz!!! read more

AMAZING! This location really hit the spot after landing in from the east coast. The baristas take their time to brew fresh coffee per drink. We were super pleased! There's plenty of street parking right outside. read more

I hadn't been to this location before. I ordered via the app and picked up in the store without any problems. Service was fast and friendly and the shop was clean. The coffee was standard Philz: hot and flavorful. I'm not sure how many other shops I walked past to get to this one, but it was at least 5... for me, Philz is worth the trip. read more

For the location of being in the financial district of San Francisco, I must say, this is probably a lovely getaway for someone to get some coffee during business hours! My wife and I came to San Francisco for a little getaway. We had a hankering for a midday coffee and were close to this Philz coffee. Upon entering, you are welcomed by spaaaaaace!!! There is so much space in here it's amazing!! I personally don't particularly fancy crowded spaces, and this Philz coffee being in the middle of one of the most busy cities in the world has a lot of space in it and I absolutely LOVE it!!! Service like most Philz was very welcoming and hip. The place is lavishly decorated with memorabilia of local lore. They have loads of seating space inside for you to set up a laptop, enjoy a book, or even just wait for your cup of delicious coffee. Oh, did I not mention how good the coffee is?! It honestly speaks for itself! Try a cream gingersnap or tesora, or a minty mojito, you are in for a treat! Overall; prime location, great coffee, and space in a bustling city! read more

Well done Jabers! It all started about 17 years ago on 24th Street in the Mission District of San Francisco when Phil Jaber started Philz Coffee. Three years later, Phil's Son, Jacob took over as the CEO and lead the efforts to expand. We San Franciscan managed to keep Philz a secret for years, but the cat got of the bag when in 2015 this family business got the funding it needed to go global. Philz coffee is "slow" coffee, so if you are on the run and need a cup in 30 seconds, this is not the right option for you! But if you are looking for a tasty, strong and kick ass cup of coffee made by friendly and smiling faces who make sure your cup is filled with drips of exotic brew, then we are talking! We all have our favorites when it comes to coffee, but I am dark roast kind of guy and I can tell you that all the dark roast options on Philz menu are delicious. You may decide one is better suited for a specific time of the day, but taste wise, two thumbs up! read more

Mint coffeee!?! I was skeptical but yes yes yes service was adorable and helpful , clean atmosphere with lots of seating to chill munch and sip read more

Wasted $5 because their lids don't fit their cups! I'm spilling coffee everywhere. SMH.

It's always time for Philz but especially on a gloomy Friday fall morning. This location is by far one of the cleanest, spacious, and quickest ones I've been to in the city. Not too heavy foot traffic so fairly easy to get in and out or just lounge around read more

I'd give ZERO stars if I can. RUDE baristas with an attitude fighting with each other and directing that towards customers. We ordered our coffees on a Sunday (not at all busy) and waited for more than 20 mins. None of the baristas were making it and when we followed up, the barista guy lied to us saying someone else took it. When he started to make it, he was banging everything in frustration!!! Never coming back!. read more

Philz Coffee Ratings: 4.5/5 Food: 4.5/5 - First time trying Philz and loved it. Did not disappoint me at all. I ordered the Jacob's Wonderbar under the dark & bold category. It's great. Tasted refreshing and chocolatey with a hint of fruit. I also added a splash of almond milk at no additional cost. Amazing coffee I would say for a chain coffee shop. Ambiance: 4.25/5 - Cute little cafe, super nice and interesting decorations indoor with lots of seatings available, so a good place to work or chill. The outdoor seatings are nice too. Masks are no longer required. Price: 4.75/5 - I got a large coffee and the order came up be to around $5.50 after tax. I thought it was a great price in SF and for good and high quality coffee. Definitely a steal. Service: 4.5/5 - The workers here are friendly and fast service. Provided recommendations and explained what cardamom was and let us smell a sample of it. Good experience ordering coffee here. BLUF: A big fan of their coffee and service, definitely will return to try out some of the other popular drinks too. read more

Staff was nice, restaurant was cute but the rose coffee tasted weird and the breakfasts were all the frozen reheat in microwave type. Not my jam. read more

So this is my situation right now: drank Philz at 2PM, currently 1:30 AM and I still can't sleep. Back story: Because I attended a concert on a Tuesday night, I was sleepy by noon on Wednesday so I made the wise decision to get coffee at 2PM. Also, I rarely drink coffee (maybe once every four months??). Decided to try the Philtered Soul (hazelnut, chocolate) but tbh I didn't think Philz was necessarily better than your standard coffee shops (again, I'm a coffee noob). My palette for distinguishing flavors in coffee obviously needs work. Aside from the flavor though, the caffeine kicked in. Ohhhh did it kick in at 3PM... 4PM... allllll the way until now. It's amazing how much sleep I'm losing. Truly. 3 stars for the taste. 5 stars for the coffee doing its job. Well played Philz.... too....well........ read more

I LOVE Philz coffee. It's one of the only coffees I order that is a guaranteed pick-me-up (this stuff is STRONG). I enjoy studying here, and have slowly been working through the signatures menus. If you want something milder/more plain, I recommend the Tesora. I'm also a fan of the mint mojito if you want something with a refreshing aftertaste. I also recently tried an off-menu drink called the oatmeal cookie and it is amazing! 10/10 read more

Philz coffee is delicious and my favorite. I don't drink coffee often but Philz I'll do any day. I'm not an adventurous Philz coffee drinker. I like ecstatic and mint mojito. They are very similar. Very approachable and easy to drink, especially if you get it the Philz way: sweet and creamy. This location is awesome! Personally, I think everyone is really kind and always happy to fix your drink if it's not up to par. Besides the amazing service, clean facilities, and inviting atmosphere, the 5 stars is for the VEGAN PUMPKIN SLICE. I can't even explain how good this is, and it's vegan! It's so moist and soft and has a touch of pumpkin flavor. It's not overly sweet, not at all dry, and tastes so so good, without leaving me feeling guilty. It's got this wonderful bounce to it and perfectly soft to touch. Given it's subtle flavors, I'd imagine it'll go great with any of the coffees. My new favorite snack! read more

This location is brighter (large windows to both Beale and Folsom streets; paint schemes; lighting) and therefore seemed nicer (cleaner) than many Philz locations. The spaciousness and outdoor seating is also a plus. Order-taking is quick even when they're busy, and it does get quite busy at times. Some days getting your drink is quick and other days not so much. You can order ahead for pick-up through Caviar, and they will have their own app eventually/soon. The closest Philz to my work so it gets an extra star. read more

Coffee was good (as usual for Philz) cinnamon roll was ok (standard bakery fare), but pretty confident the egg & bacon burrito was potato and egg with zero bacon. The real issue was the general condition of the facility: had to bus trash from previous customer in order to have a place to sit, the door on the unisex restroom does not lock (or even close securely), the toilet was filthy, and the faucet in the basin was literally falling off. I'll get my coffee at a different place in future. read more

LOVE the mint mojito coffee, it's my favorite! I'm so impressed that Philz is able to offer so many flavorful unique coffees without adding sugary syrups. The staff is super friendly. You walk right up to your barista to order. They are flexible on milks with no extra charge. The cashier is trusting and you pay after you order to expedite your wait. I'm a fan or the process, the coffee, and the people. Highly recommend. read more

My favorite Philz Coffee location in the city! It's a pleasant 4-block walk from my work and why I like this location so much is it's a bit out of the way from the main hustle and bustle. Every time I've come there's never been longer than a 10 minute line. The workers here are all friendly. I also like that they have outdoor seating which is perfect on a sunny day. My go-to drinks are the iced philtered soul and ecstatic. Sweet and creamy is so good though sometimes it feels like I'm drinking sugar and cream mainly so I'll try to tone it down a bit. But Philz is my favorite coffee chain with quality drinks that actually keep you awake when you need that caffeine push! read more
