To the Philz Coffee Team, I wanted to take a moment to write something that I should have written a long time ago. I have been a loyal Philz customer for many years, going all the way back to the original Philz location on 24th and Folsom when Mr. Phil was there. I remember the warmth, the passion, the feeling of community, and the way coffee was made with genuine care. Over the years, I visited many different Philz locations, and while they were all good in their own way, nothing ever truly compared to that original feeling. Until I started coming to the Philz on 17th. For over two years now, this location has become part of my daily life and honestly, part of my heart. Every single person there has treated me with such kindness and warmth that walking through those doors feels like seeing family. They know my name. They know my coffee. Before I even say anything, they already know: a Tesora, light cream, extra foamy, sweetened sugar. But what makes this place special is not just the coffee -- it is the people behind it. You can genuinely feel the passion they have for what they do. No matter how early the morning is, they greet people with smiles, warmth, patience, and energy. In a world where so many places feel rushed or impersonal, this team has created something rare: a place where customers feel seen, welcomed, and appreciated. There have been days when I walked in tired, stressed, and simply being there changed my mood. That may sound small to some people, but it matters. Human kindness matters. I know many customers probably leave reviews, but I specifically wanted corporate to know how exceptional this team truly is. They are carrying on the original spirit that made people fall in love with Philz Coffee in the first place. Please recognize and appreciate this team for the incredible work they do every day. They are not just serving coffee -- they are creating community, connection, and comfort for people like me. Thank you for keeping that original Philz spirit alive. With gratitude, Sonia read more

Finally a holiday drink I can get behind! I highly recommend their Tiramisu drink IF you like Tiramisu. It really is spot on. Notes of that chocolate and coffee mixed together with creamy notes. This is a winner. I tried it with a small, but next time I'm getting a large! read more

I stopped here after church and just to mention this location is one of my favorites. The location is near a whole foods and play ground so you would see families with their children and dogs come here often. Today I ordered the yuzu lemon tea which was so refreshing and has become a go to order. I also got the jalapeno cheese bagel which was scrumptious! The bagel was so soft and bready and was given a generous amount of cream cheese. I ordered the new caramel coconut drink for my mom to go and she adored it. I never am disappointed by Philz's menu. read more

No doubt my favorite barista team in SF. Sweet, engaging and very welcoming. Coffee is always perfect, and when not they will gladly perfect it for me. The environment is perfect for getting some work done with a tasty pastry to keep you pushing. read more

5 stars because this Philz has great atmosphere for chatting, doing work, and just existing. They are also always reliable for good Philz coffee :) I've spent many hours in this Phil simply chatting with friends or doing work on my laptop. The WiFi is not very reliable and it can be very loud for meetings though. Otherwise, this spot is great! Staff is always nice and the people who come by always have cute dogs :) read more

THE BEST COFFEE I had that day! The coffee is incredibly tasty exactly what I needed. What made the experience stand out, though was the service. A huge shoutout to the barista, Alexana! She was super friendly, genuinely helpful after we ordered in making sure we had everything we needed and really quick to make the coffee. It's rare to find speed and quality service. I'll always go by here when in the area. read more

Madelyn made my decaf coffee. It was the opposite of everything I asked for: not creamy, not rosy. It was so watered down and she even said It was watered down decaf but how was the ice and everything else so diluted? I would not come back here. Yes, this is what it looked like when i got it. Horrible. read more

Loved Philz, the fresh pour overs, delicious. It's gone downhill though, no direct contact with the baristas. Not surprised as they were sold to a corporate entity. Used to be neighborhood favorite. So sad. read more

Mazie and Madelyn made our coffees this morning. Great energy out of both of them and good laughs. Great way to start the day!

Order ahead and still 10-15+ mins late, daily. Inconsistent taste like many Philz, but this one in particular, rolling the dice on taste.

Food: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 2/5 Vibe: - service is very slow, expect to spend 30 minutes waiting even if there is no line. If there is a line go somewhere else Food: - coffee here is my favorite, I recommend the mint mojito coffee read more

Stopped by for a quick coffee fix while I was in the area and wanted to try Philz as I had not tried it before. I'm not a huge coffee person, but I wanted some caffeine in me after a long morning. As you probably know, the drink options here are pretty unusual compared to other coffee shops. I had no clue what to order, but luckily it wasn't busy in the store (which was spacious and nicely decorated). Shoutout to Sarah who was working when I went in. Sarah was super cool and walked me through some recommendations since I was taking forever to decide. I didn't feel rushed at all, and I had all my questions answered about different drinks, flavors, customizations, etc. I ultimately got the recommended Philtered Soul Train (I think that's what it was called). I really liked the hazelnut flavor, and I was able to add some sweetness since I like my coffee sweet. Overall, it was a pleasant experience stopping by this Philz. Really appreciated the great customer service and ambiance! read more

I've been to many different Philz during the years but this particular location was by far the best. It's not about the coffee here because all Philz serves some really good coffee. This place stands out because of its customer service. Lamar was especially accommodating with my large order that seem to change in an instant but he was super friendly especially during a holiday where many people would rather be chilling at home. The staff here really rocks and I would recommend this Philz to anyone looking for a genuine type of customer service. read more

Madelyn was amazing! Great energy and the drinks she made were delicious. Thanks so much for your service.

they just serve drip coffee, no cappuccino or lattes. If that's all you're looking for, I guess its OK

I literally just left there after spending 10 minutes at the ordering counter where every single employee ignored me. Several were making coffee and one was dusting around the room. I think this place is just a little too hip for its own good. Being lazy is fine I guess unless you're like to have a little service. Waaay too many options for fabulous coffee elsewhere to ever go back here. read more

This review was a long time coming. I used to come more here often when my son was going to school nearby. The employees are always friendly and my coffee is consistently on time when ordered online and fantastic. I had a particularly nice experience today, I figured I take a moment to write up a review. read more

From inaccurate wait times, distracted baristas, all the way to using expired creamer. I've been going to Philz for almost 3-4 years now and have never been to one where I've never been satisfied with my drink, not once...worth taking the extra five minutes to go tot he Chase center location. Do better... read more

** The following review reflects my experience prior to and DURING the shelter-in-place order currently in effect. ** Philz is Philz, ain't it? I noticed they appropriately closed when the shelter-in-place order took place, though Starbucks kept providing takeout. To be perfectly honest, Starbucks doesn't excite me enough for me to roll the dice and get a Venti to go. But a large Silken Splendor from Philz is something else entirely (photo: https://bit.ly/2x4H3GZ). It had been so long since I had one that I finally downloaded the app to pick one up at this location with my face mask and disposable gloves on. After wiping down the cup with a Wet One, I isolated myself on the abandoned bleachers of nearby Jackson Park to sip it down. What a contrast to my prior experience where I noticed the plethora of local art in this space and the little fountains in the courtyard it shares with Milkbomb. Welcome to the new world. COFFEE - 5 stars...ahhh AMBIANCE - n/a on today's visit but 4 stars in its previous incarnation SERVICE - 4.5 stars...always attentive TOTAL - 5 stars...yes, Philz is indeed Philz RELATED - Looking for coffee in the city?

Service has gone down. They do not care about customers or honor their posted hours. I use to be a patron here daily some times multiple times a day as I live near by however I will probably never go back and just find a local coffee shop. Also, everyone who visits and I take here hates it so maybe I was the only one who liked it lmao anyway yea I won't be coming here. Or any Philz for that matter. They won't care about this review just the same as they don't care about having quality customer service. read more

I honestly don't like mint too much, but Philz's mint mojito iced coffee always tastes so good. Getting this drink here reminded me of how much I enjoy it! It's my favorite because it actually tastes similar to an actual mojito and there's fresh mint inside, which is a nice touch. My boyfriend got the Philtered Soul, which was okay, but missed the mark for us since it was a bit too watery. He's gotten the drink before though and enjoyed it, so it may have just been a lack of consistency this time. Overall, this location has friendly and quick service with lots of tables for people to chat and do work. read more

Philz Coffee - Mint Mojito Iced Coffee and Philtered Soul - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I love their mint mojito and rose latte. This location had both a bathroom and outlets, perfect to come do some work.

Love philz coffee!!!!! Ordered the rosé and philtered soul the house way (sweet and creamy). For size comparison the rosé is a large and the philtered soul is a medium. Service was fast and staff are always welcoming and patient. This location is very clean and cute. Has a few seats inside and outside. If you expect to do some work here I would recommend early opening hours because it could get busy later in the day. Otherwise this location is chill and a great place to get your coffee! read more

Last Wednesday, December 4th, started like any other day. I was already running late for work and needed a quick cup of coffee. From the moment I entered Philz, around 2 pm, I felt immediately comforted and at home, like I had been employed there in a past life. I made my way to the counter, doing my best to absorb the positivity radiating from the walls. I was greeted by perhaps the friendliest barista I've ever encountered! She took my order with a smile and a twinkle in her eye. When my drink was ready, barely 2 minutes after I ordered, I was stunned by the aroma before I could even take a sip. Good job Phil, and good job to all of your incredibly hard working employees, especially the kind barista who ensured I had an amazing experience!! Five stars doesn't feel like enough !!!! read more

Service, was quick. Everyone was courteous and my order was perfect as always. I am glad I was introduced to Philz.... read more

Great food and Coffee is fresh. But if restaurants require shirts for customers, why not for employees. Isn't there a health requirement? It was less than 65 degrees outside. read more

Philz never disappoints. Excellent coffee and pastries. Breakfast burritos are great--wish they were bigger though. Love this location in particular--great service and friendly people inside. read more

Went in this Morning to get some coffee and first and foremost I want to say the Ambiance of the place is very well pleasing and very nice. But the service not to well the moment I walked in I got the impression I was getting judged and looked at very differently than other inside of the store including employees and police officers who has headquarters across the street and obviously regulars to the place. My attire was dressed differently from others in which I should not be judged based off of my attire we should do a better job at that. After my order was called I told the employees handling my order thank you not once but twice and no response but just looking I think we all should be treated equally thank you! read more

Love this Philz location in Potrero Hill! It can be really hard to drive to other Philz locations in the city and actually sit down but this area isn't too busy. I was able to park right outside, get some work done, and get myself a silken splendor while I was at it! The staff is super friendly like you would expect any other Philz location. Love that I didn't have to park super far away and wonder if my car was safe or not. read more

Philz Coffee - a city street at sunset - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

They charge the same price for tea as for coffee. I paid $5 and change for a cup of hot water with mint leaves. Those leaves probably cost about ten percent of the cost of a cup's worth of coffee beans. Restaurants with table service don't charge this much to serve a cup of tea in a pot and a ceramic cup that they have to wash. Philz tea is a rip off. And then there is the odd practice of them putting the honey in for you rather than letting the consumer control the amount that is added. read more

First time at this location, they seem to clean up and close before the posted time. And send customers away.

The service here was odd. The staff ignored us for a while before taking our order and they give off judgy vibes. My experience at the civic center is way better as the staff there really prioritizes getting your drink exactly how you want it and it's a super welcoming vibe. There is also not enough seating or enough outlets. It's a clean space and still good coffee, but the overall ambiance is off and not as friendly as other locations in the city. read more

I came all the way to San Francisco to try this coffee! (Okay, not exactly, I could have tried it in DC but hadn't had the opportunity yet) After trying the Mint Mojito, I understand what my Philz Coffee devotee friends were talking about. I opted for creamy but not sweet and received an iced coffee with some foam. It was creamy, had ice cubes and a sprig of mint leaves. So pretty and delicious I'm not a fan of artificial sweeteners or flavors and so I was a big fan of this drink! It was lightly minty and very creamy. And even though it was a little chilly outside, the Mint Mojito was not too cold of a drink to enjoy while walking around the city. I guess I'll have to venture to the Philz closer to my house so I can try more of their delicious coffee drinks! read more

I absolutely loved this store. This store was spacious, clean and provided a good amount of tables and seats. But the best part about this store that it had this beautiful, nice open seating area which it shared with other stores where you'd find trees, plants and a water fountain so people could sit there and enjoy San Francisco's fresh air. This store also had a nice clean restroom. read more

Jesse made my coffee SO good this morning it actually made my day.

This is probably the 4th or 5th location i've been to over the years. Philz has been my go-to coffee shop any time i come up to SF (thanks to my cousin for getting our entire family hooked on this place) This was conveniently located like 1-2 miles away from my lunch place (Dumpling Time) so we had come here for a quick pick-up drink for the day. Decently sized location off of 17th and De Haro, there was 3 people working on drinks at the time when i came (early afternoon on a Saturday). One of my favorites to get is Tesora which has caramel, nutty flavor. Great hot or cold. As it was quite a warm day, i opt'ed for the Iced Tesora Mocha which added a great dark chocolate flavor as well. Coincidentally, 2 other friends got the same exact thing but in a smaller size. Option wise, i opt'ed for my usual "sweet and creamy". Even though i say sweet, its not that sweet, especially compared to like boba/milk tea places. Drinks were made quickly and we were on our way. Another convenient, great Philz location read more

Best service ever here. I've been staying in Potrero for two weeks and have been coming every day. The staff here is exceptional. Always such a warm welcome from Jared. And Lamar is also the sweetest. Michael is a total doll and always asks how I am. I can't rave about these boys enough. I also love Brantley, Brandon and Molly who have made my drinks all week. So excited for the summer sweet harmony drink. If you like the mint mojito and cinnamon you have to order this. I'd like to think it was made for me haha. Love you Philz!!! read more

Amazing coffee and super friendly staff. Beans are ground to order and steeped seconds before you get your cup. Barista had us try the coffee to make sure it was perfect. It was! read more
