I may be marrying a "Chris", but Philz has my heart! The hype is real! From the service, to the product, Philz is everything I expected. I did not try my traditional go-to because their newest caramel and cardamom concoction was calling my name! I will be honest, the employee taking my order was not the friendliest, but was super sweet to my coworker. The employee crafting my order, on the other hand, was very accommodating. I can tell this location does a lot of business, so be prepared to wait. However, it's refreshing to see that they do so with inclusivity and a smile. It's a bit out of the way from my daily office walk, BUT I have a gut feeling, I'll be willing to make the trec next year...what's a few more steps for a better brew. read more

Philz Coffee is a San Francisco-born chain that has expanded into Southern California, but the original SF locations still have a special charm that the newer locations in SoCal don't quite capture. This Philz in the Financial District feel more like neighborhood gathering spots, with thoughtful touches like hosting community events and even having a little "library" where you can pick up a book to read while enjoying your coffee. I also like seeing several people came inside with their dogs. My personal favorites are the Mint Mojito and the Rose--both are unique, refreshing, and very much what makes Philz stand out from the typical coffee chain. I like their service, too! read more

Staff are friendly and we got our drinks fast. Ordered the honey haze light and creamy, and it was actually perfect; love that it was made with oat milk as well. Area is kind of sketchy because downtown but the shop itself is great with lots of seating. read more

The employees are rude as heck! If you don't like your job get a new one I know many people looking to take your exact position. The woman with the nasty joker green Afro had the worst nonchalant I'm here for a check attitude. I asked for the bathroom code as a paying customer and that heifer told me to ask the employees actually doing something. They act like customer service wasn't apart of the deal upon being hired. Just gross, and if you look it seems to be a consistent thing amongst your reviews . Hire people with better attitudes before you start losing business. read more

Tried to order on app. I thought it was easy, but it was not. You can easily order, but the drink is not ready as promised. I was disappointed on the order back up and that by visual I think other people were waiting too. Couldn't ask a question about my order because the coffee maker was talking to another worker about something not work related. It's the morning rush . We all want to grab coffee and go. read more

I enjoyed my coffee and it tasted great! The staff were very polite and I received my drink quickly after ordering in person. My coffee was made just the way I wanted it.

I can't believe how rude these employees are. No greeting to my hello, ordered a medium hot, they charged me for a large and then when it was up it came up iced and the eye roll I got from the barista for double checking if it was mine was unreal. I don't need this energy to start my day. Teach your employees to smile or at least not scowl actively at customers. Never coming back to this pretentious place. read more

Tried the iced tiramisu drink. It looked great, but the taste was very weak, more like flavored water than a rich coffee. As a tiramisu lover, I expected a stronger, creamier flavor, so it was disappointing read more

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

Solid spot for a coffee. It's a simple menu, choose your coffee type, choose your milk, choose any sweetness, you're done. It's all pour over so they let the coffee shine. I got the Philz Wonderbar with oat milk. You have to wait a sec while they make it, but it's worth it. They also have suggestions of favorites if you are looking for a more complicated drink. Line wasn't that long when we went at 9:15 am on a Monday. People were friendly, coffee is good, what more do you want? read more

I was excited to try the new drink before heading into work. Busier than usual and the other orders seemed to be mainly for the coconut caramel and butterscotch cold brews! Really good although a touch more sea salt would've made it perfect read more

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

Philz is the absolute GOAT. It's really a pick up to go spot, but the food and drinks are phenomenal. Iced mojito is my go-to - life does not get much better than that. The breakfast burritos are all very solid as well. Highly recommended. read more

This is my favorite Philz location! Baristas are really friendly and they always know how to get my drink correctly. I can be particular about how I like my coffee, but they're always patient especially when I make my adjustments. I always get the honey Haze, but recently nutty caramel Nirvana has been a hit for me! Sadly it's seasonal but im looking forward to trying their new seasonal drinks. I always do a mobile order and it comes out right every time. read more

I am not sure about this place. Music is way loud. The servers are so young. We can't hear each other. I ordered a large. They charged me a large coffee but gave me a small. Then I asked the cashier and he said I asked for small. Anyway, this is a one-time thing. Too bad, Starbucks are all closed in the area. read more

$12.10 for a coffee and breakfast pastry feels a tad excessive, even for San Francisco! As does $13.58 for a coffee and small breakfast burrito. But the food and drink are yummy, so I guess that's how they get away with it. Bacon Onion Cheese Pretzel Croissant: Tastes more like a croissant than a pretzel, with only a slight pretzel-y taste on the outside. Though a lot going on in this croissant! The browned cheese tastes great. And bacon is always welcome in anything. A very solid breakfast choice. Pork Sausage & Egg Burrito: I appreciated that the burrito was moist inside. Lots of melted cheese and maybe some sauce, though can't be sure. The potatoes tasted freshly cut and cooked. The sausage was in big chunks and full of flavor. Only downside is that it was kinda small, like 1/3 the size of a breakfast burrito you could get at a taqueria. Mocha Tesora: A lot going on in this coffee! A pretty nice dark roast mixed with actual chocolate syrup, for an intense drink. Not perfectly mixed, so a little bit sweeter when you're almost done with it. Perfect if you want both a caffeine buzz and a sugar jolt. Though could be overwhelming if you pair it with a sweet pastry. Honey Haze: Got the default, which used oat milk. Which is kinda weird in concept since there's honey in this drink, so it's already not vegan. It tasted a little lighter than regular iced coffee, but oddly still creamy. Better than soy milk or almond milk for sure. Though next time I may go with the regular cow milk. The coffee itself wasn't too sweet and kind of a light roast. Overall, I preferred the mocha tesora more. read more

Philz Coffee is a fancy premium coffee shop. I had their large dark roast coffee $6. The coffee is brewed one cup at a time via a small paper filter like how Blue Bottle does it. I prefer my coffee straight up, no cream or sugar. Their dark roast, "Jacob's Wonderebar" had a unique smokey sweet bitter taste. It was very good coffee. Service was excellent. By the way, large coffee prices around Fidi are: Starbucks $3.45, Peet's $4 and Philz $6. read more

First time at this Philz and it gets the job done. Lots of foot traffic especially during lunchtime, so I can see why their waiting area is larger than their seating areas. But, maybe this is set up that way because it's more of a commuter coffee spot than chill and hang. Albeit great hip hop music was playing, the music was so loud and couldn't think but more so bust a move! My go to coffee is the philtered soul houseway - very creamy and very sweet - but this time it was made less sweet and had more of a coffee taste which I was good with. Need a quick coffee on the go before heading to your next meeting, this is the spot. Save some time and order ahead. read more

I had to pair my Philz Coffee with a Noah's Bagel. I mean it's San Fran. The blend I got was ok. The service was great and polite. Not crowded but I think it's bc of the day and time I went. My sis said they are know for their iced peppermint coffee. Sadly which I did not take a pic of. Now... I generally only drink hot coffee. Even in the middle of a hot day in Hawaii. So I didn't expect to order an ice coffee in San Fran which was freezing to me in July... but that iced peppermint coffee is bomb. BOMB. It's not peppermint flavoring. It's fresh peppermint muddled in. Get this coffee! read more

Philz Coffee - A pairing of sorts - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been so intrigued by the concept of a mint mojito coffee drink so I was excited to try it when we went to SF last month! Some friends told me that it's pretty strong that I won't be able to sleep haha but I guess they didn't know I'm kind of a coffee addict. I can drink a lot of coffee and when I do, I like it strong. After all, I'm from Seattle and I had 2.5 of grad school to get through! While the mint mojito drink was good, it was just not as strong as I'd hoped or thought it would be. Nonetheless, it was a cool drink! I also got the philtered soul with oat milk and honey. I like that it didn't taste too sweet, though I wish it were a bit stronger. read more

Poor customer service experience. I was in the restroom when they called my order. Upon returning to pick up my coffee, I looked around trying to locate it. A barista with curly hair noticed me searching and asked 'Can I help you?' with a dismissive tone. When I inquired if a particular drink was mine, they responded curtly with 'I called that out a while ago.' This response was unnecessary. A simple 'yes' would have resolved the situation immediately. I shouldn't need to explain that customers may briefly step away for legitimate reasons after placing their order. This is Philz Coffee, not kindergarten read more

Philz is one of my favorite coffee places to go to, and I'm always lucky to have it nearby my workplace. I tend to order through the app for mobile pick-up, and they always have my order early or on time. This is located near Market street between the First Republic Bank - it's just right around the corner. Typically now with DTSF, there aren't many people working in the office due to WFH, but you can always see Philz being crowded! I have to say that if you're not used to drinking coffee, this coffee is pretty strong and will get you wired. I absolutely love the taste of their coffee and appreciate that there are different roasts + specialty drinks they have on their menu. If you're not a coffee person, there is tea as well! My favorite go-to orders are the Philtered Soul, Ecstatic Iced Coffee, and Dancing Water. Due to an issue with their factory right now, they won't have all of your favorites available. Coffee ranges from $4-6 depending on what you get, as well as the pastries here too. The only con I have is that they shortened their food options too - they got rid of the quiche and power bowls that they used to have. Otherwise, this is a great location to be at and they always make my drinks very well. read more

First time in and didn't realize they only do pour-overs. Asked for a Latte and got nothing but attitude. Not interested in giving them another try. read more

First of all...huge fan of the food items at Philz. Definitely a step above your average coffee place. Love love the savory items. The coffee is also great ...unique combinations that help get you out of your coffee rut! Great combos WiFi dark chocolate, cherries and way too many to list. Made with care and always with an amazing coffee base. This location is also pretty cool for a co worker coffee date ...and decent patio seating area. The decor is modern and minimalist. Always clean. The service is good and the folks are fast...maybe a bit grumpy and diffident at times..but it's all goods read more

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

Mobile pick up service is one of the best ideas ever! As a commuter between two transit systems, it's nice to have a Philz conveniently located between both. I place my order ahead, hop off to retrieve it and hop right back on transit to continue my commute. This Philz location is conveniently located less than half a block from the first 38/38R stop from Salesforce Transit. The bus runs every 6 min so my wait is minimal for the next bus and zero wait for my coffee since it's ready when I arrive. My cup of joe is always hot, fresh and exactly how I requested it. This location is definitely one of my go tos for convenience, service, consistency and wait time. read more

I don't have anything bad to say about Philz. I love the coffee and the people are always friendly in my experience. The app is great and lets you customize your drink AND schedule the time you're planning to be there. Combine that with Citymapper and you can make a great estimate of your arrival time to have hot and fresh coffee waiting for you when you arrive. I don't think there's a hot coffee on the menu that I don't like... and they've got everything from dark to light roasts. If you're trying to decide, they're usually very helpful and ask what you usually enjoy in order to make a suggestion. Typically, start with Tesora as a middle ground and add cream/sugar according to your tastes. Then move darker/lighter blends, sweeter/creamier or different sweetness and milk options. If you like chocolate, the mocha Tesora is quite good. And, the Gingersnap is good if you like iced coffee. Note: no espresso drinks here: it is ALL brewed coffee... brewed one cup at a time and awesome. read more

Excellent service and coffee at this location (in the tourist-less Market street area). My usual, when-in-Philzzzz-area, "Jacob's" (Jacobs Wonderbar) was fantastic as prepared just for me. A great sunny morning for an easy mile walk from the Hilton. read more

Philz Coffee - Large Jacob's Wonderbar at Philzzzz. Note less people in the scene. What a great day! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is an amazing coffee store! I am biased because I left my bag overnight by accident and they graciously kept it and kept me updated until I could pick it back up. However you will find what is not unique to my experience is their STELLAR attitudes and friendliness, service comes first to them and it shows. As an ex-barista I can attest that my drink was also made to perfection and their traditional Kouign Amann (pastry) is a must try! Strong recommend! read more

Philz Coffee - Honey Haze Oat Milk Creation - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Excited to be visiting my home in SF after moving to Portland two years ago. My itinerary included grabbing a cup from Philz each morning. Hoping one day they will expand and set up shop in Portland. I love this coffee. read more

If you've been to Philz before, this is a very solid location. Very clean, usually busy, with friendly staff. Definitely try to Philtered Soul if you haven't already! It's in the middle of the Financial District, pretty close to the Montgomery BART stop, which is the one I use to get to work every day. The only thing I would warn about this location is the time it takes to make your drink. This is a very popular Philz location, and there are always a lot of people around ordering and online ordering. i would recommend ordering through the app at least 10 minutes before you intend on getting there, to get your coffee in a timely manner. I have sometimes waited upwards of 15 minutes. This is understandable due to the amount of customers, but definitely something you should be aware of. read more

Oh, Phillip, what I would give to have you open up a location near me. I am not much of a straight coffee person outside of a mocha, but this might be my favorite coffee ever. I first experienced Philz in LA over a year ago and was super stoked to get it again on a trip to SF to see a Charles P. Thompson lecture. We almost missed it on this trip because my gf got it mixed up with the lesser misspelled P-named coffee shop, Peets. Thankfully, we were in this area the next day and got a chance to swing by before breakfast in Chinatown. I had the Ambrosia, Coffee of the Gods during this visit and it was just what I needed. I think my all time favorite is still Silken Splendor, though. read more

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

Bay Area cult favorite with a loyal following far and wide. The first Philz opened in 2003 in SF's Mission District. Also shelves assorted fruits, offers light breakfast cravings, open-faced toasts and sandwiches with Mediterranean flavors of labneh cheese and spices. It is a unique warm coffee establishment to try with expansions of multiple locations. Unlike Peets, customers do not order at the register instead are greeted by a welcoming barista who can steer customers through their expansive menu suggesting specialty drinks and customized beverages. Fresh beans are then ground while waiting. There are no condiment stand(s) with cocoa powder, triple milk options or sweeteners as Philz staff mixes all behind the counter. Contactless until required payment. For those who are time-sensitive commuters, there is a Philz app for speedy service as the app stores favorite drinks and photos of baristas. Upon arrival, there is an alphabetical pickup station for reserved orders. Be alert as single orders can get lost and jumbled amid larger group orders. The following three purchases below were from two different visits to this location. 1) Blueberry Scone. Crisp buttery lemony exterior with jammy blueberries. Light, soft center. Tender crumb not brittle dry. Touch of cinnamon sugar topping. Pastry perfection. 2) Ice Mint Mojito. Muddled fresh mint served the "house way" sweet and creamy. Strong minty mouthwash feel as mint leaves masked it's medium-bodied coffee (Ecstatic Beans) flavor. I counted 8 big sprigs of mint still attached by its stems in my small (12oz) cup. Poorly prepared by an unseasoned barista. 3) Tantalizing Turkish (not pictured). Bold as in compressed espresso with strong bitter notes. Intensely rich as subtle notes of cardamom remains after each sip. Wonderful in its beautiful dark blend, my go-to favorite is medium honey with medium cream! I come for a unique experience and appreciate quality as each location has a strong WiFi that allows me to linger and savor each sip one-cup-at-a-time. Vaccination proof required. read more

Really wanted to like this location but.. as out of towners, we didn't have the BEST experience like we have in all the other locations we have been to. My bf and I didn't know we could order our beans of choice along with our specialised drink... we might have made changes to our order once or twice before finalising it and while the cashier said she was ok with us changing our order, the eye roll wasn't appreciated. Didn't experience this at any of the other Philz location we've tried around California so it was a bit off putting and surprising. Despite that, we still tipped. Drinks did not disappoint. Loved our Iced Mint Mojito and jacob's wonderbar. just wish they have this on the east coast! read more

We ordered a mint mojito and a rose, both are iced. Both drinks tasted nasty. Unlike the other Phil's locations I go to. Not just the drinks were nasty, we politely talked to the barista there and told him it didn't taste right, he was not friendly at all when he remade our drinks. When he was done, we apologized for the trouble and thanked him. He didn't even say anything but gave us the dirty look. Never going to go back to his Philz location. read more

Really like their honey haze coffee like 6$ for it so not super expensive. Cute inside and has a little free Li ready I like to browse.

This location is always busy. I try to order ahead on the app and sometimes I still have to wait. No biggie. My coffee is always hot and super tasty. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. I love to buy coffee for my house there because it seems fresher than from a grocery store. read more

I love Philz but I definitely think this location is always a hit or miss. I stopped by the other day for a afternoon pick me up after my lunch and it's probably my fault for not checking my order and for asking for too much but I ordered a medium ecstatic, extra sweet and creamy, light ice, with honey drizzle on top. I was given an ecstatic with no cream and medium honey. I also should have taken a sip of it right away because I was already on my way back to work when I tried it and noticed it wasn't the correct order. So I ended up tossing it and stopping by the other Philz location at Embarcadero Center, which is closer to my job, and ordered a new drink there. read more

Honestly , this place should put some other coffee shops out of business. I'm not sure how Starbucks or Peet's can survive in the vicinity of Philz. This is real excellent coffee. Perfect beans. Perfectly roasted. And then brewed individually for you after you order. Perfectly. Fresh. Never pre made. Now if you like to add all sorts of stuff to your hot, caffeinated beverage and you don't really drink coffee for the taste, or you don't have the experienced tastebuds that come with being a 3rd generation coffee snob and you can't differentiate some of the best things tastewise that coffee can offer, then you may not appreciate this place. But if you have a discerning palate and appreciate the finer things in life (read coffee) then you will come to love this place after the first delicious sip. Enjoy. read more

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

Convenient location, decently large interior though not that much seating. I imagine it is mostly a grab & go place. Staff was patient and friendly. Bathroom requires a code, ask a staff member to get it. They had a snarky sign out front saying "come in and try our new pumpkin spice latte, just kidding, get our winter bliss", which made me laugh. They even had a small bowl of free chocolates! I did end up getting the winter bliss -- there wasn't anyone in line before us so our drinks came up very quickly. read more
