Coffee and ambience is great, but coffee orders are always 10m behind the app check in time. If you are running late or need to be timely, you'll wait every time. I add 10min to the estimated time when I purchase coffee. There is a major need for improvement in this area. read more

I have been wanted to hang here and work. Music great, service great , they have WiFi and even wrote down the complicated bathroom code. And I had a delicious cold brew with stevia and a twice baked piña colada croissant. read more

This review is for their bake good. I have been here a few time picking up some of their pastries from the To Good To Go app, where you can get a variety of pastries for a cheap price at the end of the day when they don't sell out. Each one of the plate is bag and price is $4.75 plus tax on the TGTG app. Their almond croissant is to die for, that is one of my favorites. All the pastries I have gotten, they were all great!!! read more

3.5 stars Been here a couple times but it's always so inconsistent . Today both my coffees were so sweet when I asked for medium cream and light (sugar)sweetness on both of them . One I made a mistake on but left in the notes for light sweetness but she acknowledged I may have made a mistake . Yet the coffee tasted like I was drinking sugar coffee on both of my orders . It's disappointing and I won't be back to this location . The baked goods is delish though read more

Philz coffee is a lovely franchise. I normally get the mint mojito iced coffee. I'm looking forward to trying new flavors since this location is more accessible to me. Everything they serve seems to be high quality. And the NY style cheddar jalapeño bagel is so fire! Although I'm glad to have one near by, the location itself is odd to me. There is no parking. There is a VERY SMALL Sprouts parking lot and down the street is a metered lot. I hope that doesn't impact the stores ability to stay open. The only downside to Philz in general, is that they are slow. I've visited several locations and they all seem to be the same. Philz is a very chill relaxed environment. So please have patience! If you are in a rush, do yourself a favor and order ahead. read more

I stopped into the newly opened Philz Coffee on 14th St & Callan Avenue. There is a Sprouts parking garage nearby, in addition to metered street parking. The interior is spacious and large. Several tables and benches to sit at. Two separate unisex restrooms. The service was very friendly, courteous, and polite. Yuzu Twist Lemon Tea: a refreshing, limited-time iced beverage combining cold-brewed black tea, lemonade, and vibrant citrus yuzu with fresh mint (4/5). This is one of my favorites here. The TGTG Surprise Bag contained... Cherry Almond Coffee Cake - seasonal item (4/5). Wow, just as I hoped it would be. I'd get this again! It also had a Plain Croissant, Kouign Amann, Pumpkin Loaf, & Blueberry Muffin. Come check them out. read more

It's Saturday, and this seems to be part of my routine now. I stopped in to get my usual, the rose latte, but after looking at the overhead menu, I noticed they were offering a peanut butter cup cold brew. That was the choice of the day, and I only asked that they add extra rose syrup. And by extra, I mean add the rose syrup and more rose syrup because rose syrup doesn't come with this particular drink. It's also one of the reasons I enjoy coming here for coffee instead of other local coffee shops. They always invite you to sip and savor at the counter, so if you don't like it, they can remake it to your liking. But this time she said, "Go ahead and drink it down a bit so I can add more of the strawberry syrup you like so much." See you next Saturday. read more

Philz Coffee opened recently on the ground floor of Centro Callan in a corner commercial space. Brand new space with specialized decor reminiscent of Trader Joe's. Philz has entered private equity ownership since my last visit in Castro Valley. Menu has expanded from its core coffee blends. Offerings (darker/medium/lighter blends, cookies, croissants, bagels, sandwiches, burritos, pastries, muffins, tea, breakfast, coffee beans, merch.. Parking is nonexistent except for paid meters, or in shopping center across the street. Sprouts may not be an option. Seating is some tables and benches inside or tables outside. Inside seating is tight, not a lot of space. Ordering was quick as line was only 1 person. Waiting for drinks 6 minutes. Much better than 30 minutes in C.V. Sips: Tantalizing Turkish (med. 16 oz. 5.80) -didn't know this was a rebrand of Aromatic Arabic Blend 5.30) I had before. Tastes different. Initially harsh, it mellowed out later to be a smoother easy sipping but not bold sip. -new formula: cardamon, mint, aromatic Arabic coffee blend. Something missing? Haven't been to a Starbucks for a decade+. Imagine Philz is emanating Star for good or.... 4 stars: semi-worthy:ymmv. Service: excellent. Quantity: reasonable Qualtiy: unknown-probably lower than before. Maybe awhile before Philz is visited again. read more

Waited patiently for Philz to open at this location, so I was ready before 8am to head over to their grand opening! The vibe at 7:30am was bussin' and they had more than enough staff and management working hard to take care of all customers in the house! Seeing tables and chairs full of people, including people focused on their laptops and people laughing, and seeing people going in and out of the door made it even more exciting to see their business THRIVING ON DAY ONE! My mom and I enjoyed our fav Kouign-amann pastry and I ordered my iced mint mojito from our takeout orders. All baked goods were fully stocked, nonstop drinks being prepped, and an abundance of samples as their grand opening treats, made this Philz location worth the wait! Thank you to the fantastic, organized, and super friendly and energetic Philz team here! read more

Philz Coffee just soft opened this new location and it already feels like a win! The location is perfect and fits the area really well. The coffee is exactly what you expect from Philz. Smooth, flavorful, and made with care. No surprises here, which is a good thing. Cozy seating, relaxed vibe, and plenty of spots where you can lounge with a cup or get a little work done. Strong start for this location. I can already see it becoming a regular stop. read more

Philz Coffee - raspberry mint iced tea... - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - San Leandro, California

I love Philz. I am so glad they have this location in San Leandro now. But I have to say, the last several times I have come to this location have been very disappointing. The baristas are nice, but they seem to need more training. One day I order a Philz mint mojito, creamy but lightly sweet. When I go to drink it, its very sweet. I didnt have time for them to remake it, especially as it already took them a long time to make the drink in the first place. The very next day, I came back and ordered the same thing. Minto Mojito, creamy, lightly sweet, and this time with extra mint. It took forever to make. When it was finally ready, it was actually lightly sweetened this time correctly, but now it wasn't creamy at all and there was no extra mint that I asked for. All that said to just demonstrate how inconsistent this location has been compared to my experience at other philz locations. I don't know who is at fault, the person ringing up the drinks or the persons making them, but the drinks could use some more consistency. read more

Philz Coffee - Mint mojito - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - San Leandro, California

I had the tiramisu cold brew today and it as good as usual. Husband had the mint mojito and he didn't tell till much later that it wasn't up to par. It tasted rather bland compared to the CV and Fremont location. I am a little confused about parking because the adjacent garage states that it's for Sprouts BUT there is a door that goes from Philz to the garage...so can we park there without getting towed? If we can't park there, then it's all metered street parking which isn't too appealing for a $6 coffee. Overall the inside has more seating than CV and Fremont. Mobile order is highly recommended. read more

Forgot to take pics but Philz is always a good idea! I do prefer espresso based drinks but it's nice to sip on coffee and not get the jittery, anxious feeling. This time, I tried their rose iced coffee. It was great! It was super sweet, feel like I could have added another small coffee to it but overall good. This location is super clean and spacious and the employees are very helpful. read more

Absolutely love the mint mojito. So glad to have a Philz in the neighborhood. Service very slow. Hopefully it will improve with time.

To be honest, I just tried the chocolate croissant today from there and when I tell you, it's way better from Starbucks, I'm being 100% with it. I love going here every time for my favorite drink and my favorite breakfast to eat. It's always the jalapeño cheese bagel always has to be that one that's one of the top tier best ones along with my favorite blueberry muffin read more

It's a new spot. It just opened up. They might still be training their staff. They have a lot of staff but drinks were coming out very slow. I know they're trying to put their spin on coffee and how it's presented and all that jazz. But a lot of workers looked starry eyed. But hey, it's not my usual coffee spot, so will probably not be back. My drink was fine. read more

I understand it's a new location but you guys gotta dial in your sweetness levels! Both my partner and I ordered "medium sugar" and "light sugar" respectively, and our drinks came out straight diabetes like a Starbucks caramel frapp lol read more

Whenever I am blessed to have my coffee made by RALPH, my co-workers are then fortunate enough to see have an ounce of joy in the morning. Ralph has not missed yet. I actually boycotted Castro Valley because it became so inconsistent. So I am extremely grateful that whenever I get him, he's so consistent. 5 stars for him! I knocked off 1 star because I think the layout there is a bit tight, but nothing anyone can do about that, just be aware. read more

the mint mojito never disappoints! soso good and refreshing! we ordered a muffin as well but it was really dry and not moist. it wasn't too soft on the inside. service was pretty fast considering their was a line. def would be back to try their other products!! read more

In rewards program, you earn 10 points for every $1 spent. When you earn 1,200 points, you get a free cup of coffees. That means you have to spend $120 (1,200/10=$120) to earn a free cup of coffee!!! Makes no sense, read more

Really good. Amongst the big coffee chains I personally believe it's better than Starbucks and Peet's.

So happy that Philz is in San Leandro! Great coffee, service and aesthetics! Ordered via the app and coffee was ready quickly

I would like to take this opportunity to say Thank you Dom and the rest of the crew that started at 5:30 this morning, 4-48-2026. I forgot to get everyone's name. I came in not knowing that they're a cashless store (I had cash with me) and have no idea how to use the Google wallet (ME person problem). They still took my order and Dom, paid for my coffee without hesitation. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You guys know the true meaning of customer service! read more

Shop just opened, was curious about the mint mojito mocha since it has real mint. Waited for the guy ahead of me having a problem using a card. Guy behind counter started talking about some inventory matter with another worker. Continued after the guy ahead finally finished. I waited...and waited...and waited. The woman behind the counter talking to the guy behind the counter came up to the counter, picked something up and then stood back and continued the inventory discussion. I finally gave up and left. As an older woman who has stopped coloring her gray hair, I am getting familiar with the invisibility factor many younger people have towards older women, and I am pretty sure this was at play. So you might want to consider this before wasting your time. There are lots of coffee places downtown, will continue to patronize those. Even As Kneaded at the library, which gave me sticker shock. But they were nice and attentive! read more
