A Surprisingly Good Matcha Experience I was out running errands around the Del Amo Mall over the weekend and had gotten an early start to beat the Los Angeles South Bay heat. I also had to make a stop at the Torrance Farmers Market for my groceries, so I was trying to stay hydrated and caffeinated without drinking something hot. I've had a complicated relationship with matcha. My first attempt ordering it on my own was not great -- I found it very earthy and bitter. Since then, I've learned that matcha can vary quite a bit depending on the preparation and quality, and I've come to appreciate a smoother, more approachable style. The last time I tried matcha with my best friend, I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth and enjoyable it could actually be. So I decided to give Philz a try, because Philz has never let me down. And if I don't like something, their staff are always happy to help make it right. I placed a mobile order for the Strawberry Matcha, and it turned out to be exactly what I was looking for! One thing I especially appreciate about Philz is that oat milk is the default in many of their drinks. As someone who is milk-sensitive and also just doesn't enjoy the taste of whole milk, I LOVE not having to remember to modify my order. It makes ordering so much easier. When I arrived, my drink was ready quickly, even though there were probably 10+ mobile orders already waiting to be picked up. The Strawberry Matcha was refreshing, smooth, and delicious -- exactly what I needed on a hot South Bay day. The location was clean, the staff were friendly, and the barista even checked in to see if I liked the drink. I definitely did! Funny enough, I went into Philz that day thinking I didn't want coffee, tea, or my usual Yerba Mate... and walked out having discovered another caffeinated drink I actually really enjoy. Philz continues to be a reliable choice for me, especially when I want to try something outside of my usual routine. read more

I am always a fan of Philz Coffee!!! This one is located on the outside of the Del Amo mall. The coffee may be pricey, but you get a high-quality drink! Plus, for non-coffee drinkers, they have solid tea options-- The chai always hits the spot. Made with real tea not something that comes out of the box. Plus you can customize it with how much milk and honey you like. Ambiance: This coffee shop is smaller than other Philz. Inside there is several tables, plus a communal table and some lounge seating. Outside there is a decent size patio-- nice on cool morning. Plus, like all shops there is nice art work on the walls. Pro tip: When coming to this place- plan ahead- especially during peak time as drink orders can take awhile. Remember each drink is custom made. You can order ahead on their app. read more

It took about 10 minutes to get one cup of overly strong, undrinkably bitter decaf coffee (NOT counting waiting in line). Seats are uncomfortable; decor is awful, and the hardscape interiors bounce the sound around to the point we could not hear the person next to us. First and last time for me read more

Located off Hawthorne Bl in Torrance outside of the Del Amo Mall by Nordstrom. Parking is shared with the mall so parking can be tough since the mall tends to be busy especially on the weekends. Nice place a good amount of seating inside. The staff were friendly and helpful. I got the Strawberry Matcha it was good I would definitely come back here again. Overall a nice spot for coffee and pastries. read more

Over the weekend I came to try this Philz location. It's located right outside of the Del Amo mall near some restaurants/eateries. Parking was really crowded since it was the weekend and around lunch time, but I was able to park in the last open space for pick up (10min time limit for certain businesses). There weren't too many customers inside and no wait to order. It took some time to figure out what I wanted but ended up ordering an Iced Tiramisu with cream and sugar. My husband ordered his favorite Iced Mint Mojito with cream and sugar. We got our drinks quickly and they both tasted great! Love that there's always consistency of how drinks are made at each Philz location that I've been to in multiple cities. Fast service and good quality! read more

Stopped by Philz after Pilates for a Monday morning pick-me-up around 7am, and it was a great start to the day. Even that early, there were a few people already working on laptops, and I noticed plenty of outlets--always a win if you're planning to stay awhile. Parking was super easy with a lot right out front, plus 10-minute spots if you're just running in for a quick pickup. I ordered the Mint Mojito (Sweet & Creamy), which was refreshing and hit the spot without being overly sweet. Service was smooth and efficient--the cashier was kind and quick, and the barista making my drink was just as friendly. A couple of people came in for mobile orders while I was there, and everything moved at a good pace. From what I could see, there's one restroom. The music was on the louder side but not distracting, and overall the space felt comfortable and productive--definitely a solid spot to work or ease into the morning. An easy go-to Philz with good vibes and reliable coffee read more

Super super friendly staff and super customizable order to your coffee! I thought I visited a philz a few years back elsewhere and do not remember having so much choice in ordering. The staff gave me time to look at the menu. I ordered a hot philtered soul with medium sugar and creamy milk. The lady making it asked if I wanted any adjustments. I maybe should have added slightly more sugar but the medium was a good semi bitter sweetness level. The pistachio croissant had a very delicious filling! All in all a great experience. One thing to note! Those glued to your phones watch out lol that pole is right at the register so I almost hit my head Regardless great interior. I hope to check out their book collection some day. read more

Stopped by Philz Coffee on a hot day and ordered two iced drinks: the Silken Splendor and the Mint Mojito. The Silken Splendor was the perfect choice - smooth, refreshing, and full of flavor. I really enjoyed the tasting notes, and nothing about it felt overpowering. I also tried the Mint Mojito, and I appreciated that it was less sweet, which made it perfect for my taste. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The café had a relaxed atmosphere. It was a little busy with some background noise, but not enough to be distracting. There were plenty of tables, a variety of seating options, and enough outlets if you need to plug in your laptop and get some work done for a while. If you're looking for a refreshing iced coffee or a comfortable place to spend an hour or two, Philz is definitely worth a visit. read more

You can never go wrong with the Mint mojito at Philz. Practically what i get everything i visit. This location is part of the mall, but not really haha. It's like attached but only to be entered from the parking lot. I got my drink relatively quick, so the wasn't bad. Lots of chairs for folks that are looking to get work done and enjoy their coffee!! read more

Bad service It took 30 minutes order and take out .. extremely slow service and I don't recommend this place

I'm rarely in this area yet I've already been to this Del Amo location twice in the past two weeks. I luv me some Philz and quite honestly I had no idea Torrance had one. My first visit gets 5-stars for the service alone! Was assisted by a friendly cashier who was helpful with deciding what vegan-friendly hot beverage to order. I was originally interested in the seasonal Oatmeal Cookie drink which only comes iced. So one of the employees reminded the cashier about a secret menu. I ended up getting a Julie's Ultimate which has hazelnut coffee brewed with cinnamon in the filter. I ordered this with almond milk, half sugar, and extra cinnamon sprinkled on top. Yum! https://yelp.to/of9VZ-QSDs This location is clean, bright, and has a large seating area. Thumbs up! read more

Service and Employees were great... My experience from Philz has always been a bit different than what others have given me for expectations....

Still a good go-to place though... read more

This place is ok. The staff was friendly. The coffee was good. I had the Caramel Nirvana (Hot) with an Almond croissant. My only complaint and this is me just being snobby. I know the staff is busy and working hard but we were standing around for a few minutes before our order was taken and then took a while before we received our drinks. (Give or take 20 minutes in wait time) Love the LGBT Flag btw read more

I've only been to this location once but many years ago. This is about an hour drive from us so we are rarely out this way but Philz never disappoints! We were shopping at the Del Amo Mall (this coffee shop is located right outside of it) and decided to grab an iced drink before our drive home. Walked in, busy as usual but nothing out of the ordinary and the line moved fast. Plenty of seating too! I ordered a small iced nutty caramel nirvana which is one of their new drinks at this time. Super good, just like my go to which is the iced Philtered soul, sweet n creamy, but more of a nuttier and cinnamon flavor. Absolutely delicious of a drink! The baristas here all have cute custom chalk board signs for their names as well. The one who happened to make mine had a cute Birdo and Yoshi drawing. Great spot and great quality coffee for the right price and amount of wait time. IG: @ammysalamii read more

It's a blessing to have a Philz near you... And Torrance Philz gets 5 stars for being there. I recommend you try Philz if you haven't, especially get a Philtered Soul, Large, Iced, Cream, lightly sweet, less ice. read more

Tamara please read the entire review. It's not just about time. It's about your employee Athziri. This review is not about the food it's about the service and associate I continue to have problems with. I have placed orders here numerous of times at diff times sometimes morning sometimes evening. However I never have problems with my orders unless it's Athziri I know my order will either be wrong or won't be ready at the time i requested. I requested pick up at 6:10am and my drink was not ready until 6:16am; mind you I walked into Philz at 6:10am and she was barely preparing the orders. And gave the excuse that it said 6:15am when it was actually my coworkers order that said that time and somehow she still received her order before me. When i walked in it didn't seem busy nor was there a line. I work customer service so i do understand and gave her the begot of the doubt that it was probably busy. BUT it continues to happen anytime she's in it is a pattern i have noticed and not sure what her problem is. I had to go back for a refund because i was given a strawberry danish not the apple cinnamon danish that i ordered. I am allergic to berries and when i let her know what happened there was no apology, no acknowledgement of mistake I mean if you didn't do it with a malicious intent. Because at this point it's every order i place and i see her handling my order i already know it will be wrong or won't be ready on time. There has been times where i have waisted my entire 30 minute lunch bc my order was made wrong or it was just not ready on time. Her demeanor as a barista in the customer service is very unprofessional. I think a manager/supervisor should have a conversation with them to see if they're struggling with anything that could be affecting their work. If there aren't any outside factors, I think they may need to be retrained or have a refresher on the barista procedures and expectations, because their current performance is starting to reflect that they may need additional support. read more

Pleaseeeee add matcha to the menu I would come more often! I had the iced chai that was soooo good. My friend had the rose foam coffee which I tried and is ok to me but I've never really fancied the rose or lavender food items in general so I'm biased. You can pick to adjust the level of sweetness. Iced cups come in hot paper cups which was interesting. The service was good but it is crowded so make sure to plan accordingly. The workers ask you to try the drink and ok it before leaving. Ambiance is kind of packed in the inside and waiting for the order but they have spacious seating outside with gorgeous astronaut mural. read more

My go to has been, and will probably always be, the iced mint mojito extra creamy and regular sweetness. I love having Philz in the area. I usually use the app to order and then pick up at the counter. I did try the seasonal tiramisu cold brew recently, and it was creamy and delicious... but not my mint mojito. The one surprisingly good item I absolutely love is their pistachio croissant! I know pistachio is having its moment via Dubai chocolate and all its mainstream variants. Here, the croissant has a nice flaky texture, and it's topped with some pistachios, icing, and powdered pistachio. Inside there's a pistachio-almond cream. It reminds me of a typical almond croissant, but instead of a plain almond paste that tastes too much like pure marzipan, it has a nice pistachio flavor. If I could have one wish about this place, I'd wish there was a curbside type of option. As a mom running errands with kids in their carseats, I'd prefer not to have to get the crew out of the car just to pick up my coffee. It's probably one of the reasons why I don't go as often as I want to. That being said, I know that this location is at the mall, so I understand the limitations when it comes to something like that. read more

Love this Philz! Sometimes a line can be super long, but definitely worth the wait- the staff is super quick and very kind! If you don't know what to order totally ask the person at the register because they always have great suggestions. I always come here when I'm visiting for the summer and I really appreciate the pride flag always hanging on the wall. read more

Literally the best Philz around. Shoutout to Maggie who made me the best coffee I have ever had in my life. In a great location (attached to Del Amo Mall). read more

Great coffees and with signature roasted beans. The service is great and the pastries are very tasty. The only drawback are the wait times, they are a bit excessive especially at their larger and busiest locations. I have been to their locations in West Hollywood, Costa Mesa, and Torrance. Their signature flavors like philharmonic and philtered soul are great and their chai teas and cold brews are great too. Other than Peets coffee, Philz is my favorite coffee so far. read more

I came to Philz to study while I was in the area. They have a couple tables with accessible outlets, but it's not that big inside. If it's busy it would be hard to find a table. They do have some additional seating outside. It's located between Nordstrom and Sweet Green, on the outside of the mall. You can park in the parking lot shared with Barnes and Noble side of the mall. I ordered the iced chamomile tea since I'm not a coffee drinker, and it was made fresh to order. read more

A trip to philz is a necessity whenever I'm in the west coast. I always get the mint mojito which is so refreshingly delicious - you don't think it goes well with coffee until you have this drink and that's the magic of Philz. The other magic of philz is that they make me, a snobby espresso drinker, love drinking their drip/american style coffee. When will they come to NYC? not sure but I"m definitely not the only person who would love to see them there! The place is spacious and also has a pretty good outdoor space to sit as well. Lots of people doing work here and taking meetings. Clean bathroom. Nice staff. Would definitely return. Do yourself a favor and try the whole menu! I don't think you'll be disappointed. They also ask you how the drink is right when it comes out if you need it sweetened or anything. Top notch stuff. read more

I'm a Philz coffee newbie. Just tried the mint mojito with medium sweetness and loved it. It's super creamy and now I know what the hype is about. I also liked how the barista put her name on the cup. It's a really nice personal touch I ordered on the app and the coffee was ready for pick up when I arrived.

I'm normally not a huge coffee drinker (and couldn't even tell you what the difference is between an espresso or a cappuccino), but Philz always comes through as offering a great drink without too much fuss. I ordered a Mint Mojito Iced Coffee since I was able to dilute it with some oat milk to make it creamier and less bitter. The mint really adds a nice touch to the drink and I found myself enjoying it much more than I thought I would. The barista even asked to make sure I was actually enjoying it before turning it over for me to really consume. Much appreciated! The space itself in this Philz was nice to work at for a few hours. A few tables with outlets right on the tabletop, making it efficient to charge your devices and use that good wifi. Finding parking inside the lot this Philz is in can be a nightmare though. We spent a good ten minutes searching wide before finding a spot. If you come on a weekend, beware that it may take a bit of time to locate parking before enjoying all that Philz has to offer. read more

Philz has become one of my fave places to get coffee! My go- to is usually the iced coffee rosé. I get it with creamy cream, medium sweet, and iced. It's just SO good and very unique. The floral taste isn't too overpowering. It's just so yummy. I've been liking the Honey Haze as well! It's their coffee with oat milk and honey. It's so refreshing. Workers here are always super nice. They always offer to adjust the drink if it's not up to par, but I've never had to adjust my drinks before. Parking does get a bit crowded in the lot since it shares spots with so many shops, but there are a few spots for quick pick-up from Philz / the restaurants which is convenient at times! Would definitely recommend this location! read more
