Delicious coffee and friendly service! Marcus was the barista and he was very kind and asked us to try the coffee before we left to ensure it was up to our standards! I ordered an iced Mocha Tesora extra creamy, light sweetness, and oatmilk. Super delicious and some of the best coffee I've had! I also got the everything bagel with one cream cheese. The bagel was good and thick, but I would recommend getting more than one cream cheese because of that. Great quality and price! read more

The vibe is cute spacious open. Great for working/studying. My personal experience has been that the service is off and on, and therefore the drinks are off and on.. the afternoon crew for whatever reason just seems more outgoing and relaxed maybe because they're not as busy with the morning rush. I tested a theory out. I've bought multiple drink drinks where I've tipped.... And I'm a usual tipper. And then I had a few times where I didn't tip just to see if the drinks were made differently. Sure as shit they were loaded up with ice to the top, very heavy and you only get a few sips of the drink... so I'm paying almost 8 dollars for ice. I told myself I was gonna try their entire menu because for the first time in years I actually fell in love with some of their coffee. But after having now six terribly made drinks and three perfectly made drinks. I think I know that the bad out weighs the good and I'm gonna become a once in a rare moment customer. They don't need me clearly they have enough people craving their addictions. Lol. It's just disappointing when you find a place that you enjoy going. But you keep feeling ripped off every time you order. I tipped 6 out of the 9 times just to see about the ice and I don't know if I can chalk it up to coincidence any more. Anyway, I guess it's a blessing in disguise to save money and go back to making my coffee at home. I will say Philz has good marketing though. The way their menu presents. Their drinks is nearly exactly what you get which I love visually. I think the brown cups are perfect because you can't see the coffee or the ice inside of the cup. Places like Starbucks have these extravagant photos, but you never get a drink that looks like a photo. I don't know if you have but I never have. So anyway, the three stars is basically just an average of the overall service. I've gotten not amazing not bad, but definitely could be better. read more

I usually go here for good coffee made well by their baristas. I've written it before and I'll write it again - "not all baristas are made equal". We dropped by on a Friday and the staff was getting ready to close shop. There was no other customer in sight. It was my first time to encounter this barista. She was in such in a hurry and never even asked if my coffee was okay in case it needed some revisions. This time, the taste of my coffee was so disappointing and sad. Maybe she was new and needed more training. I felt like I wasted my money on that one. read more

The Yuzu Twist Lemon Tea came in hot (well... perfectly chilled), and this one is a straight-up crafted gem. Bright, refreshing, and dialed in just right -- that citrus pop hits clean without being overpowering. One sip in and I already knew this wasn't just a drink, it was an experience. The vibe inside was on point. Relaxed but moving with purpose. The store flowed effortlessly, orders were taken smoothly, and drinks came out in a timely manner without anyone looking rushed or flustered. You can tell there's a rhythm here, and it works. Now a quick heads up -- watch where you park. Some spots are 1-2 hour time limits, and others require paid parking, so just be mindful before you walk in. This is the kind of place where you slow down, enjoy what's in your cup, and appreciate when something simple is done really well. I'll definitely be back for this one again. read more

Was really happy that there was a Philz in the area and in a strip mall with tons of parking. Went for my go-to Iced Mint Mojito before work and was pleasantly surprised at the lack of a line and quick service. My drink was made perfectly and quickly. This location is spacious and a big bar space, always love how you are encouraged to try your drink before leaving to ensure it's something you will enjoy or made right. Philz is consistent in their drinks and flavors and can always depend on them for a great cup of coffee. read more

Philz Coffee - Mint Mojito - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

The day my daughter and I went for some time to chat and found it was too noisy, for a place to have a conversation. Also, although my coffee was tasty, the price point was on the high side. read more

Wait time here is so long when they are busy you are better off placing an online order. Coffee is good but they don't offer a lot of latte flavors if you're more into flavored coffees. I also wish they had more pastry options. There is seating available and staff is nice. read more

The staff here is sooo sweet! Always have had great experiences with the people who work at Philz. The cafe itself is a good size with decent amount of seating for people studying or just enjoying a cup of coffee. My favorite is the mint mojito since it's refreshing and sweet and the baristas are kind enough to adjust your drink just to your taste. I like to use the app and order ahead to make it easier on myself. Would recommend to others. read more

They no longer accept cash. No. You lost my business. This is a very elitist mentality/ thing to do. I came in today to purchase a gift card for a friend. And then I got myself a small decaf Mojito. The drink tastes wonderful, but when I went to go pay, she said that they no longer accept cash. And I was taken back. But I still purchased what I came here to purchase. I work for a small business. And even though we don't accept many cash payments, I would never not take someone's cash. It just is crazy. I was able to get a sandwich from the deli next-door and pay with cash. read more

Philz Coffee - Decaf mint Mojito. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

They take coffee and customer service very seriously. I feel like there are relatively few coffee shops these days where a person can just plug in their laptop and get a cup of coffee and do some work for a few hours, and luckily this place was really good about that. read more

The staff here deserve all the stars! They are always so cheerful and thoughtful from the person who takes your order to the person who makes your drink and food. I tried their season caramel banana drink and it is so good but next time I probably wouldnt get it philz way (sweet and creamy) and opt for less sweet. we also got the ambrosia cold brew which is strong and smooth. the breakfast burritos are tiny but actually pretty filling and tasty. the apple danish was pretty basic but solid. lots of space inside and a few spaces outside to sit. its a busy place and drinks are made to order so it does take longer than normal for drinks to come out but worth the wait. read more

Spacious location next to Genova deli. Friendly guy took our order. Busy spot with lots of pickup orders but it seemed to take longer to get our mint mojito. I like that the staff seemed in really high spirits and the vibe was a good one inside while we waited. Mint mojito always good and made fresh. read more

Philz Coffee - Mint mojito - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I love going to Philz - it's truly the only coffee spot that is strong enough to do its job of keeping me awake! Highly recommend ordering ahead on their mobile app. I always order an iced philtered haze extra sweet and extra creamy! Baristas are friendly and ask you to taste it to make sure it's good - which it usually is. Also I notice it's always cold indoors so I'd recommend bringing a jacket if you plan on hanging around or working inside. I hope they'll one day start a reward system! read more

Jalapeño cheese bagel with cream cheese 3.95 Space There's plenty of indoor seating about 30 seats. Outdoor seating is about 25. It's well designed Philz. The dining area is separate from the register and where drinks are made. There are two large pews for people to sit and wait for their order. I like the ambiance. Nice and quiet. Customers were reading or studying. Helps me be in the mood to write. Food Jalapeño cheese bagel with cream cheese This bagel had a kick of spiciness but nothing insane. It's a bit greasy and will likely not order this. I'll order a plain or sesame. No drink this time. Too late in the day for caffeine. Typically, I'll order a monitor coffee. Service Service was good. I should have gotten his name. The person at the register greeted me with a smile. I felt welcomed. read more

Probably one of the worst Philz I've ever been in. They don't seem to have decency for customer service. I understand it's holidays, I worked in food and customer service but they made my drink without having any callouts to notify anyone of their drinks and mind you, my drinks didn't even have the label printed on it. How am I suppose to know if it was my drink without either the necessary information? read more

Less chit chat and more focus on the coffee. Can't believe I waited over 30 minutes for a mobile order. I get to the store and it's still not ready while I watch and listen to a barista literally chat with their friends for 5 minutes. Never coming to this location again! read more

Philz Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Very friendly staff and the coffee quality is excellent. Also a superb space for meetings and work.

I ordered their coconut caramel iced coffee, and it was refreshing and sweet. The barista was friendly and he took our order without a lot of fanfare or waste of time. The coffee shop is actually quite large and although it had the Starbucks/Peet's feeling, Philz Coffee actually has its own type of clientele and vibe to it. read more

Philz has transferred over the delicious pour over with exotic names to suburban W.C. It's the same coffee as SF but with less gritty patrons. The interior is bohemian but it's really just fake bohemian. No real community just lonely people on their headsets. read more

Philz Coffee - Phil's crew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I love me some Philz Coffee. They have some really nice drinks and their burritos are pretty good too. It's also convenient that it's a 2 min drive away from my job, so it's nice to get a coffee before my shift starts. The inside is very nice, and pretty huge for a cafe. I even like the metal wall decoration they have on there, it makes it look fancy. So why the 3 stars? I usually order through their app, but it takes forever for the app to load, and ordering it through the website makes it a little more pricey than it's supposed to. And to make matters worse, you have to pay for parking, and if you don't, you could get a parking ticket (which happened to me today when I went to get Philz). So 3 stars for that reason. Still love their coffee though. I just wish these issues can be resolved. read more

Visited on a Sunday 3:20pm. Saw the line so thought I'd place a mobile order. App estimated 3:30pm pickup which I thought wasn't bad. However, the service here is quite slow; I waited over 15 minutes for my order, which was disappointing. If the service speed improves, this place would be perfect. Philz coffee is fantastic, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting--definitely a great spot. Hoping to see some changes on my next visit! read more

I asked for calorie info on the Gingersnap after I was unable to locate it online. The girl at the register said she wasn't sure. She pulled out a binder from under the counter and flipped through it briefly and said she didn't have the info. That's it, not ask a co-worker or supervisor. She couldn't find the info and that was it. I just walked out. read more

Philz Coffee - My drink cold coffee. Little cream - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Easy online ordering at Philz Coffee, and ready to be picked up in a cool to-go box, BUT! Make sure to check that your order is correct. The staff got a simple hot chamomile tea wrong..twice! I noticed it was an iced sweet tea with cream so I politely asked the mobile order counter to remake it. They were cool about it, and I even mentioned that it's supposed to be hot tea even tho it was a hot day hehe. She remade it, passed it back to me and -- although it was chamomile tea this time -- I noticed it had ice in it again. I kinda laughed it off and told the staff it's supposed to be hot tea, again. She proceeded to steep and make it again, apologizing for the mistake, of course. The vibe and chatty energy amongst the staff seemed lively, but sometimes that could lead to lack of attention to details. If you're in a pinch for time, consider yourself warned. Overall, great drinks and breakfast burritos. read more

I love this place so much! I make a 30min detour to get coffee here before work at least once a week, and it always hits the spot! The staff is super sweet and welcoming, and they always take care to make sure my customizations are right. I don't like espresso lattes, and this is the only place that offers flavored coffees that are comparable to other coffee shops' latte selections. The vibes are great and I often camp out to work on my laptop in the cozy seating area. Order ahead and schedule your pickup time if you're in a rush, or order in if you'll be hanging out for a while! The wait time is long if you're ordering in person - but they're popular for a reason! The only place I'll go for coffee! :) read more

I'm a tea drinker, but they had a great spicy chai tea! The staff are very friendly and helpful. (And extremely patient with a "first-timer"). Definitely a local place...eclectic style, but very clean. Plenty of places to sit either inside or outside! read more

Philz Coffee - Medium size chai tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I want to love Philz because everybody and their mama love it, and some go hard for it. Dear Philz... I've tried... at least 5 different times in 4 different locations over the years. I just can't. Coffee is way watery and weak. I don't want to rely on the fancy syrups for flavor.... just simple, bold, strong coffee. read more

Another stop on our coffee pilgrimage. Ok, I understand Philz is extremely popular and I was excited to try them. We arrived at 11:10 on a Saturday morning. This place was "Philzed" with people. We were unclear where to go to order because there is a bar of baristas to the right upon entering making drinks., and no clear line of people placing orders. A sign directed us deeper into the cafe to place our order, but no one was there to take an order. Swiftly, a young man said he'd be right with us. And he was, and he was super friendly and seemed very happy to be working here. The line begins forming behind us--we got here just in the nick of time! The menu offered several iced coffee drinks, and the ginger snap looked good to me, but I wanted it hot. Our server enthusiastically said it's delicious warm, too. So I ordered that with almond milk. Husband ordered the same. And he had a twice-baked almond croissant, I had the bacon onion croissant. Both were "toasted." The baked goods came available quickly, but we didn't hear our name called. I thought I heard my name called about 3 minutes after placing our order--but it wasn't for me. Hubby went into the main area after about 5 minutes and found our pastries on the counter with the name Lauren--his name is Warren, so he confirmed they were, indeed, ours. He brought them to me and went back to see about the coffees, because it's just insanely busy. The croissants were not warm, but they were crispy. I like to eat my food with my coffee, but still waiting on that. So I started to eat. I have to say, very delish! After about 15 minutes, we finally got the coffee. Hubby was chatting it up with our Barista, and he said she was also extremely pleasant and clearly was enjoying her job. Love that! My drink had zero sweetener. When I placed the order, our server mention it comes with sweetener, and so I was surprised. It had a lot of the spices, nutmeg prominent (and that gives me a little bit of a numbing sensation to my tongue--but not to Hubby--I must have a little allergy). Anyway, I went to get some sugar and they don't have it out for customers to grab. I asked our Barista, Juno, if I could get some sugar and she happily said sure and offered several options. I selected the brown sugar, which she popped into a cup and added a bit of water to dissolve it. Very accommodating! I poured it in my drink and liked it much better. So, five star service here for sure! Lost a star for the slow and disjointed delivery, I think the drink was ok, but not sure why this place is so popular, and for me, not a fan of this particular store. I guess I'm just not hip enough--lol! I'd like to end on a positive note--I love the inclusive, friendly vibe. The store prominently supports the LGBT ‍ community, BLM, and all humans. Bravo! read more

I'm officially a Philz convert now. I adore Philz and this location has never let me down. Staff are always very friendly, plenty of parking, atmosphere is lively and welcoming, lots of seating, and strong coffee. Sometimes they're out of beans or certain blends which is a little disappointing. I wanted to grab some Philtered Soul grounds today but they didn't have any :( Love that they had bottled cold brew available for sale instead. Maybe it's placebo effect, but their coffee seems to be at least twice as strong as other coffee shops... and I love it. I'm a caffeine-fiend. I can down a Monster or Celsius or Quad shot latte and not feel anything, but for some reason, the cold brews at Philz gets me. Be careful with the cold brews if you're sensitive to caffeine just FYI! Love love love that they don't charge for milk alternatives!! read more

In Walnut Creek on a Sunday with our sons to celebrate our future daughter-in-law's birthday, we ended up at Philz for some coffee after brunch. They had me at parking - a nice shared lot with abundant spaces - an endangered Walnut Creek species! My son is a Philz veteran at this location, but this was our first time. My wife and I rarely go to Philz, as there is none nearby, while a Starbucks and Peets are right around the corner. I ordered my favorite Mint Mojito while our son suggested my wife try an item from the "secret menu", Cinnamon Toast Crunch! (Fortunately, it's not *too* secret because the barista knew it immediately). We specified "sweet and creamy" for both. Another thing I like about this Philz is its fairly large seating area - we easily found a corner space for the six of us (mid Sunday afternoon might've had something to do with this). Soon our drinks came and they were delicious - turns out" sweet and creamy" is right up our alley! With good coffee and no need to rush we enjoyed a pleasant afternoon. This Philz deserves more visits from us! read more

I had ordered a hot chai tea with almond milk. The guy made it cold. I told him my order was for a hot chai with almond milk. He remade It but it wasn't chai tea. I don't know what it was, but it was awful so I didn't drink much of it. I won't be back. read more

Philz Coffee will always be amazing and I've never had a bad experience. This location, as with all the others I've been to, is welcoming, clean, and the truly hand-crafted drinks are so good. Since I always get either Tesora or Philtered Soul, I went with a Silken Splendor today and it definitely hit the spot. If you want a bag of beans for home, they got a ton to choose from. Pro-tip: Use the Philz Coffee app if you're in a rush! read more

I come here once in a while during my lunch break. Service is friendly. Coffee is solid, though not cheap, but that's to be expected at a Philz. There is ample seating both inside and outside. What I think they need more of, is staff making the coffee. I can't wait 15-20 minutes for a coffee during my break. Part of the problem is that all the drinks being made were mobile orders. There was a row of them, unclaimed, while a handful of people who ordered in store were patiently waiting for their drinks. After 5 minutes to order and another 15 minutes waiting for my drink, I gave up and left so I wouldn't be marked as late at work. Out $7 because they don't have adequate staff and the prioritization of in store vs mobile ordering isn't optimized. read more

If I would have known that it would take 15-20 minutes for a small coffee, I would have cancelled it. It's absolutely frustrating!

Listen I love me some good coffee and Philz definitely delivers! My favorite is the iced rose. Didn't think I'd like floral but it's not too floral at all and It adds such a unique taste. It's not too sweet & Taste of coffee is strong. Win- win. Also they have alot of indoor seating + an excellent selection of pastries, and i love that they have the kouign amann- this pastry is unique & delicious. read more
