It was my first time there and it was amazing, best coffee and the barista was so friendly. I became a fan and will be trying more different flavors!

Horrible customer service, for some reason it takes 10 minutes to make a cup of coffee, then when they hand you a not full cup and you ask them to top it off they say no. Corporate greed!! I thought this was a local shop I was going to for my first time ever going to Philz Coffee and I know I’ll never be back…the real about them now. From google: While it began as a local, independent business, Philz Coffee is now a large, venture-backed enterprise that is ultimately owned by a private equity firm. This makes it a large corporation, even though it may feel like a small business in its individual stores.

With no line in front of me my drink took amost 20 minutes for a dirty chai that was main poorly admitted to by the barista. Saying she's never done one before and you could tell. Also why is there mint in my coffee. The cashier was friendly and nice I'll give them that. But the rest is not worth coming back to

Been here a few times but their hours are not up to community standards. Please do better.

One of the only places that didn't kick me out because I was just studying. The servers I had, Tajah and Anja were really nice and overall just made really good coffee. 10/10 would come again.

My two favorite coffees from philz: Iced- The mojito - iced, light, minty Hot- Honey Haze- smooth, cinnamon, honey, it's like drinking a coffee graham cracker. This drink is iced by default, but it is great hot and iced.

You should update your hours on Google and Yelp. People waste their time and gas.
Cozy place that is hard to see from the road unless you know what you are looking for.
Decent coffee place

The coffee is great and their pastries are great as well, but I for the life of me can’t figure out why it takes like 10 minutes to make a single coffee? They have 4 people working making coffees at a time and it’s 1 to 2 coffees every 5-10 minutes. That is just way too slow and the whole lobby gets backed up. With 4 people working on coffees it should definitely move way faster. Everyone is very friendly but that doesn’t not excuse the 25 minute wait for 2 coffees.

Best coffee. It takes 20 minutes to get coffee though sometimes. And the barista is moving fast. It just is a long process. So be ready to wait
