Whenever we’re in town we ALWAYS find the nearest Philz. We can count on the coffee to be delicious, the staff to be friendly and efficient, and the almond croissants never disappoint!
This is the only coffee shop location in the San Francisco Bay Area that sells beans through Too Good To Go, other coffee shops have beans listed on TGTG but there are no ratings, which means they haven't tried selling any.
Selling beans on TGTG ensures their drip coffee is always made with fresh beans, rather than using old or expired stock.
In contrast, during my time working at their competitor Peet's Coffee, the company policy required us to use expired beans for drip coffee rather than repurposing them for employees, donating them, or discarding them.
The pastries both coffee chains sell on Too Good To Go is another example of why Philz is better. Philz sells one day old pastries while Peet's sells TWO day old pastries.
Not to mention that Philz coffee is significantly better than Peet's.

Look at how beautiful this cup of coffee is! I’ve been coming to Philz coffee since I was a kid back in the original location in the mission district! Now living in the peninsula I can’t help but grab a coffee from the Burlingame location almost 7 days a week yes 7 days 🫣 no regrets!! The staff in Burlingame is always so friendly and I look forward to saying hi to them all to start my morning! Medium iced oatmeal cookie light almond milk light honey! Order a Julie’s Ultimate and in the notes ask for oatmeal cookie! Thank me later!! Thanks Philz Burlingame for making my mornings great!

The worst service experience ever. We went to the store and saw nobody was at the reception. We don’t know what happened so we went to the bar and asked how we should order.
Everything was normal and polite and then the lady just came and yelled at me saying it was totally not ok going to interrupt them when they are making coffee. I was like, ???? I swear I was really polite and normal.
Can someone told me what tradition it is not to say anything when they are making coffee? Even just like “may I ask how to order a coffee please?”

Unfortunately, I don't live in the SF area but when I come visit my family I'm at Philz the 1st thing next morning. I LOVE their dark blends in lattes AND their child brew is PHENOMENAL. Philz is better than any other coffee shop I've ever been to and this includes their pastries as well as their coffee.

for one large coffee, I waiting 40 minute it is ridiculous
Shop was to close at 5:30PM. They closed the bathroom at 3:30PM. This was during Labor Day weekend when the library was closed. I understand closing the bathroom 1 hour prior to closing but not 2 hours.

Philz branch review series :D -- Burlingame branch I go start my day here for work sometimes before my commute or at times for longer hours. I work outside a lot.
It's a pretty tiny space in the lovely downtown area of burlingame. Nice place to roam around.
This branch though small and busy, I can find a spot most of the times. They have more pick up orders than people like me stlettling in. Outlets accessibility and wifi are good.
I love being a regular in coffee shops with the perks you get sometimes from friendly baristas ?.
So far, I can't claim philz generally as an inviting place to be regular (working from). Franchises usually depend a lot on individual baristas. Philz got nice habits for customers nonetheless and this branch got some cool baristas.
Coffee is always so watery
