About 20-30 seats and ample power sockets. Convenient and clean restrooms. Good wifi and looks of people working. You can share tables with others. The parking situation is painful. Is always crowded outside
I visited Philz Coffee after seeing their limited edition Iced Tiramisu all over Instagram — and it definitely lived up to the hype! It was my first time trying their coffee, and I absolutely loved it. The drink was creamy, smooth, and had just the right amount of sweetness. I’d rate it a 9.5/10 — such a delicious and refreshing treat!
I also tried their cheese jalapeño bagel — it wasn’t really for me, as it was a bit too spicy and had a unique flavor I couldn’t quite describe.
One of the things I loved is that you can customize how creamy you want your drink — they offer light, medium, or extra creamy, and they even have dairy alternatives if you prefer. Drinks also come in three sizes — small, medium, and large, and I’ll be adding a picture showing how the prices vary.
Small $4.90
Medium $5.90
Large $6.90
The vibe of the café was really nice — casual, cozy, and gives off a cool, college hangout feel. The staff were polite, though a little more small talk or recommendations would’ve made a first-time visit even better.
I did notice that there weren’t many vegetarian options on the menu. Being a vegetarian, I would have loved to see something like a vegetable sandwich or salad in addition to the jalapeño bagel. It could attract more customers and boost sales.
They also have their own merch corner, which I thought was super cute! You can find totes, sweatshirts, mugs, cups, and t-shirts — great little gift ideas for coffee lovers.
Overall, though, I’d definitely come back for their coffee — especially the Iced Tiramisu! Highly recommend giving it a try before it’s gone.

I usually go here for Philz because I love their coffee, but today I waited 24 minutes for a cold brew after being 2nd in line to order. One person ahead of me and two people sitting down on the waiting bench.
By the time I went to go ask for a refund they still hadn’t even started on it. 24 minutes from when I ordered inside and they still weren’t working on it. The manager or whoever just said “yeah sorry about that”.
The wait time here has always been kind of long, but I’m over it now. Time to find a different local coffee spot.
Coffee:
I go to Philz semi-frequently and always order a medium or dark blend with medium cream and light sugar, but the amount of cream and sugar are often inconsistent. So there have been many times when it has been too sweet and have had to ask them to make it again or have had to ask them for more cream or more sugar. There have been a few times where the coffee has been too watery as well. It would help if all their baristas used measuring cups or some system to keep things consistent. I’ve also noticed the quality of the beans to not be as good recently compared to a few years ago. This could be due to getting their beans from a different supplier and/or being acquired by a private equity firm.
Service:
I can’t complain about the service as the barista’s are always very nice. The only complaint would be the long wait times but that’s something that cannot be helped as each cup is made individually. However, I have noticed the wait time has decreased dramatically over the last half year.
Atmoshpere:
The tables could use a wipe down more often and outside umbrellas could be provided at more outdoor tables as most Philz locations’ patios I have been to tend to face the sun for some reason. Indoors at most locations tend to be on the more noisy side and the music they often play is not to my taste.

Philz Coffee
The space is cozy and well-organized, with a relaxing atmosphere that makes it perfect for enjoying your coffee or even getting some work done. The staff are super friendly and always ask about your taste preferences, making each cup feel personalized — something you don’t often find elsewhere.
I tried the Mint Mojito Iced Coffee and it was refreshing with a perfect balance of strong coffee and sweetness. Prices are fair for the quality and service you get.
Definitely a must-visit spot for coffee lovers — I’ll be coming back for sure! ☕👌

Tables outside are not clean. I didn’t like the vibe so much but the service was good
Their smoothies taste great without being too sweet.
This is my go-to place for a quick but satisfying lunch.
Nice place in Fremont. I recommend it to anyone who visits. It's very nice. I had coffee and it was nice.

very unique coffee preparations, different from branded coffees. Must try out. Very friendly staff and very good service. Good size sit-down area and a waiting bench for takeout customers. Online ordering is an option.
