Philz Coffee on Embarcadero is so atmospheric. Here on a Saturday morning, you have the tourists, the runners and other folks in SF pop in for a coffee and to grab a bite. And a terrific wall piece highlighting all the major attractions of SF.

The food was very good, and the wait was not very long. Highlights include the breakfast burrito and the chocolate croissant.

But the star of the show has to be the coffee. I had a great hot coffee (Jacob’s Wonderbar - bold and rich to jolt you awake) while my wife had their iconic drink - the Iced Mint Mojito coffee. It is their signature drink for good reason - frothy, with delicate sweet notes and an aftertaste of coffee to remind you that you are indeed, in a coffee shop.

Always a good coffee but you can tell that due to the area it’s a bit run down.

The person who made my medium tesora on June 29th at 4:05pm - please Philz coffee quality control. You need to stop here. I also had it as medium medium. The cream wasn't even filled to the top. I also saw this person use a whisk to stir the coffee ground filtered. You are suppose to use a spoon. And I have a feeling some of them are not changing out their switch cups every three usages.

You can't beat this place. The best coffee chain possibly in the bay for sure and arguably in the country. EVERYTHING is pour over. No espresso machines. The Mocha Tesora is my favorite item and I encourage everyone to try it out if you like chocolate.

Very expensive but very tasty coffee. Order before hand via the App. Tesora or Ecstatic (iced or hot) are favorites.

They have a selection of dark, medium and lights brew coffees. A description of the taste for profile is helpful. I enjoyed the light manhattan brew. Everyone is attentive and friendly. Service was quick and efficient

This isn’t a barista coffee shop. It’s only drip coffee with different flavourings. If you want a real latte, flat white or cappuccino, you won’t find it here 😔

It doesn't look like the best place from outside, could do with a little update but the Mocha Tesora is fantastic. Easily the best coffee I've had in San Francisco so far.

This place is still a lot better than Starbucks or Peets, but you literally can't get "regular coffee" here. I have more than once gone to this location, asked for coffee that didn't have cinnamon or spices added to it, and each time, it still tastes like cinnamon or spices. I know a lot of people like that. If you do, then you're fine going here. Also, they don't have drip coffee ready to go. If you want a quick drip coffee fill up, then you have to go elsewhewre. If you want a good pour over, there are better places, especially if you don't want cinnamon or spiced coffee. Also, it was $6.30 before the tip prompt.
