Philz Coffee at Hillsdale Mall offers a mixed experience. While some customers have found their coffee inconsistent and sometimes watered down, others have praised the warm and friendly service from the staff. The cozy atmosphere with 2010s hip-hop playing adds to the casual meetup spot vibe, with delicious pastries to enjoy. The limited interior seating is offset by ample outdoor tables and benches for a relaxed visit.
Customers love the signature drinks, especially the Iced Gingersnap coffee, which can be made sweet and creamy. The staff is always friendly and helpful, though some customers note they come out smelling like coffee after their visit.
The coffee is described as yummy, with a beautiful, homegrown neighborhood feel. Customers appreciate the efficient order processing and the fact that drinks are made to order. The Ecstatic dark roast, featuring flavors of butterscotch, dark chocolate, and citrus, is a popular choice, often paired with a salted chocolate chip cookie.
Overall, Philz Coffee at Hillsdale Mall offers a casual, friendly atmosphere and delicious, customizable coffee drinks, making it a popular spot for a quick pick-me-up or a relaxed meetup.
