When in this area of town we drop by here. Recently we dined nearby and needed a coffee fix. Lol I love the mint mojito coffee. It has 2 tsp raw cane sugar or granulated +/- sugar to taste, 8-10 leaves mint, 8oz freshly brewed coffee, milk or cream of choice.( I like oat milk) and ice ( I go with light ice option) Anyway, they are always kind here.

I really like this location. It's near the train tracks which makes it perfect to sip a cup of coffee while waiting to get boarded. There are lots of windows for natural lighting and a decent amount of seating space. Their employees are full of youth and energy. They made my drinks great so that's a huge plus!

Nicest most spacious Philz ever! I've been to many Philz locations from southern to north California and this might be my favorite in the Bay Area. The interior is lovely, from the high ceilings and light fixtures to the sleek/clean tables and chairs. This is a perfect spot if you want some fresh air and a different (read non-home office) work environment. I ordered my iced ginger snap - which is not my regular drink, as I wanted to drink something lighter and more refreshing on this summer day. Within 10 minutes, my coffee was ready and customized perfectly to my liking (light oat milk, light sugar)!It's pretty chill inside on this weekday late afternoon, but imagine this place is busy on weekday mornings during rush hour for folks trying to catch Caltrain and other folks who work in the area. Parking is tight with Caltrain lot but there's a garage next door and can find street parking if you're lucky. Happy summer!

I've been to many Philz Coffee locations and they all have a different vibe. This one has really tall ceilings, has a modern feel and great lighting. Like in any other coffee shop... each Barista can make the same drink and have it taste different. Shout out to Madison for making a great tasting Honey Haze, it was splendid. Everyone was so friendly.

This review is based on my experience on September 28th, along with my two coworkers - Racism experience with another customer.We all went to Philz Coffee during our break, a place I had always associated with inclusivity and a strong anti-racism stance. Sadly, my recent experience left me feeling disappointed and disheartened. We all ordered and sat on the bench in front of the barista, while we wait for our drinks. As we were waiting for our drinks, we noticed this older woman who purposely dropped a large cup of ice on the floor and then she stepped on the pile of ice, trying to fall. My coworker called her out on that and made a comment saying that the woman purposely dropped the ice and is pretending to slip. None of the workers stepped in or seemed to acknowledge what my coworker said, when she was trying to stand up for the workers because of her behavior. The older woman was upset that my coworker called her out. She then walked away to a table, but kept staring at us. We then became her target. My coworker asked the woman why she kept staring at us. My coworker asked, "Why do you keep staring at us?!" The older woman then made a comment ending in, "Mexican ass." The older woman came back to the area where we were sitting, looked at us and stepped on the pile of ice again and said, "This is a message to you Mexicans. Like the ice, you Mexicans belong on the floor." Mind you, my coworker already called her out for being racist and even told the workers that the shop should not be serving anyone who is purposefully throwing ice on the floor and being racist, but nothing happened. Someone came over to clean up the ice, apologized and asked if we were ok. We later found out he was the manager, Nico.We got our drinks and my coworker noticed that the older woman was taking photos. My coworker asked her why she was taking photos, but the older woman mumbled something and we left the shop. After we left, we were so disappointed that nothing happened to the woman. We called the shop and asked to speak to the manager. The manager was speaking and told us that after we left, they spoke to the older woman, told us that she was not allowed in the shop anymore and they wrote an incident report. If the workers spoke to the older woman and wrote an incident report, what really happened? When we called, no questions were asked for our side of the story. He then offered our next drinks on the house. I understand that it was a lot to take in at the moment, but for a coffee shop that does not tolerate racism, we were just disappointed with the outcome and no immediate action was taken when we told the shop she was being racist.

I absolutely love Philz coffee, it's my favorite to go to especially to treat myself on days when I need more caffeine. I usually get mint mojito with creamy and light sugar; or my second favorites are tesora or philharmonic both with creamy and light sugar; that's my jam right there! So delicious! Their customer service is on point, it's pretty quick, And always delicious.Parking: it's on the street by the shop, but there is plenty of parking.

This is the coffee shop to go to when you're waiting in line to get into Farmhouse Thai or Son and Garden next door.It seems pretty chill here and I think it would be a great hangout spot especially for students.I got an iced decaf coffee with light cream and sugar and though it was delicious. It was very creamy as usual and had a nice almost mocha flavor to it. My go-to drink is usually an iced mocha Tesora so I was surprised that this drink tasted somewhat similar and very tasty. I don't remember what the actual coffee bean they used was - the person at the counter explained that the decaf menu was slightly out of date so he told me the name of the blend.. which I didn't actually catch.Would stop by again!

If you understand coffee beans and how to brew coffee, this place is for you. If you are looking for a latte or something simple, this is not the place. This is also not the place to bring kids or senior citizens. It's loud and slippery. Saw a kid slip and fall here the other day, bust his lip open and bleed all over. None of the 5 baristas seemed to notice.

Nice place I've visited occasionally; there are dog water dishes on the floor inside so I assumed it was dog-friendly. I've gone in before with my dog to join friends; sun shining in the windows during the early morning hours make it bright; service, hot chocolate and pastries are good. The last time I went there I noticed the "no dogs except service animals" on the door and didn't even go in. I wonder this about several places where customers have to order inside, but say they are "dog-friendly" because they allow dogs at outside tables. How are we supposed to patronize them if we can't order anything? After reading about stolen dogs who were tied up briefly outside a business, I'm reluctant to leave my dog alone, so I probably won't patronize Philz.
