Philz Coffee

I absolutely love this store. The staff is amazing. I even met the manager and he is so kind and helpful! Will definitely be making this store my regular coffee shop.

Sooo happy to have Philz in our neighborhood! Very friendly staff, nice layout! Yummy snacks and the best coffee!

Thanks for cleaning the dumpsters and for the good service.

Soooooo happy that Philz opened a location on Lakeshore. Nice chill vibes, a variety of people coming in to work, socialize, play chess, drink coffee, etc. It's my new go-to spot when I need to focus and get some work done. I'd love if they brought in more big comfy chairs :) Philz coffee takes a little longer than a standard coffee shop, so if you need an order quickly, I'd submit it in advance of your arrival.

Amazing coffee shop with great atmosphere. The only struggle is really the parking but other than that great place to relax and hang out

No longer driving to College Ave has saved me a ton of time. While parking can be a little tricky, this location is exactly what this neighborhood needs. TJs, Philz, and a Farmer’s market all make for a perfect Saturday off Lakeshore.

I'm a fan of Philz since 2015. So excited that my fav coffee shop opened in Lakeshore. It's a nice space with refreshing interiors. Great for a quick bite! I've literally tried everything on their menu. I love their Mocha tesora , mint mojito and philtered soul the best! I went when there wasn't much rush so the service was super quick. My barista was friendly.. I'm going to be a regular! P.s- parking might be a challenge during peak hours.

love this new philz location (maybe even my new favorite) !! the baristas are super friendly and the overall vibes are great too. I love sitting on their little patio, the neighbourhood and community around is really pleasant

If you want to get coffee before work this is not the place. If you place an online order they won’t start preparing it until the supposed pick up time- which is 15 minutes from the time you order. Given that it takes 10-15 minutes to make a stinking cup of coffee it’s unacceptable.

Really confused by the very LOUD music choices. What do you mean you’re BLASTING Pink at 8:30 in the morning? Do they really not want people hanging out or working here? It’s too bad because otherwise it would be really pleasant but could you just play something more mellow?

Very nice to work but very over priced I got one large cold brew for 8$!

If I could be honest with y’all, there’s only two words that could describe this Philz location in the hills of Oakland: mixed thoughts. This Philz Coffee is very much a vibe, and they make the best drinks, but its customer service is very questionable to say otherwise. While I’ve had good experiences here before in terms of guest interaction, there are times where I don’t feel welcome (despite their poster saying that everyone is treated equal in the establishment). The recent time that I went to order a tiramisu latte from this location, I was met with glares from not only the customers, but also from the staff as well. I was told to wait in line when there was clearly nothing big going on (no long lines, no online delivery orders constantly popping off on the receipt dash). Mind you, I had to wait 10 minutes to ORDER a cup of coffee — and I was the only person standing in line, while the baristas were chatting it up while making it coffee. Please make it make sense. The tiramisu latte that was made was honestly questionable — while I had asked for oat milk, they put whole milk in there instead. The details really matter a lot to me, and I had wished they heeded my preference over just making a drink. There was a lot of attitude thrown at not just me, but with other customers alike who were after me as well. The people taking orders were very unnice and unprofessional, and it didn’t really align with what I had in mind. Thinking about the future, I am questioning whether or not I will come to this location again for my coffee.

Good coffee but takes a VERY long time for your order to come out. There was only three people in front of me in line, but it took me 35 minutes to get a simple pour over. Their method of individually grinding the beans and doing a pour over means that it can take a very long time to get your drink. And it’s pretty overpriced for just a pour over.

Ordered a large iced mint mojito. The coffee is not as strong as the other Philz. It seems watered down. This has to be corrected.

INCREDIBLY SLOW. People who ordered after me got their drinks before me (and one of the drinks was the same as mine) which is very upsetting when you’ve waited long enough. The lady who took my order was very nice but the baristas are not friendly. Also unsanitary as the male barista with glasses keeps touching his face and glasses and while doing drink prep. My drink wasn’t even good. Don’t come to this locations

I give it a one and I’m glad that I can because of the young man that took my order at the register. I tipped him, but there was a woman in front making the coffee and my partner made a simple mistake of thinking that her name was one of the orders and she picked it up. When she apologized, the woman stared at her as if she hated her guts. We didn’t come there for that in particular and it was insanely noticeable. She didn’t accept the apology, just a really negative stare or gaze. Wasn’t warranted for a simple mistake & in customer service and serving, attitude reflects what you sale or serve. Please fix this problem in the workplace because that was ridiculous

Trash dumpsters make the Philz area gross. Smells horrible and there are rats nested in the dumpsters. So gross!
