I am not sure where my initial review of Philz on Golden Gate is located but it's worth a second review. The location on Golden Gate is near my favorite sandwich spot (Saigon Sandwich). This location is always busy I think because of the Federal building. This location is fast, busy, and energetic. The staff members are all very friendly and customer service oriented. I love coffee shops at this capacity and vibrancy.

Used to love drinking Philz Iced Mint Mojito when I lived in San Francisco. Visiting the city close to a decade later, it’s still pretty amazing. Really enjoyed this delightful drink. Unfortunately, this location is located fairly close to some dangerous blocks within the city.

I came into this café not expecting much. But I ordered the rose coffee and wow. The floral taste was very strong but it was really GOOD that I thought maybe I should have ordered a medium and not a small. I’m looking forward to trying all the flavors there! The store is decorated beautifully and it’s nice and cozy. The store is very spacious and also includes working outlets and wifi! There are plenty of seats for the customers and is nicely air conditioned. The workers were all so very kind :) The only bad thing I would point out is that the bathroom is extremely dirty but other than that, this will be my go-to coffee spot! <3 (BETTER THAN PEET’S IMO)

Fantastic coffee selection. The only option is pour-over. No espresso-based drinks, but if you are looking for top-quality coffee, this is the place. About a dozen different beans to choose from and every coffee is made to order from scratch. Highly recommend!

It's a very cool coffee shop with some hipster vibes. :) It was highly recommended by many friends, so I decided to give it a try. I don't regret it! :) We had two delicious cold coffees: Mint Mojito and Ice Coffee Rosé. Very tasty and good combination! Also, we ate a croissant with almonds and a blueberry muffin. They offer to heat the food if you want. Both pastries were very good! The service is quick and the line goes fast, so try to decide what you want to order when your time comes. The staff doesn't offer much explanation if you don't know the details. #tip: I noticed it's possible to order via app being at the store and just pick up it at the counter when it's ready. I didn't try yet, but saw many people ordering this way. The store is very spacious with tables, chairs, small sofas, and some armchairs to get comfortable. I liked the experience and would come back easily. The entrance is compatible with wheelchair users and they offer all-gender bathroom.

I really appreciated the staff and vibe of this Philz located near the Civic Center. The cafe was pretty full and there was always a line; the staff here did a really good job welcoming in customers and giving each customer awesome service at the register and at the hand-off. I will definitely be back! I ordered a dancing water iced coffee and it did not disappoint!

Best coffee I've ever had. Give yourself a minute to wait, and the wait is worth it! I'm rarely in the City, but I always hit Philz as much as possible while I'm here, and take some beans home to hopefully replicate the experience.

The coffee was fantastic, but the cinnamon roll and the burrito were just ok! Great service and atmosphere. I even bought a bag of coffee to go!

Tastes good, but it takes a long time to get your order. Plenty of seating. No pets allowed inside, but there are a few tables outside. They accept mobile order. Bathroom has a 5 minute limit.

Good service and very decent coffee. I specifically like the sitting areas, feels comfortable.

I love, love, love mint Mojito iced coffee; so refreshingly wonderful! And I'm having as many as I can as I don't get Philz where I'm from. Spacious venue with reasonable amount of seating area. Staff are pretty friendly and helpful. The surrounding neighbourhood feels a bit rough though.

I had 30 minutes before the Asian Art Museum opened and needed somewhere to hang. Seems like a neighborhood bar as I noticed a few folks greet other with with familiarity. Lots of electrical outlets so I suspect that it gets packed during the workweek. The downside is that when I asked for the code for the restroom but it took forever so I left without getting it. Never had that issue when I’ve asked for the code at the other locations.

I love Philz coffee but it takes forever it seems since it is all pour over coffees. But that is the charm of the place and why the coffee is so good in my opinion. Just don’t go there running late for work and expect a quick in and out experience.

Had to try it out. I’m not sure it’s because I had high expectations for everything because it was for the first time in 4 years visiting the States or it was just a mediocre coffee house… Mint mojito coffee (hot) - Weak tasting coffee. No aroma. I was expecting something really refreshing or a bit festive as it says “mint mojito” coffee. Not my liking. I don’t know what all the fuss is about… Such a shame. Cashier was really friendly and sweet, the vibe at the coffee house was quite nice though. Note: takes a while to get your coffee

Ordered a hot Mocha Tesoro, tasted more like hot cocoa watered way down with a lot of sugar (ordered medium sweet) it was way too sweet, couldn’t even finish the drink. I can’t even imagine what sweet would be like. Virtually no taste or aroma or richness of any coffee. Perhaps a straight cup of coffee would have been better, fancy recipe didn’t taste fancy at all. And it was pretty pricey for two cups of coffee with tip, like that of a meal. Sorry Won’t be coming back.

The coffee specialty drinks I’ve had were usually good at other locations. On Saturday Dec 6, 2025 I walked in and payed nearly 8 bucks for the oatmeal cookie drink and I requested for it to be sweet and creamy. The drink was not sweet, it lacked flavor and it wasn’t creamy it was too watery. The drink tasted like water with cinnamon. I wasted my cash

Wonderful coffee. Friendly staff. Terribly managed. Would have left but was with an out of town visitor that really wanted Philz. 20 minutes wait just to give our order. Then another ten minutes for the coffee. THIRTY MINUTES for a cup of coffee. Yes, bad days happen, staffing problems are real. Hire more people and DON'T TAKE ONLINE ORDERS if you can't take care of in store customers. It wasn't even that busy.

I was here 6 months ago and I still think of this place in anger. Worst coffee I've had in my life. Literally couldn't drink it for the first 10 minutes it was so hot and then when we could finally dump it into our bodies it was more burnt than my house that burned down 4 years ago. We drank two sips and just had to throw it out to not consuming that poison. Also the barista made fun of my name.
