Best coffee in Bay Area. No jokes. You won't ever want to go to Starbucks or Peet's (sic!) after Philz. Wide variety of light and medium roasts. For those who prefer burnt beans there are choices also

Doug Baer

Start with a Tesora then work your way darker/lighter to find your favorite. Single cup brewing takes time. Be patient! It's worth the extra time. The cookies are awesome: try the candied popcorn one.

Dan

Best coffee in the Bay Area. People used to talk about BB until it was bought. I’ve been to sightglass and others but Philz is the best.

Don Vanco

I'm a fan of the Dancing Water, but I can't imagine that if you pick a range of roast that suits your palate you will be disappointed. I'm in town about 6 times a year & make sure it's near a Philz.

Renee Teefive

This is a very popular Philz. It is always busy. Many people do their work here while having their coffee .

Noah Weiss

Iced mint mojito , free wifi , and huge outdoor seating make this the perfect place to work as you bounce between meetings in the South Bay .

Julie F

Get a cup of 1/2 ether and 1/2 philtered soul . The super smokiness of the ether with the hint of hazelnut in the p.s. is amazing. They'll totally make it for you. Just ask!

Foli

Enjoy some of the best coffee in the bay ! Make sure to get a Mint Mojito iced coffee on a hot day, and read complimentary magazines, provided by Foli, on your iPad while you sip!

Koji KOMATSU

My favorite coffee shop in the bay area. If you don't like acid taste, New Manhattan is must-try. Mint Mojito Ice Coffee is also awesome. Free Wifi is available.

Paps

Unlike any coffee I’ve had before! The rose and mint mojito iced coffees were unreal! So delicious

Nikos Antiporda

Expertly crafted coffee by the baristas. Try there Iced Mocha or Mojito which is perfect on a hot day because its mostly outside seating at this location.

Henry Li

Must have the Ether blend if you like dark roast coffee . Smoky, earthy & nutty with hints of dark chocolate . Add some cream and grab a seat outside for a nice, chill afternoon!

Sam Sabri

The mint mojito (iced coffee ) is literally the best thing ever. Ever. Try it out if you've never had one before.

m d

A nice cozy coffee shop . Take seats outside . The one with mint is their signature.

Doug Baer

Awesome coffee and good tea . No cold brew , no espresso , no milkshakes

Ankur Ahuja

This place seems to always be packed! The wait's pretty long, but I'm trying the Mint Mojito Iced Coffee as per the recommendation of every live Yelper. Definitely worth the wait :)

David Calhoun

1) park at the liquor store lot 2) buy a bag of coffee and get a free small coffee (might for a limited time only). 3) bring your own cup and you only pay small coffee prices!

Emily Allender

This place is great for us rare, non-coffee drinkers too! Try the green mint herbal tea with a little brown sugar--it's delicious!

Katie Yamada

Fantastic and unique coffee shop , must try the mint mojito drink!!!

Bob F.

Step right up to a barista for your fresh brew and pay at the register after. Try the pastries , too. They'll destroy your diet.

Omer Zach

Try the Tesora your first time, and go light on the sugar (and consider light cream even if you normally take it black).

Elaine Courtney

Silken Splendor medium medium + turkey sausage sammy with pepper sauce . My default breakfast , and absolutely. The. Best.

Daljeet Virdi

pro tip: mix blends. philtered soul + dancing water is a great mix.

Frederik

Amazing coffee , try the philharmonic or turkish with cardamon . It adds a great fruity , orange-like flavor. Best coffee I've ever had!

Azwandi Aris

Mint mojito

Chad Compton

best coffee in Palo Alto. The staff is also great!

Ilian Georgiev

The mint mojito and sunny outdoor seating will make you happy

Tom Maxwell

Philz has cold brew now! It’s very good.

Susan Cannon

NO espresso drinks available... http://www.missionmission.org/2013/09/17/dont-order-a-double-mocha-at-philz-or-everyone-will-laugh-at-you/

Christoffer Petersen

Big fan of this place, best coffee and lots of power plugs outside if you need to charge your computer etc.

Meghan Howe

Besides the obvious mint mojito , I suggest staying to hang & listen to the music ! Great vibe & music !!

David Nelson

My all time favorite coffee place . Large New Manhattan , just cream, all day.

Renee Budak

Philz is a very popular hangout. Delicious coffee . Very helpful and friendly staff .

Nora Chang

Delicious coffee , expect a line , can be a little intimidating the first time.

MetroSeeker.com

Take home a bag of the Philharmonic ! It is a great medium bodied coffee that is perfectly balanced. A great way to start your day!

David ☕️ Klein

The original Palo Alto Philz. Much more relaxing than the Forest Ave. location.

Sushmitha Kini

Try the Tesoro-Ether blend with medium milk . One of the best "lattes " I have had. And a warning - you will not see latter-mocha-espresso on their menu - so be prepared to be frowned upon :)

Bob F.

Try the New Manhattan blend, it's a great morning taste for light roast fans.

Joseph Pereira

Best of the best..the outside seating energy is out of this world! Joey, Anthony and Liz are AWESOME!!

Nana

Philharmonic and soo good are my faves

Sebastian Fiedler

Get the Greater Alarm for maximum caffeine intake and the Turkish for the best flavor. Unbeatable!

Kaso Awesome Time

This place lives up to its reputation! A true experience and great coffee

Mike Query

If you're going to get a plain black tea , make sure to drop one of these bad boys in

Jenny

I am a coffee lover, Peets convert to Philz, I look forward to it everyday and go out of my way to get it. My Drink: Blend of Greater Alarm and Philtered Soul -- Amazing

Renee Budak

Excellent coffee . Nice atmosphere. Excellent coffee preparers. Delicious pastries .

Renee Budak

Philz has great coffee and is a fun place to hang out with the local techies.

Gracie Binder

Try a half Philtered Soul half Silken Splendor with cinnamon in the filter. It will change your life!

Anne Heit

This is the best coffee I've had in years. Each cup is custom made to your liking and is made right in front of you in a single drip cup. It is amazing! Read more

Joseph Pereira

Best outdoor seating for a coffee shop , and of course the best coffee !

schneidermike schneidermike

Be careful. The coffee is delicious and packs heart exploding power! Drink half your normal dose.
