Philz Coffee

DO NOT GO HERE. This place is extremely popular on social media and the atmosphere is great but DO NOT DRINK THE COFFEE. The coffee tasted great but an hour later I VIOLENTLY THREW UP. THREE OTHER PEOPLE in my group felt very ill after visiting this establishment as well. THE MINIMAL REQUIREMENT of a coffee place is for me not to see it again. If I wanted to taste the coffee again I would have gone down to universal. If I could give this -5 stars I would.

Philz is great. Warning if you've never been there: there is no steamed milk anywhere. Select a coffee flavor and decide how much cream or sugar you want. Those are your choices. Oh, and there are some iced coffee options... but no blenders. Just cream and/or sugar.

Say you want it "Philz way" for medium cream and medium sugar.

If this lack of choice offends you, great! More coffee for the rest of us!

To be one of the few coffee establishments open that early, 5:30am, is very convenient for me. It's hard to find good coffee brewed by good people so early. They are very attentive and ask if your drink is to your liking. There's more care taken into creating your drink of choice. Thank you guys!

NO LONGER DOG FRIENDLY. I have been a frequent customer for the Santa Monica location, buying brewed coffee and bags of beans and brining my dog along with me. The location has now posted a sign saying dogs are not allowed. I will be forced to take my business to Starbucks who, though corporate, will allow me to buy a cup of coffee with my dog with me.

One of my fav coffee spots. Love Philz and am excited They have expanded to the East Coast where I live. Always hit this place when I am visiting SaMo. Every coffee is handmade to order. High quality coffee. Won't disappoint

I've been coming here since 2015. Faithful, I came in today, and I asked to use the restroom, which needs a code. I asked the young lady at the counter where to-go orders are picked up. She looked me up and down and took a breath, and “decided” to give me the code. I used the restroom; it didn't sit with me well. I confronted her, and she said she didn't do that. I stopped going there. I'd instead make my coffee then get judged by the barista, lol.

Cool spot to come get some coffee. It's good to hang out and study or catch up with a friend for a while. But you better come early because people will stay for hours at a time and you might not get a seat at all. There are so many coffees to choose from and I like that they have fresh mint to put in the coffee.

Philz makes really great coffee one cup at a time. Literally, you order the type of coffee you want and then the Barista in front of you will get the beans and brew the one coffee right there. Although they have some specialty drinks, they're mostly known for plain cup of coffee with simple sugar and cream if you like. They have a large selection of light, medium and dark roasts to choose from.

Barista was friendly and knew her stuff. MADE TWO AMAZING MINT MOJITOS!. Will be back. Thank you.

Best mojito iced coffee I've ever had. Yeah its 5 bucks and a little over priced, but it's delicious. Drinks might vary on whoever your server is and the wait can be a bit long. But if you've got time and money definitely check out Philz.
