What to write about. Everyone knows it. Good coffee, too many people to work and talk. Nice staff ...

What a great coffee stop! My wife and I were looking for any cafe in DTPA with seating available on a Saturday late morning, which actually was a big ask. Fortunately, Philz had some seating which we promptly jumped on and got some coffees. I loved the mint coffee with a little sprig of mint leaf in it, and my wife got a standard brewed coffee which she also said was pretty solid. The staff were really friendly and chatty, which I find often isn't the case. After a nice convo about some local palo alto news, I promptly got our coffees and we enjoyed the vibe while reading/working for a little while. Of note, the table was actually designed to be comfortable for people above ~5'5" or so. I am ~6'0" and find far too many coffee shops have tiny furniture which is really uncomfortable for me. Overall, a very pleasant experience, and I look forward to coming back.

Ok. I love Philz. I love their coffee. I have since I first stepped into the original location in the Mission. I stayed a loyal customer. Had it in Noe. Palo Alto. South Palo Alto. Menlo Park. Love this location and how convenient it is. There's even often parking right there. What I don't like is how wait times have gotten so long since the pandemic that it's almost impossible to have an impromptu coffee there. You have to PLAN AHEAD. Which means I almost never go anymore. I did get to go this morning however, at 7am. There are no lines. My ether with cream was ready super fast. Smooth and dark and warm. The almond croissant was perfect. There was seating available. Perfect life achieved. Thanks Philz.

First time there, ordered Aromatic Arabic, so good, lot better than the two big franchises. Can’t wait to try the other flavors.

I love their mint mojito coffee, sweet & creamy version. It’s a treat I get @ least once a week n it takes me 2 days to finish it. Sometimes I get the Twice baked almond croissant for a nice breakfast when I’m craving sweet on top of sweet! Definitely give it a try next time, either you’ll like it or u won’t. Be I love it!

Excellent staff and coffee, 2 cups of silken splendor and dancing water kept me going for 8 hours!

Oh, don't ask for a latte or cappuccino. They don't serve those....they have a whole level up from the default. My new fav coffee destination!

Great selection of very specific coffees. I had a drip coffee that they added cream and sugar to. When I consumed it, it tasted like a specialty espresso drink, not a drip coffee. I really liked this shop and will be back for sure. Their breakfast foods were divine, as well. Give it a try!

Cool but coffee is too flavored for me, I cannot put on my own milk. Outside seating is close to the fast moving traffic on Alma - no parking, no shoulder. You'll want noise canceling headphones

Not a big coffee guy expected something and got something else I should probably request for someone to help navigate my taste with the menu as the menu means nothing to me as a first timer there.

The secret sauce to the Stanford smarts! Flavorful and ESG friendly coffee and food that power the brainiacs in Palo Alto. My must visit every time I’m in town. Don’t forget the staff. They’re knowledgeable and on it.

Placed order for to go by app. I arrived at mentioned time. Order was not ready even the place was not busy. When asked about order they informed your order will be placed there. The guy named Jesus literally made order past 10 mins of order when seeing I was asking about it. Wasn't professional at all wrt time!!
