    I have high standards in coffee as I'm from Australia and the coffee there is SO different compared to Philz. So saying Philz is good is amazing for SF. Great menu and friendly professional staff.

    The iced mint mojito is what iced coffee dreams are made of. Is it weird I have those dreams occasionally?

    Always expect a line. This place is super busy, for good reason. Some of the best coffee around. Get the Mint Mojito Iced Coffee, sweet and creamy - you won't be disappointed.

    Coffee with a twist.Liked the Ecstatic iced coffee and the hot Gingersnap 👍🏻. Very busy spot, but worth it.

    I totally loved their coffee and service. They serve high quality hand crafted coffee. I loved their minto mojitos iced coffee. But i personally prefer the taste of blue bottle coffee over Philz.

    No frills here. Good coffee. Cream. Sugar. That's it, & that's all you need to have the best day ever. Philtered Soul with medium cream & sugar is my go-to. Also try an apricot bar warmed up...heaven.

    My favorite Philz location. Nice staff, great pour-over coffee. Seating is sparse.

    Great iced rose and mint mojito latte as well as black coffee. They add a mint leaf to some of them which not everyone may like

    Coffee at its best. Unique blends, knowledgeable & friendly baristas, intriguing combos of coffee with spice, herbs or fruit. Jacobs Wonderbar & Iced Mint Mojito Coffee (mint+coffee!) - both winners.

    Omg!! This is the best coffee ever! Well worth the trip here, I know it sounds crazy but it is like butter. It leaves a little buttery finish in the back of your palate. Amazing coffee!

    Best. Coffee. Try the tesora, you won't regret it. Butter in your coffee just makes it heavenly. Always long lines and coffee is made individually so takes a little time.

    Long wait and really pricey coffee but each one is made to order! Got the iced mint mojito and it was tasty. Will try Reg iced coffee next time. 4/5

    Their coffee is excellent, but if you go there every day, be prepared for a wildly inconsistent coffee experience. Using Order Ahead is convenient, but they goof up on orders consistently.

    Three tips: 1. Orderahead to avoid the wait 2. Get the cookie heated. Ask for extra napkins, it's messy but so good. 3. When crossing the street, have one hand free to avoid a Marilyn Monroe moment.

    Mint mojito iced coffee is a perfect example of a coffee treat done right. Single brew shop w/many choices in roasts you can customize. Long lines but great service. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

    Don't get this whole "phenomenon": coffee is at best average (except the Ice Mojito, which I do agree is great), service is mostly unstreamlined and "posy". Saving grace: pastries and food are good

    My favorite coffee shop! I recommend the mocha tessora, and black tea with mint. It gets crowded and parking (street parking) is hard to find

    For even the non-reg coffee drinker, still easy to enjoy their diverse and tasty brews. "It's The Best" lives up to its name.

    So I think I don’t completely get it. Just seems like a Starbucks, with more coffee flavours which is not a bad thing. But any place where I have a choice between large and larger is not for me.

    Ask the barista with a beard for a "code 33some" - code 33, philtered soul, and hazelnut with cinnamon in the filter. Just do it.
