Philz Coffee - Colma

There is a worker who takes order sometimes. I’ve noticed couple of times that when she sees me approaching the order counter, she moved away from order counter and tried to avoid me for as long as possible. After a few minutes, she came back to take my order.

Philz is very inconsistent. I got the winter bliss 2 different times for my gf and I. Both times had different issues. The first time, coffee was Luke warm, and I had ordered inside. The second time, it had no spice or foam like the display and had WAY to much chocolate in it. The chocolate was all I could taste, that when I got home I made more coffee for the both of us to drown out the chocolate and it didn't work. This place is overpriced, and a small coffee shop can make a better pour over for the same price. Or go cheaper and just get coffee from McDonald's around the corner.

Need a place to get some work done? Or to catch up with some friends? Well, this is the place for you. Philz Coffee is one of my favorite coffee shops to visit anytime I’m back in the Bay Area. The first time I was introduced to Philz was on Tik Tok. People were raving about the Mint Mojito and so my mom and I paid a visit. Unfortunately, the Mint Mojito wasn’t my cup of coffee. Perhaps my taste buds were off or the coffee wasn’t brewed correctly. A sour taste was left in my mouth, but I decided to give Philz a second chance. With hope in my mind and a second chance ready to be given out the Iced Coffee Rosé was chosen. This drink was also raved about on Tik Tok. My mom loved it but I imagined the taste to be different, so it was also a no go for me. At this point I was ready to give up. Little did I know how downloading the app would change my opinion.After another day of hanging out with mom we decided to stop by Philz again. The waiting area was filled with people so we decided to download the app to order ahead. Little hope remained but as I was scrolling through the menu an item caught my eye. It wasn’t on the menu in store so I decided to give it a try. We paid and waited for a couple of minutes before we headed inside to pick up the goods. As we walked out I took a sip and was prepared for more disappointment. But wow! My taste buds were dancing and I had to do a double take on the label on my cup. So, you may be wondering, what is the name of such an amazing drink? The answer is an Iced Honey Haze. A coffee brewed strongly, cooled with creamy oat milk, and finished with a drizzle of honey. Perfection. Ever since that day it has been my go to order. Never strayed away to another drink. With every visit I leave with satisfaction and a great cup of coffee.(I had to create a review for an English assignment which is why my review is quite long. I do love Philz Coffee though).

What a depressing place. All these young people yet zero energy add to it nobody looks like want to work.

The most convoluted coffee order ever.Ordered a coffee and cookie and somehow had get in line twice at the counter to get my order. Staff had wonderful singing voice yet unfortunately not wonderfully helpful, could not find any info on the types of coffee served, which I remember Philz being famous for this. Was the coffee I finally received good; yes it was! However, the experience and frustration means I probably won't be returning soon.
