"This by far the best Philz Coffee I have had. They are fast yet take care to make a great cup of coffee. I loved the fresh blending of beans and the pour over. I enjoy my coffee black and they make the best! Plus the atmosphere is welcoming and decor is great! Everyone was friendly - it was a great experience even though I just went for a cup of coffee!"

"I was in the Castro and craved a cup of hot chocolate, and Philz was right around the corner and right within my budget. Their hot chocolate isn’t my favorite, but they are in my top 10. I had a small hot chocolate with light sweetness and it met my expectations. The employees were so delightful, and I’m happy to see Philz support the people of the Castro district and its pride culture. It’s a really warm and welcoming place to grab a drink. Overall, 4/5."

"Can you be more blown away by a simple cup of coffee? Here maybe you can. I loved it and fell for their dedication to honouring such a beloved civic Leader. Long live the Castro!"

"The specialty coffee was meh. It was just flavour syrup in americano and warm milk. The coffee itself is good and so would stick to normal latte. The bagel was great with a healthy serving of packaged cream cheese. This Castro location is rustic and the staff is friendly."

"Their tagline is “we do coffee differently”, and I’d say maybe if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I’m a daily coffee drinker, but my taste is pretty simple: drip coffee, an americano or a latte is my go-to order. Philz apparently doesn’t think these options are good ones to offer at a coffee shop. I ordered a named coffee the barista recommended. I didn’t love it. Tasted like those coffee machine from gas stations that fill the cup with powder, then a dark liquid. Drank only half of mine. My travel partner loved their mocha, for what it’s worth."
