Philz! If you watch the show Silicon Valley and remember the episode where the computer engineers would work for a company based on what coffee they serve. Yes, Philz and Blue Bottle are a real thing. Philz in Aliso Viejo is perfect since it's near my gym and more convenient than the Costa Mesa location. Please please open a location in Irvine. I am not trying to over hype Philz but this coffee shop is my happiness in a cup. Every sip reminds me of the bay area and gives me super powers like I can program a new video game or launch a tech start up. I don't work in tech anymore but the magic is still there. My go to are the Mint Mojito and Philtered Soul lightly sweetness. I usually get the drinks cold but sometimes I like it hot like me. Philz is not your average coffee. Unlike the overpriced milk shake with a shot of coffee and a green hair logo, Philz has actually baristas that make customized coffee. By customized coffee, I don't me colors and sugary syrups. I am talking about pour over coffee that can be made hot or cold. These mystical baristas are like bartenders of coffee. I love how every barista will ask you how the drink taste and let me know if you like it. The answer is always yes, but I have had bad orders at other coffee shops and it usually not worth the hassle to make adjustments. One thing that might improve the in person experience could be the addition using a dine in coffee mug. I feel like Philz is always a take out transaction and I get it we are busy people changing the world, but having a better in person experience for people looking to just lounge would elevate the experience. I get it some people will think this place is all hype or expensive. Well that's on you. I am going to enjoy my coffee treat. I would recommend giving Philz a try if you are looking for a new coffee experience. Also, ordering drinks and food from the Philz app is super convenient. read more

Philz Coffee is always a good option for a solid drink! Was happy to see this location just around the corner from where I was staying in Aliso Viejo. This shop is located in the commons within the common plaza next to a boba shop and near the climbing wall. In front of the coffee shop is a very large parking lot but can be quite busy. . This coffee shop is amazing as the drinks are made to the individual person. Design to your sweetness, strength and other preference. I fancy going here for my Chai where I can get a solid non syrup made one with the proper amount of hone and cream. And for good measures a mint in thrown into the drink. If you are looking for some more unique drinks, there is also plenty to be had at this shop. This is a good location as the shop is larger than most. Good amount of seating inside and out. Plus great art work to catch your eye. Note the shop is not fast as drinks are custom made. And the shop is not cheap, as a cup of coffee can set you back by 5 dollars. What I can tell you is that you'll receive a solid drinlk read more

ICED MINT MOJITO (large/"creamy cream"/sweet sugar): -- they need to add choosing your ice quantity to the request list...mine was 2/3 ice today -- I will try the "medium sugar" next time as this was most definitely a bit too sweet for my current palate -- I like the super creamy factor -- pronounced mojito flavor -- ample mint leaves, some fresh, some dark -- very aromatic and tasty -- not bitter nor sour RATING = A Friendly staff. read more

Today (07/25/26), like every other visit was so pleasant. The employees are nice and professional. I often order through the app (which is easy to navigate). The strawberry matcha was really good and the Honey Haze was a creamy delight. The bacon egg bites were delicious and cooked to perfection. The place was busy and music playing; overall wonderful atmosphere. read more

Philz is always such a great treat; I don't have any near me so I like to pop in whenever I find one while traveling. This Aliso Viejo location was great - I missed getting the name of the cashier but she was friendly, chatted with us about the neighborhood, and also gave me tips on how to best use my rewards account. The mojito was excellent as always - I was tempted to try the butterscotch but I get Philz so rarely I couldn't not get my tried and true! The space overall is bright and clean and pleasant to sit and enjoy your drink. I also particularly loved the tiny plastic ducks at the register! read more

Philz Coffee - Mojito - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

My very first encounter discovering Philz Coffee was when I was visiting my besties in SF and boyyy did they have me hooked at my first sip. I'm a bit of a self-proclaimed coffee addict, so when I heard all the hype and reviews about this coffee shoppe, I HAD to give it a try. My ultimate fav, go-to drink is the deelish iced mint mojito. OMFG..it's sooo good. The fresh mint and coffee combo just hits you like no other. It's perfectly sweet and creamy, no adjustments are ever needed. It's smooth like a criminal. On days when I need a breakfast on-the-go, I grab a butter croissant, ham & cheese croissant or a banana bread also. All satisfying options, in my opinion. You can never go wrong with their warmed up pastries. Fresh and yums! I was particularly super excited when this Philz Coffee opened up in SoCal ~ because it meant that I didn't have to wait to visit SF to get another taste or drive all the way to South Coast Plaza (their other OC location). Now I could indulge in a cup when I eat next door at Marugame and/or visit my mom (who lives in the area). The best of both worlds. This store is located in the up & coming new Commons at Aliso Viejo plaza ~ next to the likes of Marugame, OMOMO and 99 Ranch. Parking is plentiful, so need not worry friends. The store is spacious, open and inviting. There is cute, happy vibes decor on the wall. There are plenty of tables to chill or study ~ inside and/or on the small patio. The staff were super friendly & efficient. And the prices are comparable to Starbucks and other usual coffee joints..so I don't mind paying for quality brew. Philz Coffee is 100% a RxFoodie recommend!!! Come and get hooked like me..it's a game changer, trust! read more

I love Philiz Coffee and am so happy to see that there is one in Aliso now! The quality is top tier and just as good as other locations i've visited in Norcal. My favorites are the mint mojito and honey haze. I recently tried a sip of the iced coffee rose which wasn't for me, but my husband liked it. He even asked for more rose flavor. The coffee shop has a big sitting area if you want to get some work done too. read more

Philz is known for their good coffee and good coffee takes time! However, on a Sunday morning, doing mobile order, there was no wait!! I walked in right as the barista was pouring my coffees. The parking lot is huge, with some several 20 minute spots, EV charging stations and carpool stops. Most of the businesses in the shopping center are new and just opening, so parking was a breeze! The ambiance of the Aliso Viejo Philz is bright, warm and friendly! The baristas working had a fun banter and engaged with customers well! The bathrooms were clean and easy to access with the code. Seating was comfortable and there was a variety of seating options inside: coaches, tables, and different types of chairs. Outside seating had umbrellas. This bright spot in the beige landscape of the Commons is a beacon of light serving delicious coffee, one cup at a time! My go-to order: an iced Soul Train - it is a Philtered Soul with Cinnamon in the filter and a little bit of hazelnut beans. It is a chef's kiss coffee! read more

Love this new location! I stopped to grab a coffee this morning before work and it was conveniently located. Plenty of parking out front. I was surprised that there wasn't a large crowd waiting inside during the morning rush. They were quick, friendly, and gave suggestions with new Fall drinks. I got an iced Tesora medium sweet, which tasted great. There were also plenty of tables and seating inside for working which I thought was nice. I'll definitely be back to this location. read more

Newly opened in the Commons plaza. Surprisingly enough, you were able to already mobile order on the app for food and drinks! As to be expected on opening day, they were a little behind (won't fault them for that). What we got: - Honey Haze (2/5): I've had this drink before at other locations, which is why I'm giving it at the lower end of a rating. So, I "know" what it is supposed to taste like. When I tasted it, it tasted a bit burnt/bitter and lacking of any sweetener for something called honey. - Iced Coffee Rose (5/5): This drink didn't taste burnt AND had sweetener. I love rose coffee and will be ordering this from now on. - Crookie (2/5): Yeah uh... to me, this pastry tasted kind of stale? The croissant part was not flaky and the cookie part tasted odd. I don't think this would have even tasted better if it were toasted. The store itself is spacious and plenty of seating. The drinks and food are a hit or miss, but I like the Iced Coffee Rose so much I'm willing to give this place another chance since it is the closest location to me. read more

Philz Coffee - Drinks and the crookie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

Went to Philz this morning Everyone working was super nice, friendly and helpful! There were lots of samples being passed out (mint mojito/ crookie- croissant & cookie) and all were delicious! I ordered the Honey Haze, I didn't see it was iced, I expected it to be hot (the ice cubes are huge so I feel like I paid for less coffee in a large.) Next time I'll be asking for no ice lol the drink was absolutely delicious regardless. I also got the turkey sausage breakfast sandwich, which was okay! Everyone was saying the burritos were better, so next time I'll try that. Tons of people were working on their laptops. Seems like a great place to work from for an hour or two if you WFH. Definitely glad it here now and I'll be back read more

First time visit to Philz coffee. While I didn't order any danishes they looked yummy! I ordered their Mocha Tesoro, iced with light sugar and it was very good! I would definitely return to try their danishes and other coffee drinks. Nice seating area and wall artwork makes for a bright happy ambience. read more

I absolutely love coming to Philz, and my go-to is always the Iced Honey Haze! They make it so perfectly balanced every time--smooth, creamy, and just the right touch of sweetness from the honey. It's honestly one of the tastiest coffee drinks I've ever had. I'm a regular here, and every visit is consistently great--the drinks are always delicious, and the team does such a fantastic job. Philz has definitely become my happy spot! read more

Such good vibes at Philz Coffee especially its signature coffee the flavorful Mint Mojito Coffee and for its bright, airy, beautifully designed coffee shop! The Iced Coffee Rose was lovely too! Smooth and refreshing. We will definitely come back for more iced coffee said my mother-in -law, who is in her 90s! Thank you to the friendly barista. read more

I came here with my mother and wife. We ordered a Mint Mojito Iced Coffee and a Iced Coffee Rose. Both were indulgent, on the sweet side, but a nice way to deal with summer. The Mint Mojito delivered on the mint flavor and the Iced Coffee Rose on the rose flavor. The gentleman who served us at the counter was very friendly and we helped ourselves to samples of cold brew coffee and poppy seed cake --- both delicious. The ambiance of the cafe was very chilled with comfortable chairs and tables to sit at and a light, airy decor with a long panel illustrated with squirrels munching on acorns. It's the second time I've been to a Philz Coffee. It's a nice place to hang out. read more

Luckily it's next to the location I currently work at! I curiously came in here during my lunch break to see if the people frequently coming and going from this place was legitimate ....sure enough it totally is!!! I am straight up hooked on their Iced Mocha Tesora...I am not trying to spoil this party y'all will have to come and check it out yourself, but take it from me if I was a plane my Jet Fuel would always fill up here! Cuz it's FIRE!!!! It's a cozy environment, but lots of people come and go and you can't blame them Philz Coffee knows how to run a Coffee Shop!!!! Shout out to The Baristas they are sweet don't know their names, but wonderful service especially with the busy bodies that frequent here A++! ;) read more

Philz Coffee in Aliso Viejo might secretly be a productivity lab disguised as a coffee shop. The place is huge--like, "bring a yoga mat and do stretches between sips" kind of spacious. The modern interior, cozy round pendant lights, and that slightly chaotic yet artistic mural on the wall somehow boost your focus and creativity by exactly 328% (don't ask how--I just know). Add in their Honey Haze (aka liquid motivation) and some perfectly cranked AC, and suddenly I'm writing emails I've ignored for weeks and brainstorming like I'm on Shark Tank. It's so welcoming, I basically live here now. Someone forward my mail. read more

Still one of the best made-to-order coffee shops around. Jacob's Wonderbar is my go-to and no other way to describe it except that it's "magically WONDERful & delicious." I will not hesitate to go in any time I see a Philz whether it's in NorCal or SoCal. read more

Come here often and so happy it's here. The coffee is great, workers are great, and there seems to always be some kind of sample up front every time I go of either a drink or a pastry! You can order online through the app but sadly no rewards program (yet? Haha) I love that they also don't charge extra for oat or almond milk so lactose-free peeps rejoice! For non-coffee drinkers, their hot chocolate is really good and so is the chai lol. read more

I'm giving three stars for the cleanliness but I'm disappointed I waited in line and apparently they don't offer anything that is organic that I'm aware of and I asked the lady for Matcha green tea latte and she said they don't have that at all there. The line was slow...it seemed they didn't have enough help and I didn't get what I wanted so that was not pleasant. The place is cute and spacious though. The good news is for people looking to have a plant based option they seemed to have oat milk on the menu. Not sure if they have other plant based milk. The lady that helped me was nice and did the best she could. I noticed they do have orange juice & turmeric shots. read more

Been waiting for this location to open for months so I am so happy they are finally up and running! Welcome to the neighborhood Philz! Service was great for it being their first week open and it wasn't particularly busy when I went Saturday morning. Plenty of parking at the Commons right now but I anticipate that changing when the other major shops begin to open. Overall I've been a Philz fanatic for over a decade so no notes on the menu. Excellent coffee and pastry selection though this time I opted for a breakfast burrito. Nothing crazy just a standard reheated convenience type of food they have at most coffee shops. My favorite drink still remains to be their famous mint mojito :) I'll be back with my laptop for a remote work day! read more

Came in around 545pm on 4/25. I pre-ordered a bottle and larger iced. Waited for about 15 min for the bottle only for the lighter haired employee to tell me they didn't have a bottle and to come back and just "tell the manager you bought it". I asked for a refund but she said she didn't know the code to do it. I asked for a gift card and she said she didn't know the code. I asked her if there is a written note I can bring back to ensure I can get my product and she said NO. Basically they were closing soon and she didn't give a flying rats ass. Whatever this location sucks go down to mission viejo where the employees actually give a shit read more

So I hate writing bad reviews but comparing this location to others I shall warn you Philz lovers this location is nothing like the others...on almost every occasion I have ordered my drink something has gone wrong, they forget the food item...the get the drink wrong but the worst thing is the fact that they just don't make the drinks right. The coffee is always too strong (believe me I love strong coffee) but this is to the point where you just can't drink it. I always order "creamy almond milk" and every single time the coffee is still black, the barista literally puts a splash in. Normally this wouldn't cause me to write a bad review but last week I ordered a "creamy" "sweet" drink and it and I couldn't even drink it. The coffee was brewed overbearingly strong and she didn't put any milk you could see in the color. I ran back in since they always say "let us know if you need adjustments ". I walked in quickly and the barista yelled at me; "WE'RE CLOSED" and I replied "I'm so sorry but can you fix this..." before I could even finish speaking she yelled back "WE ARE BEYOND CLOSED YOU HAVE TO LEAVE" I honestly felt so bad, the way she yelled at me I will never go back into that location, it was beyond rude to the point where I wanted to cry. So if you're in the mood for Philz and if you're up to the drive, go to the Mission Viejo location by target, they are unbelievably nice and they get the drinks right every single time. read more

I have been to Philz almost every location in LA. I would say this near Laguna beach location definitely is the best of the best. !

The workers here are so friendly. I'm very particular about my drinks, but they always help me modify it the way I like. I always get shy asking for my drink to be altered/remade, but they are so sweet and don't make you feel like an inconvenience. Sometimes the drinks are a little inconsistent, but I ultimately come here the most just for the workers! They are awesome! read more

parking: free and easy (philz shares the plaza with Trader Joe's, Omomo, Daiso and 99 Ranch Market) ambiance: (10/10) lots of tables, high ceilings, comfortable couches. def more spacious than the sd locations! service: the guy at the front was accommodating and very nice! what I ordered: * medium iced mint mojito ($6.45): fair price for a pour over. the presentation was immaculate but I forgot to take a pic. this is one of the iconic drinks so you should def order it if you're indecisive. slightly sweet coffee drink with a hint of mint. read more

We ordered a hot chocolate, a Mocha Tesoro cold coffee and all of them were tasteless and watered down. The best Philz is in HB and sorry but will never go to this one again. The one in Mission viejo is okay. it seems like all these baristas are just putting the drinks so fast and affected the quality. read more

My husband and I stopped in this morning knowing that Philz had just opened up in Aliso Viejo. We ordered the Mocha Tesora (hot), the iced Honey Haze (less sweet with cream instead of oat milk), breakfast sandwich with turkey sausage, and a chocolate croissant (warmed). Our cashier was great and she was patient with our order. We had to ask for the code to the restroom in order to wash our hands. The sandwich was ready before our drinks were and the chocolate croissant was the last item to be retrieved from the counter. The breakfast sandwich was okay but not worth another try. The chocolate croissant, while warmed wasn't warm all the way through. We had some cold spots. My husband enjoyed his mocha drink while I really enjoyed my honey haze. The person who handed it to me also told me that's how she enjoyed hers too. The drinks were awesome. We would come back for the coffee. Welcome to the neighborhood, Philz! read more

I am so glad for this new addition to our community! I stopped in today to check it out. The space was wide open, full of light, and welcoming. Every single staff member was very friendly. I watched someone else accidentally get the wrong drink made after ordering on mobile, and the way the barista handled it was very kind and easy. The manager (I think he was a manager, he had big manager energy, anyway) talked me into trying some newer drink, and it was delicious! All around great experience and yummy coffee.

Stopped in to try their breakfast food. I couldn't decide between the egss sausage muffin or the breakfast burriito so I asked whay was recommended. The last said the breakfast burrito was her favorite. So i got the bacon egg cheese. Paid for it, sat on a bench right in front of the to go counter. I waited and waited wondering what is taking so long to make a breakfast burrito. All these people's orders came out and left I got up walked around the side did not see anyone preparing my burrito. Or nor did I hear them call my name once. I then see a small bag and thought that couldn't possiblyA burrito in that tiny bag but I looked at the label and sure enough it was mine order. Annoyed by the wait time i go to my car to wat it before running off to run my errands I don't want to slam this place because they just opened. However, this had to be the worst burrito I ever had. It was the size of like 2 OR 3 fingers. It seemed Pre processed like they cooked it in the microwave with the paper because the tortilla stuck to the wrapping. When I bit into it it was basically all mushy potato with bacon I barely saw any egg and cheese. All tortilla .. It was so bad I almost wanted to bring it back in and show them and get a refund. read more
