    Strawberry mint matcha
    Sonny M.

    I am a regular at the Whittier location and up until now it has been my favorite. They have competition! I cannot fully put into words how friendly and welcoming the staff is here! Amazing service, the quality of the drinks is stellar, and the ambiance is so fun and cozy! Very nice outside seating. Highly recommend!

    If you are tired of standard lattes and want a coffee that is genuinely tailored to your taste, Philz is a must-visit! Unlike typical cafes, every single cup is brewed as an individual pour-over using their own custom bean blends. This location has spacious seating and lots of outlets for working remotely as well!

    Seasonal salted caramel cold brew -- delicious.

    The Bottom Line Up Front: In a world filled with corporations masquerading as sophisticated boutiques, Philz is a growing chain that still retains a cozy atmosphere while serving up great coffee. I've been to other Philz, but this review will focus on this Brea location. The Drink: I got the seasonal salted caramel cold brew and it was delicious. Picture Starbucks' caramel macchiato but less sweet and with less acidic espresso. This Philz drink was smooth and creamy, with enough caffeine kick to keep me powered throughout the day. The Service: Our barista was very knowledgeable and offered a few suggestions and a couple of samples so that I could make the right selection. Grade A service! The Setting: Located in the new section of Brea Mall, this Philz location is a freestanding building so you have to walk outside of the mall to access it from the southwest side. There's no street parking, so you'll need to park in the large parking structure across from Nordstrom (currently...but they are doing more construction so this could change in the future). The Conclusion: As part of a franchise that doesn't act like one, the Brea location of Philz offers great coffee with excellent customer service.

    Trying their new flavor

    Saw they have a Philz in Brea Mall. Trying their feature Caramel Coconut. Requested for light sugar and still tasted too sweet. Ordered through the app and it was easy and fast. The inside was freezing cold, so I ordered a hot version of Caramel Coconut. Tastes pretty good except a bit too sweet.

    Brea was long overdue to have its own PHILZ location. I have to admit the new remodel of the mall is spectacular for the city of Brea. I particularly really love the Phil'z location, because it is so easy to get to being on the outside of the mall as well as having a small play area on the outside for the little ones to enjoy or to sit down and enjoy your Philz Coffee. My personal go to is always gonna be the mint Mojito or the iced rosé, but that does not dim the light on their seasonal menu. I just had the chance to check out the butterscotch cold brew, and if you're a beer fan, this is the coffee version of it. The butterscotch flavors were very rich and deep that appeared so great with their coffee. I also have just become the biggest fan of their breakfast burritos. You can never go wrong with the green hatch chili burrito!

    The cutest lights!

    I was wanting a caffeine fix and saw that Philz is now open at the Brea Mall! It's located in the newer section of the mall, with construction still all around it. I love the spaciousness of this location. It's bigger than other Philz I've been to and there's plenty of seating. The decor is very cute, I especially love the "Cup of Love" lighting inside! What a clever way to light up the cafe! The outside of the shop opens up to an astro-turf lawn with seating and an area where kids could play, so that's nice. The have a couple new limited drink offerings: Salted Butterscotch or the Caramel Coconut cold brews. I decided to forgo on my usual Mint Mojito and try the caramel coconut cold brew and I'm so glad I did. It was so good - perfectly sweet but I could still taste coffee. The baristas were super friendly and helpful, and didn't make me feel rushed at all even when I was standing in line forever trying to download their new app. Luckily I was the only one in line at the time!

    Terosa! Omg!!!! I need another one

    This place was so dope I lived the vibes and the aesthetic It's well priced and great serving sizes. The service was super friendly and they were patient with us as first timers. I love that they tell you to taste it after they make it to make sure you like it!!! Con: my croissants weren't warmed through

    Coffee cake muffin
    Shelly H.

    I go to Philz Coffee often near my work, and their staple drinks are usually solid, which is why this experience stood out -- unfortunately not in a good way. We visited the Brea Mall location around 10am. There was no line or anyone else waiting for their orders, so we ordered two drinks and a muffin right away. Even though I'm sure they had a few online orders to work through, that was totally fine -- we waited patiently in the large seating area. Our drinks came out after a few minutes, but the muffin didn't. We continued waiting, and it seemed like our muffin order had been forgotten. My husband politely asked about it, but there was no apology or acknowledgment of the delay. Again, not a huge deal -- we just wanted the muffin. We stood near the pickup area for several more minutes while the employees were chatting, and another five minutes went by. It was frustrating trying to understand why heating up one muffin was taking so long. When we finally received the muffin, we needed napkins, but none were available in the seating area, so we had to ask again. At that point, it felt like we were constantly interrupting workers who didn't seem interested in helping. I still like Philz and will continue going to other locations, but this particular visit at the Brea Mall location was disappointing due to slow service and lack of attentiveness. Beautiful location, poor service.

    drink: iced mint mojito with almond milk. tasted perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed it. service: my barista was so kind! I really love mint, so I asked her for extra mint on the side and she gave it to me. the cashier was very sweet and kind as well. ambiance: tons of indoor seating and a handful of outdoor seating as well. there is a decent amount of outlets so it should be a good place to study and do some work.

    Jenny W.

    Awesome addition to the Brea Mall! Every time we go there, the service is quick and friendly. Mint Mojito is our go to! They have pastries here which are good too! There's plenty of seating inside, but the best part is that just outside is the new play/relax seating area of the mall. Great place to relax with your drink and people watch or enjoy the sunset.

    Look up!!!  Cup Of Love.
    David M.

    Glad to see a Philz Coffee in Brea now. This is the right location for this brand and it looks like the logo was updated since my last visit to the Pasadena location? All coffees are made by cup to order and to your taste. I recommend the Philtered Soul or Tesora options. The secret to Philz Coffee is that the use dark brown sugar and heavy whipping cream to make it taste better. You should try Philz! They were featured in the TV series 'Silicon Valley' since they started in the Bay Area.

    Honey haze
    Ramsha B.

    Honestly, the Honey Haze here is my absolute go-to. When it's made right, it is a 10/10. the mix of the Philtered Soul cold brew, oat milk, and honey is literally the perfect smooth and sweet combo.The only reason I'm dropping a star is that the consistency can be a hit or miss depending on who is working the bar. Sometimes it comes out a bit watered down compared to normal and not mixed so I find the honey at the bottom in the end which is not the best .Also, just a heads up if you're driving here, parking can be a total hassle. Since it's in the mall area and there are so many new spots opening up lately, the lot gets packed fast.That being said, most of the time the coffee is amazing. If you haven't tried it yet, definitely get it!

    Salted Caramel cold brew
    Minh V.

    I love Philz Coffee. Wherever I go and whatever I order, the service has always been top notch, space clean, and the price is always comparable to other coffee shops. I usually get their filtered tesora, but this time, our barista encouraged me to try the salted caramel cold brew. It was delicious! Next time, I'll try their butterscotch cold brew. Philz! You always provide coffee thrillz!

    Yesterday at 2:06 PM, I ordered two cups of coffee and a lemon bread, but they only gave me the coffee. I realized that I didn't receive the bread after I had already left the store. Can i get a refund?

My personal favorite is the Smokin' Spaniard, probably because I'm a sucker for anything made with condensed milk. It's rich, smooth, and just sweet enough without being over the top. On a recent visit, I decided to try their new Pineapple Express. It was a hot day, and I was in the mood for something fruity and refreshing without any caffeine. It was decent - light and refreshing, though it didn't quite stand out as much as their coffee drinks for me. Overall, this is still one of my favorite bakeries and coffee spots. Between the delicious pastries, solid drinks, and cozy atmosphere, it's a place I find myself returning to again and again.

It's incredibly delicious and perfect this us my second day in a row here. My friend usually gets a flavored Matcha which is great, but got a Peach barley tea and said it was refreshing. The service is good, they get the drinks out fast. The menu has unique specialty options aswell. There is a good amount of seating and it's a very welcoming shop. Cons: -The sizing is very small for the price. A plain vanilla latte is $6.40 which is a bit steep. However, I understand that most cafes are pretty pricey now a day. (With that being said this is one of the only places i'd spend my money on.) -I have tried some of their specialty lattes and they are extremely sweet(I would recommend getting less sweet if youre more of a espresso person) -Parking is pretty terrible apart from early mornings Overall: The pros overlook the cons for me and I love this coffee shop!

Also, another reason why this place is great is that it's not full at all. Might be because of the parking situation, but the place is near empty which makes it have a nice luxury vibe. Their Vanilla Thesis drink at 50% sweet is soooo good. It's a great blend of coffee and tastes great. You can totally taste the vanilla. Their ham and cheese croissant is also great.
