    Amazing coffee. The attached photo is my order, which I highly recommend. I find the menu difficult to navigate for first timers, but the staff are eager to answer questions. Each time you pick up your coffee, they will ask if it is to your preference and if they can make any changes, something I have not experienced at other coffee shops. Stop grabbing coffees at spots like Goddess or Foxtrot and come here!! You won't regret it. The only wish I have (not specific to this location) is that there was a member loyalty program similar to Starbucks. Perhaps it is in the works.

    Menu Coffee blends can be hot or iced.

    Quaint coffee shop. Mainly pour over and cold brew with some mixings you can do to the coffee. Decaf coffee and tea options as well. Went with the Jacob's Wonderbar dark roast and enjoyed it very much.

    My daughter raved about Philz. While we were waiting to see a show we dedicated that coffee would be a nice treat. Unlike the traditional chain coffee shops, Philz has their own blends as well as some unique specialty coffees. My wife had one of those but I don't recall the name. Whatever it was, they either used hemp milk or cashew milk. I'm typically not a fan of sweet creamed coffee. I have to admit this was good. My coffee was a grind with nothing in it other than their "Turkish Coffee" blend. I wanted something strong and this really did the trick. They also have a variety of baked items but neither of us were in the mood. Price wise, they are about the same as other boutique coffee shops. Great coffee at a decent price. Starbucks, watch out. Philz is an up and comer.

    Mojito

    The mint mojito really lives up to the hype. It's delicate, and the fresh mint flavor is refreshing and complements the smooth coffee flavor well. It's creamy, but not too sweet. If there's anything you don't like about your drink, the baristas are more than happy to make adjustments for you. The service was excellent.

    I have always wanted to try Philz Coffee, so I'm happy I got the chance to try it in Chicago! I asked the baristas what they recommended and they recommended the Iced Mint Mojito. I personally love anything mint flavored and this was the perfect drink. The drink was not too minty and was even garnished with some mint leaves! I was in town for a few days so I asked the baristas (Noah and Rachel) what they recommended to do around the neighborhood. I had a great experience and will definitely be coming back.

    Came here today to get a black coffee. This Philz location is very easy to find. Very spacious inside. I saw groups of ppl working on their laptop. They also plays soft music indoor. But the volume can be a bit lower. I got the staff recommended Philtered Seoul medium roast coffee. $5.6 for a medium size. It's pretty pricy for a black coffee. Took a sip after got my coffee. Hmm, it's very diluted. Smooth but watery. I guess it is the water ratio is wrong when they make this coffee. Very sour with hinted hazelnut. Not my coffee pick if you ask me.

    Thankful Philz has opened in Old Town! The closest one used to be a trek to get to the Lincoln Park location. If you haven't tried Philz, do yourself a flavor and try one of their unique blends! We are very "grind your own beans, use filtered water/exact measurements/temperature, chemex or bust" folk, but are big fans of Philz coffee. Recommend you download their app to read flavor descriptions of their drinks - otherwise, it might be overwhelming seeing everything on a menu. Go tos: Tesora, Philtered Soul, Dancing Water

    Iced mint mojito
    Sarina Z.

    The iced mint mojito is SO GOOD. The mint flavor was not overwhelming or artificial at all - very refreshing and went well with the coffee. The drink was creamy and the perfect amount of sweetness. Service is great - the baristas offered to help make adjustments if there was anything I didn't like. The space is clean and there are tables both indoors + outdoors to work, study, or chat. Looking forward to trying some of the other drinks!

    $90.08 per gallon cold brew coffee.  (I'm being serious.). $8.45 for 12 0z.
    Jim B.

    Dude..... I ordered a large cold brew coffee, no flavor, no milk. $8.45. This better be the bet f'n coffee that has ever graced the lips of a human being. It is good coffee, that's why you get two stars instead of one. Your cold brew coffee is $90.08 a gallon. Are you serious??

    Absolutely LOVE this place and it's my new coffee shop favorite!! Came here for a refreshing summer drink and got the iced mint mojito. Omg - it was AMAZING! I thought the drink was super unique and definitely completely worth the hype. Wasn't overly sweet or bitter and instead totally hit the spot. Everyone was super friendly and helpful, and even offered to switch up my drink if I didn't like it! I can't recommend Philz highly enough and cannot wait to go back :)

    What a place. This is so much more than just a coffee house. Tons of options, great ambience, and…read moregenuinely kind people. We started with a mocha, a solid, well-balanced drink that wasn't overly sweet and was just perfect. We didn't plan on eating here, but the menu was way too tempting. We ordered the cinnamon roll, and wow. This was insanely good. Most cinnamon rolls in the U.S. feel like sugar-heavy, cinnamon-flavored buns, but this one was light, flavorful, and beautifully made. The irimshik on top really elevated it, subtle, warm, and just sweet enough. Easy 10/10. Next was the cottage cheese pancake, which was also very good. It had a generous amount of cottage cheese stuffed inside, and paired with the sweet irimshik dip, the dish came together really well. 9/10. We then tried the qattama. It was good. flaky, crispy, and reminded me of a paratha. It came with a sour irimshik dip. While each component was good, I felt the qattama would shine more with a gravy-based dish. 7/10. Finally, we ordered the Nan Salma pasta. It's a tarry-based white sauce pasta with a unique flavor profile, and it was genuinely yum. Definitely something different and worth trying. Highly recommend it. 8/10. You have space to sit down and work as well. Service was good too. Some of the dishes might take 7-10mins to get prepared. It's not like your daily coffee shop who have stuff ready to go Overall, a great spot with unique food and a welcoming vibe. Definitely coming back. 9/10

The kind of place where you slow down without trying. The staff was genuinely nice too. Asked how my day was and even recommended couple of pastries. I ordered a hot chocolate with an almond blueberry financier. The hot chocolate was honestly perfect. Rich but not heavy. You get that dark chocolate hit first, then it smooths out. Creamy. Warm in the right way. The financier was great. Nutty from the almonds, little bursts of blueberry, soft but not mushy. I dipped it into the hot chocolate (had to), and yeah... even better. No regrets there. It's a small place, but if you get there early, you might grab a seat with a really nice city view. Worth it. I'll definitely be back. Especially now that I know there's a solid hot chocolate spot right nearby.
