So I come from Houston to Chicago a lot and unfortunately, we do not have Philz. This is a staple for me when I come here I always come through the train and love to walk through West Loop This place is always so by me and the employees are so friendly. Of course I get the staple of the ice mint Mojito latte. It's just something you have never tasted before. They have so many different milk options and they even have decaf, which is great for me. I always get the chile burrito it's not spicy at all. It just taste like a tangy Latin burrito if you will. Bathrooms are unisex. And there's so many different options for merch. I just need Philz coffee to make decaf cake cups. Thanks. read more

First of all, I LOVE Philz... just not this location. I've been disappointed everytime I come here. The drinks always come out bland and weak. No matter which drink I order the coffee always tastes very weak. I've tried a few drinks here but the quality is always lacking. My usual order is an iced oatmeal cookie with cinnamon through the filter but every time I order it at this location it tastes like the cold brew version which I do not like. It has a sour aftertaste and feels too light. read more

Philz Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Nice place, good asthetic, tasty coffee, fast service Have gone here a bunch of times But they always give one cup, and give a second for insulation if you ask. First time ever today, they gave me 2 cups stacked instead of one when I went to pick it up. Was impressed at the service improvement... Until I started walking and realized why. The inner cup was badly leaking. Once I got farther along on my walk, the bottom cup had filled up and coffee started leaking all over my hands I was walking my dog so there was effectively nothing I could do but trash it. Clearly it wasnt a coincidence. The worker saw it was leaking after making it, and rather than just pour it in another non leaking cup, thought that adding a second cup would be good enough. The only reason this is 4 stars instead of 1 is that this is the first time Ive had an issue. read more

This is a chain but a tasty chain. They serve both hot and cold beverages in the same cup, and have straws that fit. The cold brew is good, less flavorful than others but it's good. Great breakfast burritos, they have a few options (Bacon, sausage, and Green Chile). I love the Green Chile burrito, it has potato's, and some nice flavor. The tortilla is a little crispy which isn't what you want out of a burrito but it's still good. The Wicker Park location is great for working too. read more

Tastes weird coffee rancid ambiance boring lacking rainbow service good, snacks were old and dried out

Philz was very good, priced way too high though. 2 cups of coffee and 2 scones over $23. Way too expensive! Coffee shops must stop pining for tips for taking an order at the counter when people are paying for their goods on the screen, covid has been over for years now. Cut the crap! read more

As a SF native such a great surprise to see this place in chicago. The service here is as good as i expect and doesn't miss a beat. got my usual dancing water and it hit like it always does. so great to get my morning coffee here outside of SF read more

My partner had been raving about Philz, so I was so excited to give it a try while in the area! I really appreciated how they had so many different flavors of coffee and the really helpful descriptions so you know what you're ordering. Their coffee creations also looked delicious - I wish I was able to go a third time so I could try the Rose coffee! Philz... get yourselves to the east coast! read more

This place is hard to come by so if you are in Chicago you have to try it! Their main coffee stores are in Cali so we were excited when we saw that there was a Philz! There are a lot of space where you can study or plug in your phone to charge. The service is good and the baristas are knowledgeable. I personally got the mint coffee where they crush up the mint at the bottom. I personally like Cold coffees so I got it iced. It is pretty sweet and enjoyed it! read more

Philz Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I come here often to work from "home". There are plenty of outlets and frequent "co-workers" looking to change up scenery, too. Noise levels are moderate, mostly due to music rather than people talking. There's one community table, 2 couches, no more than 3 small tables, and plenty of individual stools. There's a water station outside of coffee and small bites available for purchase. The staff has always been friendly and no-fuss. Perfect for my WFH "co-workers". read more

I got the iced coffee rose and it was really good. It's creamy and not too sweet and you can still taste the hints of rose that surprisingly complimented the coffee very well. They usually have decent sitting options and many other options, including some great warm drinks. A great spot to work, study or hang out with friends! read more

Came in about 15 minutes after opening and besides the baristas it was just me (which is a plus hehe). After exchanging good mornings, I ordered a small silken splendor straight up since that's what I usually drink in the mornings at home. It was pretty fun to see the barista pour the freshly brewed coffee back and forth the two pitchers. I usually don't see that being done for hot drinks which was cool to see. I was looking for a place to sit and read when I noticed all of the artwork and personal touches around the store. It is so nice to get lost in looking at everything personally. In light of that, I did want to mention that I frequent the Lincoln Park, Hyde Park, and Evanston locations, but after visiting today, the Wicker Park Philz location is by far my favorite. Whoever was on aux too! I liked your playlist, it had lots of jams. read more

My go-to coffee shop whenever I come back to visit Chicago! I absolutely LOVE this place. The interior is so spacious and bright, you could definitely find yourself doing work here (I have!). All the baristas are extremely nice and helpful. Their menu consists of a wide array of different coffee beans, each with their own unique flavor! You'll find a short description of each of them on their menu so you'll know exactly what you're getting. The best thing of all? They don't charge extra for different creamers! They don't believe you should have to pay for dietary restrictions (I'm lactose-intolerant). My favorite drink is the Mint Mojito but honestly, everything on the menu is really good. Each coffee's specific flavor notes really shine through. Come drop by for a great cup of coffee! read more

Philz Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Philz is great. I've been coming here since they opened in this location and haven't been disappointed. My favorite thing on the menu is the iced coffee rosé (make it sweet and creamy). I've also tried the mint mojito coffee and a couple of the different coffee blends. Food wise, pumpkin loaf is delicious. Everything there is far superior to Starbucks-- the ambiance is better, the coffee doesn't taste burnt, and the food is more delicious. I'm not a regular coffee drinker but will always stop at Philz as a treat. Even when there is a long line, it moves fast and the staff here are SO nice. They make me enjoy ordering a coffee! They have you try your coffee at the counter before you take it away and will change anything for you if it's not up to your taste. This is a cute place to sit and work or grab and go. They have a little outdoor seating area on the side with metal chairs and tables. read more

Coffee is excellent. Employees are nice. Pleasant atmosphere. Prices are completely ridiculous.

Mediocre coffee with rude staff. Have tried 4 drinks from them, which were all tasteless. Additionally, the staff lied about giving me oat milk in my coffee. First coffee I received tasted like regular milk, though they claimed it was oat milk. However, when they remade it, it tasted completely different. Only upside is the place itself is cute. read more

GUYS. Chicago has Philz, and I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED! Way back in the day when I was a travel nurse (and started Yelping because I had no idea where I was all the time), I went to Philz in SF religiously. I dreamt of their mint mojito coffees for years and just drank my own home brews in my Philz mug and remembered better days. I recently moved to Chicago, and PHILZ IS HERE! I had to some, and I am so happy to say that the coffee is just as good as I remember it. What a treat! I'll gladly be back! read more

I would never think I would be giving such a review for a coffee! I'm not one to drink coffee so I did not expect to like the flavors as much as I did. This was the second time I came and both times the cashier was so kind. Coffee: I usually don't like coffee because it's too bitter, but I don't know why I couldn't stop drinking this! The minty flavor was also another surprise for me as I usually don't like mint. For a price of ~$5 for a small I could see myself getting this every once in a while. 8.1/10 read more

Philz Coffee - Minty boy - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I just happened to be in the area conducting an errand and saw this cute, colorful cafe, so I decided to stop in. I am in the area occasionally, mostly visiting either the Starbucks or FedEx Office across the street. With Philz Coffee being located in a busy area within Wicker Park, I embraced the fact that it would be congested inside. If you have time to pre-order just to pick-up and go, I recommend doing so because this area can be horrendous when it comes to parking, FYI! Out of their featured drinks, I took an interest in the Jacob's Wonderbar which is noted for being chocolatey with subtle hints of fruit! A kudos to the employee who gave me a sample of it after it caught my interest. I enjoyed the Jacob's Wonderbar as well as the overall vibe of Philz Coffee inside. Now that I have visited, I would surely return since I am an avid visitor in the area. ~Blessings~ Thomas G read more

Stopped here as i was heading for an appointment as I've yet the chance to try a coffee from Philz. I ordered the Honey Haze cold brew, and chocolate croissant. Cashier was very friendly and patient with me as i ordered. Both of what i ordered were very delicious! I'm honestly sad there isn't a location near me because I would love to come back and buy a whole bag of coffee. Place was clean and had good seating for if you needed to chill out or do some work. read more

We already got caffeinated with our breakfast but had to stop by Philz for the infamous Mint Mojito. I have had it once before but my friends hadn't tried it and were eager for a taste. The shop is spacious, with some covered outdoor seating that we hunkered down at. Drinks are cheap but honestly, worth every penny. Order your drinks at the counter and wait for pick up. And MAKE SURE to always include an iced mint mojito in your order, no matter the temperature outside or if you're ordering anything else. Pro tip. I do have one major complaint. WHY isn't there a location in Atlanta!?!? I'm waiting. read more

Visited Chicago for a week and got coffee here almost every morning because it was right around the corner from our AirBNB. Let coming back for the great service, excellent coffee and tasty breakfast options! read more

Always my go to drink whenever I'm around the area! Parking sucks but that's to be expected for wicker park. However, this location is very spacious. The drink itself is sweet but not too overbearing. It typically get the Rose iced but that's my personal preference. Definitely worth the hype if you're around the area! read more

Philz Coffee - Iced Rose - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Starbucks and Dunkin are my basic go-to's since they right outside by door. BUT PHILZ IS LIFE!! Anytime I can make it out to wicker park (idk why im making it sound like its so far but it is a shlep) I GO!! Like yesterday morning. everything is so easy. mobile order walk up to window. get greeted by friendly face ( yesterday was Lisbeth) and grab delicious order. Since its far and few that I get to make it to wicker I ordered 4 cups of coffee for my and my roommate My always go to is Mint Mojito and yesterday I tried the philtered soul My roommate got Gingersnap ( my new favorite next to mint) and Iced Coffee Rose. I'm drooling thinking about it may have to make a quick coffee run now. I love how easy the app is to use, connects to apple pay and has pretty pictures along the way. Quick note- it doesnt look like they are providing food options right now ( they usually do and its yummy) but they had some scone options by the walk up window read more

The coffee here is pretty good, but on the expensive side. And they charge you an extra dollar to make something with ice (stupid if you ask me). The food is not very good. They try to offer a large variety and end up doing nothing well. As for the location, the place is immaculate, but it's not somewhere that I'd like to sit and hang out or work. Chicago has lots of wonderful coffee shops, but Philz is not one of them. It's odd because in San Francisco Philz is pretty legit, but they missed on their store here. read more

Philz Coffee - The menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Went here for the Wicker Park influencers and insiders event at @philzcoffee. We had a Mint Mojito& Iced Coffee Rose plus delicious pastries. They originated in San Francisco and have now opened their first store in Chicago. They specialize in custom Blended coffees, teas, specialty drinks and pastries. They're not officially open yet, so you'll have to wait a week or so to enjoy it for yourself. it's on a very busy street in a very popular area so, I would expect them to have long lines when they actually do open. read more

I've been to the locations in SF/DC and loved it, so I'm extremely happy to have this amazing coffee shop open up in Chicago. Stopped by the other day and everything from the quality coffee to the superb customer service is just like other locations. What makes Philz different from other coffee shops is the wide selection of coffee grounds you have to choose from. The flavor profile of each coffee they serve is unique, so you can choose something different each time you visit. Tesora, Philharmonic, and Philtered Soul are probably my top 3. The other cool thing about Philz is that your barista will make the coffee to your taste. You tell him how much cream/sugar/honey you like as well as if you want any other additions like cinnamon/cardamom/mint. They let you taste the coffee once it's ready and they'll adjust it if needed. Relative to other coffee shops, the coffee is very reasonably priced relative to the amount of coffee you receive. There's plenty of seating/space inside as well as some outdoor seating. Seems like a great location to get some studying/work done. Definitely will be visiting Philz quite often. They have plans to open up locations in Hyde Park, Lincoln Park, and Evanston in the near future as well if you live closer to those areas. read more

Not only is the quality of coffee excellent, but they've managed to execute all of their flavor combinations perfectly. I tried the Gingersnap, Mint Mojito, and Iced Coffee Rosé and every drink tasted exactly as described. Mint and coffee was a new combo for me, but I highly recommend it from Philz, it's super refreshing. I also ordered on the app and it was smooth and very clear. Service was excellent and they made sure to label all the drinks which was nice. It also seems like a great place to get work done or read, very spacious and quiet. Can't wait to visit again! read more

I first tasted Philz when I lived in the Bay Area so imagine my joy when it finally opened here in Wicker Park! Makes me feel less homesick and so much closer to home!! I have been a loyal fan of Philz since my college days (so that's 5 years ago) and their coffee is really different, in a good way. Mint mojito is of course my first love since I love everything mint. Then comes Mocha Tesora :) so good! Now, I am loving the Istanbul Treat - very refreshing when you have it iced with oat milk and sweetened with honey. Their avo toast too is the bomb!! This store in particular, being their first in the Midwest has a different kind of vibe but still inviting. Love the artwork when you enter the store and just the ambiance. You'll be sure to find a safe space here and a community you'll grow to love day by day. read more

I think my sister questioned it best when she asked "What do you think they do with their beans that make them taste so good? Do they kiss and tuck each one in every night?" - I can't help but laugh out loud, but it's true! Their coffee is so dang good, you would think they raised each one with love and care haha. I have to also mention that they are handling this pandemic so well. For a while they had pickup available with social distancing, masks required, pre-ordered through the app and more just to make the experience safe. It was awesome. The app makes it easier to customize and the whole process is quick and seamless. Now they let you come in, but they still have a quick pickup area - still feel really safe. My favorites are their new take-home cold brew, Jacob's Wonderbar to brew at home, and their Mint Mojito & Gingerbread is boooooomb! When I'm treating myself, those are my go-to's. Expect to pay a high price for coffee here, but honestly most coffee shops are expensive these days and this is quality ass coffee. Cheers! read more

Love the vibe. Plenty of seating options. Indoor and patio seating. Of course it's Chicago street parking but ‍. They are being super COVID safe. The drink was prepared quite hot, but a little patience and it was amazing. The mocha is definitely darker than most which was a great added bonus. I'll be back. read more

Philz has a variety of signature coffees. They are all made to order and at the moment. I got the mint mojito with oat milk. They have dairy free options, and one of the options is oat milk. Personally I think oat milk makes coffees taste so delicious. Philz coffee also has a vegan breakfast sandwich. I did not try it but I definitely will come back and try it. There are several Philz coffee locations throughout Chicago and surrounding suburbs. read more

Philz Coffee - Mint mojito with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

As an sf native I couldn't very well not drink Philz Coffee if I found it in another city. Philz seems to be having some success in Chicago. It honestly is not my favorite place in the Bay Area in Cali, but it is nostalgic because of how many of my family members are obsessed. My favorite pour on this day was good, and perfect because I was freezing outside. I underestimate how much you need a hot coffee in a city that is as cold as Chicago. It's a must. I loved the decor and homage to San Francisco throughout the store. Cool ambiance throughout and definitely a great place if you have to study or work remote. Friendly staff too which seems to be a Philz thing always. It never feels corporate like Starbucks or Peet's. Recommend. read more

It's worth the hype. I have zero clue how many calories a large iced mint mojito coffee contains but sign me up! Even better, check out the iced coffee rose. It may taste like your grandma smells (who doesn't love rose perfume?) but the sh*t is absolutely addicting. Pro-tip: Order beforehand on the app to avoid the massive lines that can pop up on a weekend. read more

I've been here a few times and have brought friends and family to check it out. It's definitely a different experience and taste than my regular go-to coffee spot! They have a variety of options and there's something for everyone! Two things I was the most impressed by - the staff and creative flavors! During my first visit (I think it was before the opened and were giving out free drinks), the line was SO long. They had staff engaging with people in the line just to say hello - most places I've been to are always short-staffed and staff are always so stressed out, but not here! During my visits, Chelsea (I think her name was) always took care of my drinks and recommended things based on what I like. Even though the lines were long, I was really impressed on how everyone stayed calm and had a lot of energy! Joey (maybe the manager or lead) is just so energetic and personable!!! My favorite drinks there are the rose and mint drinks - get it iced! As for food, the Samoa donut is freaking amazing! I do like the avocado toast but I didn't really care for the hard boiled egg on it. I love that Philz partners with local bakeries! Anyway, I'll be back. read more
