    I love more Philz are coming to the East Bay, no longer having to make a trip to SF for a cup, we now have Berkeley and Emeryville. Located within Emeryville Bay Street, parking is a pain but the availability of caffeine options external to Starbucks is a treat. If you arrive early morning before most stores open, parking is a lot easier Inside Philz, the interior is expansive with plenty of seating. The ordering is setup towards the back right and the pickup counter is beyond narrow and tight. Again, early morning not so bad, late morning and beyond it's congested like no other. It's hard to navigate to the person designated to prepare your order as there are rarely names on display. Today, the only name on display was Yessenia, my person was Justin. There were three areas designated to pickup drinks based on the separation of drinks on the counter. When the drink was ready, my name was not called out as I typically experience. And when the notification was sent that Justin had my drink ready, it took an additional five minutes for my drink to appear on the counter. Not sure if customer service did not carry over to Emeryville as it had in Berkeley. I received no welcome in, thank you, have a great day... usual salutations I've come to know and welcome from Philz. To be honest, this is my first time visiting a Philz since the acquisition by a new owner(s). Maybe customer service is not a part of the new owners model. Whatever the case, the coffee is still amazing with the unfortunate lack of connection or humanity. Only if I'm in the area, desperate for a cup, would I revisit. There was so much engagement behind the counter with an intentional disconnect across the counter. I hope this was an outlier experience under new management and not the norm.

    Brief Summary - In the Bay Street area - Coffee is not sour - Seats inside and outside, but often busy on weekends - Line up on the left of the merch shelf, and pickup on the right Pleased to have a coffee shop along Bay Street, and Philz is a favorite of mine. I like how the coffee is drip style, so it's easy to drink after lunch. I've been more than a handful now, since it arrived. Flavor has been constant from other Philz branches I tried. The staff here are down to earth and help me out when I'm indecisive on what blends to choose. My favorite blends are the ones in the medium and dark roast area with the lightest sugar or cream, but I also love to try the seasonal drinks. However, my recent favorite coffee combination is the medium/dark, iced, with the sweetest and creamiest option. That tasted great on summer days.

    My friend ordered two drinks online, but when we arrived, we realized that one was hot and the other was iced. We had actually wanted both drinks hot, so one of them was ordered incorrectly as iced by mistake. I explained to the barista that I had accidentally selected the iced option and asked if it would be possible to remake it as a hot drink. The barista kindly said yes and asked me to wait for a bit. They also said I could keep the iced drink, but in the end I didn't take it because I really didn't want a cold drink.

    Public street parking in front, limited, pay parking garage across as well High ceiling, clean organized and lots of seatings Merch available, mugs so cute Interior is really beautiful and fun It's like a cartoon colorful map of the bay Got a cup of coffee to wake up for the day Will have to try their food next time Service was a short wait since I walked into morning rush hour Staff was friendly and prices are reasonable

    Beautiful Philz location here in Emeryville. The space is huge and a good place to work or chill with friends. I got the tried and true mint mojito latte, and my sister got the honey latte. The flavor was light and refreshing. I will definitely stop by again next time I'm in the area.

    I Phil good day da da da da da da Like I knew that I would da da da da da da da I loved how kind and friendly the employees were. I forgot the name of the young lady who took my order. I ordered a large, but ended up with a small. It's okay. She was kind enough to carry it out for me, since I had a number of items That was awfully kind of her. Oh, and p.s. my coffee tastes great. Thank you all!

    I always love a good Philz coffee. Was in Emeryville, walking around, and found a Philz for a quick pick-me-up in the afternoon. I love the wall art at this location. Did an online order, and it was ready when I arrived.

    Mint Mojito

    The mint mojito is always my go-to morning drink (with extra mojito)! This particular location is along the outdoor strip mall, making it the perfect spot to grab a drink before starting a shopping trip. The space is clean, feels safe, and the staff are always pleasant.

    I decided to try their Pistachio Spice and their Cashew Cocoa. The Pistachio Spice and Cashew Cocoa has Philtered Soul as its base, and it's one of my favorite blends in addition to the Tesora. The Pistachio Spice was quite good, but the Cashew Cocoa had a sourness that I was not a fan of. The service was fast and the ambiance is typical of a Philz

    Iced Honey Haze
    E D.

    I thoroughly enjoy Philz Coffee. Today I ordered the Honey Haze drink and it was DE-lightful The establishment was cleaned and full for a Sunday. I will certainly order the Honey Haze again, very soon.

    Love me some Philz Coffee! I stopped by the Emeryville location on a rainy day after a big meal, and a small hot Tesora totally hit the spot. The place has plenty of seating, cool wall art, and clean restrooms. Great vibes all around. Definitely recommend!

    I love it the pumpkin flavors are in. Vanilla date latte = yes!

    The drip coffee here is made to order so be patient. Your morning jolt takes time so if you're short on time order ahead. There is a difference between drip and espresso coffee so google it. Executive summary: Service:5/5 Depth of menu: simple, short and sweet Quality:5/5 Good for groups:5/5 Space to work:5/5

    Poppy Bagels is a small, cozy bagel shop in Temescal. We came on a Sunday morning for a bagel run…read moreand shared the basic bagel sando ($9) and honey truffle bagel sando ($9.50). The basic bagel was SO GOOD. It genuinely might be one of the best bagels I've had. I loved the scallion cream cheese, and the tomato was super fresh and juicy without making the bagel soggy. The tomato and cream cheese also helped balance out the stronger flavor of the raw red onion. I'd definitely recommend this one if you're here! The honey truffle bagel had a really interesting sweet and salty combination. I loved the richness of the honey, while the earthy truffle flavor paired really nicely with it. The truffle cream cheese was a little too salty for my taste though. The shop itself is small and cozy, with limited indoor seating and an outdoor patio. They also have plain bagels, coffee, tea, and other options. Weekend lines can get a little long, but the wait is usually pretty reasonable. There's also plaza parking available across the street. Overall, I really enjoyed both bagels and would definitely come back for the basic bagel sando!

    Modern bagel shop with delicious bagels on offer…read more The bagels here have the familiar features of some east coast ancestors. We ordered a half dozen plain bagels and cream cheese. The crust makes a noticeable crunch when you bite through and the taste of pretzels comes through clearly. (The shop must add a liberal splash of lye to the water bath.) The dough inside has a salty flavor which can be too much on its own -- but as a result it complements the slightly muted cream cheese to make a tasty pair. The one issue for the bagels is their structure. The crumb loses its shape under any tearing or bending, which makes it hard to support a sandwich. We also noticed that the cream cheese had a slightly grainy texture. All told these are great bagels. Pair them with a cream cheese you like and rip in.

    Why the HELL have I never been here?!…read more for starters, I have a really bad gluten sensitivity, and finding a place like this feels like an oasis. Immediately after coming in, you are greeted with a shelf of delicious gluten free goods, a freezer full of REAL gluten free bread. Not the doodoocaca stuff you can buy at the regular store. I'm talking baguettes and sh*t. But then that's not all. They have an entire menu that you can dive into and munch on if you are just looking for a quick bite. What the f*ck Mariposa, hell yeah!

I also like that this location has longer business hours than most GF bakeries and serves breakfast all day as well as lunch items. Another big plus is the allergens are clearly labeled online and in the shop. However, I've had negative experiences here on 3 consecutive visits. I go here for my gluten free partner. On one of the visits, I ordered a stuffed bagel and waited for 15 minutes before going back up to the counter to say that I still hadn't received my order. It was busy, but by this time, the person standing at the counter had nothing to do. They apologized and made my order then, but the experience left a bad impression on me since it was my first time eating inside the bakery. On my next visit, I ordered several items inside the bakery to take home with my pickup order and received a pain de chocolate instead of a cinnamon donut, which I didn't notice until I got home. The pain de chocolate costs more and my partner wasn't able to share it with me due to a soy allergy. I suppose I could've been paying more attention, but these items don't have similar names at all, so I was not expecting this error. That said, I made a mental note to pay more attention when ordering inside the bake shop for future orders. On my next visit, I ordered a mocha cupcake and berry muffin, but the cashier rang me up for a hand pie instead of a muffin. Again, the hand pie was more expensive. This time I caught it and asked for it to be corrected. I work in customer service and I act with kindness when mistakes are made because we're only human. However, I believe 3 negative experiences in a row shows a pattern and warrants some attention. I will continue to patronize this business due to the reasons I mentioned at the beginning of this review, but I will now have to be vigilant in ensuring that I receive the correct items and am charged the correct amount. This of course is not ideal. I hope service improves.

And the bagels are tasty! The bagels are New York style, although they are a little outside the normal range of variation. We ordered a couple of poppy and sesame bagels, with a side of cream cheese. The crust on some of the bagels was soft and pale, while others had benefitted from a little more time in the oven and came out crisp. The dough inside, though, had a flat sweetness to it. There was a hint of malt flavor but it tasted more like a lightly sweet bread. The crumb was at the ideal midpoint between fluffy and chewy -- enough structure to hold up toppings but still light enough not to break your jaw. The cream cheese was on the firmer side but had a respectable tang. Perfectly matched to the bagel itself in both cases thickness and flavor. The trick here is to look closely at the bins: check which bagels came out golden brown and ask for those. This is a bakery after all! Get the breads that came out best and you won't be disappointed.
