Yes, I'm that guy, the one who only orders decaf coffee. Fortunately for me, Philz makes a mean one. Best probably of all the chains. They call their decaf version Luca's unplugged. Very nice, not too mild flavor. Ordered it iced with heavy cream half and half and light sweetener. Awesome drink! read more

Philz Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Nice looking warm comfortable coffee bar tucked away off Lake Ave . I'm sipping on an medium Arabica blend coffee with a cheese and jalapeño toasted bagel. The bagel is outstanding...moist &, warm, and the cheese is deliciously melted. A slight after burn finish with the jalapeños that let's your tastebuds know this bagel has a surprise for you. On my next visit I'll try out the inviting looking patio. read more

I used to go to Philz with my partner very often when we were living in Berkeley and unfortunately don't live too close to a Philz in the LA area. We decided to come out to Pasadena to revisit our fond memories of Philz and it was definitely a pleasure. This location is very cute indoors and has a lot of room for studying, hanging out, or just taking a moment to relax. Please keep in mind that the parking is not the greatest here! We came on a Friday, which is usually one the busier days of the week, it was constant circling around the area to find parking. When we went inside, we were greeted with great energy from the workers! The cashier was very sweet and patient with us. I ordered a small hot chocolate and my partner ordered a small mocha tesora. Unfortunately, our drinks came out incorrect which ended up being an error from the cashier, but it was no biggy! The barista was kind enough to remake them. Although my partner mentioned that his drink didn't taste too strong like it usually does. Even with these errors, we really liked the staff and store and want to come back again! read more

The coffee tastes sooooo good! The bakeries are fresh! Nice patio outside to enjoy your coffee! I purchased a mug and they washed and delivered my coffee in it! read more

Philz Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Always such a great experience at this Philz Coffee location ! This is the closest Philz coffee near me and this is conveniently on the way to my work after I finish Pilates in the morning. My go-to order here is the iced mint mojito with oat milk -- house way (the best way duhh). Whenever I'm in a rush, I usually order it in the app and my drink is always ready by the time I get there ! Parking here may be a bit hard to find but there is a 3 minute parking area outside of Philz if you're in and out. They also offer coffee beans to bring home -- SO good! My sister recreates the iced mint mojito at home with the coffee beans they sell and it tastes the exact same. read more

Coffee is great but staff needs more Support. It takes way too long to get your order. Waited more than 30 min. read more

Coffee is decent, but really bummed they moved the couch. We used to come here with our son and hang in the mornings by the window off to the side. Now with the couch moved by the other door it's not really optimal as it's sort of in the way of the door. Anyways, I hate to be the guy complaining about couch positioning but here I am lol. If you don't give a damn about couch positioning, it's a great place to knock out some work . P.S. it looks like either philz or the courtyard redid the outside and they did a great job. Kudos! read more

Philz Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

This is a great Philz location to get some work done! My go to coffee is the mint mojito, but I also like the chai here as well! The cashiers and baristas are all really friendly and helpful! They have a good amount of seating and free wifi. It does get really busy on the weekend, so I recommend coming early if you want a seat. The downside is parking. I recommend trying to find street parking because the parking structure is so expensive. read more

This Philz location is a great option in Pasadena that I've been to quite a bit. Sometimes I just pop in and other times, I hang out for awhile. They have a bunch of indoor seating and their outdoor seating is perfect. They have a cute little courtyard full of sunshine you can work or study in! Last time I was there, some guy started recording me while I was sitting there which was weird...but he was just some rando and not associated with the biz, lol. But anyways, the outdoor seating is real cool. I'm a fan of coming here to work in the afternoons with a coffee in hand. Staff is always friendly and really prompt. Philz Coffee is always reliable. I know I'm going to have good coffee at a good price whenever I go here. This location did not disappoint delivering the rich, creamy caffeine I'm accustomed to. I recommend their seasonal special right now: Spiced Gratitude Cold Brew. So yum!!! read more

I asked them to make me something unique and delicious and this guy made me a concoction that was so delicious. I dream about it. I should've recorded it. Once you figure out how to order, this place becomes your number one coffee spot. Very friendly staff no matter the location. read more

There's a good amount of seating here with bar seating, and a huge table, as well as a good amount of outlets around. I got the large Honey Haze (creamy and sweet) and it is exquisite! I love that it's not too sweet but you can make it less sweet if wanted. There's also a large bench while you're waiting for your order. The cafe is a little messy with some trash on the cafe floor and bathrooms. I also got the Pork Sausage and Egg breakfast burrito and I was not a fan. I thought it was ok. It felt like it used to be frozen and they had reheated it. The burrito was quite wet. read more

I'm us no idea the Philz coffeee existed! I'm so glad it does because I finally had the mint mojito post partum and boy was it a treat! I did decaf but it was still delicious! Wish I would have gotten another one for tomorrow! It was super packed when I got there! It looks like the spot to study or have a quick meeting! I ordered from the app, and unfortunately it only allowed 4 drinks at a time. I ordered 8 drinks so I just made two different orders. I assume it was so that the workers didn't have to deal with large orders like that. Who knows, but it all worked out. I believe my first barista was Alexandria. She was super sweet and offered to help me bring all my drinks to my car. (I had my baby with me) . I find that so kind, and appreciated the offer! It's really cool that they also have the baristas name on the labels! lol everyone was extremely friendly; I loved it! I'll be back again soon! read more

Coffee is delicious as we all know. The staff is always going above and beyond and grinding making all the drinks Place is always busy but the service is never compromised. Sometimes when it's busy you have to wait a bit to have your order taken. Always a rush in the morning and evenings. A lot of seating inside and cool decor minus the rainbow flag. Not a fan. read more

Philz had never done me wrong, and this location is consistently great. Coffees are always tasty here, the employees are super cool and nice and the cafe is always clean. It's a relaxed environment here with several tables, a couch and WiFi. There was a fair number of people working on laptops when I went, so it's a popular spot for people getting work done. Iced rose -- 10/10. Perfectly sweet and floral, without either flavor being too overpowering. It's a refreshing drink and pretty strong IMO (then again, I'm pretty caffeine sensitive) Parking can be kinda tricky but I tend to go to the lot across the street since I usually get lucky there read more

Philz Coffee - Rose and mint mojito - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

So convenient for a quick coffee pick me up, esp when you're in need of a swift energy boost! Parking can be tough, but there are 2min street parking if you don't want to pay. I love their classics and always end up chugging and finishes a large cup in a few mins. That being said, I didn't realize how strong their caffeine content was. So although it's delicious, be aware, sip your drinks and not chug! read more

Overall, the two medium coffees beverages we ordered were okay. The place was crowded and we waited about 25 in total for our drinks (given those who ordered after us were reviving our drinks, perhaps they forgot us at some point). I don't think that we would come back to this location unless we were visiting the surrounding shops and were dying for coffee. Ample bar seating and communal long table seating, but given how loud it was inside, one would definitely benefit from noise cancelling headphones if trying to study or get work done here. read more

The first Philz Coffee that I had been to was in DTLA. This is the second one. I could say this much bigger and nicer. There was a long line when we came, but the staff works fast. It also has cozy ambiance. There's also a couple of outdoor sitting available. I ordered my usual favorite drink which is the Iced Mint Mojito. It smells and tastes sooo good. And I also had the Bacon & Egg Burrito as well. The size is just right and it was very flavorful. I love bacon! On my next visit here, I would like to try their Iced Coffee Rosé. :) read more

Was in the area and wanted a quick snack. Nice little coffee shop on Lake Ave. Friendly service and nice seating inside and outside. Had an jalapeño bagel with cream cheese spread and it was warm, toasty, and fresh. Tried the mint mojito iced coffee and it was amazingly good. Not a common flavor choice, so I had to try it - I'm glad I did! I may have to come back and have another snack! read more

Reliably delicious coffee every single time! Friendly and fun baristas and a great environment for remote work or studying.

Great as always. This time I tried the honey haze creamy oat milk regular cream regular sweet and I really enjoyed the taste. I may like it more than the iced mint mojito. Service: it's always packed so be prepared to wait. Ambiance was loud but okay. read more

Philz and Klatch are my favorite coffee chain. My go to at Philz is usually Ecstatic but nowadays I've been trying a few new ones and they've all been pretty good. Since I've been drinking a lot of black coffee, I think some other good options are prob Julie's ultimate and Tesora. If I want something sweet then I would get Ecstastic. The plaza does get pretty busy but there is a pick up parking spot that you can park at so you can order online and then come pick it up. The people that worked there are usually very nice. Hopefully I get a philz near RH soon(still a dream of mine for as long as I discovered Philz in SF haha). read more

I like this location in Pasadena. The food is always fresh and the drinks made to perfection. I ordered the chamomile tea and it's always on point! The service is always good and the baristas are very professional. I def recommend this Philz Coffee. It's located in the right spot located near so many good popular Pasadena restaurants. It's a lot of seating outside and indoor to enjoy your coffee. Very good ambiance to relax. Smaller than some of the other locations, but still nice. I will continue to come to this Philz. Parking is on the street and parking in the lots by the Counter burger restaurant. You do have to pay for some parking depending where you park. That's the only thing that can be dissatisfying. read more

Who doesn't enjoy Philz Coffee?! I am a caffeine addict, yea I admit it. While I tend to lean on lattes I do crave drip coffee from time to time and you can never go wrong with Philz. The staff is fun, helpful, and always very patient. They have tons of options you can pick from, my go-to is Tesora Philz way (cream and sugar). They have light, medium, and dark roast for all pallets. Their coffee beans are great for home use as well which is a plus. I will be back to this place. read more

The coffee,hot chocolate, monkey bread and chocolate croissant truly merit five stars .. but the incredibly surly attitude of not one,but three employees working there soured the experience this morning. We felt WE were in the way, lining up for a few minutes only to be told ( tho sounded more like a reprimand) to move to the other side of the rope and queue there. ( we were the only customers at that moment. Within five minutes there were a few more, and they received the same curt "welcome". A cheery hello, a warm attitude and a clean seating area are the norm in most coffee shops, but not here, not today read more

Heard so many good things about Philz, so I wanted to see how good it is. Got the mint mojito and it was nothing special. The drink tasted a little water down. Staffs was friendly as they do offered to have drink remake if we're not satified. Wait time was a bit too long for me. read more

First timer at Philz. Tried the mint mojito iced coffee and it was pretty good. I can't really explain the taste of it besides the obvious of the mint taste. Great customer service. If you buy a bag of coffee, they'll grind the beans for you. Place was clean and open concept space. read more

Love this space. The cashiers are always very chill. The baristas even ask me to taste the drink before putting on the lid to make sure it's fine with me. My favorite drink at the moment was recommended to me by the cashier: the Philtered soul with honey and oat milk. They were painting the outside with pure white so I didn't recognize it first--am I at the right space? After checking with painters, they said to go around to the other door. Sure enough when I was inside everything looked familiar and brown lol read more

If you're looking for coffee that actually tastes like your perfect cup, you need Philz. I'm so impressed by how every drink is handcrafted; it's a game-changer. The staff here are genuinely awesome, always welcoming and passionate about making coffee, which makes the whole experience even better. The tiramisu swirl and Mint Mojito are the real stars ! read more

I really like the coffee and pastries at Philz, but the level of service is consistently apathetic. While at the register waiting to give my order the cashier simply takes one order then leaves the front to go to the back and tells us she'll be right with us. No sense of urgency and honestly it didn't look like she was doing anything important in the back. Eventually after waiting over five to ten minutes another worker comes and takes our order. The original girl at the register who had us wait comes back not doing much moving a cinnamon shaker from the front to the back and then after five minutes clocks off. It was clear she was nearing the end of her shift and stopped caring to take customer orders. This isn't the first time this has happened. Seems like a group of twenty something young girls with no sense of responsibility work here. Atmosphere is nice if you just order on the app just don't expect the staff to get to you in person in any hurry. read more

I am a huge Philz fan! (specifically for the mint mojito). I decided to come to this location to get some work done since this is the closest location next to me. Parking is ok if you decide to spend a while here. Most street parking in Pasadena is paid/max of an hour or 2. If you're looking to drop by really quick & pick up some coffee, they have 3 minute parking spots in the back. There's also a parking structure near it, in the back but is $2/each 20 mins or a $15 flat fee for the whole day. Service is quick & friendly. There's a few seating areas along the sides & a huge common table with a decent amount of outlets on the side of the table. Wifi works great. read more

I was originally going to this little plaza to get some Italian food, which was right near this place. But since they were closed and I was hungry. I needed a snack that would tie me over. I informed the young lady who assisted me that I've never been there and had no idea what to get. She was so kind, I didn't annoy her by saying that either - which we all know tends to happen. You can tell this place is popular because it was busy. It's definitely worth stopping by there and being patient. My food came out first, which was super hot, and I waited to get my drink so that I could have them together. I'd be back no doubt read more

A great place for coffee but no espresso. We had the iced mint mojito. This is a great non-alcoholic beverage that tastes fantastic. We didn't miss the alcohol. You stand in line, order and then wait a small amount of time for your beverage. Philz is clean and fun to visit. We recommend Philz unless you must have espresso. They claim the "Philtered Soul" tastes like a flavored latte for latte lovers. read more
