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

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

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

Absolutely awful. the coffee is fine, but 25 min wait for a cup of coffee? Nope. I would aay skip it

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

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

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 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

Love Philz! The mint mojito is my favorite. I had that with a jalapeño & cheese bagel, it was delicious 10/10! This location is cute; a bit isolated but I was there early in the morning, it's probably busy during the day/week. 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

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

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've tried this place two separate times, and both times my order was so bad that I had to throw my drink in the trash. I'm not sure what's up with these baristas but they probably should find another profession or be retrained. 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

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

Philz has become my favorite coffee establishment of all time, and this location is great. The service is lovely, and the wait is pretty short. 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

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

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

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

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

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

Yes yes yes, delicious coffee, has a blend "caro ". Deliciously flavorful coffee. I get my coffe black when I want to enjoy the flavor. And yup yup my seal of approval, I got a chocolate croissants and it yummy. Is a hidden gem on lake . So what are you waiting for go get your coffee read more

Haven't had Philz in a hot minute, but their Philtered Soul with honey was yum. Wasn't too sweet and just the right amount of bitterness. Baristas were nice and provided good recommendations to try. read more

The coffee is solid and the unique recipes are what you expect from Philz. Always consistent and always good. No complaints about the drinks or the service. The parking situation is a joke. I had to pay fifteen dollars to park in the structure with no validation. Street parking is just as bad. It is ridiculous to pay more for parking than for the coffee. Be ready to get ripped off if you are driving here. Good coffee. Terrible parking. That is the summary. 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

Bad customer service! My friend and I were standing in line. When it was our turn to order, the cashier told us he would not take our order because the lady behind us had come first--which was not true. The lady herself told him that we had actually arrived first. The cashier did not even apologize. When we picked up our drinks, they didn't give us lids either. Terrible service. I will not be coming back. I felt like I was being discriminated against. read more

This little spot is great, and always busy. My daughter swears by the honey latte and I like the rose latte (very Pasadena). You get to customize the amount of milk and sweetener, which I like. Sit on the patio if there's room, very cute. read more

Philz is my favorite coffee chain and I go here every week for a hot brew! I remember about a decade ago Philz only had stores in Norcal; my first time trying Philz was in San Jose and I really enjoyed their signature mint mojito. If you are going there for the first time and want to try a unique iced drink, you can't go wrong with their mint mojito! Fast forward, there are now multiple stores in Socal whoo hoo! I love how they do pourover and each cup is brewed fresh! I rotate between their dark and medium roasts. I get a hot brew with their creamy cream option. You can customize the milk/cream and sugar/sweetener options and ratio. I also get the green chili breakfast burrito with hot sauce. The burrito is small and filled with egg, potatoes, cheese and green chile. It will hit the spot if you are looking for a quick bite. I usually order through their mobile app and the drinks/food are always on time. I park at the 3 min green curb located in the back. The baristas are always nice. If you order the drinks in the store, they will ask if you want to try the drink so they can make any adjustments. There are multiple seats and tables inside and outside at the patio. 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

I had Skye as my barista. She was absolutely the sweetest soul. I tired a new seasonal drink and wasn't in love with it so she helped me explore the menu options. She was so kind, patient, and had a warm energy to her. read more

Philz is my coffee cornerstone. I went the first five years after discovering Philz never ordering anything other than a Mint Mojito, sweet and creamy style (there was simply no reason to - it's the perfect drink). But now in my advanced age (i'm 23) I've picked up a penchant for black coffee. The workers at Philz are so nice that when I asked for recommendations, I was moved to order their house coffee the dark roast Jacob's Wonderbar. When I tried it and realized it wasn't for me, they were more than happy to replace with my usual favorite the Philtered Soul. Honorary mention to their Honey Haze, a drink I ordered once when they ran out of mint that stays on my mind more frequently than I care to admit for its mild flavor and creamy texture that coats the inside of your mouth. It's like a giant fuzzy bee is in occupying space there but in the best way possible. read more

Ahh... Philz. Where do I even begin? After months away, I finally made my long-overdue return--and I'm proud to say I'm back as a full-fledged Philz addict. I used to be loyal to the iced Mint Mojito, but about a month ago, my boyfriend introduced me to the Iced Mocha Tesora, and let me tell you--it completely changed my coffee game. I'm absolutely obsessed. I've never been a huge fan of chocolate, and I rarely order mochas, but Philz does it so well. It's rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced--not overly sweet, just deliciously indulgent. The service is always friendly, but the wait can be a bit long, so I highly recommend ordering ahead on their app for a quick and easy pickup. If you're in the mood for a bite, their breakfast burritos are a solid option--at just $6, they're great for a quick and satisfying meal. Would I recommend doing work here? Maybe not-- it can get pretty crowded, loud, and there aren't many desks suited for laptops. If you're looking for a place to sit and grind through emails during peak business hours, this might not be the best spot. Nothing hits quite like Philz after a SoulCycle class. This place is a must for me every time. read more
