    TLDR: Pretty disappointing experience at Philz compared to other locations. Lack of a physical menu board and cold service were my biggest disappointments. Prime location right next to the Ferry Building and BART Drinks: We got the Mint Mojito (less sweet, normal cream) and the Philtered Soul (normal sweet, normal cream). I think this location tastes pretty similar to what we've experienced in other Philz. The mint and hazelnut flavors were very present but I do wish there was a greater coffee flavor specifically in the Mint Mojito Service/Ambiance: As someone who doesn't drink Philz often (I don't live in CA), I don't know the menu off the top of my head. This location didn't have any menus available until you got to the register. I stood around a bit looking through the online menu trying to figure out what I wanted. Once I got to the register and was trying to order the barista seemed cold and a little unfriendly. In all fairness it did take me a while to fumble through my order but that was because the first time I saw the menu was when I got to order Location/Decor: Great location right off the BART station and near the Ferry Building. The coffee shop is quite large so there were some places to sit around

    Attending an event around the corner in a restaurant on a Sunday, I learned that hot coffee was not available there. My uncle requested this so I figured that, being in the Embarcadero Center 4, it wouldn't be difficult to find but it was Sunday. Seeing a young gentleman as we crossed paths on the crosswalk, I asked him where he got the coffee in his hand and how far it is. He told me that it's a good walk and thought there might be a competitor closer. A light bulb lit above my head and I Yelped it in finding this is the closest option. When I reached one of two entrances, I was glad they were open with five or six customers enjoying their beverages or waiting for their orders. Walking towards the cashier, I saw a sign (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=MxR2mkaliQGBMOq6E48-FQ) where to go. Ned, who manned the counter, asked me for my order and he helped recommend my uncle's order as well as mine. I tried the iced mocha Tesora, medium (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=rfgejMP5rkkusHvLGyiT8A) which hit the spot for me in the balm, humid climate we've been going through. My drink was sweet and cold besides being slightly creamy. My uncle enjoyed his large hot cup of coffee mentioning tasting honey in his. Thank you, Ned, for guiding me in choosing both my uncle's and my drink that day. And thanks to the friendly barista who put our drinks together. This store is part of the same building as the Hyatt Regency Hotel on its Market Street side.

    Stopped by around 3PM on a Saturday to get some work done. It's very spacious inside with plenty of seating, outlets, and free WiFi. It wasn't too busy at this time so I was able to find a seat right away.

    If you want a specific coffee taste ... freshly brewed coffee for your choice - you have to try Philz... Light , medium, and dark blends... you pick your choice... I enjoyed the medium - with Hazelnut and caramel flavors - Philtered Soul.

    My friend and I were heading to the ballgame but we got there super early from BART. We decided to get a little pick me up, so we stopped by Philz. I have enjoyed Philz from various locations, such as Walnut Creek and Cupertino, so I know I was expecting a good drink. Iced Mint Mojito: One of my go to drinks. Sweet and creamy and they did it just right for me. In a medium sized cup, this has the perfect amount of coffee and sweetness and the hints of mint always plays through for me. The ice was just right and everything about this drink, even on a cold day, plays right for me. I can always enjoy a nice cup of coffee from Philz.

    Mint mojito (iced with plenty of mint leaves)

    Mint mojito, chocolatey and minty. Super close to the Embarcadero so after roaming around there, I walk over to get an iced mint mojito here. Plenty of seating, tons of outlets, friendly baristas. Although the space was very open, it was not as charming as other smaller coffee shops.

    My go to place in San Francisco. You have to try the iced rośe coffee. You will never want another drink again. The staff is amazing and quick. The ambiance is family friendly. Children or furry babies will be ha

    Philz is my go-to coffee spot in SF! Their iced Philtered Soul is a must! Very chill vibe and ordering ahead on the app makes it super convenient. Quick and friendly service every time!

    I love this coffee shop.Coffee is so good.Staff is friendly.So easy to use. Stylish and good atmosphere!!

    Long line / no staff
    Horacio M.

    Good coffee, poorly staffed. I know SF is expensive, but you don't see such understaffed cafes in Chicago. Probably a lot of pressure on the few employees that are there ... 10 minute wait in line to order; 12 minutes for the pour over. Ugh.

    Philtered Soul
    Cherry T.

    I always camp out here when I'm in the area and needing a quality, quick caffeine fix with reliable wifi and plenty of seats with outlets inside. Been going to their og 24th location and many others and one that that stands out is the consistency in quality and service. I love how much care they put into their drinks, never have they gotten an order wrong and always try to spell my name correctly. Small things like that really differentiate from big chains and other cafes! My go to is creamy cream w light sugar, Philtered Soul. The hazelnut is outstandingly wonderful paired with the cream, it's like a warm hug. Whether WFH, coffee chat, or picking up Togo, this is my go to cafe

    mint mojito, luca's unplugged decaf, chamomile tea
    Michelle Z.

    Finally tried Philz after half a year of living in SF and it didn't disappoint! I tried the Luca's Unplugged Decaf with oat milk and light honey, and it was really nicely creamy with a light touch of sweetness. The coffee isn't too bitter either and tastes high quality. So comforting on a cold day! I really like how foamy their drinks are. Wish they had more decaf options though!! My friend got their famous mint mojito and I tried a bit -- it was really good!! So refreshing, and the mint adds a really nice flavor that's super unexpected. I also love how creamy it is. This place is open until 6 every day which is perfect if you need a late pick me up! It's also conveniently located near the ferry building/embarcadero area. Ambiance inside is very cozy and has plenty of comfy seating. Definitely a place where you could work or sit & chat for hours. Super friendly workers and quick service. They play really good music too :)

    DO NOT PAY FOR DELIVERY…read more We paid extra to have our order delivered to our hotel and used the restaurant's order-ahead option. We scheduled the delivery for 9:20 a.m., but by 8:40 a.m. the app showed it had already been delivered. The problem? There was no food at our hotel room. I tried contacting the delivery driver by text, but never received a response. It was incredibly frustrating, especially after leaving a generous tip. We later found out the driver had left the food at the hotel but never told the front desk which room it was for, even though they had all of the delivery information. As a result, our food just sat there until we eventually had to go down and get it ourselves. In the end, I paid for a delivery service that I never actually received. Instead of enjoying the convenience we paid for, we had to track down our own order. Based on this experience, I would not recommend paying for delivery. If you're ordering from this restaurant, save your money and pick it up yourself. I paid for a service, but I did not receive what I paid for. Then to make it worse the breakfast sandwich was just OK. Nothing to write home to mom about. To say the least we will not be ordering her again and would not recommend this restaurant.

I thought it would be similar to like a Hawaiian style latte with macadamia milk, but it was a lot lighter than I thought. It was definitely very nutty, but it also just tasted like water down latte. Honestly not much going on with the drink, but it does taste lighter in general. Crazy have to pay $1.50 more to add on this milk. Overall, its alright. I do like the natural lighting coming into the shop, but nothing too special.
