    Ginger snap with decaf beside dog treats
    Celton M.

    Stopped into here on a Thursday afternoon stroll down the Castro. I really just needed a washroom (and they have a clean gender neutral one!) but wanted to order something. Got the Ginger snap drink with decaf coffee, it was delicious. Staff were awesome! Not a ton of seating but I would work on my laptop from here.

    One of the popular coffee shops around the Bay Area for their different flavored coffees, they have some mixed specialized drinks but usually it's the coffee you choose and you decide how much cream and sugar you like. I don't like my drinks as sweet and creamy so I usually as for less. I go for the Philtered Soul or Mocha Tesora. My younger years everyone would get the Iced Mint Mojito and that would get me wired. There's both indoor and some outdoor seating here, very nice and cozy inside. There's street parking and service is great! When you get your drink they call out your name and you can try it to adjust your sweetness to your liking!

    If you're from SF or the bay and you still haven't tried Philz yet,...well, I really can't help you there as you've probably been living under a rock. Unless you're allergic to coffee or caffeine, Philz coffee is a staple of the bay and really the best of the best, even with all the hot new trendy coffee shops in town. I admit, I'm actually a Peet's girl. Hey! They have a really great plant-based/vegan menu and offer vegan breakfast options! But I recently came specifically to this Philz location the other week to take my family from out of town and it affirms my opinion that Philz is still a great solid choice after all these years. They always have fun seasonal drinks to choose from or try the classic Mint Mojito. The baristas are super friendly and cheerful, and bring a close community feeling to this location as they are familiar with all the regulars. This location is decked out in rainbows and has tons of Pride, which I absolutely love. Tons of artwork from local queer artists are featured and available to buy!

    cool and friendly baristas

    The coffee was so tasty and the food looked so amazing the ambiance is inviting and the service was thoughtful and helpful and inviting. They gave a wide variety of breakfast food and pastries the local art is refreshing

    The MOST FUN Philz Coffee ever!

    Always love visiting Philz! The Mint Mojito and Ginger Snap are staples in my coffee-drinking diet. This spot is lovely! Dressed up with pride flags and portraits of Harvey Milk. This is certainly the coffee shop for the Castro and a lovely spot for anyone to visit. Deanna (they/them) is a wonderful coffee-make. They made a delicious Ginger Snap for me today! The whole staff was stellar!

    ** The following review reflects my takeout experience DURING the COVID-19 pandemic. ** This particular Philz Coffee and I go way back..way, way back when it was around the corner next to the laundromat where QualiTea is. Bubble tea is the new latte, at least it probably feels that way to the BTS-obsessed crowd, but to the rest of us, the ones who still have vinyl LPs in the attic, we follow Philz wherever he may relocate. Especially during a pandemic when the comfort of their individual brews become essential sustenance, and they make it easy with the Philz app where I can time my pickup just as I pass by. Of course I got my Large Silken Splendor Light/Light for $5.46 (photo: https://bit.ly/3q6YehT). What else is there? COFFEE - 5 stars...Philz. Full stop. AMBIANCE - n/a...the view from the outside is just fine SERVICE - 5 stars...on time and ready to imbibe TOTAL - 5 stars...needed ambrosia in the time of COVID RELATED - Exploring the Castro?

    I was visiting SF for a short period, and I didn't know about this coffee place. I just walked in bc I desperately needed a bitter sip of coffee when I was walking through Castro. In all honesty, the super queer vibe drew me in :) I love seeing businesses like this around the town. It's such a friendly vibe, and this location has displays/sales of artworks by local artists, which is so pleasing to look at. I got the ecstatic iced coffee (not pictured), and it was great! It wasn't sour like most other coffee places, so it was perfect for satisfying my cravings.

    I really enjoyed the Mint Mojito but i'm wondering what other coffee can anyone suggest for me to try? i like mine with cream and sugar (hot or cold, doesn't matter)!

    I really like the Philharmonic. It is delicious black but I think it would be good with cream as well. ☕️☕️

Ambience 3.8/5 From our seating it felt very crammed, since we could literally hear the conversation of the table next to us. It also does get loud since it's very busy. I also think their tables are quite small for the condiments and plates, which I'm glad my partner and I didn't order another dish. These are just stuff to beware of. They do have beautiful wooden panels on the wall to look at. I highly recommend having brunch here and will be coming back when I'm in the area.

There are a few tables outside the restaurant that are slanted on a small hill and a platform with a few tables on the street. We were seated on a table on the hill and had to be mindful of fluids/sauces filled to the brim. Blankets are also provided on each chair in case it gets breezy outside. The menu is set daily, so the dishes can vary from what's shown in previous photos. After ordering, it took over 30 minutes for our food to arrive. The summer vegetable hash comes with beans, squash, tomatoes, corn, carrots, peppers and eggs. I typically associate hash with potatoes, but surprisingly this dish does not come with potatoes. The dish was fairly mild, with most of the flavor coming from the individual vegetables. It's definitely a lighter, healthier take on hash and would be a good option if you're looking for something with more vegetables. The plow comes with eggs, lemon ricotta pancakes, potatoes and choice of meat. The lemon riccota pancakes were the star of the dish- light, fluffy and not too sweet. The potatoes were crispy. The steak + eggs was a hearty option. The steak was tender and juicy and went well with the chermoula sauce. Overall, I'm glad I got to try this restaurant at least once, but hesistant to come back because of the long wait and value of each plate.
