Philz Coffee is and will always be one of my absolute favorite stops downtown, and every visit reminds me why. The energy here is unbeatable--there's something about the mix of people working, chatting, and just soaking in the city that makes it the perfect spot for a little people‑watching while you sip something amazing. My go‑to drink will always be the Mint Iced Mojito (oat milk, extra creamy and sweet!). It's refreshing, smooth, and perfectly balanced--hands down one of the best iced coffee drinks anywhere! But what keeps things exciting is how consistently great their seasonal offerings are. Whether it's a limited‑time blend or a fun twist on a classic, they always manage to make something that feels both new and reliably Philz. They also have a nice selection of bakery items, which are great for a quick bite, but ask my husband, the real star of the show is the pour‑over coffee. You can taste the care in every cup. Each one is brewed individually, and it makes such a difference--rich, aromatic, and crafted exactly the way you want it. I could honestly watch the baristas all day! Between the handcrafted drinks, the friendly baristas, the fresh pastries, and the lively downtown atmosphere, Philz is the kind of place you look forward to visiting. It's more than a coffee stop--it's a whole vibe! read more

Philz Coffee has some fun seasonal drinks. First time at this location and it was a good experience. We parked in a structure next door. There were plenty of spots and it is a short walk. The windows of Philz were decorated with holiday drawings. Upon entering, the space seems small, but cozy. Came here on a Sunday afternoon with a friend and it was pretty busy, but there was no line. I ordered a hot Tiramisu latte with almond milk and my friend ordered an Iced Mint Mojito. We also ordered a Cadamom Squiggle to share and asked for it warmed up. We were not called to pick up our drinks, so not sure when they were ready. We waiting about 5-10 minutes for them. Since there weren't any available seats inside, we sat outside. The Cardamom Squiggle was solid. Good cardamom flavor without being overpowering and the dough was buttery. The Tiramisu latte did not taste like tiramisu. It was an okay coffee drink. It tasted more like milk with a side of coffee. My friend liked her Iced Mint Mojito though. Overall, giving Philz Coffee a 3.5/5. Previous experiences have been better. Service and coffee at this location are okay. Maybe I need to try a drink I have had before to compare. Would not recommend based on this experience but would try them again. read more

The service at this Philz is always outstanding. I came by last week for a quick pick-me-up in the afternoon and it was such a nice way to end my work day! I brought my laptop. There is limited seating, but free wifi is available. I tried one of the new winter drinks, Tiramisu. It's definitely on the sweeter side, so highly recommend asking for less sweet. I also normally don't go here because of the parking situation, but the parking garage near the library is actually free for 90 minutes! Highly recommend parking there if you don't want to deal with street parking. Anyways, highly recommend Philz! It's truly one of the best places to get coffee and I haven't had a bad experience at any of their Philz locations so far. The DTSJ one is the one that I first tried Philz at and I've been hooked ever since. Enjoy! read more

I've been coming here since 2008 and this spot never disappoints. It's one of the few locations that still does things the old school Philz way before they scaled and some of it's stores lost its charm. At this location, you order directly with the barista before heading to the register. Just tell the cashier what you ordered (honor system) and they ring you up. The baristas are super knowledgeable and are there to help answer your questions if you're unsure about what you want. When your drink is ready, they call your name and hand it to you without a lid so you can take an initial taste test. If you're not satisfied, they'll fix it on the spot. Once you're good to go, grab a lid and you're all set! Simple but such a nice touch that you don't see anywhere else anymore. If you're nearby, definitely stop by! Honestly, it's worth going a little out of your way and there are cool local shops and things to check out around the area too. read more

I really love Philz. I have a regional role for work, and San Jose is one of my offices. Whenever I visit, this is my first stop. At this location, you order at the counter directly with a barista and then pay at the register. Philz in general is my favorite coffee shop in the Bay Area because their seasonal drinks are unique and different from other cafes. I love the tiramisu latte they have on offer right now! I deducted a star because this location doesn't have a restroom, which is very inconvenient especially after the 2-hour commute in. It would stress me out to spend considerable time here without accessible facilities.... So maybe that's why they don't have one? They don't want people hanging out all day? It's very busy, but a great location, and I'll keep coming back. read more

I always love stopping at Philz when in town. The coffee is delicious. I always get some beans to take back home. The drinks are fun and different than what we have back home. Every time has been consistent and I haven't had a bad drink yet. The shop is always cheerful and crowded with people in the morning. It is definitely a fun place to grad a drink but maybe too loud to work or sit and chat. read more

I frequent this Philz location as I work in DTSJ. My go-to order is a Large Philtered Soul Philz way ($5.95) - medium cream, medium sugar. Minus one star for not using the Philz app for pre-ordering drinks. Sometimes it can take up to 30-minutes to get your coffee depending on how busy it gets. I've also had times where I've gotten my coffee in 10-minutes. Some baristas are friendlier than others, but I've never had any issues here. You wait in line, place your drink order with a barista, pay for your drink, then wait for your coffee to be called. There are couches and tables usually taken by studious college students. There is plenty of street parking nearby and also a parking garage with free 90-minute parking. read more

I've been coming here since 2010 and it's still one of my favorite Philz locations. Came on a Sunday at 10 AM and it was fairly packed. I ordered the Mint Mojito which was delicious as always. The wait was around 15 minutes, which is reasonable given the crowd. What really sets this spot apart is that it still honors the original Philz tradition - baristas ask you to taste your drink before you leave and they'll happily remake it if something's not right. Most SF locations have dropped this practice and even the North San Jose one doesn't do it anymore. It's refreshing to see it upheld here. The vibes are great and the customers are always friendly. I'm not sure if it's officially dog friendly but I saw a few dogs inside. There are also a couple of outdoor tables if you prefer to sip your coffee in the fresh air. read more

First time going to this location since it's right near campus. The way this Philz Coffee operated in terms of ordering and paying was quite confusing. Could've been managed or set up better but I understand how chaotic and busy it could be. I wasn't really satisfied with my iced mint mojito. I got a large with almond milk and Splenda (healthier option). I used 3 Splendas but my drink was soooooooo bitter. The mint flavor wasn't really present either nor was my drink that creamy. And I tend to get Philz at other locations often so this was a bit sad. read more

Philz coffee is one of the first coffee shops I went to during my first semester of SJSU religiously. It's always a safe choice to get and they always cater to your taste. Which is one of reasons why I love Philz. They're very customer oriented and make sure that the coffee will taste right. It does get pretty noisy due to the popularity of the coffee shop, but it just shows how well they're doing! Not pictured is the drinks. My usual go to is the ecstatic with extra sugar and extra creamy or the Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It's not too far from campus so it's always worth the wait and walk! read more

Every Philz is great but beware it may take a while to get your order. It's a bit smaller than other Philz store bc of the layout. The line blends in with the seating area. If it's busy, there's not really standing area to wait for your order, so good luck trying to hear them call out your order. I come here on my lunch break, but it can take about 10-15min if the SJSU students are also getting their coffee. I recommend the ginger snap or iced rose coffee with easy cream and easy sweet. The barista told me getting regular ice for their iced drinks are the best. Noted! read more

Philz Coffee is one of my favorite coffee shops so I'm so happy to have so many locations close by since moving to the Bay Area! Of course, I had to pick up a bag of coffee beans as well for some home brewing. The mint mojito is one of my favorites for a sweet treat and it's one of their classics. They also have plenty of other blends, ranging from light, medium, and dark flavors. read more

Philz is a little out of the ordinary if you're used to a run of the mill coffee shop, but that's exactly what I love about them. Who would have thought that muddling mint in cold brew would taste so delicious?! You can get most of their drinks either cold or iced, but I prefer the iced versions. I've had both very positive service experiences here but also a few apathetic baristas so it's hit or miss on that, but the drinks always hit. read more

My favorite coffee place of all time! I've been coming here since my college days over. At least 10 years now. This location is within walking distance to SJSU. We stopped by on our way to Christmas in the Park. I ordered my usual min to mojito iced creamy and sweet. They brew fresh coffee on the spot and make it to your liking. My sister in law got the Tesora which was delicious too. It's more earthy. She ordered it extra creamy. Love this place but it is small. Not a spot you'll sit and hang out in but it's downtown so you can stroll downtown and sip your coffee, walk yo the park, or find a bench to enjoy your drink on. The service is on point too. Everyone is always friendly. If you've never been don't pass it up! Way better than Starbucks or Peet's. read more

Nice little coffee shop to hang with friends or study during a gap period. The music always sets a nice vibe and the cushion chairs are very cozy. I'd recommend checking DoorDash pickup to gauge how long you need to wait because it's busy morning to afternoon. The baristas are very particular in crafting your drink so the cool time, sweetness level, and creaminess is always right. Staff are friendly and I think they leave the cap off at first so you can see if your drink is right. I usually see them put a cap on if someone's order has been out for minute. Prices are fair :) My favorite is the iced Tesora (light ice, brown sugar, light cream, sweet). With or without cream it's tasty and isn't too sweet even though I order the highest level. I think the consistency of the baristas and brown sugar contribute to the Tesora being such an enjoyable drink. read more

Philz is a staple coffee place if you like coffee. I enjoy that they have an app to pre-order, and they usually are done when it says. Only place you cannot order a head is downtown since they are right across the street from a college and are always busy. You can expect the place to always be busy. I've been to many locations, and they usually do an exceptional job. I usually see dog treats there since its dog friendly in some areas. Minus 1 start since they sell their coffee beans more expensive than they do in the grocery store such as Target. I always buy their beans but not from their store. Ordering for the first time can be confusing since you order your coffee, then pay in 2 separate steps. read more

Been going here for about 5 years now. Great coffee shop with great energy. I get their iced jack n Jill with oat milk sweet and creamy. Jack n Jill is pretty much half jacob wonderland beans and Juliet's beans. Great blend of coffee. I've also tried the honey haze, mocha tesora, and their new cold brew oatmeal cookie. Overall my favorite is still the jack n Jill. Nothing beats it! Service is always great. The workers give out great energy. There are times where they aren't as consistent on the drinks. Some days they taste great and the next day they taste a little funky. But they don't mind if u make adjustments when the drinks are done. Great customer service. Always will be my go to coffee shop! Very spacious place to study. Very open with plenty of seats inside or outside. Lighting inside is perfect to get some work done. Perfect music playing in the background also. read more

Temperatures were just under 90 degrees Fahrenheit outside. The air conditioning was great in here, not freezing cold but cool enough to be comfortable. There were a few other tables of people with their laptops out, and I was excited to see that they have expanded since my last visit and added more seating for customers. The lotus milk tea is still one of my favorites in the whole city. We sat at a table so there was no outlet, but I can't remember if there were outlets along the walls for the booth seating. The WiFi worked well and if there was background music it was not being blasted loudly. I would definitely keep this spot top of mind if I needed a reliable spot to work remote again, especially since there is now more seating than there used to be. Looking forward to coming by again soon!

I've been wanting to try their coffee for the longest, and I'm glad that I got to finally it during…read moretheir opening hours on a random Thursday that I was able to go. (On a funny note: I did not know that they were going to open another location in Fremont, so I'm definitely attending their grand opening when they DO open in Fremont. Fingers crossed that I will be able to attend their grand opening. While I like the cherry blossom concept behind it, it left me rather disappointed when it came to the service and making of the drinks. While the coffee shop felt spacious and more than enough space to accommodate everybody, it just felt rushed throughout the whole time I was there. Their drinks were another dimension. I got their EGGspresso Hanoi, which surprisingly, was not bad at all. I loved how consistent the egg batter was, and the consistency of the coffee was quite equal. I will be back to try their other drinks, and hoping that their customer service could improve just a little bit more. I know they have the potential, but being more courteous goes a very long way compared to being bland in attitude, obviously.

The shop itself is a bit small, so it may not be the easiest place to study for long periods, but it has a great atmosphere, good vibes, and a very welcoming environment. The outdoor seating was a huge plus, especially with nice weather -- it's the perfect spot to sit outside and enjoy your coffee. Parking in the area can be a little tricky and it is paid parking, but that's pretty common for most downtown areas. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this coffee shop to anyone looking for quality coffee and a nice atmosphere.

Also, they lacked the difference in taste and we couldn't tell apart the difference in orders. The Vietnamese iced coffee was horrible. It was so dark and bitter and left a really strange aftertaste. Though I will say the matcha guava was really good. The cream top tasted like fresh guava, and it complemented the matcha very well. That was the only redeeming drink here.

Each drink is hand-whisked, so well worth the wait. Their cold foams were delicious and super flavorful as well. I was so excited to try the mango sticky rice matcha, as I hadn't seen this flavor anywhere else. The drink has a creamy salted coconut milk cold foam on top and some mango puree and glutinous rice on the bottom. Once everything was mixed, the mango flavor does get lost unfortunately. But still, the drink was amazing and rich. The guava li-hing matcha was sooo vibrant! I loved how the tropical flavor of the guava cold foam sprinkled with li-hing balanced out the earthy matcha. I've tried other guava matchas with guava puree on the bottom rather than cold foam on top, but I definitely prefer the latter to preserve the matcha flavor. The employees were kind and we came on a weekday afternoon with a short wait. Order at a kiosk. Limited seating inside. I wouldn't say this is an ideal study spot, but it is very aesthetic and bright. Parking was not a problem since this location is in a plaza.

For the iced latte, shouldn't the milk go in after the espresso? Since it was the other way, the espresso was mainly on top and needed to be stirred. Seeing the workers, I know this part is thought out so just asking. Blackberry latte had a hint of blackberry which was nice. Not overwhelming. There is no waiting area after you order. You just kind of stand around somewhere in the store while you dodge people. Will definitely be back to try other items.

There was a mix of people studying, working, and chatting with friends; it's a very lively community spot. Despite how chaotic it was, the space was generally clean and the service was great. The cashier made sure to get our names and address us by them. The decor is beautiful, feeling intentionally designed. I thought it was really cool that they have a slow coffee bar area specifically for pour overs (I think) where tech isn't allowed, so people are just supposed to sit and enjoy their coffee. I've never seen that before in a coffee shop. The menu is extensive. Since it was later in the day, the baked goods were half off, which was a nice surprise. I got a blueberry latte and an Asian fusion focaccia bread. Blueberry latte - I liked this! The blueberry flavor was subtle and not overly sweet or artificial tasting. It added a light fruity note to the coffee without overpowering it. Fusion focaccia bread - This was tasty, but I felt the original price was steep ($12). My piece was around 6" x 3". The shiitake mushroom flavor was strong and I loved the addition of scallions and Chinese sausage sprinkled throughout the bread. Overall, this is such a cool addition to coffee culture in the South Bay. It feels like shop from a big city like SF, NYC, or Chicago instead of little ol' SJ. The ambiance and options are solid, and it has a vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. You can be a casual coffee drinker or a coffee snob and it will be a satisfying experience.

It really warms my heart when people show a great amount of care and respect for their craft. I was a coffee noob a few months ago, and have received an amazing education from the team. I really just want to say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you! Keep doing right by your customers and your products. 5/5, no notes! P.S. The Guatemala-origin coffee is crazy amazing.
