I chose this place because of the photos of the avocado toast. They’ve discontinued a lot of the fresh food since covid. As another reviewer mentioned, everything is premade and microwaved. The bakery goods are also not the freshest
Have only been to Philz once, and Im a convert! The coffee was fantastic (both black & with light cream). The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and fun! Will definitely be back!
SORRY STARBUCKS, BUT WE’RE OFFICIALLY BREAKING UP!! I happened to be staying in Manhattan Beach and I stumbled upon this gem of a coffee shop. At first, I was a bit confused about why I was waiting so long for a coffee, since I’m so accustomed to being herded in and out of my usual coffee shop as I rush to the next checklist item on my agenda for the day. But my experience at Philz Coffee reminded me that the best things in life truly are worth waiting for. I’ve never had a coffee that makes me think of a past vacation that I’ve had, but the coffee named “Dancing Water” with a hint of steamed Oat Milk was so smooth and mellow that it reminded me more of a, “Staying at a luxury resort on a calm tropical beach” coffee than a, “Driving into crazy LA morning rush hour traffic so I better get amped up” coffee.Lake was the name of my server and she was very kind. I loved the fact that she actually came around the counter to hand me my coffee and she asked me to taste it and let her know if it was to my liking. If not, she would be happy to remake it. Now THAT is what you call true craftsmanship and service. Thank you Philz Coffee. You guys really changed my morning and enhanced my view of what a great business that really cares about their customers really looks like. I will definitely be recommending you to all of my friends who visit the LA area.
The coffee was good but there was way too much mint in the mint mojito coffee and the sweet tea. Overall great atmosphere and clean patio.
I rarely write any reviews, But they have a staff who called Nick, He is EXTREMELY kind and sweet !!!!!I have some hard time to choose the coffee, But he really take his time to understand which flavor I like, And the coffee I get in the end, it feels like a Personal customization coffee, It really shocked me!!! 😆😆😆Thank you Nick ~To made my day ☺️☺️☺️
Great coffee, welcoming staff and the almond croissant I had was very good!Ill definitely come back.
Best coffee!! Cant go wrong. Can be a bit of a wait sometimes but great coffee
I went in for breakfast and it took 20 minutes because all food is microwaved and they only have 1 microwave and had several orders come in (being 930am).They had 4 people making coffee and finished all the coffee so it would be better if they buy 2 more microwaves and have the baristas be able to help out on food if needed.Finally, they make orders from paper tickets but they ran out of space so had to place them in a random order so my order was made behind several people who ordered after me.
The coffee is delicious. The beans are flavorful. But they need to get better at grinding bulk coffee.The latest sadness is they ground my beans waaaay too fine. Usually I check, but forgot this time. In general their grinding machine is very limited, they have a kind of coarse setting that works for french press but is too fine for cold press - even though some of their blends make a great cold press! And I dont think they have anything finer than espresso, so you cant try making Turkish coffee even though they have suitable blends. Invest in a machine with more settings!The real solution is I need to get my own coffee grinder, right now I just use a magic bullet.
I cannot believe this place calls themselves a coffee shop. They could sell better water than they could coffee! If you drink their coffee, your dead grandma will turn over in her grave!Also the hot chocolate was more water than chocolate. I could have made myself some hot water without having to pay $5. Do yourself a favor, stick with Starbucks.
What an amazing experience! These guys are legit.. coffee was awesome!
Philz signature Iced Mint Mojito is the best. Just have it with their Coffee Muffin Cake, hella satisfying. The original coffee blends are awesome too. My favorites are TANTALIZING TURKISH and TESORA. Go try this place and enjoy the aroma of coffee.
The mohito coffee was the greatest coffee I ever had. Service is super friendly! Cant recommend this place enough.
OUTSTANDING! I was hoping to return to this shop because I enjoyed the environment, the employees, the coffee, and the food. To be honest, I enjoyed every minute of my visit to your shop because it was both rewarding and worthwhile. In addition, the foods and coffee that I ordered are delicious. All in your shop appeals to me. BRAVO!
Staff was super friendly and the coffee is delicious. They ask you to try it when its ready to make sure it tastes OK. If youre not happy theyll fix it or even remake it witha smile. Love this place!Free wi-fi with no password needed.
Great tasting coffee freshly brewed. Tried the wonderbar dark roast straight up and it tasted bold with hints of chocolate. Gonna give the LB Belmont shores location a try next!
I had the iced mint mojo to, which is pretty good! I’m a tea drinker and usually don’t like coffee, but this coffee I can drink. The staff is really nice. However, the wait can get pretty long. They have a sign that says the line moves fast, but it’s not true, at least when I was there.Pro tip: take advantage of the mobile order, so you don’t have to wait in line.
Local chain with tasty iced coffee options. The iced mint mojito (nonalcoholic ofc ;) )is a go-to classic and the rosé is nice for those who like floral flavors. The coffees are group together by light, medium, and dark so there’s options for everyone, including tea drinkers.There’s free parking available behind the store. There’s a small patio with a few tables to hang although when I was there on Sunday morning, it was packed. The Philz is located right next to Randy’s Doughnuts so you could grab a box to go with your coffee. Credit cards are accepted. After you pay, you wait until your name is called and get your napkins/drinks/tops at the side counter. It took about 10 min to get our drinks, which was pretty fast considering the amount of people there. Definitely a good spot to get your caffeine fix.
I had a wonderful cup of coffee here, and I would be happy to suggest it to anyone. THANKS!
Great tasting coffee. Wish the app was more clear about amounts of cream and sweetener choices. There are choices listed below none and those amounts seem like more they the ones above none... Dont know how to explain well lol
Super friendly staffs. Istanbul Treat with medium honey + medium soy + extra mint = delicious! The coffee muffin cake is really good too!There is a nice outdoor patio for working. Free WiFi, and I had no problem getting a table. But note that there are only two outlets (one next to the sofa, the other near the table to the left when going out from the coffee shop).
Undrinkable coffee in a bad office park... service was mechanical and borderline mean. Don’t see the appeal of Philz- consistently bad coffee. Light roast coffee totally burnt. If you’re looking for real coffee in this neighborhood look up Urth Caffe- 100% organic, in-house roasted.
Only thing I like is Jalapeño Cheddar Bagel. Worth the 25 minute wait even with app ordering. Their coffee isn’t worth the long wait.
Hot chocolate more like bad it tastes like hot water don’t go hear ever ever tell your kids not to go hear tell your kid to tell there kids not to go hear it’s bad
Their mocha is on the milkier side and doesnt have a strong chocolatey taste. Smooth and mild taste. Good but not best.
Because its has shown a great flavor.
I love this location. Great spot in el segundo right by randys donuts. Gotta try their mint mojito
My favorite coffee place... Philtered Soul, medium sweet, medium cream... Long lines
Friendly, thoughtful and careful. And good coffee!
Best of the drip coffee choices. Weirdly closes of an employee gets Covid even though there is no science justifying that 🤷🏼♂️
Overpriced and the customer service isnt what it should be. Look else where and spend your money wisely.
Friendly and knowledgeable barista offering grind size info when buying beans and blend suggestions for the variety of beans offered. Coffee is delicious!
I placed an order through the app and received a notification that my order was ready for pickup. When I went in to pick up my order, the barista hadnt even started on it. How was it that I received a notification that my order was ready when it was not?I ordered an iced gingersnap and an iced Ambrosia they both tasted very acidic, bland and left a weird sour aftertaste. The gingersnap coffee had an overpowering taste of cinnamon on top of the already sour coffee taste. It was not like how it shouldve tasted like, I couldnt bring myself to drink it anymore. It was better in the trash than in my stomach. Ive never had this issue with my coffee at any Philz locations. They usually have great service and coffee.The customer service at the El Segundo location was mediocre at best. I would not recommend coming to Philz coffee El Segundo, unless you prefered watered down coffee.
Most delicious mint mojito iced coffee ever! Really kind, patient employees at this location. Cannot wait to go back!
Nothing like it...The ultimate perfections
Great customer service and the coffee is delicious. Highly recommended the Iced Mint Mojito.
Always friendly service & great coffee!
Coffee tastes pretty good, especially if youre a sugar and cream kind of person. The process of ordering at the counter and purchasing at the register is a little confusing to someone whos never been there. You need to order the coffee and then you kinda have the option to wait for the coffee or relay the order at the register to purchase. Youre left in sort a slight limbo of what do I do? before you eventually realize you need to go to the register. Ultimately its not a big deal once you go through with it so not too much of an issue.
Philtered Soul Cold Brew is so good!! Nice staff
You have to try the Mediterranean Avocado toast. Delicious.
Awesome, not the Starbucks quality
Coffee is bad. Food is bland.
I’ve been a loyal customer for almost 2 years. The customer service at this store is horrible. We’ve had gift cards for over a year and they continue to refuse to honor them. Very disappointing
Not a fan. Strong, no favor, tastes dark. I must be missing something here because I honestly dont understand the attraction. My daughter loves it which is why I have tried twice to find a reason to love it. Unfortunately, its a no.
This place is good but the wait time is outrageous, I think thats because theyre making everything by hand so they take their time but having to wait 30 40 minutes for a cup of coffee is just beyond me. Other than that its a good place.
A lot of choices, you will have to go several times to find the one you like. We had Tersora blend it was okay to me but bitter to my wife. Service was great. You just have to find your own bury treasure.
Delicious coffee and so many brews to choose from! The rosewater special is surprising and tasty. Cardamom is good too. These are not flavours but tones different beans have. Coffee is brewed in front of you and everything is available hot or cold, americano or latte, etc. Really worth a try!
My new favorite coffee spot! So much to choose from. Pour over coffee goodness at its best. My favorite- the Philharmonic. Love cardamom and mint. Im glad theyve come to El Segundo. Food is a little pricey, but its good if youre hungry and in a pinch. Highly recommend this place for coffee, the way coffee is meant to be enjoyed.
Really nice staff. I enjoyed the Iced Mint Mojito. Saw someone post a one star because of the coffee and failed to mention anything about the staff. What is this amateur hour? Ive been twice coffee isnt to die for but good customer service makes it worth it.
Completely different take on coffee and all gorgeous. Freshly filtered,beautifully infused, no rush job. Really innovative menu, coffee at the next level.
Great coffee. Many options not available elsewhere. I love the Turkish
Great place
Started going to this location in the early summer when it was new or something, but business must have picked up it gets busy. I recommend using their app for mobile orders if you are short on time. The people there seem very friendly.
Nice friendly service!
The hype is tastier than the coffee.
Best coffee in CA.
The coffee was the worst I got in my lifetime
Love me the iced mint mojito drink at Philz. So glad they opened up a shop in the South Bay. I never liked going to Santa Monica for some Philz coffee. Theres always a line here, but it moves pretty fast. The staff is always nice and friendly.
Good coffee but bit contingent on the maker.
Made to order, made to brew coffee. Recommend the silken splendor with honey as a sweetener. Coffee always the freshest and if you dont like it they will happily remake!
Great coffee, wonderful customer service. The coffee had hints of cocoa. Dark chocolate. Mocha tandora. 👌
They messed up the order but still a great drink.
Great coffee. The ordering, waiting, and paying process is more confusing than it should be, but the coffee is worth it.I usually get mine hot or iced with light cream and light sugar. If you bring your own mug, you can get a larger size for the price of the small.
Quickly became a morning ritual during our visit to Los Angeles. Love the vibe and the coffee was awesome! My personal favorite is the mint mojito coffee. When we are in town, Philz is where we will start our day!
Philz is great ! Unlike regular latte, cappuccino,etc, they actually have various flavors of coffee in 3 blends and they mix and match to deliver unique coffee. A MUST TRY.
Love this location! We came when they were almost closed and they were happy to help us pick our drinks and make sure they were to our liking!
Awesome coffee! Tesora is one of my favorite ones! Always try to stop by after lunch in the shopping center.
Always a pleasant experience at philz. Good coffee made to your taste. Nice outdoor patio seating area.
Friendly service, good coffee!
Good place to get your caffeine fix. The line was not very long when I went, but other locations can get quite busy so plan ahead and check Google busy times.
We love Philz in the bay area and found this location. Coffee and brewed teas are great, but seating is all outdoors without heaters.
Very helpful staff and a large variety of coffee roasts. Coffee itself was good and they even sell the beans to make your own.
Love the staff here! And I love that they host so many events on the patio
Great coffee and service
Dope. Small parking lot but if you wait 2 seconds, youll find parking. The line goes by pretty fast and the staff there are pretty cool. Its El Segundo so its not ghetto or anything. They have pretty cool drinks to try and it seems like theyre always creating new ones
Great service, and tasty tea! The barista was amazing... she took the initiative to double check ingredients I was sensitive to. I really appreciate that!
Excellent coffee...!!
Ive been putting off trying out Philz, just because of the parking. Im so glad I was able to finally try this place out! There was a little line, but it moved fairly quickly. We mentioned it was our first time there and our barista made a few suggestions. I cannot remember the name, but my drink was delicious. We also wanted to try a plain coffee, because, well, we are at a coffee place, and if they brew a good cup of joe, chances are all their other fancy drinks are probably tasty as well. Our gal made sure to let us know to mention it was our first time there with the cashier. We were given baklava, which was pretty tasty as well. I will definitely be coming back.
Consistent Philz experience. Good food, custom pour over; love me some Jacobs Wunderbar. Avocado toast with eggs is a menu fave
Make line two times... For ordering coffee then ordering food (??) Then no space to eat so I grab my coffee and eat in my car, ... Sorry I do not comes back. Place its nice but Need some one to organize lines and dist food. Servers very nice. Again needs to be organize,
Best coffee place ever
Great coffee place. I like their mint coffee. Cheers!
Philz is a chain of coffee shops specializing in pour overs, so dont go in there to order a latte. They have a selection of Non-dairy options that they do not charge extra for (THANK YOU!). I have absolutely nothing negative to say about the food/drinks, interior, or staff that is anything but praise.The location, however, is a bit of a logistical nightmare. There are 70 parking spaces there for all of the very popular businesses in that location. There is an extremely popular donut shop next door as well as a couple restaurants that share the same lot, meaning it is impossible to find a spot. Theres no street parking, just huge structures, some of which are not for public use.
I didnt know about Philz until a few months ago... Tried their most famous mint mojito and loved it... Also tried Tesora and it was pretty good. Came back on July 5 and tried their iced hot chocolate and its the best yet I have tasted. I was just sad because they didnt have the bran muffins and oatmeal cookie when I came... I hope they serve it until night time...
The people were friendly and the avocado toast and coffee mojito were great! Cant wait to go back!
