I used to get Philz a lot when living back in CA. So happy to see Philz here! I like the Turkish delight and mint mojito the most.

Excellent coffee--I recommend the Philtered Soul. It does tend to be very busy, but usually one or two seats are available. Unfortunately, theres only one bathroom available. It is not cleaned very often and tends to become extremely dirty. Another bathroom has been listed as out of order for months. With the high customer volume, its a considerable inconvenience.

Iced Mint Mojito. Just try it. You won’t regret.

A really nice little chain! Im a country bumpkin, so I hadnt heard of it, but it has a great variety of coffee and a pretty homey atmosphere, which is a great offset to some of the more intimidating coffee shops in the area. The workers were willing to help me out for my first visit, very helpful. Ill remember this place when Im back in town!

Been here twice - both less than stellar experiences. I really wanted to like it, and I tried to be positive. It really just missed the mark for me.First, they don’t have espresso drinks. As someone who exclusively drinks espresso-based coffee, it was astounding to hear this. Also, the prices are insanely high. My medium regular coffee was over $5, no extras.The first time I went, they started kicking us out of the outdoor patio area very early. I’ve worked a coffee shop so I get cleanup - but if you close at 6, you should close at 6 not 5:35. I know the staff has to stay 1hr past closing anyway, so why kick out paying customers? The second time, I waited 21 minutes for my plain pour over coffee. TWENTY ONE MINUTES. I’m not exaggerating. I eventually had to go up and say something. They were very busy so I cut some slack, but people way behind me in line had been served. The guy who was supposed to be filling orders was goofing off, chatting with other employees casually as a crowd stood and waited silently for drinks.Not great. Won’t be back. Won’t recommend.

Left 15 minutes after I arrived. It took that long to order and then wait for them to pour a simple small coffee. At that point I no longer had time to drink it.

I cant believe Im saying this but this is def the worst latte Ive EVER had. Ugh. Wish I went to 7-Eleven.

Philz brews good coffee, I’ve found from just a small handful of times I’ve had it. Nice touches I hadn’t thought of previously. So I was pleased to find Philz in Dupont Circle where my job recently re-located.I was frustrated the first couple times I went in though and walked back out. Several baristas, confusing signage, long wait.I decided to try it again one morning, really wanting a morning coffee. I commented to the cashier about the confusing signage and he agreed. There was only one other employee (I realize there’s a hiring shortage in food service so perhaps here, too). So I waited quite a while for that simple black coffee. It was good. But does my full name really need to be printed on the label pasted onto the cup?!?This feel like an imposition. How about just a first name?Sorry Philz, I’m reluctant to return when there’s other good coffee around. (But thanks for the mint sprig idea!)

The barista was so friendly and helpful. The coffee was amazing and bagels great too. Best part was we left our wallet there and live 4 hours away they were so helpful and mailed it back to us free of charge. Fantastic people!

Really great coffee. The baristas were friendly. Following covid restrictions properly. Bought a bag of coffee beans to bring home as well as coffees.

Fantastic coffee, hand made one cup at a time. Tell them how much cream and sugar to add, and you’ll walk away happy. I recommend Philtered Soul, or Dancing Water if you’re in the mood for something lighter.

Very good coffee. It was nice that they offered free facemasks to customers, as they requested them.

Delicious coffee (no espresso machine though), and tasty pastry. The barista and cashier need to get better in dealing with customers though.

Truly the best coffee I’ve had this year. Just a regular brewed coffee was a taste sensation here. Not cheap but wow what a difference from the other coffee shops in the district. You won’t be disappointed.

Possibly the best cold brew Ive ever had. The mission cold brew was excellent.

Very good. A Cali chain. Atmosphere was very inviting and workers were very helpful

Good coffee. No lattes though

Asking for a raise to feed my new Philz addiction! Soooo Good and the staff are wonderful!

First time at Philz and Im hooked! The staff were friendly and helped me order. The coffee is smooth and rich. I will be back, for sure!

I decided to give this place a try after seeing lines form every morning on my way to the office. The decor and the vibe were pretty cool and the blends they have all look interesting. I ordered the Philharmonic and even though the flavor was ok, I wasnt impressed with the consistency of the coffee. Being an espresso guy I am used to something different but would like to come back and try one of the sandwiches or pastries.

My first Philz experience was this location in DC, and had forever been my heart since. Used to live a couple blocks over and the baristas got to know us and just loved going in. They also catered our wedding and Shelley and her team were INCREDIBLE to work with. Iced Ecstatic forever.

I’m not a huge coffee fan but I will say this is a great place to spend the afternoon reading. It is very welcoming and friendly

Out of three orders made between me and my friends, two were messed up. My coffee was never made and I had to walk up and ask about it ten minutes later before they started making it, and personally I thought it didn’t taste good. The error was unavoidable it seems however, and thusly was no one’s fault, and I don’t like sweet things so the coffee may be more to someone else’s preference. My friends coffee was messed up, but it seems he could have asked for it have been remade. Definitely overpriced. My friend enjoyed his Croissant and my other friend enjoyed her coffee and muffin.

Great staff, good coffee, multiple options but little pricey overall good place to go.......

I hate to leave a bad review when the staff appears to he working hard, and I really feel for them, but 20 minutes for an iced tea is honestly ridiculous. Like... guys its an iced tea. Come on. This plus the couple who ordered after me got their drinks before me. I also asked for medium sweetness and it was unsweetened.

The worker rudly asked me to leave even when i am fully vaccinated but without a mask, even though the mask mandatory bend has been lifted, I sure wont recommend this place because Im actually visiting from Georgia and where I come from we dont experience such poor customer service. And if place requred a mask the good establishment will provide one and not disrespect the costumer infront of bunch of strangers

We had two Tesora coffees and the Philz iced tea. All were great. Gourmet stuff way better than most chain stores. The mint in the ice tea was very fresh and smelled great. I like my teas unsweetened and this one was perfect.

What a great find. This coffee shop has plenty of options and great tasting coffee. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the decor is cute. In addition to coffee they offer healthy food made-to order. While I was there they circulated brownie samples, which tasted good.

Spacious Dupont location of Philz. Lots of seating (bar, with table, just chair) in a really fun, eclectic space, as expected with Philz. Quality of the beverages and food are on par with their prices. Friendly staff too.

I tried Philz in the bay area once and was obsessed. I live in Chicago so its been a struggle to live there without Philz. When I visited DC, naturally the first thing to do was go to Philz and I was not disappointed. The coffee is amazing, I always go with the tesoro mocha. Luckily, Philz is opening a branch in Chicago this summer and its in my neighborhood. Im never moving out.

What an iced mocha... wow DELICIOUS!!

Super friendly service

I’m here almost weekly and have always had a positive experience. Mobile ordering on the app is a life saver to skip the line!

On a DC coffee trek and this is our only return place so far. Baristas walk you through the many handmade blends. Favorite so far Dancing Waters with heavy cream.

A pricey cup of joe but made with an attention to detail you wont find elsewhere. Friendly, welcoming staff thats also a rarity in the big city. California Love.

I got a philharmonic and onion bagel. It’s good and the people are nice. Good sitting area and hangout/study place.

Great experience! Great coffee! Great music! Great people! Just great#

Nice coffee shop, used to try it in SFO.Recommendation: ice mint coffeeJust next to the metro station,Dupont circle, very convenient to get a breakfast in the morning rush hour.

Yummy coffee and super dog friendly

I was pretty excited to come because the place was highly recommended by a friend. But if your concept is fresh brewed coffee and you’re going to charge $4 for a cup, you’ve got to at least train your baristas. I ordered a black silken splendor and it was incredibly over extracted (bitter) when I reported this to the barista retorted “well, you ordered a black coffee... I can add cream or sugar.” Again, if the whole concept is a fresh pour over cup and you’re going to charge for a great cup, then at least make sure you barista knows that coffee can be over extracted.

Was super excited to try this place. Nice, industrial chic atmosphere, friendly staff. All the coffee is ground and brewed to order (though pretty expensive).Unfortunately the fingernail in my food didnt make for a great first impression. Dont think I will be returning.

Good coffee but would prefer less strict covid rules

Little over priced!

Gr8 customer service and coffee was amazing

I tried the Philharmonic coffee that comes with mint leaves and the Philz bagel. The coffee was smooth and aromatic. The bagel comes with cream cheese, cucumber, and tomato and it was delicious (added onions woulda been nice tho).

A spacious, clean, and friendly environment with GREAT coffee. So happy theyre now located in Washington, D.C., but I really which they will open an NYC location.

Coffee is always hot and staff upbeat and friendly. My new favorite coffee spot! ☕

Excellent quality and service. I recommend the chai

Coffee was amazing! cute outdoor space...cant wait to sit inside and work post covid

Super nice staff! You guys are always so nice and great to talk to! The coffee is delicious and I looooved your hot chocolate. The pastries are also delicious, especially the lemon loaf. Great atmosphere to sit down and get some work done if you like coffee shops. Very good lighting too so youre not squinting at your papers.

Quickly became my new favorite coffee place. If you’re into exploring flavors, Philz makes it easy and inviting. We now use their Tesora coffee beans at our office since they sell it in bulk! This location doesn’t have a lot of table space (half table space half couch space) but the atmosphere is inviting and easy to get work done. Staff are friendly and clearly knowledgeable as well. They have a few unique gluten free pastry items as well.

Heard so much about it I had to try it. Depending on the blend you get, coffee can be very good. I tried a couple of iced coffees. One was amazing and the other I didn’t care for but they kindly exchanged it for me.Good selection of snacks and food as well. Avocado toast was delicious.

Delicious coffee and a great atmosphere!

Best coffee😍😍😍

Very good

Try one of their specialty drinks

It was my first time being in this store. I stood there for few minutes to get someone even to look at me forget about taking my order. I will never spend a penny in that store ever.

The best cup of coffee in DC and amazing service. I love to treat myself to Philz and make my way through the different roasts. Cozy atmosphere, great for getting some work done or meeting a friend

Was looking for a cup of cappuccino.. oh well just espresso with milk and stumble to this coffee place.. which i find stands out from the other coffee shop.. they have different blends mostly from the south.. we can customize the way we want it to be.. since i was looking for a cappuccino and they dont have espresso, the barista reccommend me the tesora which to my taste is quite light.. love it.. the place is full in the morning.. if only can open in nyc in near time ❤️

The egg sandwich on English muffin was lacking but the croissant was delicious. Ice coffee was good.

The fresh tea is made with raw, fresh ingredients and I highly recommend trying it! Unfortunately, the layout is weird. Its not clear where to order, where to wait for your order, and where/when to pay. Our table wobbled. Convenient location. Clean.

Unique coffee and tea place. A little overwhelming first time figuring all the different non-standard teas and coffees bit well with the extra time to figure out and try new stuff. Ended up coming back a few hours later for seconds it was that good. Food looked really good.

Its a chain with the warmth of a standalone joint. Great coffee and unique takes on ordinary drinks.

One of my favorite treat coffees is the Mint Mojito. Often they pack it with too much ice, but if you have them chill on the over zealous amount, youll be John Coffey in The Green Mile - in heaven.

As a frequent customer of Philz in West Hollywood and Santa Monica, this particular location near Dupont Circle in Washington DC fails to compare in service and quality. In my opinion, you should be able to get the same experience at any Philz locations, regardless of geographic location. Other locations that I have visited provide a much warmer environment and a better tasting cup of coffee. My recommendation, send this particular crew to train at a California store.

Great outdoor seating and location. Their coffee is on the mild side but the flavors are creative and the staff is well trained to make sure your drink is properly calibrated. I am referring to the store in Navy Yard not Dupont.

Being from NYC, I had never heard of a pricing scheme like this. Maybe its typical elsewhere. For coffee, no matter what you get, the price is by size. Easy. Its pour-overs only, which seems to be the norm here as well. Anyway, super friendly people. Quick, especially for a pour-over. Nice coffee. Im a fan. PS if you were just getting a plain coffee, you might find it a bit pricey. Actually, a lot pricey. AND, since I wasnt, I really cant comment on the taste or quality of the coffee itself, but my sorta latte was delish.

Yummy! Nice people too!

Nice coffee prepared to perfection. A nice place to hangout for reading a book, web surfing, people watching..

That was the strongest cup of Espresso Ive ever had in my life...The staff has great energy with each other. Great location and decoration! Good and efficient service.

Excellent coffee. I used to go to the San Francisco location. Focused on lots of variety of coffees, not fancy mixed sugary drinks. Expensive, but worth it for a occasional quality cup.

The Tantalizing Turkish was delicious! 😋

One of the best coffee shops Ive ever seen. They use heavy whipping cream, a trade secret for bringing out the full richness of your coffee. Very nice and knowledgeable staff that are welcoming without being overly friendly. I tried the Mocha Tosora and it changed my LIFE - everyone should try it. Love the environment here, would be my go-to coffee shop to work - not too crowded or loud.

Fantastic coffee and the staff is always helpful and friendly!

Service not so good

Experience to 100% good Coffee 😁

Ive just had one of the 5 best cups of coffee in my entire life and it was from Philz. Jacobs Wonderbar with a little bit of cream. The woman who prepared it was wonderful and the cashier and I joked a little about the character on my shirt. The only downside is that Im in town for a week and Im pretty sure Im going to overdo repeat trips to Philz!

Best coffee ever

This place is awesome and stands by a really impressive and customer-oriented philosophy where they actually make you your drink and make you taste it in front of them before you actually pay for it. Never encountered a cafe where you can actually do that. They stand out and I wish they could expand more on the east coast since they’re only in D.C and SF! Great cafe and Dawn, our barista, was a pleasure to meet and chat with! Warm, friendly staff and atmosphere. Wish they had more tables and chairs though because it’s a popular spot!

Great spot to grab a treat yourself! Definitely pricey. Purchased a large Mint Mojito for $6.16 with tax. It’s an iced coffee drink with a splash of milk, muddled mint, sugar, and milk foam on top. Super delicious, light, and refreshing. They have a good variety of other hot and iced coffees, teas and food! There’s definitely something for everyone. Would highly recommend trying it for the novelty. Has seating but most of it is used by people doing work. Will stop by again when I’m in DuPont!

Totally in love with Philz Coffee! I have always heard of Philz in Los Angeles, never been and when I saw there was one that opened in DuPont Circle, I knew I had to try!The experience is quite different than any other coffee shop I have been to! You actually order it directly from the barista (or are they called coffee brewers, since theres no barista machine?). Any how, the brewers are so nice and helpful when it is your first time and you just simply are clueless on how to order!Well I had told mine I like my coffee black and strong! She recommended the Camp Fire, which is a blend of their Ether and their Aromatic Arabic beans.After you order, you proceed to the cashier and pay for your order, then you go back to the person you ordered from and wait for your cup of Joe. She nailed it! My first sip was like a punch of caffeine and that intense coffee flavor that I love and crave! Definitely hit a spot!I saw there was many more drinks to try and I think the next time I visit, Ill try some other flavors out!

When Philz first opened in the Dupont Circle I said wow another coffee shop, but I was wrong its more than that with its free WiFi and comfortable chairs, tables and sofas its a chill spot for connecting with friends, socially as well as online. Personally, Im not a coffee drinker but I do get the avocado energy bowl (🥑, hummus, cucumber and egg) religiously. I go there so much they know me by name and often have my bowl prepared as I walk through the door. Im glad I was mistaken about Philz.

Here you can get one of the best cups of coffee around. Dont forget to buy some beans to take home and have a little bit of Philz for breakfast.

This has quickly become our go to coffee place at work. The store is nice and big with enough space to walk around and even sit and enjoy your drink/ food.They have a wide selection of coffees and teas to choose from (light, medium, strong blends).I generally pick a flavor from the light or the medium roast as the strong roasts are bit much for me.Each drink is made from scratch by the barista so it takes a few minutes, but the final product is worth the wait!This place does get busy during the afternoons but the staff is good at managing the line quite efficiently.The folks working here are friendly and accommodating and are ready to provide assistance if I am unable to decide on what flavor to get.Great spot for coffee in the area!

Phils was awesome! Staff was super helpful and my coffee was amazing! Will be back!

If you like your coffee black without sugar and creamer this is not the place for you. The coffee is very acidic, after two sips I had to throw it out both times. I would rather drink Folgers than go here again.

Good place for the gourmet and adventurous coffee lover. The staff is friendly and the location is prime. Limited on food and there seem to be quite a few loiterers during the day, but not as bad as the old days of SB, where every wanna-be-writer would camp out at the local SB for an average of 12 hours a day. Also, if youre looking for a place to run in and grab a cup of joe, this is not the place for you. Everything is brewed to order so expect to wait 7 - 10 minutes.

I spilled my freshly made coffee all over the floor, and the management immediately came over with a mop to clean it up and offer a free replacement. It was completely my fault, but they still came through for me.

Iced Mint Mojito coffee is a BOMB!!

Lots of interesting flavors of coffee here. Theres something for everyone! Ive tried a few different types of coffee from Philz but really like their Mint Mojito coffee. Ive never had this anywhere else.Their ordering structure is a little confusing honestly but everyone working here is very friendly. I think Id like to try some of their seasonal stuff in the future (hello, rose coffee!) so Im looking forward to coming back.

Really great coffee. I love the iced sweet and creamy mint mojito latte. Fantastic stuff and the staff are always so friendly.

Great customer service and really tasty coffee. I got the tantalizing Turkish and it was really good. The barista was super helpful too! I just wish there were more seating, but it’s a small space so it maybe can’t be helped

So glad my favorite coffee chain from California is in DC now. My favorites to get are either the iced ecstatic or mint mojito. The way they do their drinks with sweet and creamy is really unique and what makes them so good. Their coffee beans are also great to buy if you make coffee at home (the tesora and dancing water is really good).

One line is just for food and another for drinks. Watch out which one you get in, they are not signed appropriately. And if you want bagel and coffee then be prepared to wait in two lines

The staff was very kind. The music was way too loud and made it uncomfortable to sit inside and I imagine its even worse if youre trying to have a conversation in there. Wanted to try a new roast but was not impressed. Way too mild for me.The place is in no way cosy and I might as well have walked into a Starbucks.

The coffee here is tasty but overpriced. Got a large coffee and muffin and paid almost 12 dollars. Definitely not a daily spot if you are looking for an affordable option

It’s so slooooow ! But I keep coming because I Love the coffee 💕

The line moves fast, the staff are always engaged and friendly. The coffee here is always great. Location cant be beat.

My favourite is philharmonica. Want to have another center closer to Georgetown.

Its a place that does pour over coffee, has a pretty whacky amount of choices of coffee beans as well as different pre-made breakfast options. I appreciated most the efficiency of the different drink line and food area, but when it was getting crowded I noticed there was some slowdown since there are only so many places to pour over the coffee. The staff would kindly thank everyone for their patience.
