Philz Coffee — Restaurant in San Mateo

love coming here after school to grab a drink especially w/ the order ahead option thru the philz app to save time! shout out to dylan (?? not entirely sure, the little chalkboard said "Dylan" on it, but it was a guy with light brownish hair) this afternoon for remaking my order right on the spot as i accidentally placed my order to the wrong location (the palo alto philz on forest ave). that was rly kind, please give this man a raise! the wifi here is pretty good (you have to use the hillsdale mall wifi as there is no specific philz wifi), i was able to load a 500 page pdf document on the weekend for a reading assignment. there are outlets if you choose a seat near the wall, and the music is usually at a medium-ish level. would definitely recommend bringing your own noise cancelling headphones if ur going to be requiring intense concentration tho. my go to order is probably the honey haze (or the oatmeal cookie drink) and the roasted chicken yellow rice burrito! has never failed me and it probably...

Came here for an afternoon pick me up to walk around the mall. Saw they advertised a new oatmeal cookie drink on the sign out front. I also wanted to try the Sweet Harmony but decided to go for it next time.

The oatmeal cookie drink was tasty! My friend enjoyed her Sweet Harmony too. It woke us up from our mid-day slump.

The service was friendly and the store was clean. Just wish things were...

In A Nutshell:

-Philz Coffee regardless of location is the BEST coffee in the world! -This store is very clean & modern. -There is plenty of natural light & high ceilings to make it feel lovely. -When a first time customer walked in this morning & asked "whats the strongest one you got" I couldnt help but interject with recommending the Greater Alarm, the employee nodded in approval. -My faves are the classic Tesora or Silken Splendor.

Overall, grab a cup of Philz &...
