Philz Coffee

A brand new Philz at Cupertino main street. The newer Philz stores are becoming so modern looking compared to the ones in SF and south SF.
Usually there is a wait from when you order to when you get your drink. But it’s Philz, not Starbucks, you should take your time.
Philz stores have consistently good service and good quality drinks/​food.
The ginger scone was OKAY. I still like their orange scone or vanilla scones from other stores.

Good coffee but not my favorite coffee spot. Sometimes the drinks taste watered down (and other people have agreed). I love the area though, but so does everyone else so when I went on a Sunday afternoon there were absolutely no spots to sit inside or outside.

I prefer my coffee iced and sweet. If you’re like me, I’d recommend getting the ecstatic iced coffee for a lighter taste or an iced mocha tesora for a deeper taste.
Remember to get your coffee sweet and creamy and let the barista know if you’d like to add more sugar or cream. Friendly and fast service but difficult to find space to sit down!

Specialty coffee, Mojito Coffee is super yummy and Minty!
Very refreshing and with just a touch of sweetness!
The mint garnish on it is a super cute touch!
Prices is like Starbucks, plus maybe a few cents more?
Whole coffee beans waiting to be freshly grounded upon order.

Can’t go wrong with Philz. They have been expanding a lot, and this is one of its newer locations. There’s some temporary construction going on so its a bit noisy for now.
If you’re into coffee, try a hot or iced Philtered Soul Water blend with a mint garnish. It’s my favorite and very smooth.
If you are looking for something sweet, the Mint Mojito, or the Mocha Tesora are also very good. You can’t get them sweet and creamy or they have almond milk as well for your drinks.
The food at this location is the standard pastries and wraps. I’ve tried the egg white wrap several times. It’s a healthy grab-​and-​go snack.
Skip the Starbucks and treat yourself here!

This place is much larger than their sister location on Steven’s Creek. There is more parking and outdoor as well as indoor seating. The décor is more modern with large open windows and abstract outdoor seating. Some complain it’s too modern and as a result the atmosphere feels more shallow or commercial but the products are still delicious. You’ll get the same great service here as you do with any Philz too. They still ask you to try your drink to ensure satisfaction before you leave. I tried the ecstatic iced coffee under the specialties menu for $ 4 (regular size. Large is $ 5.50). It’s made with a blend of Philz coffee. They ask you if you want it sweet and creamy. I asked for a medium sweet and creamy and it was perfect. I also tried the ginger snap iced coffee which was very chai cinnamon ish tasting.

I’m so happy to see that Philz is expanding all over the Bay Area!!! Especially now that there’s one down the street from my work.
This location is very cute and will be in what they’re currently building as Main Street Cupertino. It’s supposed to be similar to Santana Row.
This location also offers pastries, fresh bagels, and wraps/​burritos.
My go to drinks from Philz are the Tesora, Philtered Soul or the Mint Mojito. I always ask for light sweetness and light creaminess, but most of my friends usually like theirs regular sweet and creamy.
I did try their egg white and spinach wrap. It lacked flavor and is something I wouldn’t order again. I wanted to try their bagel that day but they ran out :(. I’ll have to try coming in early in the morning to snag a pastry or bagel.
The staff here is awesome, very friendly. They always ask that you try your drink to make sure you’re satisfied.

i love this new location, it’s right in the middle of a nice courtyard in the up and coming «Main Street» development in Cupertino. Cupertino has always lacked a downtown, and they’ve been working actively to correct this with Main Street; the place is a walkable strip mall concept made to feel like a downtown.
now on the the philz. every philz i’ve been to has always been good. i usually get either the tesora, the ether, or the ecstatic when it’s very hot outside. the ecstatic varies in quality significantly based on what the blend du jour is, but i’m pretty happy with it 70% of the time.

Cupertino, CA — Apple, Highway 280, Vallco
* Blueberry Seasonal Kouign (pronounced Queen) Amann pastry from Starter Bakery (never heard of until now but apparently a very legit bakery from Oakland, Ca)
* Staff person was nice enough to ask if I wanted the pastry warmed up! Yes, and I’m sure it made the pastry that much better!
Price in Calories 430 /​Serving Size — surprisingly VERY SMALL especially coming in at 430!!! Do one of these on the daily and Diabetes here we come!
Pocket book price $ 4.25. I’d consider this a one and done, say that I tried it as I’m a big fan of blueberry but overall so overpriced. Flashback to 50 cent pastries in the Baltics that are 4 times the size too.
* Coffee Tesora black, pretty good but after I washed down the KA I went back to counter and requested Medium Plus! A nice amount of cream n sugar.
Medium Plus is a very smooth, well rounded cup!
Will come back for the coffee and pass on the pasteries.
* Pepples donut (also out of Oakland) Blueberry, update after I endoulge again later today…
Big ups for Philz to bring in pasteries and a selection I’d otherwise have no access to! Staff very friendly and accommodating, looks like they are having a lot of fun and I can see how this place leaves SBUX in the dust.
* Public wifi that’s works super well!

Fancy schmancy new Philz in what is/​will be the new Downtown Cupertino!
This location is larger than the other Stevens Creek location, and if you’re lucky, there may not be a line out the door. And if you’re even luckier, you might get seating. The actual space is larger, but inside seating is still limited. If it’s a nice day, there are tables outside or you can perch on a «bench» near the flowers.
A+ Service — Service here was amazing! Every single worker was so friendly and personable and with their ordering model, Philz always ensures you have a great experience with your coffee. The worker asked me to taste the drink to make sure it was okay.
Now, onto the good stuff… what do they put in those drinks? Mint mojito… I could not recreate this gem if I tried. I even got it unsweetened with almond milk, and it still tasted so rich! Philz is crack! And that’s why people come back!
Also the baked goods are not any Starbucks listeria sandwiches (okay, that was mean, love you too Da Bux). My point being, this is good stuff.
Go to Philz. Go to this location (less lines, more space, nice day). Get the mint mojito. You’re welcome.
PSA (Parking Service Announcement) — If you can’t find any space in the open air lots, there is a garage, that for now, has lots of spots!

Philz is phine (and this is certainly one of the more modern and sleek locations) but for as many locations as I’ve visited, I’ve got to say that I really hate the ordering system and I’m just really not a fan of the mint mojito thing everyone raves about.
I feel like the the Philz ordering system is just a sneaky way to get me to stand in 3 different kinda long lines as opposed to one really, really, really long one and that’s 100% how I felt here but add in dumb because I also got into each line in the wrong order because it wasn’t clear to me which was which.
The location is really nice though and there’s a large area of beautifully manicured grass off from their patio. Also, the staff here were ridiculously friendly even after I spilled my drink all over the pick up counter**.
** Fun fact– I’ve somehow never not spilled my drink all over the counter at Philz. Every single Philz I’ve ever been too. I dunno.

This Philz is an urban oasis. A modern glass box in the middle of a shopping center, surrounded by yellow umbrellas and lounge chairs. On a sunny day, it’s too inviting to resist.
Like most people, I’m always confused by the Philz backwards ordering system. Order at the *barista stand* not the cash register. Ok, ok… so I do enjoy getting to talk to the barista about my drink, personal preferences, and then be able to take a sip while they evaluate my satisfaction with the finished product. It feels more custom that way, so I dig.
Their pastries could use an upgrade though! My coconut donut tasted stale and sad. I love the iced mint mojito drink, but this time I tried the iced ginger latte, for a spicy-​sweet combo. It was delicious, though had a good amount of sludge at the bottom.
Overall, LOVE the outdoor seating here, free wifi, and sweet icy beverages. I hope Philz continues to seek world coffeeshop domination.

This was not my first Philz coffee. My son lives in the city and has been a fan for years. Palo Alto opened up so we stop in after walking the dish. The Cupertino location opened up, but, the line…
The new Main St. Cupertino location just opened and it’s nice. Open and airy with lot’s of light and plenty of parking, (for now anyway).
I ordered a Philtered Soul. In hand and out the door in minutes.

One of the newest Philz that just recently opened in Main Street Cupertino. I love coming to Philz to get their specialty coffees and rotate between Mint Mojito, Ecstatic, and Mocha Tesora. I’ve been to so many Philz through out the Bay Area and this location has more of a modern look and a little brighter compare to the ones I’ve been to. I feel like there isn’t much seating inside but there’s definitely tons of seating outside if you’re looking to study on a nice sunny day with a good cup of coffee.
One of my favorite things about going to any Philz is probably their OrderAhead app! You can order, customize, pay and set up your pick up time. I think this app would be perfect for the engineers and students who’s usually in a rush in the morning.
Conclusion: I would highly recommend you to stop by this newest Philz location & check it out. I can’t wait to see what else Main Street Cupertino has to offer.

This is a Philz by name and by product. Yes, they serve delightful, aromatic, flavorful coffee customized to your tastes like all the other locations. However, what tickles my fancy about this location is its location. More specifically, the sleek industrial, modern exterior, to the large space inside with plentiful seating, and finally to the large patio and grassy patch in front. For now, and while not all of the commercial tenants have occupied the stores in this plaza, it is a relaxing and casual spot to drop in and hang out for a bit.
Service had the usual friendly warm vibe and I never tire of hearing your personal barista asking you, «Go ahead and taste it and let me know how you like it» when you pick up your drink. Wi-​fi speeds on this one occasion (late Sunday afternoon) was speedy, however let’s see how it holds up during peak hours and as more Philz Phanatics catch on to this location.

Wow, this Philz is so nice! I’m sure once all of their neighboring businesses open up they will be insanely packed though.
There’s a lot of seating outdoors and indoors compared to the one by SJSU. Their location has a lot of windows so it’s also a lot brighter and modern looking. I do have to say that the front seems like they have empty space that could be better utilized with additional seating but I assume it’s for folks who are standing around waiting for their drinks during peak hours. Towards the back there are sofas and a long table where patrons can work. There’s also a counter for pickup orders!
My favorite is still the mint mojito even though I’ve only tried a few drinks. It’s too good not to order! But I swear I’ll get around to trying the ginger snap one of these days… Service was friendly but it was pretty slow when we went. Around 6ish on a Saturday? Can’t wait to see what else Main Street has to offer :)

Philz Coffee. O N E block away from my work?!
This obsession, addiction, NEED, to walk over to get a cup of ‘So Good’ has become my routine. That light blend with a kick of a lil’ somethin’ somethin’, that nutty background taste, sweetness from the milk/​cream. THIS IS THE DRANK that will WAKE you & get you started.
+ Friendly & Helpful baristas
+ Plenty of Parking (right now)
+ Restroom
+ Cleanliness
+ Location
I haven’t tried the pastries yet, but will update this review once I do :)

Here’s the cool new Philz at Cupertino’s burgeoning Main St Plaza. If you’ve ever driven down the corner of Wolfe and Stevens Creek, you wouldn’t be the wiser to find this place on your first try. Trust me, I got lost twice trying to navigate to Philz which fittingly nestles in the heart of all the new construction.
This location serves the familiar menu. Your varying levels of hot Roasts and the infamous Ecstatic, Mint Mojito and Gingerbread specialties. Indoor seating area is kinda weird with its U-​shaped formation and off-​spread furniture. Same with the opposing patio areas with the huge lawn chairs and low-​ground coffee tables. The counters are REALLY tall and REALLY long depth-​wise. Our barista was so engaged in our conversation about non-​caffeinated coffees off the menu that she spilled a quarter cup of Sumatra almost completely to our side of the counter. She didn’t; and was cool enough to wipe it all down and fill the remainder of the cup again. There’s pastries and burritos here too.
It’s a big chain with all the new fittings of a modern coffee shop. They play cool music, there’s Wi-​Fi and the DeAnza kids swarm the place and squarepen of grass on the south side. Come here if you’re feeling extra showy in your new duds and put in your order of no cream/​foam and 2 teas of sugar for a small Ecstatic. That’s what I did tonight. Cool huh.

Came by the newest Philz the other day and it was excellent! Parking was plentiful at the half-​built and newly opened Main Street Cupertino. Crowds haven’t learned about the newest Philz yet!
Service and my Mocha Tesora drink were both excellent! They still continue to have pastries from Starter Bakery and take credit cards via Square!

Great location, clean and spacious interior, and super friendly staff. As with all Philz, the coffee is spot on — especially the Jamaican Blue Mountain, which is basically $ 10 of heavenly coffee.
The staff will make your coffee per your request for sugar and cream level (you can also ask for vanilla or original soy), and you’re asked to try it before leaving so they can make any adjustments if it’s not quite perfect yet :)
There’s lots of tables and seats in this location, with plentiful parking (at least right now given that the new Main St Cupertino plaza is still mostly empty). The main entrance is on the north side, but you can get in via any of the doors.
Definitely recommend this place!!:)
