This location is about 2 years old now and is located across from the neighborhood anchor, Cole Coffee. There is less seating here than other locations, so youll often fight for a table (which conveniently have outlets running down the center), or find yourself in line out the door. Most of the time, I come at off peak hours after or before the morning and evening rush. The trash/compost is located to the right of the line, so its a bit awkward navigating your way through the queue. The Oaklandish baristas are diverse and usually upbeat. Be sure to grab the special pound bag of coffee roast for the month ($14 vs the $18 full price). I order what I usually do: spiced Philz bagel on sesame and a Jacobs/Mocha Tesora, or mint iced mojito medium sweet and with cream.

Be prepared to bounce off the walls if you go overboard. This coffee is NOT for caffeine rookies. Definitely good, strong coffee... But the mint. No, with the mint thing. Unless you particularly enjoy the taste of spearmint gum and stronger than strong coffee. Which I definitely do not. I thought, "Maybe... Stop being a coffee prude and try something new. They recommend it and its in so many of their blends". No. By the time I fished out the wilted mint leave the whole cup of coffee was all minty and... Ugh... Minty coffee. Gross. You hipsters can keep that one. But other than that...

Fast strong Wi-Fi along with filtered soul calls for a whole day in here. Sometimes I just work from my laptop out of Philz not showing up at the office. Occasionally I might switch chair to chair for comfort. This has about 85% all students from nearby Cal Berkeley. Service is extremely friendly and efficient. Never had a problem here that I call recall ever since their grand opening.

My favorite place to get coffee, ever. Coffee flavors that are out of this world with cheap prices (you can bring in your own cup/mug of whatever size and theyll only charge you for a small which is 3$) means Philz is 10x better than any of its competitors. If you want a suggestion, try Ambrosia of the Gods and youll immediately understand the greatness that is Philz Coffee.

Everything thats always great about Philz applies here - friendly folks, great coffee, and a really open atmosphere. Added bonus that its close to Safeway for groceries and a bunch of other fun college ave stores

Tried one in San Francisco randomly and I was hooked! A couple days later I got frustrated thinking it was just a spot but turned out they have a chain of philz coffee all over!!!!! So excited to stop by again

I love Philz because of their diverse flavor profiles. Their brewing technique is amazing too. If you dont to have coffee, I suggest having one of their teas iced. Friendly baristas. ❤️

Great coffee and pastries on par with any other Philz. Seating inside is often fully camped by people working, but nearby outdoor seating is often available for sipping your pour over.

If the line is not out the door, this is a great spot to grab coffee. Even if it is out the door, its not a bad wait. Starter Bakery kouign amanns soothe an impatient customer.

The concept is horrible! May I please decide for myself how much milk goes in my coffee? Also the coffee itself is one of the worse choices, especially when Peets is close by.

Nice Philz. Good solid WiFi and music is not bad. The coffee and snacks are excellent, as at all Philz I have been to. Definitely try the avocado toast or the veggie bagel.

Great spot to stop by in the morning for a coffee before heading in to work - it doesnt have as much space as the spot on Shattuck, but still really nice

Friendly folks, good coffee. Does fill up with people working during the weekday, but theres plenty of outdoor seating, and thats usually not all taken.

Great coffee, too much emphasis on the coolness of the baristas. Come on, its coffee. Dont pretend its rocket science or that you are saving the world

Staff always has a sincere smile and genuine welcoming. The coffee has never disappointed me. Consistency is difficult, and they seem to got it down.

Very friendly staff and relatively relaxed atmosphere. Went here for the first time and the staff recommended the house special which was worth it.

Perfect coffee experience. It doesnt get better than a Turkish (light/light) in the morning or an iced mint mojito (Philz way) on a hot afternoon.

Awesome people, delicious pour-over fresh brewed coffee. Mister Coffee-Genius (you know who you are) makes the best damn mocha Ive ever had.

Nice area to work, free WiFi and tons out outlets. Coffee is Philz quality, so you know what you get. Come to work but not for great coffee.

Good service and some nice strong coffee. Food was pretty good as well. Try the mint mojito iced coffee for something unique/new.
