Philz Coffee
1115 Lincoln Ave, San Jose, CA
Crema's Take
“This San Jose location captures what Philz does best: a bright, welcoming space where you can linger with your laptop or grab your usual quickly. The staff genuinely care about getting your drink right—whether that's their signature creative blends like the Mint Mojito or a straightforward Tesoro—and the pastries, especially the kouign-amann, are worth timing your visit around. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that makes you excited a Philz finally opened near you.”

Had a great experience at Philz Coffee. Misa made my coffee, and the overall staff was exceptionally professional and provided great customer service. Friendly atmosphere, efficient service, and a welcoming team — definitely a location I’ll be happy to return to. And my chocolate croissant was delicious
Very excited to see that Philz opened up at Westgate. I have been looking forward to giving it a try. Today I finally had time to stop by. Mint Mohito is my usual but today I just wanted plain Tesora coffee with cream. Tesora is one of the best coffees I know of. Good atmosphere here, bright and cheerful. Baristas were busy but still friendly. Lots of groups of friends hanging out and a lot of people studying. Looking forward to coming back some time.
I’m so happy that a Philz Coffee just opened near my place. The staff are really friendly, and both the coffee and desserts are delicious. Among the desserts, the kouign-amann is amazing — it tastes different from anywhere else!
Exactly what you’d expect from a Philz in terms of coffee. Ordered my usual via app and it was made quickly. Appreciate how large and bright the space is with a bunch of seating. Personally hate the design though. It feels cheap, commercial, and devoid of the local coffeehouse vibe older locations still have.
So excited that Philz has opened a new location right here in San Jose! I’ve been a long-time fan, and this new store absolutely lives up to the name. The space is bright, clean, and welcoming – perfect for catching up with friends or getting some work done. Of course, the coffee is phenomenal as always. My go-to is the Mint Mojito (a classic!), but the team here really knows how to make every cup just right – customized, flavorful, and always made with care. Staff are friendly, patient, and super helpful if you’re new to the Philz experience.
