Crema's Take
“Philz Coffee in Manhattan Beach is a bustling neighborhood gem where baristas meticulously craft each pour-over with genuine care, checking in to make sure every cup tastes exactly right. The loyal crowd keeps coming back for their signature smooth, flavorful brews and that perfect balance of strong and sweet, though fair warning: they stock only alternative milks like almond and oat. With four baristas constantly moving and a solid mobile ordering system, it's the kind of place where you can grab an exceptional coffee on your way to the beach or settle in with the morning crew.”

Philz Coffee El Segundo is a solid spot for a great cup of coffee. The handcrafted brews are consistently smooth and flavorful, and it’s easy to see why Philz has such a loyal following. I appreciate that each cup is made to order, so you really get a personalized experience. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a nice place to sit and enjoy your drink or get a bit of work done. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, though during busy times the wait can be a little long since everything is made fresh. Overall, great coffee and a comfortable vibe. If you don’t mind waiting a bit for quality, Philz Coffee El Segundo is definitely worth a visit.
Great little spot! walked over from the Westdrift in the mornings for coffee and pastries for my crew. Had AMAZING ice coffee.. they checked every time to make sure it was tasting just right. It was open on Thanksgiving, which was nice for me!
This is my quick pick me up spot. Its the place i go get my coffee when i want something strong and sweet 😁. They prepare it great everything and it does get crowded on the weekdays and i try to order ahead at times bit sometimes i just need to go in. The pastries are grwat as well and sometimes good to mix it up and try something different. Their seasonal drinks will always give you something new. Also the outdoor seating is nice and the music they play give chill vibes. Not to expensive and just great place to chill with friends, work on laptop, study, and just drink a cup of coffee.
I hard the strong roast Simon ***. Strange that they do not have regular milk, only almond, oat and skim milk. Kind of spoilt the experience. The coffee was nicely strong and better than the average Starbucks. Their barristers took their time and business was good. Lots of bakery items on sale as well.
Ok, I feel I have to give this Philz location a full 5 stars because their service is so solid. This is a super busy location, they have 4 baristas just constantly making drinks and their mobile pick up area is completely packed with drinks waiting to be picked up. I came in a got a mojito coffee and a cookie croissant, which was very tasty, but I don’t dare look up the calories or sugar content of this. There’s one person on cash and food duty, so it does take a bit for food. And while I was waiting for my drink, I decided to take a bite of my croissant, but me being the uncoordinated oaf that I am, I dropped the croissant on the ground before I even got a bite. Disappointment fell across my face as it splattered crumbs in every direction like a buttery grenade throwing cookie and crust shrapnel everywhere. The nice lady at the front saw the horror and disappointment on my face and offered me a new croissant, free of charge. I offered to clean up after myself, and did my best, but she insisted. The notion was really appreciated and it made the cookie croissant taste that much better when I finally got it into my mouth and not all over the floor.
