About This Place

Welcome to Philz Coffee, nestled conveniently at 1030 Davis St, Evanston, IL. This unique cafe has transformed the coffee experience into an art form, inviting coffee lovers and casual patrons alike to savor not just a drink, but a moment of bliss. If you haven't yet indulged in their offerings, you're in for a delightful journey through flavors and aromas.

At Philz, every cup is crafted with care. Their medium blends, like the Silken Splendor with notes of dark cocoa, citrus, and butterscotch, provide a comforting warmth that dances on your palate. For those craving something darker, the Jacobs Wonderbar delivers a rich tapestry of dark chocolate, smoke, and nuts, ideal for a cooler day. Each variety, whether hot or from a 1 LB bag, reveals a commitment to quality and taste that sets Philz apart from typical chain cafes.

The atmosphere in Philz Coffee is just as inviting as the beverages. Customers rave about its cozy vibe, making it an ideal spot for meeting friends or enjoying a solitary moment with your thoughts. One guest, John, perfectly captured this sentiment, highlighting the warm, friendly environment that welcomes both locals and students alike.

It’s not just coffee that shines here; their treats deserve a standing ovation too! The Mint Mojito, praised by Shawna Moorad, is a refreshing delight that deftly balances creaminess with a kick of fresh mint. And don’t miss out on the carrot muffin, a perfect companion to your cup of bliss, according to Hailey Kim.

However, every cafe has room for improvement. While some patrons have wished for a reward program to complement their loyalty, the overall customer experience is one of warmth and attentive service. George Zakharia’s review suggests there’s a learning curve with some of their food offerings, indicating that while the flavors are exciting, a little practice may enhance your enjoyment.

So, if you're in Evanston or merely passing through, make Philz Coffee a stop. Immerse yourself in the rich variety of their brews and let the friendly faces of the baristas elevate your coffee game. There's a world of flavor waiting for you, and it’s as much about the coffee as it is about the connections you make over these magical cups. Cheers to new experiences!

First of all, the coffee is excellent. The carrot muffin is also very tasty. And most importantly, it's incredibly pet-friendly, which I absolutely love. I highly recommend it!

Love Philz, just wish there was some sort of a reward program. After all amount of money I spend there, would be nice to have some loyalty rewards and treats time to time.

A small and cozy cafe for local residents and students. Great atmosphere to meet up with friends to enjoy a nice cup of latte and their companies.

The Plant Powered Sandwich is pretty good. Its very hot so allow it to air out. The contents inside (plant sausage and JUST EGG) will slip out while eating so it can be a little tricky. The sandwich itself is also pricey at $9.25, but it was worth a try. Coffee is a little bitter so best served with cream and sugar. -1 star for value and eh plain black coffee, but nice service and seating.

We can’t get enough of the Mint Mojito at Philz! It’s creamy, refreshing, and has the perfect kick of fresh mint. The baristas take their time with each cup, and the atmosphere is always great.

Awesome coffee! First rate quality and taste in a light bright fun downtown atmosphere. Great addition to Evanston. The only Philz location outside of California makes it kind of cool too.

Great casual coffee place. The beans are freshly ground for each cup ensuring smooth deep flavor. They also offer some pastries and teas. The staff is also really friendly and awesome to hit up for custom coffee blend suggestions.
