    The hot chocolate was so good and the barista was super nice. I love this place! Also I'm 13 so it's amazing that they got a review from that age but, that's how good the coffee is.

    Tho not been a regular coffee drinker Philz introduced me to extraordinary drip coffees & service. I'm hooked! Try the Mocha Tesora for a different & delightful taste. Not just the same old mocha!

    N00bie tip: after ordering with barista, go to end of bar to pay, then go back to barista to pick up. Friendly staff, but confusing set up, especially when busy. PS: comfy couch way in back ;)

    Ellie is an awesome coffee maker. She made me a great ginger snap iced coffee. Fantastic! She also suggested me to try their hot one during winter and get decaf at night. Professional! 😎

    Absolutely and utterly awesome! The coffee is fantastic, prepared exactly as you like it. The service is top notch, friendly, upbeat and helpful. Plus the setting is just right, nicely chilled...

    Local art and a community board make this a true part of the community. Fewer baristas compared to other places but still fast and efficient

    Jamaican blue has really smooth finish and a bit bitter. My personal favorite is still the mint mojito. Don't forget to tell if you want your coffee cold or hot!

    Bring your own mug and they will fill it up at the price of a small (no matter what the size is)!

    Seriously the best place to get coffee in town. Try the light roast "soooo good" with mint leaves.

    Can't go wrong with a Mint Mojito. Real baristas and quality coffee at equal or below Starbucks prices

    Order your coffee at the bar before paying, and avoid standing there for 10 mins like a dumbass waiting for coffee they aren't making. Like me. You order the coffee first then move on to pay.

    Mint mojito iced coffee (medium sweet). Sooooooo good. (And this from an espresso snob!)

    Mint mojitos are great but get the ginger snap if you want something different.

    The Code 33 beans have a bitter aftertaste of earthy flavor that connects to the dark, nutty mouth.

    I've never seen so many people line up out the door of a strip mall every morning but the coffee is excellent.

    Ask for medium sugar and rich cream to get some south Indian style Kaapi.
