Philz Coffee

We had two Tesora coffees and the Philz iced tea. All were great. Gourmet stuff way better than most chain stores. The mint in the ice tea was very fresh and smelled great. I like my teas unsweetened and this one was perfect.

I tried Philz in the bay area once and was obsessed. I live in Chicago so it's been a struggle to live there without Philz. When I visited DC, naturally the first thing to do was go to Philz and I was not disappointed. The coffee is amazing, I always go with the tesoro mocha. Luckily, Philz is opening a branch in Chicago this summer and it's in my neighborhood. I'm never moving out.

I decided to give this place a try after seeing lines form every morning on my way to the office. The decor and the vibe were pretty cool and the blends they have all look interesting. I ordered the Philharmonic and even though the flavor was ok, I wasn't impressed with the consistency of the coffee. Being an espresso guy I am used to something different but would like to come back and try one of the sandwiches or pastries.
