istg I daydream about it. Idk what they've laced it with. I don't even drink coffee regularly. Like once every couple weeks. And I'm not close enough to a Philz to get it more than a few times a year. But I do spend the rest of the year thinking and plotting my way to a Phillz. It's probably good I don't live near one. I think I like it because it's pour overs and most cafe drinks tend to be espresso. But even other coffee shop pour overs do not compare. It's so smooth. (no one asked but I copy my cousin's order which is a philtered soul with cinnamon in the filter, sweet and creamy)
i talk a big game re: hating on various sugary starbucks "creations" (what happened to coffee-flavored coffee, etc. etc.) and yet when i am in an area that has a Philz coffee, i will not hesitate to order an iced mint mojito coffee "the house way." it's not coffee...it's more like poetry. it looks like "royce" made my coffee, thank you royce!
I'm not a picky coffee drinker so I always like to see if there is something special that I can get, hopefully a mocha. I no longer have a local coffee shop :(
The go-to coffee place in my neighborhood has really good beans (especially when compared to the one the college kids go crazy for - those beans are burnt, children!) and it’s super cheap
I’ve been having their iced latte with oat milk for most of the year while my partner gets their coffee jelly. He likes his coffee super sweet though and I love mine with three espresso shots. I decided to add coffee jelly to my order yesterday and: I am forever changed
It's so lawless. You’ll see the weirdest things and no one will care. People are so unabashedly human here. Dead expressions, exhaustion, boredom. You’ll get a coffee, someone else will get a bloody mary, the time is irrelevant. Your priorities will be tested, everything costs at least three times as much as it should, it won’t matter. I love liminal spaces.
