Philz Coffee, Berkeley CA

Coffee shops do not merely serve coffee. They create hubs for energy, meet ups, local pride, art and relaxation. They warm you up, invite you in, and represent sleek and cool.

When I returned to Berkeley, I spent months visiting coffee shops that smelled weird, charged high prices, seemed desolate and served bitter product. Six months ago, Ithiel introduced me to Philz Coffee, in North Berkeley on Shattuck Ave.
