GaryH Said: Philz Coffee has a status as the local favorite coffee house on 24th street in the Mission. Philz has been around for decades. Gets good rating on Yelp, and since located only a half block from Haus, I decided to visit. Posted July 17, 2009 link Exactly why I hate Yelp. And Yelpers for that matter. >:P

Posted July 17, 2009 link

I don't know about decades? Different incarnations of Philz has been around a long time. I remember being a chip vendor in the mid 90's when the location was Gateway Market, a corner liquir store. Phil then put his finger in the air and decided to be a natural food store. The coffee bit was his latest and obviously most successful idea yet.

The main thing Phil is concerned with is green, and I don't mean coffee beans. He is a very personable guy though.

Very nice tasting espresso. The Slayer shot tasted smoother and was more mellow with deep flavor compared to the FourBarrel espresso blend pulled on the La Marzocco's Mistral. (Click for larger image)

This awesome tasting FourBarrel espresso blend shot pulled on the La Marzocco's Mistral tasted even better than the same blend pulled on the Slayer. (Click for larger image)

Scott told me that FourBarrel plans to use this GS/3 and Versalab grinder to pull any roasted beans they have as an espresso. Totally cool!! Can't wait for that. (Click for larger image)
