Ordering coffee before you’ve had your morning caffeine is a risky endeavor. Thankfully, the Philz Coffee app is so simple to use you can place a complex order even before your daily fix.
In addition to letting you order ahead for pickup at the company’s California and Washington, D.C., locations, the app makes it easy to customize your drink to your exact specs (half caff, almond soy, sweetened with honey) and reorder your favorites. Even in a morning haze, it’s hard to mess up.
The main screen provides quick access to hit beverages like the Mint Mojito, the classic Tesora, and a handful of other winning combinations. Care for something more bespoke? Tap Menu and choose from more than a dozen different roasts, teas, hot chocolates, and decaf options.
When you’re ready to place the order, go to the Cart, select your pickup time, and check out quickly and securely with Apple Pay. Enable notifications to get updates on when your drink is being made and when it’s ready for pickup.
Pro tip: You can use your own coffee container and keep a disposable cup out of the landfill. Just note it in the Special Instructions section when you place your order; the Philz staff will do its best to accommodate.
