Cozy coffee shop vibes, never disappointed with my visits here. Food, drinks, service, always wonderful. I enjoy the artwork around the shop too.

Adorable local coffee shop, I love the greenery and the vibes were really nice. Perfect to chill and work for a bit. The food smelled really good but I didn't get any so I can't comment on it. I will say that I find that a lavender latte is a great way to judge a coffee shop; many places overdo the lavender or it tastes really artificial, or too sweet. Philter nailed it- The perfect floral coffee. We'll definitely be back to try the breakfast sandwiches and to sketch a little more in their community sketchbook (such a cute idea!)

We hadn't been here in quite some time so it was good to be back. The coffee here is excellent. I had both their specialty mocha latte which was extra chocolaty without being overly sweet, and a Cortado which was also very good. The food menu was a little limited but the breakfast sandwiches were good. The service was friendly and efficient, and the place has great ambience. We will be back.

A very cool coffee shop with artsy vibes and plenty of plants adorning the space. They use Ceremony coffee beans. I had their classic bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on sourdough. It was a bit underwhelming due to its lack of flavor. Nothing great, nothing bad, just eh. Maybe the bread was too large for the sandwich - the proportions just felt off. I love the vibes here though, and I will come back for more coffee. Maybe I’ll just skip on the sandwich.

Great place to get excellent espresso and draw a mouse (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠). Highly recommend for a local place that will make you feel right at home. And most important... the latte was excellent. Breakfast sandwich great with added herbs. I also bought some artisan chocolate Soma which is YUM (Old school rough ground).

Pretty good latte. I got a honey latte and thought the microcosm was great. The honey was a bit sparse I thought though and the art was a good attempt. I really enjoyed the atmosphere with all the plants and life around.

Phenomenal breakfast sandwiches, some of the best weve ever had. Flavors like sweet daikon take them over the top. We frequent philter often for both breakfast and coffees. From pour over to a dessert latte, they make everything very well.

Stopped in to Philter for a quick coffee and place to work while in the area. I got the iced autumn latte, which was very tasty. Balanced, a little nutty and not overly sweet. The interior was cozy with lots of plants. I do want to note that there was a lot of built up dirt/grime in the bathroom, which was a bit off putting.
