0:56
contemplated trying

those locations but i figured heck it
1:01
i'll wait for the hometown area one
1:05
to open i have certainly frequented that
1:07
starbucks which used to be the daily
1:09
news building
1:10
on more than one occasion we're gonna
1:13
bypass that one
1:14
for now and head to the new spot
1:24
i love it through here so peaceful so
1:24
beautiful
1:40
one thing that's nice is pedestrians
1:40
that walk across here have the right of
1:42
way
1:43
so traffic has to slow down until you go
1:47
by
1:51

1:51

1:52
cold brew they also have croissants
1:56
you can restock your pantry with items
1:59
an iced coffee rose that looks pretty
2:01

2:49
let's hit remove okay we just need one
2:54
five dollars and sixty cents
2:58
uh let's see you got a tip on there
2:59
let's do twenty percent
3:02
for the tip select a location
3:05
and there's a couple of them here so as
3:07
of the recording of this it is august
3:09
13th today they open
3:10
at 10 a.m i am 0.1 miles away
3:14
it's located on north glass cell street
3:17
it's not letting me
3:20
it's not letting me do it it's not too
3:23
incredibly early
3:24
i've already been up for a couple of
3:26
hours
3:31
but it is it is nice down here at this
3:31
time frame
3:32
not a lot of folks plenty of elbow room
3:41
it's right there past what is now used
3:41
as a church building
3:43
the old theater has just passed a
3:46
building on the end
3:47
as of right now a few moments before the
3:49
official opening
3:51
doesn't look to be too many people in
3:52
line really liking the neon signage
3:55
there with that little that warm
3:57
cup of coffee up top and the cloud
3:59
formations behind it
4:00
now on the washboard it says store hours
4:03
6 a.m
4:04
to 7 p.m but on the app it says 10 so i
4:07
might be able to be
4:10
okay no i just i just overheard the
4:11
gentleman there at the front saying it
4:13
is 10 a.m today but after today
4:16
it will be 6 a.m um free first copy if
4:19
you use our app
4:20
and the benefit of the app the reason
4:21
we're trying to get everybody do that is
4:22
um it actually lets you come and choose
4:24
your pickup time
4:25
so you know exactly when to come versus
4:28
creating a big line around the block or
4:29
so if i order on the app today and
4:31
tomorrow
4:32
the first drink is free exactly it's
4:34
called you got it next two days and then
4:36
we start opening up at six o'clock
4:37
tomorrow so today we're opening up at 10
4:39
just because it's our first day and
4:41
set up but yeah going forward or six to
4:43
seven it'll be our normal and the reason
4:44
i can't order on the app right now is
4:46
because it's only 9 45.
4:48
exactly in 22 minutes you'll be over 22
4:50
minutes i can order on the app and then
4:51
go up here and
4:53
and grab my coffee i'm going to go with
4:54
the the mint now i'm being told that is
4:56
one of the most popular items
4:57
yeah the minmojito is one of our one of
4:59
our signature drinks so nice mint mojito
5:01
sweet and creamy is uh is pretty
5:03
incredible if you
5:04

5:08
coffee rose
5:09
um which is uh which is another really
5:11
popular one okay i'll do the mint and

5:39
that says how they craft
5:42
a cup of love but it appears as if they
5:44
have some
5:45
complimentary stickers and
5:48
okay these are stickers not really sure
5:50
what these are these little circular
5:51
items kind of looking in the window this
5:53
mural
5:53
is very very creative mural here on the
5:56
side where it says
5:57
phil's cup of love judging by this might
5:59
have started in
6:00
san francisco you pick your blend they
6:03

6:19
times been
6:20

6:24
for a long time too we're excited to
6:25
finally be here as well it is not only
6:27
my first time at this location but it's
6:28
the first time i've ever had phil's
6:30
coffee so this is this is
6:31
even more special i should have left the
6:32
lid off for you so you can see with the
6:34
mint and everything on top
6:36
oh it's got the mint on top oh you put
6:38
the mint on top a little bit
6:40
smushed in there with me putting the lid
6:41
on but yeah mint on top and
6:43
excellent does this now does this come
6:44
in a hot coffee or is it just ice we can
6:46
do it hot but we recommend
6:48
this one it looks as if now they are
6:50
handing out those stickers i gotta get
6:51
my i gotta get myself one of those
6:52
stickers
6:53
i feel so honored to have this everybody
6:55
else is kind of looking at me
6:57
you want this
7:04
don't you certainly has
7:04
a very minty flavor but it's not too
7:06
overpowering it has
7:07
just the right amount of mint
7:28
oh another little piece of mint is right
7:28
there
7:30
through the little sippy section
7:41
they gave me not just one sticker but
7:41
three
7:42
yeah three little stickers here i'd say
7:44
for me that was a successful
7:46
first visit ever looking at that
7:55
that hobbs battery signage up there
7:56
a little relic of the past there is a
7:58
lot of nostalgia and history down here
8:05
this camera sign that's that's seen some
8:05
years this states if i'm looking for a
8:08
a strong dark roast to try that wonder
8:11
bar
8:13
that might come in a that might come in
8:15
a warm
8:17
that might come heated also states there
8:19
are over 4 million ways
8:22
to enjoy their items customize the
8:25
drinks
8:27
and if you like yeah customize your
8:28
drinks take a sip to make sure it's
8:30
perfect
8:31
from what i can tell the philharmonic is
8:34
a warm beverage
8:39
it is a real beehive of activity out
8:39
here
8:41
it's good to see it's saying about a 15
8:44
to 20 minute wait so you got to be a
8:45
little patient
8:46
gives you a little countdown here up it
8:49
just went from 19 to 18. so
8:52
18 minutes i will have my
8:55
my other item two items in one morning
8:58
that i've never tried before
9:00
it's the makings of a good time right
9:03
countdown continues 10 minutes
9:07
oh i can almost taste it that really is
9:09
a statement that makes no sense because
9:11
what i am getting i've never had before
9:13
so i can't almost taste it so nice to
9:15
see i'm not the only
9:17
coffee enjoyer out there i'm not alone
9:21
only two minutes to go this is a really
9:22
nice angle here through these these
9:24
leaves of the trees the palm trees
9:26
oh yeah it has happened and
9:30
james right there even signed signed his
9:33
name
9:34
all right and this thing i can already
9:35
feel this thing is
9:37
a toasty cup of goodness i continue
9:41
walking down to the fountain and find
9:43
myself a seat
9:44
not a classic car alert but wow
9:48
i think out of all the seats i have
9:50
utilized out here this is the one that
9:52
is most prominent and
9:54
that i have kind of planted myself on
9:57
over time this one near kind of near the
10:00
edge
10:01
the rim of the circle if you will with
10:04
the
10:04
backdrop of the fountain sometimes it's
10:08
there's a lot of sun but
10:09
right now the clouds are kind of
10:11
shadowing it so it's a nice little seat
10:13
there is certainly a hint of something
10:15
else
10:17
inside there can't really put my finger
10:18
on it per se i did mention earlier that
10:20
there might be some chocolate i
10:22
don't know where i read that but kind of
10:24
does taste like almost like a
10:26
a bitter type of chocolate just a just a
10:29
sample
10:29
tossed in there for good measure
10:40
yeah i can't i cannot pinpoint what it
10:40
is
10:45
or whatever it is is a nice addition to
10:45
the flavor
10:46
see the logo has a little smoldering
10:55
topping off the the pinnacle of the cup
10:55
there so it seems only fitting
10:57
to polish this episode off with one
10:59
that's doing the same
11:04
a warm one and the sun's starting to
11:07
peek back through the clouds so i'm
11:08
gonna go over back over
11:10
closer to the fountain see if i can find
11:13
some shade
11:13
i'm going from one bench to to another
11:17
that's gonna do it for today
