We’ve stopped by Philter to grab coffees a few times, and every time is a happy memory. It’s a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The staff and patrons are always friendly and welcoming and the coffees and drinks are great. If you want an exceptional small town, unique coffee shop experience. Go here.

While this IS a beautiful coffee shop, I can not speak for the coffee as I’m not a coffee drinker. It’s nice when there are other options to choose from for us non-coffee drinkers…. Ordered a hot chocolate, it was just meh-sadly.

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.

I had KSQ on croissant, my husband egg & bacon, and they were delicious! We sat outside with our dogs on this beautiful autumn day. People are nice and good vibes inside.

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.

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.

Really enjoyed the food and drink. I had a ice chi latte and it was probably one of the best I've ever had. Super cute place for date too.
