The Philz Story
Founded by Phil Jaber in San Francisco’s vibrant Mission District, Philz has always had one goal in mind: to better the days of everyone who walked in.
Made in the Mission
It all began in 1978 when Phil purchased a convenience store in the heart of the Mission District. He treated his customers with niceness and respect, always paying attention to their needs. He understood that if you put people first, you cannot fail.
In his off-hours, Phil blended and tested brews, trying to make the perfect cup of coffee. After 25 years of experimenting, Phil moved his kitchen table into the convenience store and Philz Coffee was born. From its first day, Philz was about quality and care, warmth and connection.
This is what makes Philz feel like home. It’s not just about coffee—it’s about people.
Our People
We’d love for you to join us as we build a culture focused on kindness, generosity and connection—a place where
everyone can be their authentic selves.
Our Coffee
Phil loved experimenting with blends because
it brought together different cultures and flavors.
That love continues today, as our drinks continue
to inspire new connections and possibilities.

The Philz Experience
When you visit a Philz store, you’ll see that we do things differently. Our baristas grind your beans and make each cup to your taste, poured over slow, with lots of care and attention. It’s love served in a cup.

First things first,
you pick your blend.
We'll grind the beans
so they're super fresh.
Then we'll brew each
cup one at a time.
The last step is taking a sip
to make sure it's perfect.
