Description
Philz Coffee was built on a simple idea that a single cup can make your whole day better. Every drink is brewed to order, and every interaction is handled with real warmth and care. The team focuses on creating small moments of connection that turn an ordinary visit into something memorable.
The story began in the Mission District, where Phil opened a neighborhood convenience store in 1978 and spent more than two decades experimenting with blends and perfecting his craft. That dedication led to the first Philz Coffee shop in 2003 and eventually to a community of cafés across California and Chicago. Today Philz is known for its signature blends, its welcoming atmosphere, and its commitment to sourcing sustainable beans that are roasted with skill in Oakland, California.
If you are looking for coffee made with passion and served with genuine kindness, Philz Coffee continues to carry that original Mission District spirit forward.

As a Philz Coffee enthusiast, I couldn't resist visiting the OG location in Mission during my trip to SF. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint! While parking can be tricky in this area, we lucked out on a weekday with ample metered street parking. However, weekends in Mission can get busy, so be sure to plan accordingly. Now, let's talk about the coffee. I ordered my go-to, an iced Tesora with creamy oat milk and medium sugar, and it was as delicious as ever. I opted for mobile ordering, and my drink was ready upon my arrival, making for a quick and easy experience. But what really made this visit special was being at the original Philz Coffee location (I believe!). The space was adorned with mural artwork, quirky stickers, mismatched furniture, and stacks of books, giving off an authentic coffee shop vibe. It was a refreshing change of pace from the modernized coffee shops that seem to be popping up everywhere these days. I will definitely be returning to this location and highly recommend it to any coffee lover in the area.
Oh wow! The original Philz coffee has a cool vibe here. Their infamous mint Mojito iced coffee is a must! Super friendly service but the coffee took a longer to make, and there was no other customer in line.
