Nestled in the Mission District, the original Philz Coffee serves up custom blends in a laid-back, quirky space that feels like the heart of San Francisco's coffee culture.
"Philz Coffee plans to close its original location in the Mission District later this year when its lease at 3101 24th Street runs out. The building, owned by Humble Lion, LLC, an investment company founded by former Philz Coffee CEO Jacob Jaber, is reportedly in poor condition. Staff have reported issues such as rats, spotty power, a broken fridge, and peeling floors and walls. Maintenance problems were recurrent, especially after health issues led Phil to step back and after Jacob left the company in 2021. Despite being a San Francisco original known for its variety of roasts and iced mint mojito latte, the original store's closing marks a significant change for the company." - Paolo Bicchieri
"The original location of Philz Coffee, located at 3101 24th Street, will close permanently on October 16. The business opened in 2003 and is a major player in the Mission District. Philz confirmed the closure due to the lease renewal decision. Despite its popularity and being busy most days, the company plans to offer staff positions at other locations. Philz is renowned for its brew and creamy iced mint mojito latte. Phil Jaber founded the company after 25 years of studying coffee, growing it into a regional powerhouse. Recently, the company faced criticism for firing staff hesitant to return post-COVID and over a meme about police violence. Jacob Jaber raised $45 million in 2016, and Mahesh Sadarangani became CEO in 2021." - Paolo Bicchieri
