EATS: Philz Coffee
“Mission Made” is the phrase of choice at Philz Coffee. Its commitment to fostering community is apparent the moment you step foot inside the welcoming shop. Going against the grain, this “phamily” of coffee spots specializes in customized pour overs. Grinding your beans to order, each blend is created by founder Phil Jaber and comes with names such as Tantalizing Turkish featuring cardamom notes and Philtered Soul with nuances of hazelnut. The signature drink is a caffeinated, iced Mint Mojito that’s sweet, creamy and herbaceous.
