For those who have been patiently waiting since Philz Coffee’s expansion into San Diego was annouced last summer, the Bay Area institution is brewing up its first location here in Encinitas at 1060 S. Coast Highway 101, where we’re hearing the coffee shop will officially open to the public on Saturday, February 4.
At Philz, there are no fancy coffee machines or espresso-based drinks; rather, the popular company specializes in pour-over drip coffee using its over 20 signature coffee blends. Baristas customize each cup to your liking and mix up well-known specialty drinks ranging from Mint Mojito iced coffee to the Mocha Tesora.
Philz Coffee hasn’t shared exactly how many stores it plans to open in the San Diego area, but there is another outpost is planned for The Shops at La Jolla Village complex at 8849 Villa La Jolla Drive #307.
