The hottest coffee shop to open in OC in years is Philz Coffee, a San Francisco-based coffee shop with a cult following now at Pacific City in Huntington Beach. What sets Philz Coffee apart from the rest is that Philz doesn’t make lattes, cappuccinos, espressos, or pre-brews—only more than 20 customized blends made one cup at a time.
Founder Phil Jaber started experimenting with beans from around the world 25 years ago, and today all of his customized blends are crafted from two to as many as seven different beans from around the world. On the menu you can choose from dark roast, medium roast, light roast, decaf, specialty coffees and teas—several coffees come with fresh mint leaves, an unexpected addition, but it’s delicious.
The coffee drink with the most buzz is the to die for Mint Mojito Iced Coffee with fresh mint leaves and a sweet frothy creamy consistency.
At Philz, you’ll order directly from a barista, and then pay. When your coffee is ready the barista will ask you to taste it to make sure that you like it.
Open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
Phillz Coffee is at 21010 Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach.
