This week on Extra Serving, a podcast from Nation’s Restaurant News, managing editor Leigh Anne Zinsmeister sat down with Mahesh Sadarangani and Andi Trindle Mersch of Philz Coffee.
Philz Coffee has been thriving in California for more than 20 years, and now it’s ready for more. With 70 locations as of the end of 2023, 64 of which are in the chain’s home state (the other six are in Chicago), the company wants to take its cult following and custom coffee blends to even more consumers.
Sadarangani, CEO, and Trindle Mersch, vice president of coffee operations and sustainability, talked about what makes Philz special, from the coffee itself to the hospitality from not only baristas but also executives. They also hint at special things in the brand’s future, including a possible expansion.
