Free drinks and pastries from the SF-based coffee team.
Things are heating up along Brand Boulevard in Glendale, as
the second of several proposed new eateries is about to come online. Philz
Coffee is soft-opening next Wednesday near the recently-arrived Mainland Poke,
and plans to give away lots of drinks the day they throw their doors open.
Like with all Philz Coffee debuts, the first soft-open day
is usually a time for the staff to hone in on the details and work through the
inevitable crowds. As such, there are always limited hours — in this case 11
a.m. to 3 p.m. — and lots of free coffee and pastries to go around. You can
actually sign up here to let the Philz team know you’re coming, or just show up
next Wednesday to caffeinate yourself silly.
Earlier this year in May the company actually staged a sort
of meet-the-neighbors campaign in front of the under-construction store, doing
much the same work doling out coffee to anyone who walked by. It’s a smart
move, as the San Francisco brand continues to make strong inroads across the
city.
Recent expansions have taken the team from their Santa
Monica original into Downtown, Pasadena, the Arts District and the heart of
Hollywood, though this Glendale arrival — next to a Greenleaf, Eggslut,
Mainland Poke, and Shake Shack — is perhaps in the best company of all.
