August 20 - 2026
Coffee Geography Magazine
Philz Coffee is ushering in the season with a menu that dares to sidestep the predictable pumpkin spice parade. The California-founded coffee company officially launched its limited-time fall lineup on August 18th, introducing two inventive cold brew creations and a rotating cast of regional pastries that capture the nostalgia of the season without leaning on the usual clichés. Available at all eighty plus locations across California and Chicago, the new offerings are designed to prove that fall favorites can come in many delicious forms, and they will remain on the menu strictly while supplies last.
The centerpiece of the autumn rollout is a pair of cold brews that transform beloved desserts into complex, sipable experiences. The Apple Cinnamon Roll cold brew is a bright and balanced affair, swirling together rich caramel apple butter with Ghirardelli Vanilla Sauce and a warming kick of cinnamon, creating a beverage that feels both indulgent and refreshingly crisp. On the sweeter side of the spectrum, the Pecan Pie cold brew layers buttery pecan toffee with cinnamon, finished with a delicate sprinkle of sea salt to elevate the drink into a rich, sweet, and savory symphony that directly evokes the classic holiday dessert. Both drinks are built on Philz’s signature pour-over foundation, ensuring that the robust coffee character remains the star of the show.
Andy Mai, Chief Business Officer - Philz Coffee
Philz is leaning into originality this year. Andy Mai, the company’s Chief Business Officer, noted that while pumpkin spice seems to dominate every corner of the market come September, the brand wanted to offer something distinctly different. He explained that by looking to classic and beloved fall flavors like pecan, apple, and caramel, the team has crafted offerings that feel familiar and nostalgic, yet are not something customers can easily find anywhere else. It is a philosophy that extends to the entire preparation process, as every single drink is individually made to order using responsibly sourced green coffee beans and clean label ingredients, all roasted to perfection at the company’s own facility in Oakland.
Philz continues to prioritize customer choice, allowing guests to customize the sweetness level and milk option of any beverage at no additional charge, with baristas meticulously ensuring each order is just right. The new fall menu is not only accessible for in store visits but is also available for convenient ahead of time ordering through the Philz mobile app, which doubles as the home for the Philz Rewards loyalty program. Since its founding in San Francisco in 2003, the company has grown to over eighty stores while also expanding its reach through select grocery stores and online sales, including Philz K Cup pods, ensuring that even those far from a café can enjoy a taste of the season. With this thoughtful and unconventional lineup, Philz Coffee is making a compelling case that autumn’s greatest flavors are far more diverse than the pumpkin patch.
