Philz Moves Headquarters From San Francisco to Oakland
In a statement, the company’s chief executive, Mahesh Sadarangani, said the company’s needs had changed over time.
“Dogpatch has been our home for many years, housing our corporate offices and a retail location,” Sadarangani said. “However, with nearly all our corporate team fully remote, the existing lease no longer aligned with our needs as a company.
“As a result, we have decided to close the Dogpatch location and move our corporate headquarters to our roasting facility” in Oakland, he said.
“We are offering all eligible retail team members positions at other nearby Philz locations, and we look forward to continuing to be a part of the community and having a strong presence in the Bay Area.”
The move, which also closes a cafe at the headquarters’ former Minnesota Street address, comes months after the San Francisco-born coffee chain shuttered its original location on 24th Street in the Mission District.

The chain traces its roots to a convenience store run by Phil Jaber, who opened the first eponymously named Philz on New Year’s Day 2003. It quickly grew into a retail phenomenon, expanding across the Bay Area, into several Southern California counties and half a dozen locations in Chicago, according to the company’s website.
The company ended a six-year stint in Washington, D.C., in early 2023 due to “changing market conditions,” per Eater DC.
Multiple Philz locations remain open in Downtown San Francisco, as well as in the Castro, Noe Valley, Russian Hill and Mission Bay, contributing to an active and innovative coffee scene that includes beanless cold-brew distributors and a secret garden in the Dogpatch, Turkish coffee in Nob Hill, a decades-old roaster in North Beach, Mission District and Potrero Hill cafes, the grand old Irish-coffee stalwart in Fisherman’s Wharf, and Yemeni-style beverages in South of Market and beyond.

3 California beaches closed as collapsed pier debris washes ashore
As detritus from the badly damaged Santa Cruz pier washes ashore, California State Parks officials are keeping three beaches closed. “Because of the amount of debris washing up onto the local beaches from the collapsing Santa Cruz municipal wharf,” Twin Lakes State Beach, Seabright State Beach and San Lorenzo Point will be closed until Dec. 30 at 6 a.m., Santa Cruz State Beaches said.
Seacliff State Beach and Rio Del Mar State Beach both reopened on Christmas morning, though visitors should take care: A high-surf warning is in effect along the coast from Thursday morning until Sunday afternoon. The National Weather Service is advising people to stay off piers and jetties.
About 150 feet of the Santa Cruz pier and an entire building housing a restroom broke off into the ocean on Monday amid battering waves. Three people working on the pier plunged into the water, where two needed rescue and a third was able to rescue themselves. Since then, pieces of the wharf have been washing onto local beaches. There is no estimated reopening for the wharf itself. Waves also pulled support piling from the Cayucos Pier about 160 miles south down the Central Coast. The end of the pier was already closed as it incurred damage during stormy conditions in February.
“Please be cautious when near the ocean, as debris from damage north of Capitola is making its way down the coastline,” the Capitola Police Department said. “Several large pilings from the Santa Cruz wharf have found their way to our shores, creating an extreme hazard. Please use caution if you are in the area.”
