🌈 Unity is Community. ☕

This Pride Month, we're celebrating the connections that bring us together. Through Philz Coffee's Unity campaign, community is brewed one cup at a time, creating space for conversation, understanding, and the blending of our differences.

If you're in Long Beach, we have two Philz Coffee locations where you can enjoy this year's special Unity drinks and beans:

☕ Unity Beans
🤎 Unity Cold Brew
💜 Sweet Harmony

Stop by the Belmont Shore or Bixby Knolls location during Pride Month, grab a drink (or a bag of beans!), and join in celebrating community, connection, and inclusion.

Thank you, Philz Coffee, for helping strengthen LGBTQ+ communities and for showing that unity grows through everyday acts of connection.
