Philz does not publish caffeine numbers for its drinks. The closest thing to an official figure is Philz's own estimate, posted from the company account in a public reply on X: "A regular cup of coffee has about 60-150 mg of caffeine per 5 oz serving. We would estimate a small Philz to have 144-360 mg of caffeine." That is the range for a small (12 oz) cup, and it applies to the Mint Mojito the same as any other drink on the board, because everything at Philz is built on brewed coffee. The official nutrition PDFs cover calories and sugar for each size, and those are in the table below, but caffeine appears nowhere in them.
For context, the FDA cites 400mg of caffeine a day as an amount generally not associated with negative effects in healthy adults. How caffeine affects you depends on your own tolerance and health, so treat these numbers as information, not advice.
Why the range is so wide
Look at the math in that reply and you can see what Philz did. They took a standard textbook range for brewed coffee, 60 to 150mg per 5 oz, and multiplied it by 12/5 to fit their small cup. So 144 to 360mg is not a lab test of Tesora or Jacob's Wonderbar. It is Philz saying "our drinks are strong brewed coffee, here is the honest spread." A 2.5x range sounds evasive until you remember how Philz operates: every cup is brewed to order, by hand, from more than twenty different blends, and baristas adjust the dose. There is no espresso drink on the menu to anchor a shot count the way you can at a chain that publishes per-drink caffeine.
For the Mint Mojito specifically, the build is brewed coffee with fresh mint, sugar, and heavy cream over ice. Philz lists it under specialty drinks as "Fresh Mint, Sweet, Creamy." Cream, ice, and mint take up room in the cup that would otherwise be coffee, so a 12 oz Mint Mojito almost certainly lands lower in that 144 to 360mg window than 12 oz of black Philtered Soul. But Philz has never published a Mint Mojito number, and any site quoting you an exact figure for it made that figure up.
If you want to control the dose, you have three real levers. Size is the big one, since a large (20 oz) simply contains more coffee than a small. The second is half-caff: in that same reply, Philz suggested ordering a half-caff mojito if you want less caffeine, and any drink can be made that way. The third is Luca's Unplugged, the decaf blend on the standard menu.
Philz nutrition by drink and size
These figures come from the official Philz drink nutrition PDFs for small, medium, and large. Sweet and creamy is the default Philz build with sugar and heavy cream.
| Drink | Small (12 oz) | Medium (16 oz) | Large (20 oz) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hot or iced coffee, black (incl. cold brew) | 0 cal / 0g sugar | 0 cal / 0g sugar | 5 cal / 0g sugar |
| Hot or iced coffee, sweet and creamy | 330 cal / 21g sugar | 330 cal / 21g sugar | 330-400 cal / 21g sugar |
| Mint Mojito, sweet and creamy | 330 cal / 21g sugar | 330 cal / 21g sugar | 370 cal / 30g sugar |
| Iced Coffee Rose, sweet and creamy | 320 cal / 28g sugar | 320 cal / 28g sugar | 410 cal / 39g sugar |
| Gingersnap, sweet and creamy | 330 cal / 21g sugar | 330 cal / 21g sugar | 370 cal / 30g sugar |
| Honey Haze (oat milk) | 170 cal / 33g sugar | 170 cal / 33g sugar | 170 cal / 33g sugar |
| Mocha Tesora, sweet with standard cream | 320-330 cal / 30g sugar | 340-360 cal / 35g sugar | 370-460 cal / 40g sugar |
One detail in those PDFs worth noticing: for most drinks the small and the medium list identical calories and sugar. The extra 4 oz in a medium is mostly coffee, not more cream and sugar, which means upsizing from small to medium buys caffeine without changing the nutrition line. The jump shows up at the large, where the Mint Mojito goes from 21g to 30g of sugar. Philz also notes that every cup is made to order, so treat all of these as approximations; the actual pour depends on the barista and on how you ask for it.

What about the individual blends
Philz sorts its blends into darker (Jacob's Wonderbar, Aromatic Arabic, Ether, Tantalizing Turkish), medium (Philharmonic, Tesora, Silken Splendor, Julie's Ultimate, Philtered Soul, Unity), and lighter (New Manhattan, Dancing Water, Ambrosia Coffee of God), plus Luca's Unplugged decaf. None of them carries a published caffeine number. The roast labels describe flavor, not strength, and the honest answer is that your size and your half-caff option move the caffeine needle far more than which blend you pick. If a precise dose matters to you, Philz is the wrong chain to get it from, and that 144 to 360mg small is the only figure the company has put its name on.
