Strip Mall — Restaurant in Phoenix

Have been here plenty of times! What first called out to me was the atmosphere. With all the art and furniture and just overall design, it’s definitely a spot I can spend all day in. They have great music and routinely have a variety of events for the community to showcase themselves. It’s right near by their sister store Monsoon Market and honestly it’s the perfect place. When Monsoon is closed I’m able to still go over early morning and shop for gifts and not only that but they have coffee too! Ralphie always knows how to make a good coffee and my favorite is their matcha! They use a high quality matcha and always know how to make it perfectly sweet. My go to is a strawberry white chocolate matcha but any combination they’re gonna make right. I also recommend their teas if you need something refreshing for this Arizona heat (honey green tea is my favorite). They have a selection of eats to choose from including some really good bagels from Bagelero! They’re huge and serve it with the perfect amount of cream cheese from a local vendor Ooh Mama! Also on Fridays they have La Rue who pops in and makes elevated crepes that are delicious. Over all a great experience when I go and the whole team always give wonderful service. Whether it’s a chat or just for a quick to go they’re always ready! I’d come back for sure and recommend it to friends who are looking for that cool spot to get your work done or come for your...

I quite literally stumbled into Strip mall after a killer class at Groundwork. Unsure what to get I was recommended the Pistachio Latte and let me say I have been back many times since then and I will always get a Hot Pistachio Latte, it was so good it has become a routine to get one almost every Friday and Saturday since then. The space is so friendly and open its easy to just hangout and relax and getaway from the busy Phoenix hustle.

Then there is the food: The bagels & smear are amazing, the burritos are next level and fresh. The crepes however, those deserve their own review, they are hands down some of the best crepes I have ever had. Its hard to beat amazing coffee and a crepe on a Saturday morning.

Finally what ties it all together, the staff. From the first time I went in it has felt like I was talking to a group of friends, they are all very welcoming and passionate about what they do and always have fresh news and conversation. You forget that you're at a business and just bought coffee and food. By the time you remember that, you've already drank half your coffee.

TL;DR Can't recommend this place enough, you're doing yourself a disservice if you...

The most vibey coffee shop in PHX. The coffee is YUMMY and they also have matcha if you are so inclined. I’m SO happy this place opened so I can grab a treat before browsing Monsoon Market next door. The people who work here are so kind, the atmosphere is funky and at the same time very inviting. I’ve worked from my computer here and the music is never too loud or distracting. I love setting up on the bar top or on the comfy chairs surrounded by a plethora of thriving plant life. On Fridays and Saturdays they serve delicious crepes and every day of the week you can grab a fresh bean and cheese burrito or donut. All of these offerings are by locals which is crucial, I love supporting small businesses. They also serve hot bone broth which I can’t get enough of after my work out at GROUNDWRK (located in the same strip mall). I haven’t tried the assorted Sorelle salads or fresh pressed juice in the fridge yet but I love that there is more to look...
