January 2027 soft opening, reported target

From trailer to neighborhood cafe

What Now Phoenix reports plans for the former Dutch Bros space, with a covered patio rather than indoor seating. The proposed menu includes coffee, matcha, house-made syrups and an expanded food selection.

Soft opening versus grand opening

A soft opening can mean limited service while a team settles in. The proposed two-week period is not a promise of a full schedule. Check the business’s latest announcement before treating the target month as an invitation to visit.

Plan your visit

Confirm current hours, menu and any reservation requirements with the business before making a trip.
