Misch's Patio — Where Strip Mall Began

Strip Mall, Phoenix

You're standing where it started. In 2025, Michela "Misch" Ricci looked at this strip of 7th Street and saw something nobody else did — not a tired storefront, but a gathering place. She and Koral Casillas, who already ran Monsoon Market next door, decided to build something together. A coffee shop that wasn't just coffee. Misch brought the vision: a space where the neighborhood could sit, create, and think. Where a freelancer could post up for four hours and nobody would rush them out. Where a new idea could get its first sentence written. Where a half-finished plan became a real one. This patio is the thinking room. Bring your notebook, your half-finished idea, your next move. Sit with it. Let the light on 7th Street do what it does — make the thing you're working on look possible.

TaskOrder something, sit for twenty minutes, and write down the next idea you've been carrying. One sentence, one paragraph, one list — whatever the patio gives you.
