First Place Coffee , a pop-up coffee shop that has been serving the Valley since 2018, is getting ready to open a brick-and-mortar in Phoenix at 822 N. Sixth Ave.
The company’s first brick-and-mortar is set to move into the former home of Garden Bar Phoenix, according to AZ Central . Owner Devon McConville tells What Now Phoenix that she plans to open this new coffee shop in the first half of 2025 , differing everything from the original menu, light bites, pastries from The Dinersaur, and beer, wine, and cocktails. McConville also plans to curate playlists for the cafe, which customers can download or listen to live on the website.
McConville launched First Place Coffee in 2018 after she and her partner restored a 1970 Chevy P10, formerly an ice cream truck, into a mobile coffee shop. Since then, the two have been working the circuit in Phoenix, serving coffee at various locations via pop-up. This week, the coffee truck can be found at 700 W. Campbell on Thursday and Friday, The Womack on the weekend, and The Churchill on Monday. All pop-up locations operate from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.
