Such an awesome place. Located in an old historic building in downtown Kalamazoo. Hundred year old hardwood floors creak with history as you walk around. The coffee is top notch. Staff is very friendly. Exposed brick walls add to the charm. They have antique mopeds to look at too. Grayling ceramic studio in the basement produces beautiful items. This is the local business I seek out and support. Stop in for a cup of joe and do the same.

Amazing little coffee shop. They specialize in espresso from San Francisco. The almond croissants taste delicious. Had made pottery for sale made in the basement. Great if you are looking to buy a growler.

Review №17

I adore Grayling Ceramics, so I was biased before the first time I came in, but fortunately the drinks are quite good, too. The peppermint mocha is sinfully good. The waffle darts are great fun, and the service is always very friendly. Great place to chill and study!

Review №30

Best coffee place on the northside of Kalamazoo, in fact much more than just a stop to have a good cup with a sort of industrial decor, warm atmosphere, and friendly people. They have couches to flake out and quiet corners to network and do your computing. We liked their scones.

Review №32

Phenomenal espresso, which makes a great latte! The homemade syrups are excellent as well. Dave (the owner) is a great people person, and we really enjoyed getting to hear his story! We can’t wait to visit and support Factory Coffee again!

Ma
Review №33

Our favorite local spot. The espresso is perfect, and they offer oatmilk for a non-dairy latte! Great cold brew, treats, and the VERY best people! You can bring your (well-behaved) pups out to the patio! Eat in or on the patio! ☕🖤

Review №34

I hate these little coffee shops that attempt to be unique and, truthfully, I never go to them but someone requested we meet there on official business. It did, however, have comfortable seating and the lady behind the counter was exceptionally kind and courteous. So if I could rate the genre of the coffee shop it would be a 1 but the service and quality of this one is a 5.

Review №35

I liked this cafe. The theme was cool, and the building was pretty nice. The person at the counter was helpful.My date and I got a chai latte and a cortado. Both were good, and we enjoyed them. We unfortunately have not yet tried the food items, but they sound good. As I remember, they have some breakfast sandwiches, and danishes.The mugs that we used were made by a Kalamazoo ceramics company which I believe is in the basement of this building. In the coffee shop they have store merchandise, like pins, mugs, shirts, and more. They also have things made by the ceramics place.Conclusion: if you like coffee, breakfast, and small business, why not come here?

Review №36

Before anything else, a coffeehouse needs to get one thing right, the coffee. Factory coffee nailed it. Great espresso, full tasting cappuccino, and a barista that knew what he was doing. Add in the historic building and associated ceramic studio, this is one of the best places in Kalamazoo area to get your coffee kick.

Review №37

A unique little coffee shop that serves delicious coffee drinks. It’s a destination place that you have to search out, as it’s definitely off the beaten path and hard to find. You aren’t going to drive by it as you’re out doing your daily errands. The barista was knowledgeable and friendly as he gave me descriptions of the two drinks I tried.

Lots of potential. Maybe I am getting old but the banality of the conversation coming out of the baristas mouth limited the time I could stand to be there. Plus the fly buzzing around drove me nuts.
