Factory Man Roasting House
708 Boon St, Traverse City, MI
Crema's Take
“This espresso-focused roastery in Traverse City has built something genuinely special by putting people first—they famously refuse tips, believing word-of-mouth is reward enough, which speaks volumes about how they treat both customers and staff. The industrial-hip space welcomes remote workers and meetups alike with solid pour overs, confident lattes from baristas like Brighton, and surprisingly excellent food (the chorizo breakfast burrito and oatmeal keep people coming back). At just three dollars for a 16oz drip, Factory Man feels like a hidden gem that rewards loyalty with great coffee, clean vibes, and the kind of owner-led values that make a place worth returning to again and again.”

Top notch!! Hidden gem of TC!! Must try!!! Great prices Clean environment Friendly staff Breakfast burrito was delicious and oatmeal is 🔥
Only $3 for 16oz drip and they didn't let me tip! Any owner who cares for their workers so well that they were glad to tell me no tips allowed has my support. I work remotely so I found a great place to set up and work with good music and great environment: )
This place is amazing! Brighton was amazing, she is super friendly and makes a mean latte! We tried to give a tip and they do not take them, word of mouth is their tip...what!?! Who does just that? Breakfast sandwich was good. Very comfortable atmosphere. If your passing by don't pass up this coffee shop.
I like this little cafe shop. It seems like it has great food options for being a coffee shop. I really enjoyed the chorizo breakfast burrito with no cheese. And the oatmeal is beautiful. The French toast sticks are super super delicious and sweet. And they're unique. The service here was really friendly and I really enjoyed ordering. I'll have to come back and try another coffee soon. There's plenty of parking outside of the venue and a few tables and seats inside.
This is one of those local spots that, after you discovered it, you will return to many times. It's an industrial hip vibe, comfortable seating, tables, inside and outside. The coffee is really good. The scones were amazing. The barista was as charming as they get. We will be back.
