Matchhead Coffee
209 S Kalamazoo Mall, Kalamazoo, MI
Crema's Take
“Matchhead is Kalamazoo's go-to spot for exceptionally crafted matcha and espresso-focused drinks, anchored by a distinctly retro 70s design that feels spacious and inviting despite its quirky modern touches. The genuinely warm staff and abundant seating make it equally perfect for lingering over work or catching up with friends, plus you'll find thoughtful local touches like their acclaimed potato quiche and convenient free parking nearby. While execution can vary depending on who's behind the bar, when they nail it—which seems to be most of the time—you're getting something special that beats the typical coffee run.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Great coffee and the cutest shop! Employees are super sweet! The parking garage nearby has free parking for an hour and cheap rates after the hour is up.
The overall design of the coffee shop is unique. The colors are simple and modern, with slight funky spins here and there for decoration. It had a good amount of seating across the shop with a variety of different chairs depending on the type of hangout or work space you want.…
I was greeted with a friendly smile by a barista before I even opened the door. I was surprised at how large the shop is! It's got a loveley atomosphere-very much a retro 70's vibe and a very OPEN layout. There's cute tables stationed throughout and the cutest decor and nice…
