Factory Coffee
213 E Frank St, Kalamazoo, MI
Crema's Take
“Tucked into a repurposed factory space, Factory Coffee distinguishes itself with thoughtful espresso work and creative seasonal drinks like their standout iced baklava matcha latte that keeps customers coming back. The team clearly knows their beans—sourcing quality greens and pulling shots with intention—and they're genuinely engaged in conversations about flavor profiles, making it feel like a place where coffee craft actually matters. It's the kind of spot that earns its 4.8 rating by balancing serious coffee credentials with a welcoming, work-friendly atmosphere that makes you want to linger.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, laptop-friendly. Pastries on the menu.

Good, but espresso tastes a bit bitter. They assured me that it’s not overoasted but on the lighter side and using highly-rated green beans, but it still tastes smoky or something. They think I may have had bad shots in my cortados and offered a credit. So I increased my rating…
Really cool spot with a good selection of beans! I tried the caramel corn latte and give it 2 thumbs up, highly recommend this place
Always love coming to the Frank St location! The coffee special can usually be made as a matcha, which is how I ended up with an amazing iced baklava matcha latte (that I went back for a second one of that week!) If you can catch any of the events going on they are well worth…
I was visiting family in the area and needed a place to work for a couple of hours. The coffee is excellent and I love the location in the repurposed factory. I ended up buying another drink and a bag of coffee to take back home. They were two of the best lattes I've ever had,…
