The Coffee Factory

This place is a favorite. Not only do they serve MadCap Coffee, but they have such interesting drinks and foods. I love this place because the delicatessen options they offer are not the same BS past and potato salad and boring sandwiches. I feel like I am back home in Colorado in a ski resort town with the options they have. They do vegan and gluten free baked goods, which is very important to me (multiple food allergies) so I can still get a sweet treat every so often and not have to bake myself a dozen cupcakes when I only want one. They also have fresh made antipasta type salads, the olive one is a favorite, but vegan beware, it has cheese. I love that there are other vendors from locals also set up in the shop, a vintage clothing store, a book store with gifts and books, a soap maker's shop, its all very "village chic" and community oriented. The furniture was all made by a local artist with supplies sourced from the very factory the shop is in. The outdoor patio is on the north side of the building which is great in hot summer days. I take friends here when we meet up for a quick lunch while shopping or scheming since everything is counter served. They also have sun lights at the booths to get some vitamin D when the weather wants to give you Rickets and Brittle bone disease. I love this place. I think it is one of my favorite places to frequent in Muskegon; such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. OH! AND they always have some sort of on season decoration up around the shop.

A cozy café in a renovated section of a huge old factory! Gluten-free OR gluten-free-friendly snack options are available every morning while supplies last (they're very good!) The prices are fair and basically the same as every other café I've been to-- it really feels like you're getting your drink and food AND the amazing experience for no extra cost. Vibes and music is always perfect for reading or working, or talking/chatting! The staff is always friendly and chill. Genuinely LGBTQ+ friendly, usually feels like a really safe and chill space. I would highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area!

The coffee was delicious and they have a lot of great food options, as well as a few gluten free options. The vibe of the place was really nice too.
