“such friendly service and great food with intentionality!“

“Only the Best place to eat in kzoo.!!!“

“I found this cute little restaurant while I was staying in Kalamazoo. The food was amazing, the service was excellent and the prices were unbelievable. Gia was my server all three times i came in, and she really went above and beyond. On my second visit, I also met Bre, who made this delicious treat for me, after I had a pretty tough morning. Thanks ladies! I will definitely be back.“

“I Like it here everything was smooth when the old owner had owned the company but there have been good new things that came along with the new owner with the expansion of the menu, but the biggest downfall to where I’m starting not to want to come is because every time there is always something different with the recipes. The recipes are not consistent. one day I might like something and get the same thing the next day and it’ll be completely different. For example The cajun gumbo I had recently has usually a thick consistency but the recent time that I just got it, it was really brothy/water and I did not enjoy it. Things will be better if they can be consistent with their recipes and how it’s being made until then I might just have to stay away..“

“We stopped at the Summer Thyme Cafe for lunch on our way to Lake Michigan. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting with little booths and tables for dining in. The menu has a great variety of salads and sandwiches, so it was hard to decide what to order! I chose the Chicken Pecan salad, and it was delicious. Everything was so fresh; the serving size was generous but not overwhelming. My husband had the Cobb salad, and it was very good too. Our server was pleasant and attentive. The cafe is conveniently located about 0.5 miles from the highway-easy on/easy off. I would definitely recommend this cute little cafe for lunch and look forward to stopping there again when I'm passing through Kalamazoo. PS-the desserts looked amazing! Fresh pies,cake, bars etc. [We're trying to avoid sweets so we didn't partake-but it was tempting].

Vegetarian options: You can get salads without the protein.“

“Everything here is perfect… the coffee, the breakfast items, sandwiches, desserts, the display, the staff. I always stop by when I am in town.“

“The best place downtown to get coffee. amazing atmosphere with their indoor greenhouse, awesome pastries and fresh bagels made every day. They also have homemade soup often including home grown ingredients.“

“I’ve ordered delivery a few times (never been to the restaurant itself) and it’s been absolutely incredible every time! When they were closed on Monday, we decided not to order breakfast at all rather than ordering from another establishment! The prices, sizes, and quality are great. Highly recommend the omelettes and skillets! I love that I can build my own exactly how I like it without worrying about price gouging! My favorite breakfast place so far in Michigan!“

“I've been to all the Factory Coffee locations now, and I've never had a bad experience. Service is always amazing, kind and helpful, especially for a foodie/coffee nut like me who can be indecisive. Each atmosphere is a bit different, but I've been able to do work or meet with people at all of them- super cozy and modern. Food and drinks are great too! Espresso has been perfectly brewed everywhere I've gone, not sour or bitter, while maintaining a bold flavor. I love their fun specials too! (Baklava latte is RIDICULOUS). Im glad to have a go-to coffee spot in kzoo now!“

“Quality and delicious. Will be returning.“

“It is amazing and such a wonderful lunch café, and the food is always fantastic!“
