About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Traverse City, Mundos HQ is much more than your typical coffee shop—it’s a vibrant community hub where expertly roasted coffee and handcrafted baked goods come together in perfect harmony. Specializing as a coffee roaster, bakery, and café, Mundos HQ delivers an exceptional experience for both coffee aficionados and those simply seeking a cozy spot to unwind or work.

From the moment you step inside the spacious, contemporary space at 1238 S Garfield Ave, you’re greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere defined by high ceilings, abundant natural light, and lush greenery that breathe life into the industrial-chic interior. As customer Luke Salik noted, the carefully curated shelves stocked with premium coffee gear and thoughtful branding elevate the shop’s ambiance, creating a place that truly makes you wish you called Traverse City home.

The menu reads like a love letter to bold flavors and fresh ingredients. Coffee lovers will find an enticing range, from robust Nitro Cold Brew to smooth Batch Brew, with standout espresso offerings drawing praise from locals and visitors alike. Sip a perfectly balanced Mocha Latte or a silky Salted Caramel Latte while soaking in the minimalistic yet warm surroundings. For those who like a little variety, the Latte Macchiato and creamy Hot Chocolate provide rich indulgence, and the Iced Tea offers a refreshing lift.

Mundos HQ’s bakery and food selection are equally compelling, with a deft balance between classic staples and inventive dishes. Imagine biting into a flaky Chocolate Croissant or Almond Croissant, each one buttery and delicate enough to melt on your tongue. The Avocado Toast, elevated further by customizable additions like egg and tomato, paired with a café-quality espresso, provides the perfect harmony of creamy, savory, and intense flavors. The Avocado Waffle and Lemon Curd Waffle delight with their unique twists—light, fragrant, and irresistibly crisp.

Fans of hearty options will appreciate the Breakfast Burrito and the Chile Lime Burrito, packed with bold, vibrant seasonings that awaken the palate. Meanwhile, smaller bites such as the Sicilian Pocket, The Francisco Pocket, and Ham and Cheese Pocket offer satisfying snapshots of flavor with every bite.

What truly sets Mundos HQ apart is the sincere care poured into each beverage and dish, as well as the genuine, friendly service that makes every visit feel personal. As customer Vadim Oss summarized, the “chill vibe, friendly staff, full-range WiFi, and tasty avocado omelette” create a destination no Traverse City resident or visitor wants to miss. Charles Keller’s words perfectly capture the essence: it’s a “comfortable, hip, industrial coffee shop” where great coffee, good food, and a welcoming space converge seamlessly.

Whether you’re looking for a morning pick-me-up, a creative workspace, or an elegant spot to savor a leisurely brunch, Mundos HQ invites you to indulge in carefully crafted flavors and an atmosphere that balances lively energy with serene comfort. It’s a place where taste, community, and design come together in a way that’s as memorable as it is delicious.

    Just fantastic. My pour over (single origin Peru) was delicious (as was my espresso the next day ). Staff was friendly, helpful, and fast. Atmosphere and interior is one of those experiences that makes you wish you lived in the area. Wonderfully organized and tastefully decorated all around. Curated shelves with premium coffee gear and nice branding. Large green plants to fit the tall ceilings and spacious environment. Many diverse types of seating (Counters for standing, booths for seating 2-4 people, fireplace seating, lunch type tables). Just VERY well done. I’d be here all the time if I lived here.

    This is everything one could dream of finding in a coffee shop — chill vibe, friendly staff, full-range Wi-Fi, and a tasty avocado omelette. I inevitably end up here every time I’m in Traverse City.

    This is a comfortable, hip, industrial coffee shop. Coffee is terrific and the food is good. Service is friendly. You will want to linger or bring your laptop or a book. Great space for meeting friends.

    I’m not from the area but whenever I’m in town I HAVE to stop here. Love the care they put into everything they make and the aesthetic/atmosphere. I’ve tried a variety of espresso beverages and the matcha and it’s all great! And the almond croissant is amazinggg - love pairing it with a cappuccino or their coconut cream latte

    If you are looking for a coffee shop big enough to actually sit and enjoy, then Mundos is the place! Great breakfast burritos and avocado toast. Delicious espresso. Even their regular brewed coffee is full of flavor notes. We love visiting TC and hitting Mundos! It never disappoints!

    I was very surprised by this place. The Chai latte and the matcha latte even pleased my husband who usually doesn't like such bitter or earthy beverages. The cinnamon waffle was OUT OF THIS WORLD; absolutely incredible. I'd return here just for that. I've never had such an excellent waffle. Whoever came up with it should be awarded. What an incredible blend of what seemed like a cinnamon roll in a waffle form. The breakfast burrito was not special. The atmosphere was very cozy.

    Interesting location but super beautiful inside. Seems like it used to be a car dealership (lol) but it’s been revamped for coffee shop vibes! Got the Kenya pour-over coffee — absolutely perfect! Go here for their amazing roasts and “slow bar”. Chill and do some work! Great space for meetings or just to hang.
