Roasters, the Commons, and early bakeries in Traverse City
Official hours for shops at the Grand Traverse Commons, Mundos’ Garfield cafe, Common Good’s early bakeries, and a roaster on Silver Lake Road.
Downtown Front Street is only part of the Traverse City coffee map. This article covers well-established shops at the Village at Grand Traverse Commons, along Garfield and Eighth Street, and a roaster just outside downtown — again, only with addresses and hours we could verify.
At the Grand Traverse Commons
Higher Grounds Trading Co. lists its cafe at 806 Red Drive, Suite 150, adjacent to Left Foot Charley. The official Visit page posts cafe hours of 8 a.m.–3 p.m. daily, dates the company to 2002, and notes that holidays may affect hours.
Cuppa Joe Westside is in Building 50 at the Commons, according to its official page, with a street address of 1200 W. 11th Street, Suite 101. Official hours are 8 a.m.–3 p.m. daily. The same page says the cafe serves a full coffee bar featuring RoasterJack Coffee, plus breakfast and lunch.
Red Spire Brunch House is in the Mercato at 800 Cottageview Drive, Suite 30, inside historic Building 50. Official structured hours on the restaurant’s site are 8 a.m.–3 p.m. Monday–Friday and 9 a.m.–3 p.m. Saturday–Sunday. One business-directory page has listed Tuesday as closed; this guide follows the official site and flags that conflict on the listing. The official location page explains how to find the garden-level entrance off Cottageview Drive, across from Pleasanton Bakery.
Early bakeries, and a roaster on Garfield
Common Good Bakery on Fourteenth Street, the original shop, opened in 2017 according to its official page and posts hours of 6 a.m.–3 p.m. daily. The newer Eighth Street cafe and bakery, opened in early 2023, posts the same daily 6 a.m.–3 p.m. hours and adds a Friday pizza night from 4–8 p.m. The Eighth Street page also describes the daytime menu as running until 4 p.m. on Fridays; if you arrive between 3 and 4 p.m. on a Friday, confirm whether that daytime menu is still being served.
Mundos HQ at 1238 S. Garfield Avenue posts official hours of 8 a.m.–4 p.m. Monday–Saturday and is closed Sunday, matching the downtown 305 shop. Mundos West, which opens an hour earlier, is covered in the downtown article.
Just off the downtown grid
RoasterJack Coffee lists its shop at 867 S. East Silver Lake Road on the official contact page, with a phone number. The 10 a.m.–4 p.m. daily hours in this guide come from public directories, not a loaded hours table on the official site, so confirm before you go. Cuppa Joe’s official page says it serves RoasterJack coffee at the Commons.
Downtown Front Street shops are in the downtown guide. The full list is on the Traverse City town page.
