For Dan Clark, owner of Mundos Roasting & Co., the number one goal is to love people well, and that love is shown in a whole lot of ways: a friendly greeting, a comfortable chair in a cozy corner, a hot cup of coffee. “We love creating spaces for people to come together and share life over great coffee,” he says.
All of Mundos’ locations are warm but minimal, with black and white interiors punctuated by local artwork. You’ll also find goods like pottery and skincare. “There are so many amazing creators in this area,” Dan says. “Part of our mission is to highlight these awesome people.”

Since launching Mundos in 2017 on Boon Street in Traverse City (headquarters now located at 1238 S. Garfield Ave. as of 11/21/2022), Dan and his family have opened three additional locations, including one in Suttons Bay and two this summer on Traverse City’s West Front Street. The 1,300-square-foot Mundos West sits on a wooded lot alongside Kids Creek with towering windows overlooking the water. There’s seating for 15 plus a standing bar, and the menu, designed for shorter wait times, includes grab-and-go sandwiches and batch brews. A mile down the road at Mundos 305, large tables welcome groups of friends and coworkers. The 3,500-square-foot space has seating for 75, and two entire walls of windows let in lots of natural light (which the many plants inside love).
