WEDNESDAY 13TH DECEMBER - 6PM & 8PM

Factory was created when four friends got together in 2016. One grew up in Orange, one grew up in Sydney, one grew up in Vietnam and the other grew up in Gunnedah. The idea was to bring wholesome, affordale food to the cafe, coupled with great coffee in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Nick, brother of Tom Gleeson, is the creative genius behind bringing regular comedy gigs to Orange. Thanks to his love for comedy and his dedication to bringing great acts to Orange, Factory has seen some of the best comedians Australia has to offer.

In 2022, our Loring roaster arrived from the USA, and our coffee roasting journey in Orange was born. Jatin, one of the four friends, ran a successful roasting company in Sydney supplying coffee and machinery to cafes everywhere.

In 2022, after consultation with industry experts and coffee professionals we trust, combined with our own roasting experience over the years, we purchased one of the most important tools in our business, our Loring coffee roaster.

Loring roasters, hand built out of LA in the US, use a patented air recirculation method to roast coffee in an improved drum roaster set up, drastically reducing the use for gas (up to 80% less than traditional drum roasters) in the process. This combined with technology to enable a roaster to make repeatable roasts with micro adjustments along the way, makes this one of the very best roasters in the world. Environmental change is, and will continue to, have devasting impacts on crops around the world. Coffee crop is no exception. Here at Factory and Kite Coffee, we want to do what we can to not further contribute to that impact. If you're around Orange, we are often roasting, come in and watch the Loring in action.

Set in the old Repco building on Kite street, this old car service centre now houses an industriial yet warm cafe space. Call ahead to book or walk in and grab a table, we look forward to welcoming you
