About The Factory Eindhoven
The Factory opened in 2015 in Eindhoven's Strijp-S district, the former Philips industrial complex transformed into a creative quarter. The shop's location and name reflect the industrial heritage of the neighbourhood: the building dates from the mid-twentieth century and retains exposed concrete, steel beams, and high ceilings that give the interior an industrial aesthetic unlike any other coffeeshop in Eindhoven.
The clientele reflects Strijp-S: designers, architects, students from the Design Academy Eindhoven, and creative professionals who work in the studios and offices throughout the district. The Factory has cultivated a reputation as the most design-conscious coffeeshop in Eindhoven.
The menu runs to 14 to 20 varieties, with a particular strength in sativa and sativa-dominant hybrid strains that suit the creative professional demographic. The shop also maintains a small but well-chosen selection of hash and concentrates. Prices reflect the Strijp-S premium but are competitive for the quality offered.
Strijp-S is worth a full afternoon's exploration regardless of the coffeeshop. The former Philips buildings now house independent restaurants, galleries, a cinema, and the Klokgebouw, one of the largest event venues in the Netherlands.
