| - Hands down best coffee shop to ever exist in the C-U area. Oh and the pizza is good too.
Let me break it down for you.
Atmosphere (5/5)
This place has the whole modern look that is so popular these days, without any claims to pretentiousness. Barebones decor that draws you in because of its simplicity. There's a counter where you order, tables where you sit, and that's about all.
Service (5/5)
All the staff there are friendly and all of them love coffee. If you don't know what you're feeling like ordering on any particular day, feel free to ask for recommendations, because they will never steer you wrong. They are always polite, always friendly, and always timely.
Value (5/5)
Some people might debate me on this point because some people dislike having to pay 3-5 dollars for a cup of coffee. Some people are crazy, because every dollar that I have ever spent here was completely worth it (and having filled up quite a few of those Flying Machine punch cards up, I have spent a pretty penny). Value, being a subjective quality, may differ from person to person, but I am always more than satisfied with the money I spend here.
Food (and Coffee) (5/5)
Like I said, hands down best coffee shop in town. You can get a regular cup o' joe for 2 dollars for a 12 oz. and 3 dollars for a 20 oz. Their normal brewed coffee like any brewed coffee, is not bad, but definitely not what you should be focusing on here. The real gems come from the espresso drinks and the handcrafted coffees.
The espresso drinks range from 2-5 dollars and all the ones I have tried were delicious. However, espresso drinks are not my particular cup of tea, so I am not the best suited to comment. but from my personal preference at least, I have not had better here in town.
My personal favorites are the handcrafted coffees. They serve both regular pour overs and Chemex pour overs for the same prices: 2.5 for 8 oz. 3 for 12 oz. and 4 for 20 oz. If you are unfamiliar with these processes, what they essentially do is specifically measure and grind fresh beans, and brew a cup of coffee fresh for you by hand. It might take a little longer than your conventional coffee shop, but the wait is well worth it. The handcrafted coffees here are the best brewed cup of coffee you can get in town. The actual pouring process combined with the quality of the beans they use make for one hell of a cup of coffee. I have spent a good amount of time attempting to perfect a Chemex pour over myself, I have learned that it takes a good deal more skill than it appears. I can safely say, every one of the employees here are extremely proficient.
On top of having amazing coffee, Flying Machine shares its walls with another business called Pizza M. They serve pan pizza slices as well as whole thin crust pizzas. The ingredients are extremely fresh, and the whole pizzas are always made to order. There is a large variety of specialty pizzas as well as a "chef's special" known as the Kitchen Sink, which literally says that they will use whatever ingredients they have on hand to make a pizza for you. The results may vary, but the quality does not. It's always good.
Overall:
Atmosphere: 5/5 - The decor may be personal preference, but hipsters love this place for a reason.
Service: 5/5 - Can't beat the friendliness and proficiency of the staff here, for both coffee and pizza.
Value: 5/5 - For me, the coffee is always worth it. The pizza is on the pricier side, but usually also worth it.
Food: 10/10 - This should actually be a 20/10 but that makes no sense.
Overall: 25/25 - If you can't take the words of a stranger on the internet at face value, I understand. But try this place because everything about it speaks for itself.
