No list of coffee shops in Boise would be complete without the iconic Flying M Coffee House in Downtown Boise, established in 1995. This well-known espresso house is renowned for its quirky style, unique gift shop, and welcoming, inclusive patrons.

Aside from all of that, I swear there is one standout reason to visit Flying M: THE BEANS! Flying M’s coffee and espresso drinks are second-to-none, with smooth, rich flavor absent of the bitterness you’ll find in many corporate chain locations. You can even purchase Flying M blends to take home and make for yourself, but personally I think Flying M’s atmosphere is worth the trip. Stop on by, browse the fun and eclectic gift shop while you’re drink is made, enjoy all the cool art, and get yourself a freshly baked pastry!
