For a local coffee place this isn't bad at all. Prices for a coffee is good & reasonable to boot. Plenty of space & friendly folks to boot in this one & they even got other things like some foods & liquors as well. read more

Checked out this place couple of times ; baristas there know they stuff, delicious cappuccinos and pumpkin bread.

My wife had been asking to go to flight for a long time since we moved to Dover. I reluctant at first, but took a chance and now I am hooked. We went in and first thing that took me back was how big the establishment is. Plenty of seating, plus couches for a more comfortable stay. Coffee lingo is something I am still working on, but I got an Americano and my wife got a chai tea. I had gotten two slices of Banana bread which was amazing. My wife got one of their breakfast sandwiches which she raved about. Price wise, if you are used to your "dunks" or aroma joe prices, sadly you are in the wrong place. I thought the price was fair and the coffee was amazing. Will definitely be making more trips here. read more

As someone that grew up haunting the various iterations of cafe on the corner I am so happy to see what Flight has done with the place. Well crafted drinks, knowledgeable and friendly staff and a gorgeous, welcoming space. I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in town. read more

We went back last night to check out the live music I'd been hearing about and we were absolutely blown away that this wonderful place exists in our community. It looked like a younger crowd, and they were all so happy and spirited enjoying the band, which was fantastic. We had a few beers, I had no idea was possible here so a nice surprise, which were from Chapel + Main (which we love) and chatted with the owner a bit, who was working the soundboard. This man is doing such good for musicians, and Dover, it was clear why this place is popular and why Flight is such a staple here in town. I can't say enough good things! read more

The coffee here is standard at best. They only have 1 offering for people who just want a coffee..... No dark or light roasts. There "large" Is the size of everyone else's mediums and at $3 it is way over priced. I decided to give their pour overs a try and for an extra $ I got a pathetically weak Ethiopian in a French press that was barely 3/4 full and far from hot. Not impressed at all. read more

I'm not the snooty coffee house type, but this place is great. The breakfast sandwiches are on point and filled with flavor. The interior is cool and clean. Staff friendly. Highly recommended. read more

Flight is a DELIGHT! Loved this place. I am visiting from San Francisco and am on the never ending quest for that perfect cup of coffee. I love the smell the taste and the sense of warmth when I have my coffee. I stumbled into flight and what a great surprise. Best coffee I've ever had! The robust taste hit the spot. And not only that... The staff was a delight as well. I will definitely take a flight back to NH to get a cup of flight coffee!!! read more

I too really want to love this place. It is a beautiful space. However, the service has not been super friendly and when I asked for a dark roast coffee I was informed that they don't serve dark roast coffee because the owner thinks dark roast beans are burnt. Geesh, talk about alienating a whole group of coffee drinkers. That is fine if the owner is not a big fan of dark roast but this is a coffee shop right? Am I the the only coffee lover that enjoys a good French roast? Also, you get a small mug and they charge you for a refill?! What other place does that? Oh well, even though I love the actual space, I will usually choose to go elsewhere for a dark roast and friendly service. read more

Absolutely love the atmosphere and ambiance of the cafe. Deep colors and the wood floor bring a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a cup. Loved the pour over, could taste wonderful sweetness, excellent body, and clear profile on the Guatamline. They also had a tasting wheel out for discussion (great job on that!). The espresso was good! Only reason it's not 5 stars is I feel the viscosity was off on the espresso...tad watery. Could be personal preference or they just need to adjust pulls for the day. Flavor was there however and still enjoyable. Thursday night open mic! Wonderful idea to bring the community in and create a culture! Staff was engaging and willing to answer question for the coffee nerd side. Keep up the service! Defenetly would come back and hope to experience more from the menue! read more

I love Flight so much! The coffee is strong and amazing, I tried the nitro cold brew a few weeks ago and I'm addicted. They have multiple different kinds of dairy-free alternatives to add to your coffee which is amazing, most places don't. Homemade bagels with hummus is my go-to food item, the hummus is a tiny bit spicy which I wasn't expecting but was a pleasant surprise. I've gotten to know the owners and the staff from going in there so much and they are all so friendly and accommodating! I do homework here a lot, it's a great place to go that's not too distracting and I just love coming here. It's such a great addition to the Dover community. read more

The food is fairly good. I'm not a big fan of their coffee compared to other local coffee shops.

My favorite place in Dover. Such a positive vibe and the food and drinks are incredible!

In a pinch, only. Coffee is good. Large latte is really small and only breakfast options are fast roads to diabetes. Service is sophomoric. read more

The jackson on a rosemary bagel, thank me later. Heaven. I don't hang in the cafe but it seems like a nice environment if I was into that. I just order takeout because I'm addicted. read more

Really nice atmosphere to sit down and do some work, or just hang out with friends. Their bagels are amazing and I love buying the day olds to bring home :) read more

Found this on Yelp while traveling and it was exactly what I was looking for. Great place to relax and read or get some work done. WiFi is free and speedy, and the interior is spacious with lots of natural light. Pour over and avo toast were excellent. Impressive. read more

Best coffee in New Hampshire at a very affordable price. Sandwiches are really good and everything is fresh

Flight is a wonderful learning experience. Having spent my life traveling the world for work; I thought I was a coffee connoisseur. My goodness was I ever wrong! Great processes, ambiance and exceptional staff. Thanks for bringing your craft to Dover Claudia! PS: These negative reviews are actually fun to read, they kind of remind me of the soda wars in the 80s. Having frequented Flight since opening, to suggest the staff is less than professional is literally laughable and probably more indicative of biased patronage. Its OK if there is more than one coffee shop in Dover folks! read more

From the outside Flight looks like your typical downtown coffee shop- then you walk in. Be prepared to be impressed, this place is by no means typical. I ordered a cappuccino to go, but when they brought it to me I found myself hanging out for a while and enjoying the atmosphere, not to mention the best cappuccino I've ever had. read more

I haven't yet been overjoyed with the coffee of all things (oddly enough) BUT the food is fantastic. I LOVE the breakfast sandwiches and bagels. I know the coffee is good ...and they're very informative, I just don't think I have tried enough to find the one that I like the best. Again ... hands down ... breakfast sandwiches and bagels are a definite WIN! read more

Amazing atmosphere for meeting with friends, for business, or working. Good amount of seating, great alternative music, and nice lighting. I've never really liked any latte - iced or hot - I've gotten there though. It always tastes off. read more

I have to admit that the mix of reviews is perplexing. I've been to this cafe a few times over the last couple of weeks and have to say that my experience has been nothing but positive. First some background. I grew up on the West Coast where we've had specialty coffee for a lot longer than the East Coast has. Quick clue here folks, Starbucks doesn't really qualify as third wave specialty coffee. Since coming out to the East Coast a couple of years ago, one of the things I've really missed has been the cafe experience I was used to back home. A really good cafe has got to be able to do more than just pull a decent espresso. Sure, good espresso and batch brew are required, but just as important is the sum total of the experience. When you walk into your favorite cafe, the sights, sounds, and smells are all key elements. A good cup of coffee can be ruined by antiseptic ambiance, rude staff, or poor food accompaniments. Boston has some decent cafes, but its an hour away from me (much more when there's traffic), so getting my cafe fix down there is something that can only happen on the occasional weekend. So, as a poor substitute, I ordered great coffee from back home and brewed it myself. As you might imagine from this rambling story that I was excited when I heard that Flight Coffee was opening a cafe up my way. I had heard about Flight in the past and was an on-again off-again mail order customer depending on what they had on sale each month. I decided to skip the opening week since I don't fancy crowds all that much and showed up for the first time in mid February. Frankly, I was blown away. It's almost as if my favorite West Coast cafe had been scooped up by and deposited in Dover. The experience began when I walked through the door and all of my senses we engaged at once. The decor is incredible, those aromas of freshly brewed coffee were enticing and the food offerings were not that shabby either. What was really interesting was all of the ways I could have my coffee made at their pour over bar. Chemex, French Press, Hario, you name it, they have it. What a lot of people don't realize is that the exact same cup of coffee brewed three different ways will have three different taste profiles. On top of this, certain coffees lend themselves to certain brew methods more than others, so having the ability to choose the method is a big win. Finally, the people behind the bar are a really interesting bunch. From the owner, Claudia right on down, they know their stuff and love to talk coffee. If you want to try a new experience at the pour over bar, flag one of them down and get ready to learn some cool stuff. Great Job, Flight Coffee! Looking forward to my next cup. read more

Such a gem! This place has a great vibe, lots of seating, big sunny windows, yummy food selection (I highly recommend the pumpkin bread!) and quality coffee. I bring my laptop and stay for a couple hours, and it's my favorite place to work. So glad this place came to Dover! read more

This place is awesome! I like any coffee place that manages to make a cappuccino taste like something other than milk. It was just strong enough and really gorgeous. Staff are super nice and well informed. I'll be back :) read more

My husband and I moved from Seattle 7 years ago. We love good coffee, not Starbucks and definitely not Dunkin' donuts. We bought our own espresso machine when we moved because we couldn't find good coffee so needless to say we don't typically spend money on coffee. However we were so excited about Flight. It reminded us of a Seattle coffee shop. Even the wait - no coffee should be handed over quickly...you have to wait for it. Now here comes the bad part. We have been in 5 weekends in a row - we decided to have a regular Saturday morning date without the kids Every single time we have been in, the barista makes my husbands drink wrong. All he orders is an 8oz latte nonfat latte. That is exactly how he orders it...pretty straight forward. Yet every single time he gets it, it's either a 12 oz or just wrong. I finally told him to order a cappuccino the last visit. The guy at the register agreed with me and told him that cappuccinos are 8oz and that my suggestion was correct. I specifically remember because I gloated that the guy who works there told me I was right and my husband was wrong. Yet, after all that, he was handed a 12oz latte. ugh. Flight, I want to love you, I really do but I am not enjoying myself when I visit because I feel like I'm just waiting to see if your baristas are listening when we order our drinks...waiting and hoping they can get it right which makes me all the more disappointed when they don't. Is your drink is one listed on their menu, maybe you will have better luck. On the plus side, the open faced toasts are so good. And bagels are good too - but a little pricey at $2.50 for a dry bagel. read more

Good options as a true 3rd wave coffee joint. Nice place. Clean and well lit. Really interesting pallet wood interior. Very excited to see a first 3rd wave here in Dover. Boy was I wrong. Wow. Where to start. No greeting upon entry. Bad move #1. This is a must as a new place, even after I identified myself as a first timer. The staff wasn't very knowledgeable about product they are attempting to sell. Bad move #2. I appreciate the idea of a better product for a good price. I asked some pointed questions and the staff was utterly clueless. Ouch. I believe you get what you pay for. This is the first and most likely only time going in, I was treated like a complete lowlife. I work in an office in the Mill across the street and I am not the only person that has had a similar experience. I like to see for myself before passing judgement. Not recommended for the price point if the staff treats you bad and know almost nothing about how and what of the product they sell. read more

They really know their coffee and whatever beverage you get they will craft it with care! The look of the place is very cool and they have games and music. Fun sandwich men too. Coffee was best I had all trip and I got some free advice for home brewing. read more

Love this place. The new owners did a great job turning this place around and giving it a great vibe. I come here often for meetings and get togethers with friends :) read more

*AMAZING * coffee. Loved the vibe and low key feel to the place. Excited to go back and try the food next time.

Visiting from New York for a swim meet and this place was recommended. Great place, atmosphere and overall nice place. Food was great, prompt and the coffee was heavenly. read more

Loooove Flight Coffee Co. It didn't take long at all for it to turn into my "go to" coffee spot. Their espresso is perfect and their homemade donuts and bagels are out of this world. Super friendly staff... they will get to know you, your name and your favorite beverage and smile every time they see you. The atmosphere is super relaxed but very classy. They have a whole bookcase of games and sometimes live music, too! Bring a laptop to work, a book to relax or a friend to chat...or, just yourself. You won't be disappointed (unless you're hoping for something like watered down DD's or overly sweetened Starbucks...because you have no idea what coffee is supposed to actually taste like ;) ) read more

Coffee is good, I'm not smart enough to figure out the menu but that's my fault for not asking questions. Location is great with prices a little high but not for a coffee boutique. read more

Bullet point review: -I feel like I'm betraying Adelle's a bit going here but hey gotta check new places out -Very spacious, lots of room to sit: tables for four, six, two, couches and stools -Broken down in two areas: one has a much higher ceiling with, as every place has, hanging lights while the other has light from the (ceramic?) ceiling -High ceiling area has board games but seems more suitable for working; also small framed pictures of the winter environment -Big windows to peer outside at Dover which isn't a great sight but I like the natural light -Variety of small plants around -There's nothing particularly eye catching about this place but I find the color scheme calming -Ask whether it's for here to go to save on plastic cups I'm guessing, a smart move -Blueberry scone, sold at a pricey $2.75, is fluffy with slight blueberry taste: reminds me of a croissant (which they also sell) -They don't seem to sell drinks in different sizes, very odd -Iced latte $4.50 + .75 syrup is expensive -Only three syrups is unusual as well, with all three being in house: vanilla, honey and maple -Latte is strong and creamy: slight milky top -It is a good blend of espresso and milk with a slight vanilla tastes, but more creamy than I like -I also prefer the milk froth on top, which is how I make it at home -Pour over coffee is their speciality, a premium for coffee snobs (I'm not one) -It's so much their thing that's the wifi password -Employee who went over it with me, who you can tell is very much part of that crowd (I don't mean that as a negative) -Really detailed breakdown of location, altitude, flavoring and other attributes I did not know were aspects of coffee bean growth -Pour over bar area has Christmas-like lights over it -Mostly play hip hop music, maybe from the 90s -If you're really, really into coffee or have been looking for spacious area to work, this is where you should go; otherwise, like for me, it's just a novelty with quirks read more

I really wanted to love Flight. I've been a fan of their roasts since back when they were CQ Roasters. I'm sure their coffee is still fantastic and they seam to care about the craft, offering pourover, siphon, etc. and recommending a prep method for each coffee they are serving. The environment is also wonderful and provides a great place to kick back and relax or bring some work to. However, as my other reviews of coffee shops probably give away, I'm a big fan of espresso drinks and the is where Flight falls short for me. We tried several drinks: a valentine's day special with grenadine (sort of an espresso Shirley Temple), a maple latte, and a regular latte. In all three drinks, it was near impossible to taste the espresso. It was so overpowered by the milk that it was impossible to discern any of the notes of the espresso until the drink cooled, at which point bitter notes started to show through, but not in a good way. I will say that the maple latte was very enjoyable, but not as a latte so much as a nice, sweet drink. The valentine's drink was overly sweet, but fun and forgivable based on what it was. The real deal-breaker for me was the regular latte, though. For a place which roasts their own coffee and prides themselves on it, it's sad that I can't taste what I can only imagine is wonderful espresso. If you like your drinks sweet and milky and barely tasting of coffee, you'll enjoy Flight. If you like your drinks to be complex, layered and based upon a fine, flavorful espresso, stick with the coffee. You'll be happier. read more

Finally. Third wave coffee in NH. Flight Coffee Co. I know they have won a lot of national awards. They roast in Bedford. The cafe is in Dover. The best place to sit is at the pour over bar. I ordered The Flight and was educated on how processing impacts tasting notes. Ordered the Avocado with perfectly poached soft boiled egg. Psyched to try the cold brew coffee on nitro tap too. Flight Coffee has a hip and west coast vibe. read more

Great coffee and great staff. Flight is a warm and hospitable place for the community where you can get a very delicious cup of coffee. The owner, Claudia is so knowledgable about her brews. She is passionate about her coffee and is very welcoming. Give Flight a try. read more

Really over priced. My bf and I went here opening week, and I got a medium ice coffee and a cinnamon bun... For close to $8. I literally had to add half a shaker of sugar to my coffee just to make it drinkable, and had to pour out over half and add cream because it was so intensely acidic. I ended up giving it to my bf. The people were really snooty and seemed almost exasperated that I didn't know what was on their menu. I had never heard of a pour over bar? If you're going to have something new to the area at least be willing to explain what it is. read more

If you are really, REALLY into coffee, the varying flavors, subtleties and complexities of the mighty bean, you should find your way to Flight Coffee. These folks really take coffee seriously, and mine was excellent. Just as importantly, Flight is a friendly, welcoming place, thoughtful and deliberate in its decor and seating. There are some nice community tables, small tables and bar seating. Pretty and spacious, it was a wonderful find in downtown Dover. I'll be back to sample their extensive coffees (they emphasize international offerings rather than gimmicky drinks) and their food. read more

Cute place! I tried nitro cold brew for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff seemed kind of distracted even though I was the only one in line... maybe just a little preoccupied? They were very friendly though! Will be back soon. read more
