I love coming here to work on my grad school assignments, the art and environment is really thoughtful, cozy, and unique, which I like a lot more than the more "industrial/sterile" contemporary vibe of other coffee shops. The iced coffee is very solid and reasonably priced! The outside area is nice, but the last several times I have come, there have been people smoking cigarettes in the outdoor seating area, which really affected my breathing and concentration. While they do have a sign that says "no smoking within 15 ft. of doorway", the outdoor area is pretty tight and enclosed with tall fences and roof, allowing for minimal airflow. I wanted to stay working on an assignment outside for a good chunk of time, and I even put on a mask to protect myself from the smoke. Ultimately, I had to leave today earlier than I had wanted because the smoke in the outdoor environment was just too uncomfortable. It would be nice to be able to chill in the awesome outdoor area without having to worry about being bothered by...
Read moreVery chill coffee place to hang out and work or meet up with a friend. It is quieter than your average place of this size. It is very big for a coffee shop with 4 areas of seating. There is an outdoor area that allows smoking and people definitely do take advantage of that for that purpose. They have a room up front by where you order with many tables and a bigger area in the back. There is also more room to sit up outside in front of the restaurant. Parking can be hard, but there is also parking in the back of the coffeehouse as well. The coffee was really good. I always order coffee without sweeteners or flavoring on my first trip to a place to try our the actual coffee and it was quite good. Customer service was excellent and pretty good prices and options. Great place to conduct business, hangout or get some work done. Do not expect to be loud though, although no one cares if you talk keeping voices lower than your average place of this size is something you can tell is...
Read moreAustin is full of coffee houses but the Flightpath is absolutely my favorite. The staff is fantastic, the vibe of the place is warm and laid-back, they’re open late and early, there’s good WiFi, and they have a really good selection of snack foods from energy bars to cake to quiche to sandwiches which are perfect for snacking. In the morning they have delicious breakfast tacos to get your day started but if you want even more the Biscuits and Groovy food truck is just around the corner of the building. It doesn’t take long to see why this place is a favorite with the UT crowd and it is often full of studying students. No complaints from me on that, that’s the mark of a successful coffeehouse and if I was going to UT I would likely be there working constantly. TONS of parking in the neighborhood; the no parking complainers must not be able to walk more than 50 feet. I don’t understand them at all because after coming here for years I’ve never had to park more than a...
