Flying M Coffee House — Restaurant in Idaho

I've spent decades of my life and thousands of my dollars at Flying M. It is a shining beacon of light and beauty in a dark world. It is a place where people can feel safe and be themselves, whomever they may be. And it's also worth mentioning that the coffee is second to none in this city.

In response to the customer complaining about the discomfort of explaining what a "dom top" is to his children, I'll admit as a fellow middle-aged CIS white guy, I had to look that term up as well. And I found the definition no more offensive than the time I had to explain to my children what the Nickelback lyrics "you look so much cuter with something in your mouth" meant after we heard that blaring from one of the million bicycle bars assaulting our ears downtown. Or when I had to explain to them that the grown men carrying assault rifles downtown were there to threaten and intimidate a peaceful assembly of citizens trying to stop police brutality across our nation. Or the many times I've had to explain that the blood on the sidewalks around 6th and Main is a consequence of the deadly combination of toxic masculinity and alcohol.

We live in a complex world full of awful things. But it's also a world that's still full of beautiful things, and the community that Flying M has created for people who don't fit in anywhere else is absolutely one of the most beautiful things that the city of Boise...

Top five places in town for brewed drinks. I've been going to Flying M for the past 17 years and have enjoyed their iced tea brew. I've also made great friendships with other regulars throughout the years.

The atmosphere is very casual, I've seen people wearing suits to others wearing sweatpants. It is an eclectic group of people which makes the place what it is.

When it comes to drinks the quality is by far above other competition in town. I've taken guests here that are coffee connoisseurs and they have always given a rave review.

As far as food there is not much for protein so don't plan on ordering lunch. They do have tasty sweets that goes with your drink such as cookies, rice crispy treats, cake, etc.

The only critique I have is about the staff. It depends on the day but sometimes they are cordial and sometimes they are stand offish. As a public establishment I would suggest always being cordial toward every guest.

To sum up the post, Flying M has great drinks in a very casual atmosphere. If you have a sweet tooth, this is the perfect pit stop. Great place that has...

Flying M is a Boise staple, and it's a great place to get coffee, meet people, study, and shop for eclectic gifts. Flying M has always been at the top of my choices for a coffee shop in Boise, and when I didn't live in Boise and visited it was always one of the top places I would meet people at.

In addition, they have taken the steps to help try to mitigate the spread of SARS-CoV-2 by asking customers to wear masks, removed seating so as to space people at least 6 ft apart, and of course all their staff wear masks. They're really epitome of a good coffee shop that understands that everyone needs to do their part, so they do what they need to in spite of the fact that CDH won't enforce their own rules (there are plenty of other coffee shops in town that are flat out ignoring CDH rules).

Some of the drawbacks to note is that in pre-COVID, Flying M would get really packed and the wireless would take a hit. That just comes with being a popular place that is frequented by many.

Overall I recommend the place for anyone I know that's going downtown that wants good coffee and a...
