Flight Coffee of Dover

A great coffee shop in a small town of Dover! I am glad that Dover has a cafe like Flight Coffee. The cafe itself has a great atmosphere, makes it easy for me to do all of my work. The staffs are friendly. The coffee is definitely the best coffee I've ever had. Pastries are great! Once in a while I would stop by on my way to work to get pastries from Flight. Nothing from this place has disappointed me!

I used to dislike this place, but now I'm more obsessed than my husband. I love coming here. The atmosphere is really warm and welcoming. Lots of hipsters. Bit pricey, but they make their own tea blends. Tea and tea lattes are delicious. Ask for a purple haze!

Lovely space, good coffee, wish they were open later in the day, not just till 2 or 3... would love to be here till the evening instead of going to a bar. It seems this is the only cafe in town with dine in which is great to get away from home. Social distancing measures masks are used 🙏

Great place bagels were delicious, nice atmosphere.

Really wanted to like it here. But it took 30 minutes to get 2 sandwiches to go. Meanwhile, everyone out back was eating. I get needing to eat, but we were literally the only ones waiting.

Editing to reply...
We weren’t standing in line. The line came after us. I’m not lying about it being 30 minutes. Just reviewing so people know what to expect.

Love that they do a kids size hot chocolate (and they make it just the right temp for my little). I tried the Purple Haze special - chamomile and lavender latte with honey. Unreal good. Pleasant atmosphere with chill baristas and comfy couches. 10/10

Fair warning: the bagel recipe they use (to this date) resembles a cross between a bagel and an English muffin in texture and flavor. But, I love both of these things, so it's not an issue for me. A nice, cozy take on the retro/vintage/industrial vibe places have been going for this decade. Clean furnishings, board games for groups, and very accommodating service.

Stopped in for lunch after a museum - nice vibe inside, didn't feel crowded even with plenty of people there. Lunch was simple but delicious - they know that they do well and do it. Will absolutely make this a regular stop anytime I'm around Dover

Alright first things first, they have some really good product here. The pour-over coffee options are great and incredibly tasty (the best in the area). It’s incredibly refreshing to find a coffee shop that isn’t muddled with burn tasting dark roasts. The bagels are awesome and live up to the hype (the sandwiches can be greasy be warned). Can’t speak to the espresso, but it was fine the few times I’ve tried it.

(EDIT: gonna give this a quick edit before you read the below. This place has grown and changed in a many ways from when the new management took over, all for the better. While the space itself has changed a lot as well, I'm gonna just say that as a consumer, it's nice to see a company grow and adapt.)

The culture of this place is garbage though. I spent my entire morning hearing one of the managers and following staff blab about a sales goal they set for themselves that they had almost reached. For me, that’s a huge turn off. If I’m to be a patron of an establishment, I’d rather not have the operators openly speak about my experience as their direct capital. That’s just upsetting an unprofessional. There’s also this “best of the world we’re saving the seacoast coffee scene” attitude here that is really upsetting me. I enjoy an ultra fancy tasty cup of coffee just as much as the next person, but you don’t need to treat this store as if we’re in New York by getting yourself off with your product. There’s no need to tell people here that you’re the elite and you should buy into it. People will either recognize it or ignore it here rather than congratulate themselves on it’s opulence. Change your attitude, or move to an actual city. There’s no room for that here.

For most people who feel the way I do, they already recognize this and feel the same way pretty quickly, but I still feel like it should be vocalized. These days, I try my coffee, buy my bags, and make my own at home.

I got the turkey avo melt, and the turkey is THICK and honestly the flavor of it made me lose my appetite. My sourdough was soggy. Not cheap either, my coffee was delicious but overall my experience was underwhelming. I won’t be returning
