Update: Came back a few more times after my last review three years ago, and how much this place has changed! This time I got a frappe (which is a little watery, but still good!), and the vanilla latte. Both great and will be coming more often. read more

t's a beautiful coffeehouse. I loved the decor. My latte was absolutely beautiful and delicious. I had the classic sandwich. I liked it but bread needs a little butter. I would definitely go back. Barista did an amazing job. read more

It's obviously a well thought out coffee house with our music activities food for everybody I do wish they had more description of what certain drinks were so it would make it easier for me to be adventurous but otherwise top notch can't really complain also I'm sure if I'd done a little research I would know it was in the purple Haze tea that I was considering getting instead I went with the juice which I was grateful they had so that means even space for kids and I did see some enjoying themselves but I'd say come prepared bring some chalk for their chalkboard space for the kids to use or have them some activities so that they don't become bored and I'm sure if you look around enough there books that you can borrow while you're hanging out and using up their space but all over I'd say this is definitely the Dover coffee house for me read more

Super cute and chic little breakfast spot! I always get an oatmilk latte with whatever flavor comes to mind that morning. Their breakfast sandwiches are to die for. Definitely need to try this place at least once! read more

I love their various vegetarian menu options. The food is fresh, nutritious and delicious. I'm not a coffee person so my favorite drink is the Mint Matcha. Favorite entree is the Packed Bowl. I wish they didn't close their kitchen at 2pm when their hours are till 4pm. read more

Flight is the cutest little coffee shop in Dover! The coffee is fabulous and the breakfast sandwiches hit the spot! The space is nice to sit and do work as well. Worth a try, for sure! read more

Great staff, delicious coffee, my favorite cold brew in town, and awesome vegetarian food options too. You can't go wrong here.

So cozy inside!! Comfortable morning work space and brunch!! Loved the vibe. I ran in and grabbed a chocolate chip banana bread slice and a Blueberry muffin!! Great prices here. I will recommend and return :D read more

Came in for the first time to try a hot chai, and it had almost no flavor at all! Tasted like hot milk. The only flavor was the little shake of cinnamon they added on the top. Really disappointed since it's a nice walk from work at lunch. read more

Been going to flight for a hot min now, always happy with the joint. Real hipster tho, the dover that I grew up with has changed and this is a landmark of the change. read more

Love this place. People here are so nice and it's a great place to sit do some work have breakfast and great drink. Definitely will be back. read more

Breakaway Cafe - Mocha Latte was great!! Not too sweet and love the pretty design. - Cafes Near Me - Dover, New Hampshire

Flight has a great space but leaves much to be desired. For a trendy coffee shop, they have very few vegan and vegetarian options for food. They only have cold brew for iced coffee, which coffee lovers know that there is a difference. Additionally, when ordering a chai iced latte, was just chai latte mix and milk, the milk was not frothed and the entire drink tasted very very watery. Lastly, there are so many flies. We covered our coffees with napkins to keep them as bay. At one point, I had 5 flies inside the restaurant on the window next to my table at one time. When we went to order muffins there were MANY fruit flies in the case that we decided against it. Additionally, if you are getting coffee to go, be prepared for one single size. I really don't appreciate this because I often find myself wanting a large coffee only to be left with about a medium size. Not sure the restaurant's rational for doing this. read more

One of my favorite coffee shops in Dover. The cappuccino with oat milk is always perfect. A cozy place to work or start date day with your partner. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. I have watched many incarnations of coffee shops in this location over the years - and even considered this corner my main Dover "hangout" at several points in time - but, with Flight Coffee, they have reached the highest pinnacle of quality, selection and experience that has ever existed here. Experience is what I'd like to highlight herein, since so many other reviews have covered the excellence of their coffee - coffee which is truly amazing. Because stopping here is an experience. I mean, sure, you can run in, order a standard cup and bolt. You'll get a good product, at a slightly above-standard cost. You may or may not reflect upon what you are drinking or how good it is. You may spill some. You know: life. The same crappy hustle that defines modern life, kills the soul, and why pharmaceutical companies now rule the world. But, if you take the time to select (or ask the knowledgeable and friendly staff to suggest*) the right coffee/tea type and the brew method (of several options) that speaks to you, then take the time to sit in this relaxed, unpretentious** atmosphere and savor it...well, it pretty much all comes together. Your day will likely be vastly improved. I have had several different coffee selections here, and a friend has tried the tea service. Our first trip here together created a fond memory and a great experience. Can I give any higher praise? I have yet to try the food, but am really looking forward to the soup and grilled cheese combo. (I'm not hip enough for the avocado toast.) I also plan on trying every possible incarnation of coffee they offer. Make no mistake, if you are used to a diner "cup of joe", with diner prices, you may experience a bit of sticker shock. But you may also learn to love coffee for the flavor, and not just the kick. And you may discover that tea made from actual plants, rather than bagged floor sweepings, can be delightful. * My first time in, I walked up to the counter and asked the first person I saw to make me the best cup of coffee I had ever had: dealer's choice. And, I'll be damned if, after a couple of questions and few moments of thought, he pulled off a tie with the best I've had. Which is more impressive than it may sound. I have had a lot of great coffee. ** Key to my enjoyment of the place. An extremely high standard and exacting protocol does not have to equal pinky-extended snobbery. This place is professional and painstakingly careful (read: full of care), but relaxed. This balance takes deliberate effort to pull off, and they nailed it. read more

Cozy. Delicious. Friendly. 2018 Update: I'm knocking one star off this review due to the ongoing problems with Flight's Internet connection, which appears to be using IPv6 to filter traffic (the web works, but not any form of app/other data on your device). This is a shame, since the owners have clearly invested so much in making the ambiance a cozy, comfortable place to hang out, but not if if you cannot get work done. I'll update later if anything changes. I haunt more coffee shops than Casper on Saturday morning cartoons. Having worked out of near every coffee shop from Boston to Portsmouth to Portland I can legitimately claim Flight is hands-down one of the most cozy, competent, and consistent place to work with a quality cup of beans by your side. Coffee selections are varied and menu options like Stonehouse donuts and the amazing Trailmarker (get it with bacon, trust me) are delicious accompaniments to your specialty coffee. Weekend live musicians entertain and free board games bring a sense of community to the space few others match. Aan incredibly well thought out rustic yet modern interior place Flight a level unmatched by any other in the seacoast or, arguably, even Boston or Portland proper. Cheap parking, superb service, and central location only help. Now if only it was profitable for them to stay open a bit later during the week, I would probably never leave this place. read more

First off the smell when you enter is mouth watering. I did not have any food here but the bagels looked awesome and my kids loved the chocolate muffins. The coffee was great as well. I will go here again when I am in the area. read more

Love love love Flight!! One of my favorite coffee shops of all time - delicious coffees and teas, yummy food, friendly staff, great atmosphere! Anytime I'm in the Dover area I always make sure to stop by Flight for a quick bite. I recommend the Rosemary bagel and the London Fog tea! read more

Good coffee! Decent breakfast! Would be nice if they invested in some air purifying machines here as a lot of people come, stay and go. Air gets humid and warm and potential bringer of Covid exposure as more and more people come in. I came here, it was packed. Had to really wear a mask. Place has no ventilation except the kitchen and the swinging of the front entrance. read more

I came here a while back when I was visiting New England and I'm pretty sure this place is a hidden gem. I came here with a few friends when it was snowing like crazy, so to come to a spacious, yet cozy, warm place (both the people and the ambience) made the trek worth it. So, apparently this place is known for their homemade bagels?! WHAT. I honestly cannot remember for the life of me the bagel I got, but from what I hear, they're all good. So, I went ahead and ordered the Bacon Me Crazy ordeal (egg, bacon, tomato cheddar, and N.H. Maple Syrup) w/ my "unknown-but, I'm-pretty-sure-it-was-cheese" bagel. And yeah, you heard me. Maple syrup was all over that goodness. It was so good, I'm drooling just thinking about it. And for my drink? I ordered the chai, which all syrups and drinks are made in house. So yes, the chai too, was made from scratch. And the service? They were all great. The managers were out and about making coffee through the siphon and chemex and offered some coffee tastings to a friend who was a regular there. Overall, everything was great. If I lived in the area, I'm pretty sure I would buy out their bagels. read more

Fast and friendly. Great single source espresso, as well as blends. Menu is packed with options for vegetarians and vegans (not my jam but if it's yours, you're welcome). Food is solid, lots of space and nice semi-upscale atmosphere. read more

The mocha decaf was amazing! Flight gets very busy and crowded on a Sunday at midday.

I had pour over coffee. It was very fresh and tasty. It was fun looking at barista's professional work. I also had chocolate donut and chocolate muffin. The pastries are probably not made here, so it was okay. read more

Great breakfast Sammy. Good flavor or toasted bagel. Legit coffee. Great latte art. Thanks!

Excellent coffee and pastries. I had a chocolate chip cookie and wife had the chocolate chip banana bread both were excellent. Great to see them busy too. read more

Extremely slow. Plan to wait over 15 minutes for a toasted bagel with cream cheese when it is not busy. Also, pricing on the board is not always up to date and accurate. The coffee is good but unless you have an hour to kill it isn't worth the stop. read more

Love this place! Bagels house made are AMAAAZING! Coffee is primo! I drive out of my way to visit this place. The staff is also out of this world. Can't recommend enough! read more

Best coffee shop in Dover! 100% hooked! Flight is absolutely the best coffee shop I can find in Dover. The coffee, the food, the service, the vibe are just perfect. I love going to Flight for a breakfast after morning jog around Dover downtown and Henry Law Park. The Café Latte is so good (both Hot and Ice). The Asiago Bagel with Cheese Spread is my favorite. The Peanut Butter toast is also quite satisfying for breakfast. The donut is a bit too sweet for me. In the weekend, Flight Coffee sometimes has open mic or live music session. They post the schedule on the wall next to the counter and in their IG. I've never been to one but will definitely go one day. The only one thing I would like to give suggestion is for their opening hours to be longer especially in the weekends. read more

This coffee shop was recommended by our kids who live in the area, and we got there close to closing time, but the staff was WONDERFUL, friendly and really busy, and the coffee was fresh and delicious. If we lived in the area we would be regulars, I'm sure. Would have loved to catch a local band performing, too, but we'll save that for our next visit. read more

Flight offers a great variety of delicious coffees (including siphon flights), lattes, and food. The siphon flights are really cool but they don't let you watch them make it as they do at the Starbucks Reserve locations. There's a small seating bar up where the barista makes drinks, so if they convert this to focus on pour overs and siphons instead of to go orders, it would be even better. There's often a bit of a line when you walk in but there's plenty of seating so no need to worry about having to take your food to go. There's a variety of breakfast sandwiches from sweet to savory, and all are Delicious! Coming to flight you definitely will not leave disappointed. While all the pastries are good, try the chocolate chip pumpkin bread for a great fall treat! read more

Flight has been such a welcome addition to Dover since it first started at the corner years ago. The staff is always friendly and will go above and beyond to make sure that you have everything that you need. The coffee shop itself is spacious, perfect for catching up with friends or getting work done on a more quiet weekday morning. They have a great offering of both breakfast and lunch food and every form of coffee or tea one could want. They support locals artists of all kinds and even have a great selection of their own beans as well as beans from other cool companies for you to brew your own cup of coffee at home. My only complaint is that they aren't open later! Thanks for all you do for the community of Dover, Flight crew. read more

Skip the line at Starbucks and Dunkin. Do yourself, and local business, a favor and give Flight a go! Legitimately the best coffee and breakfast sandwich I've had in New England so far. We commonly get it to-go at our office and I'm officially hooked. I don't typically get the "fancy" coffees but those that do love their lattes. Their coffee is delicious. Plenty of flavors and options for everyone. You can order online! read more

Never any seating and the customers here are NOT there for coffee or food, they literally just sit there with their computers and I'm not sure why they even sell coffee or food at all - they should just call it the computer lounge read more

Best cafe ever, always stop here when I am in the area. The wait is usually long but it is worth it!

Good coffee and real good service. It is roomy and quiet. A good place to meet with friends or work.

Really great coffee. There aren't a lot of snacks or other things but if you're looking for just a solid cuppa Joe this is a good spot to find yourself. read more

I wish I lived closer to Dover because I would go to Flight all the time. I was so impressed with their cool decor and great list of drinks. I ordered an iced Purple Haze tea and it was so good. Probably the best iced tea I've had and I loved the lavender. I've never been a fan of lavender in tea before but this worked so well with the other ingredients. Yum. We were there on a quiet Wednesday morning so not much of a wait. I really liked the cool artwork they had for sale (I even followed the artist's FB to see what else he's up to). I definitely want to return and try some of their coffee as they had really interesting flavors. read more

Flight is a Dover staple. I come here very often for coffee and bagels. The coffee is high quality and strong. The bagels are fresh. The free wifi is a huge plus. The baristas are very nice and good at their jobs. The ambiance is awesome. Each month they display art from local artists. All around my favorite cafe! read more

OMG- do I have a new Fav coffee shop? I do get a little fickle naming fav's but... First, my latte was excellent. And I know a good latte when I meet one! Beautiful shop, easy parking, super friendly people, very knowledgable, lots of coffee offerings, they even make Aerobie Press coffee. Never seen that except on a camping trip. But they have pour over, even a siphon coffee maker. Way cool. And very comfy and chill vibe. The pastry selection is small but look excellent. Unfortunately my GF convinced me it's time for low carbs for awhile. Darn I hate when she does that. Missing are breakfast food items, oatmeal, ACAI bowls, etc that are s mainstay of Southern California coffee shops. Hence 4 stars. And I would be remiss if not mentioning my standard line. Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks. Except in a caffeine emergency. Then you get a pass. read more

Breakaway Cafe - Nothing like an afternoon latte. - Cafes Near Me - Dover, New Hampshire

Hey there Kelly It was a pleasure to meet you yesterday and wanted to say thank you for the pour over. I'm partial to Ethiopian beans, but you were right ..Brandywine and Columbia put out amazing flavors with that one. I don't know how your team does it, but there was absolutely no hint of bitterness at all.. I do pour overs every day at home, but can't match the quality and flavors that your team is able to pull from those beans. Latte's are ridiculously consistently good. I've been coming to your spot since you opened for two reasons. The first is the people. Everyone is always friendly, and I just feel good being there. STAFFS-GIVING 2021 was something I've never experienced before and thought that was a great move on your part. ..and I never ever received a gift card FROM a business I frequent in my 50+ trips around the sun. That was an amazing touch, and can't be more thankful for that gesture. Hopefully, I can expand my horizons and give Dover Rock City a try this summer. Kudos to you, your wife and the rest of the team for what you've done. Jeff Cook read more
