The coffee was great! I got a rosemary latte with oat milk and it was delicious. The staff is extremely helpful about dietary restrictions. The vibe is great. Highly recommend people to try out this place.

First time trying this coffee spot and the coffee was okay but the service was unfortunately off putting and made me feel unwelcome. This place would have been somewhere to go often but not the case. Would rather go to other coffee spots in champaign with great service and welcoming conversation.

I love the name! The service wasn't very friendly. The coffee was ok. The decor inside was pretty basic.

Ending up being a really good coffee shop, the staff was very nice on an early morning. I didn't try any of the goods but they looked good and fresh.

Wonderful place to get coffee, breakfast food and/or pastries. Prices are better and quality is on another level compared to the chains.

Favorite coffee place in Champaign! The coffee is very rich, and they have their specialty coffee as well. Seating area is also nice, there are few thats comfortable enough for studying/working. But I specifically love sitting at the bar with the high chair!
First off, I have to start this review with the fact that I'm not a local. Visited Flying Machine after a few local friends, my partner and I went shopping in the area, and though a quick visit, I found the shop's service and food great! Grabbed myself a muffin, and it was perfect though not warmed up (my preference). As well, the shop had a great atmosphere as folks quietly worked away, and both my partner and I loved our Matcha and iced coffee, respectively. If you're local to the area, do give the shop a try. The park nearby was beautiful, and I could definitely see myself working in the store's dining area were I able to.

Went there for three times. 3.5 stars would be most acc. It is located near downtown area but not many people go there. Had great indoor decor -- as some previous reviewers said, it had a interesting combination of modernism and nature. However, food was not as good as environment. The menu was very limited (together with my friend we already covered the whole menu lol). I saw on Yelp that they offered the Lox Plate and Avocado Stack, which looked pretty amazing. Unfortunately they do not offer these any more. The lox bagel was super small, so were the egg sandwich and granola. The sandwiches tasted OK, but the granola was way too sweet for me. Luckily the price was reasonable. Not very likely to come here again as it offers too few things now. They do offer more drinks than food. So in general due to its decor and the fact that not many people go there, it would not be a bad choice to study or work here anyway.

A great part of the fabric of Champaign-Urbana! The atmosphere is great for work, studying, reading, or hanging out with a friend and the drinks are top notch! The baristas are very accommodating and their baked goods are lovely.

Coffee was great, building is cool. Quiet part of downtown. Baristas did not seem too happy I came in, maybe was a long morning. Empty at 11:00am on Saturday.

One of the best coffee shops in the area!! I love the atmosphere; it’s perfect for a quiet day of studying or just chatting with friends. Although it’s not my personal fav, I definitely believe they have the best coffee. Everyone should try this place!!!!
