The Flying M is probably the most popular coffee shop in Boise. Their varieties of coffee are the same as any other place, but the ambience here is what sells. The decor is both cozy and artsy, and even if you are sitting alone (pretending) to read a newspaper, the people watching alone will leave you entertained. They have a happy hour every weekday where you can get discounted coffee drinks. Plus this is the only spot in Boise I know of with an art vending machine. For five dollars, you can get a mini handmade piece of art made my an independent artist. It's expensive for what you get, but it's a cool extra that makes a cool coffee shop even better.
