Aviatori Coffee House - Springfield, Illinois

From out of town and so glad I stopped in at Aviatori. I’ve been looking for a solid cappuccino and was so happy the one I ordered was an espresso-forward 8 oz pour. Solid shot and not bitter, just bold flavor. Will absolutely be back for seconds before I leave now that I’ve tasted their brew.

Grabbed a blueberry muffin, which was tasty and fresh—freckled with tart berries.

Another person who ordered before me got an iced drink that came with coffee ice cubes in the shape of planes! How cool is that?!

Interior is fantastic. Wish I’d had time to sit and enjoy the decoration, music, and warm environment.

I instantly felt welcome & cozy. The decor is inventive with beautiful woodwork in this quaint converted house. My cappuccino was perfectly made and all the prices were reasonable. The owner was extremely friendly and gladly answered all my questions. She's also an actual pilot!!!!

Aviatori is a good option for coffee if you're headed downtown, but it would be worth the visit any time. I'd encourage new patrons to go inside to check out the fun decor.

I'd describe the inside as an homage to flight, set in your grandparents' living room. It's more museum than café, but still manages to be cozy.

It's clear that the owner has pride in their product and in creating a comfortable and unique atmosphere.

Honestly, the coffee is on the expensive side, but the drinks and pastries that I've had are undeniable good. I've tried the drip coffee and an espresso based drink. The regular coffee was good, but the espresso is even better.

Last thought, I've never gotten in and out of Aviatori quickly, so I'd recommend you go with the intention of enjoying yourself and savoring quality. If you're just trying to get in and out, then there are better options to suit that need.

Amazing coffee place. Lovely italian coffee. They have a lovely espresso machine which is very unique. Lots of information on aviations as you sip that coffee. The barista is very professional and she treats you with so much of love. The place by itself is awesome, you never feel like you are in a coffee shop. Its so much different.

"Aviatori" is an immersive experience you can't possibly miss. Not only it is quite a beautiful coffee house, but it embraces the best of the best for location (and convenient parking), top quality Brazilian coffee served in a superb, historical building, with vintage, cozy furnishing with aviation related pictures and objects abounding in all rooms. The balanced, olfactory blend of fresh coffee and old wood will mesmerize your senses. Ah, and if you are in a rush, the convenient drive-through will get your coffee in no-time!

I highly recommend this coffee shop! The building is so beautiful with the older features. It is such a cozy place to visit. I have told multiple friends about it and will be back. Not to mention, the lady who owns the shop is so sweet and I absolutely love the airplane ice cubes! This place is such a great new addition to the local community of Springfield!

Great coffee and hot chocolate. The cheese bread was very tasty as was the Carmel apple muffin. Prices were very reasonable. The service was amazing and the interior is beautiful! Will be coming back.

I had a vanilla cappuccino & it was lovely! Best coffee I've had in Springfield. I also love that the big espresso machine is on display & I can watch it being made.
The inside is unique & cozy with lots of natural light & places to sit and enjoy yourself.
My only con is that I wish there were bigger/more tables. This is the closest coffee shop to the medical school campus & as a student, I need the space to study! Would come more often if I had space to set up shop!
