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.

Lattes and coffee are really good the barista makes a killer coffee but the egg sandwich was def mid. bland bun kinda chewy and egg was def just heated up but the sauce was yummy. I will say the lattes milk was warm and not too hot

The iced Matcha Latte opened me and my friend's eyes to our new favorite, it was fantastic! Thank you!

Love the wood of the seating and bar area.

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.

I was a huge Flying Machine fan when they were in Urbana, but the new Avionics location did not disappoint.

It’s a bit small, and there’s no Pizza M or wine/beer, but the wait staff is friendly, lattes are delicious, and if you’re gluten free, they can make any sandwich on their grit “cake” (basically a circle of warm grits on a plate but still delicious), although they do run out kind of early sometimes.

You might have to share a larger table with wooden benches (no backs) if you don’t get lucky with a table, though, and if you get an iced beverage, be careful they don’t accidentally make it hot (but they’ll gladly remake!).

The drinks I've had are just as fantastic as the Urbana location. The food is really unique in the best possible way. I can't wait to try everything else on the menu. The staff is super friendly, helpful, and willing to put up with my inability to pick items quickly. The atmosphere is really nice, like when you go to a friend's house and wonder why you can't get your place to feel like that. I definitely recommend buying some coffee beans before you go. I'm terrible at making coffee but the beans from Ethiopia I bought and brewed at home resulted in the best pot of coffee I ever made.

This coffee shop is very close to my boyfriend’s house, so if they’re open and we can make it on Saturday mornings, we love to go and order their signature rosemary mocha. It’s our favorite! The drink isn’t always consistent—the taste can be slightly different from one visit to the next—but the main issue I have with this cafe is the baristas. They are not very welcoming or friendly, nor do they ever try to engage with their customers. It’s a little disappointing, especially considering we’re regulars. The coffee is pricy but we still come in because we know this is the only place we can get this specific mocha.

I ordered a hot chocolate and it was literally heavenly! The cafe is cozy and a good place to sit and work! Also they have newspapers! Definitely visit.
