With its cozy charm and percolating menu, The Flying Joe sets brains and bellies abuzz. Liven up a lukewarm day with steaming sips of a Flying Joe mocha ($3.20–$4.15) or cappuccino ($2.70–$3.60), or cool off after an afternoon of competitive sun starting with an iced chai latte ($3.40–$3.80) or vanilla latte ($3.55–$3.95). A barista will break out the blender and its accompany tambourines to mix a bevy of frothy beverages, from frozen hot chocolate ($3.85–$4.25) to fruit smoothies ($3.90–$4.30). Pair an enlivening espresso concoction with a selection from Flying Joe's happening pastry scene, including scones, muffins, cookies and cakes, or breakfast offerings such as a bagel with cream cheese or breakfast burrito.

The Flying Joe, with its warm-hued walls adorned with artwork, provides a comfy backdrop for studying, meeting with friends, or hiding from roving KGB operatives. Stop by for a quick sip, or stay and take in a tune or three from the coffee spot's selection of live music.
