Really over over rated ...
by CoffeeFiend35 at Citysearch
Okay, so I've heard nothing but good things about this place ... but I don't know why. First of all, the food and coffee are way below par and the staff (especially this one guy) have no personality. At first I thought he (they) were just having a bad day. Alas, NO. They are ALWAYS this moody. It's almost as if we are "bothering" them and they are just too cool to be there. So, no thanks. I've got better things to do than to get attitude from people who have a superiority complex, are pseudo-intellectual and really are not THAT interesting.
I would rather go to Starbucks.
- Pros: Nope
- Cons: read the review

Cool Staff and a Vacuum Cleaner Lamp!
by culdigital at Citysearch
I could name the material things that make Flightpath's aspect so inviting, the bright colored walls, the art that adds meaning to my post-modern, post-mortem world - but that would not do you justice. Here's a story: I left my new leather jacket behind on a chair and did not even know I had done so, until the next day, when I returned for another heavenly latte and Chris identified me as the owner of said piece of dead cattle. Honesty? In Austin, TX the home of the esteemed Mr. DeLay and passing grounds for Mr. Rove? Wow! Austin, Sign me up! Chris, and all the hard working crew at Flightpath need some extra Ceasar coinage shoved there way so, come all ye who seek comfort of free wifi, intelligent caffeine addicts and beautiful velvet ladies hidden in the grid. Oh, and they have a Vacuum cleaner lamp!
- Pros: People, Wifi, Quiet
- Cons: Not 24 hours!, More Velvet!

LAND HERE!
by borderline at Citysearch
I started coming here after I got fed up with Spider House and I must say it is a huge improvement. I haven't had trouble finding a place to sit or plug in my laptop and the staff is polite, REALLY! Plus the wireless connection works (a big prob at Spider, it always goes out)! They don't have a great outdoor seating area but aside from that it is a wonderful change from the STRESS of other coffee houses (rude staff, hordes of people usually loud and whiny pretentious teenagers, no seating, way too loud music). I love this place! In fact I am here right now and I feel so calm... What a relief!
- Pros: great staff, plenty of seating, good wireless
- Cons: minimal outdoor area
