Up and Away Coffee Guide at Boise Airport (BOI)

Shop Overview

Up and Away Fueled by Flying M Coffee is your Concourse B grab-and-go stop for quality coffee and bakery items at Boise Airport (BOI). Built around the popular local brand Flying M Coffee, it’s designed for travelers who want something better than standard drip coffee—fast—without sacrificing flavor.

Expect a streamlined café experience: order at the counter, customize your espresso drink, and pair it with an easy-to-carry pastry or breakfast bite. The biggest “exclusive” here is access to a local Boise-area coffee brand after security, which makes it a smart last-chance stop for a taste of Idaho before boarding.

What to Buy

• Espresso-based drinks: Lattes, cappuccinos, Americanos, and mochas are typically the top sellers for morning departures and tight connections.
• Cold coffee options: When available, iced espresso drinks or cold brew-style choices are ideal if you’re heading to a warm destination or want something that lasts through boarding.
• Fresh bakery items: Look for portable pastries (think muffins, croissants, or similar café staples) that won’t slow you down at the gate.
• Quick breakfast pairings: If you’re skipping a sit-down meal, build a “flight kit” with a coffee plus a pastry—easy to eat during boarding or once you’re settled.

Local specialty angle: The main draw is Flying M Coffee itself—a recognizable local name—so if you enjoy trying regional brands while traveling, this is a solid pick.

Price comparisons: This is not a duty-free shop, so there are no duty-free savings. Expect typical airport pricing (usually higher than off-airport cafés), but you’re paying for convenience and post-security access.

• Time buffer: For morning flights, allow extra time—coffee queues can build fast right after security.
