I had my first coffee flight in 2022 at The Annabelle House in Osseo, a cute coffee shop with breakfast and lunch items as well. It was DELICIOUS and super fun to sample different coffee drinks in one order. This was a Halloween-themed flight in October:
Then I discovered and tried a coffee flight in Hastings at Froth & Cork, another cute coffee shop with many other menu offerings. This was a Valentine’s Day-themed coffee flight in February:
I have since been OBSESSED.
What’s a coffee flight?
You may have heard of wine or beer flights, which are smaller servings of several varieties in one order.
A coffee flight is the same thing but showcases different varieties of coffee! It’s a multi-beverage experience.
Since discovering some coffee flights in Minnesota, I went hunting for more and after finding many others doing the same thing in local Facebook groups, I decided to put together this roundup in one place!
Frugal tip: Coffee flights tend to be around $10 – $20 (at least as of 2025) but it’s usually plenty and great to share! I do notice however that iced coffee flights can be cups full of ice with a few sips of coffee, so consider asking for light or no ice if you want more coffee and therefore more bang for your buck (if it’s an option – sometimes coffee flights can’t be adjusted).
