coffee was not good; got a vanilla iced latte, iced horchata, and iced honey graham coffee. couldn’t taste the coffee in any of them and the syrups tasted very artificial. disappointed bc it’s rated so well. inside is cute though and great service.
This place doesn't miss. Went here on a whim and have been back several times, for both takeout and eat-in. Everything on the menu we've tried is amazing, and they're so friendly. They make great use of their space and we're always comfortable.

I stumbled upon this place by accident during a lunch break, and I’m so glad I did! The food was delicious on my first visit, and now on my second visit, I’m hooked on their Chai Lattes—they’re amazing.

Probably the best dirty chai I’ve had. Everyone was very friendly and as a first timer it was great to see the community they have built with their regulars!

Such a cute spot for some great food and coffee! They have a great selection of breakfast and lunch foods as well as drinks. Highly recommend checking Kickstart Cafe out if you haven’t yet.

Kickstart Cafe in Shelton, CT is a warm and welcoming mom-and-pop gem where everyone feels like family—guests greet each other by name, and the vibe is full of heart. I started with their hazelnut cream & sugar coffee, perfectly smooth and comforting, then tried the honey bee cortado—espresso blended with steamed milk, honey, and vanilla—a sweet, rich delight. The egg white omelette, packed with fresh veggies, turkey slices, and melty Swiss cheese, was served hot and bursting with flavor. The roasted home potatoes? Golden, crispy, and absolutely to die for. Stephanie and her team were so kind and attentive—truly top-notch service that made the experience even better. A must-visit spot for a cozy, satisfying meal!
Stopped in with my pup this morning for a pre-hike fuel up. A couple team members were really excited to say hi to my dog, and that makes us pet parents feel so welcome :) I was shocked to see how many vegan options they had and at an incredibly reasonable price point!!
The barista was so patient while I tried to make up my mind and offered recommendations! I wound up getting a chai latte with soy milk and the vegan breakfast sandwich with sausage. Both were DELICIOUS. The sandwich came out so quickly and if the latte weren’t so nice and hot, I would’ve chugged it.
Absolutely recommend, will definitely be back, and I hope to see a lot of success for this cute little corner cafe!

I ordered way too much food - but it was all so good! I had the monte carlo smoothie that I added espresso into, and then got the vegan omelet with vegan sausage, spinach, and salsa. The cheese was super melty, and the eggs were great. I love Just Egg. I also had a side of home fries, which had INCREDIBLE seasoning on them!

I found this café online when searching for an allergy friendly restaurant. I suffer from many food allergies and this café was very accommodating. Also to add the staff was very nice and welcoming, and it was a cool atmosphere in the café. The food was amazing as well! I usually struggle trying to find allergy friendly food, and it doesn’t always taste the best but this café was five stars!
