Lots of gluten free option, amazing breakfast and coffee. This is by far one of the best coffees I've ever had, please get the vanilla latte

Great chicken salad. I am also happy that pet dogs are no longer permitted inside. As a dog lover, I understand wanting to bring your family with you everywhere. As a human with dog allergies, I appreciate being able to limit my exposure to animals in indoor spaces. Tough call to make.

Nice spot for a coffee or sandwich. My go to is the mozzarella, tomato and pesto panini. There’s also a selection of baked goods. Easy access from the Minuteman Bikeway if you ‘re riding. Small parking area if you’re driving, or park on the street.

What a great place with a really unique and pleasant vibe. I wish the food tasted better - my bagel felt like it was days old, and the soup was cold and they had no way to reheat it. I used to come here anyway because they allowed dogs, but some silly human complained and now I don't see enough appeal to go here.

Food was delicious, atmosphere was good, staff was friendly, but my girlfriend has been cursed to never receive bacon when ordering it on a breakfast sandwich

Super friendly and kind staff. Food is good and it's a comfortable atmosphere to chill, chat with people, work a bit, and enjoy the sunshine

One of my favorite coffee houses in the world; fuses together so many concepts (coffee, dining, co-working, live music/poetry slams, community center, solo seating, round tables, long tables, counter stools) all in a way that just fits and works together. Perfect harmony

Great coffee, love their BLT and the portobello sandwich, but everything here is pretty great. Great spots for weekend bikers to take a break and have a snack.

Nice location near the bike path in Arlington center. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Food was good. I went a few times and they were closed so check the hours. It can get crowded and harder to get a table but overall it's a nice place in a convenient location.

Kickstand reminds me of a 90s era coffee house in the absolute best most nostalgic way possible. Airy, plenty of seating inside and out, they offer a wide variety of beverages and tasty food for breakfast or lunch (or both!). Conveniently located on Mass Ave and a decent amount of parking.

We love Kickstand's food, atmosphere, drinks, vibe, etc. and have been going there for years. But OMG do NOT go there if you are in a hurry. Especially on weekends, they can be s l o w, yet busy, frenzied, make mistakes, etc. We just waited for ... 30 minutes? for two panini, in part because they made a mistake on one of them (did not know about this until I enquired after I'd been waiting for 25 minutes). And it turns out that I also got someone else's drink, which ?? may have been dairy instead of the non-dairy that I requested.

The tea that I ordered was scalding hot. I picked it up with my left-hand and the lid came off. It burned my hand really badly. I think they should warn people about the temperature of the tea or offer ice to put into it
Hip vibe with great beverage and food choices.
