The staff is helpful and makes good recommendations. The ambiance is cozy but it can get pretty crowded. They hang up paintings, I believe by Arlington residents and they have shelves in the front featuring a variety of items also made by residents. The only thing that I don't love is the prices, things can add up really quickly so you have to be mindful of what you get

I ordered the iced strawberry matcha latte which was absolutely delicious. They did have a pastry case but I didn't order one.

I really love biking and always pass by Kickstand on my journeys down the minuteman. I knew that I…read morehad to come visit one day just for Kickstand and I finally was able to do it when the crowd died down for the colder months. Unfortunately, I don't think it was worth the hype. I think great concept, but execution wasn't quite there. And maybe I just got unlikely with the item I ordered. I got the breakfast wrap which was an assortment of roasted veggies (think squash, broccoli, eggs) in the wrap. This was certainly unorthodox, but I wasn't opposed to it. I didn't really read much into it so I kind of was expecting a breakfast burrito, but got a pleasant surprise since I do like roasted veggies as well. The problem is that there was not much flavor to it and it left a lot to be desired. I think they could have done a lot more with it. Despite being underwhelmed, I will probably come here again and try something else. I just can't when their spot on the minute man is perfect and they are willing to push the envelope on breakfast wraps. So I'm hoping to up this rating one day!

The special was perfect.. 10$ for large coffee and half a banh mi! The Vietnamese coffee was good, didn't blow me away, the banh mi was fine. Very dry and not nearly enough toppings.

Essentially half coffee shop, half art gallery, Triangle is the perfect spot for quiet work in an extremely sleek ambiance. The kind baristas explained that they have their own espresso label roasted by local Broadsheet roasters. They source their pastries from Revival café. The gluten-free (and at least one vegan) pastry options are in the same case as the others, just to be aware. Granola bar was great. Will totally be back!
