Kickstaart Café is a hidden gem! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the staff is genuinely friendly, and every item we tried was fresh and delicious. The café has a creative, community-focused vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. Whether you're stopping in for coffee, a meal, or one of their unique food experiences, it's always a treat. Highly recommend visiting if you're in Carmel! read more

Absolutely love this space!!! It seems to go on forever. So much seating, perfect for any size group big or small. Ample parking since it's in a strip mall area. Saw they also do an open mic on the weekends which is pretty fun. If I was in the vicinity on the regular could picture so much randomness going down here! Craft nights, book club, trinket meetups, all the things. Went in thru Too Good To Go. They have an all day breakfast sandwich or burger selection that comes with a Spanish latte. Everything is made to order. So everything was FRESH! Ordered one of each and they were pretty tasty! The burgers are halal which is something you look for. Service was prompt and pleasant. Would not hesitate to visit again next time I am in town. read more

The vibe here felt like it was focused on the Kickstart coffee **& MORE** Vibe is different than what I expected... I thought it was a coffee shop but they have meals served the whole day. Maybe Panera/hotel lobby kinda atmosphere? But with hip hop music in the background There was a family with a baby, one student, one worker, and a group of people hanging out playing video games with the tv in the back with the sound on too, so a lot of sounds to hear when I was here Fries 8/10 It was only $2.50 with their kickstart sauce which is thick mayo based sauce with maybe pickle juice or vinegar in it? I was surprised how thick the sauce was Dark chocolate latte 7/10 I like the subtle hint of bitterness in the dark chocolate but average on espresso flavor TLDR: would come back once more to try burger and gochujang wings, prob would not come back for coffee and study bc of vibes read more

We visited Kickstarrt coffee and more basis very high reviews, we were a group of 8 adults and 4 kids. First off, great location between Carmel, Noblesville and fishers. Second, super spacious and great vibes. There's a massive pool table and the place hosts music nights. Now to the main point, the food my beef smashburger was a banger - smoky, juicy and so delicious. I normally don't enjoy fries but the fries were so delicious I wolfed down every bite of it. I also tried the chicken wings which were not dripping in sauce, and had the right amount of sauce on it. Overall I really enjoyed the atmosphere and food and I will definitely be back!!! read more

Food that we had here was fantastic. We came for the halwa puri thats offered all weekend and were not disappointed! The puri was freshly made, not too oily, and the perfectly airy crisp that makes this bread heavenly. The halwa was a nice lightly sweetened (which I prefer) and balanced so well with the chana (chickpea) and aloo (potato) gravies. They were all very well flavored and very satisfying for those who love halwa puri. The owner, who took our order, also recommended the freshly made goat briyani and it did not disappoint. The rice was perfectly fluffy and goat was super tender - this dish was very comforting and delicious. Lots of care went into crafting the dishes. Ambiance here is more modern/hip coffee shop vibes with mostly arm chairs/couches. If they had some board games, it could be a great place to gather and spend a few hours with friends. You order food/drinks at the counter and then food is brought out to you. Despite the casual atmosphere, they charge sit down restaurant prices that I felt were a little higher than I would've expected - though not high enough to deter me from coming. Their friendliness is top notch but service had some hiccups that hopefully will resolve with more time and experience. I hope the community gives this place a chance because there's a lot of great potential in this business! read more

It's a nice big space, but other than that, a bit of a disaster. All coffees are one size, which is micro size. Took 15 minutes for two tiny coffees and two pastries, with literally an empty store except for us. My blueberry muffin had zero blueberries. So, for those reasons, I'm out. read more

do not recommend. for starters, smelled like ass in there. unfortunately i didn't bring my laptop charger, so I had to stay to finish my work and finish it quick. They do a $1 up charge for any non-cash transaction. Lady at the counter didn't know how to process a card transaction. She then told us the coffee machine wasn't up yet, even tho they'd been open for half an hour already. So we waited 20 mins just for her to bring us hot drinks when we asked for iced. Another 10 mins to get the right drinks. Cherry on top was trying to use the one available bathroom, just to find out a worker was hiding in there the entire time.... I wish I was joking. read more

Kickstarrt is such a nice place to go to. The ambience is very welcoming with comfortable couches and good food. Whenever I go there, I try the Crispy Chicken Burger with fries, and it's so good with the sauce. The drinks are good as well. The last I tried was, Strawberry Squeeze and I enjoyed it. I would recommend this place. Suggestion: - The speed of delivery can be improved. read more

Our Indy Coffee Club met up at Kickstarrt Coffee for some coffee and conversation to try a new place that just opened up. I was told the coffee place had just been opened for a few months, so it was interesting to see how it looked and what they offered to the customer. My first impression when I walked in was that the ambiance was gorgeous and it felt like a lounge more than a coffee shop. The luxury chairs and couches are very comfortable and nice, but for a coffee shop, it is a bit too much in my opinion. Do not get me wrong, they are a huge benefit to the ambiance and you do feel comfortable and relaxed while drinking coffee and enjoying conversations, but for this concept for a coffee shop, it did not make sense to me. I went to the counter to order a beverage and something to eat, and noticed there were not a lot of options for food. I wanted the fresh beignets with sauce, but the barista told me they were out of them, so I decided on the mini matcha beignets and an iced matcha latte. The menu was Ok, but not really impressive. Looking at the pastry display, they did look good, but not much to choose from. I asked to substitute oat milk for my iced matcha latte, but the barista told me they only had skim milk, so I choose that instead. The iced matcha latte was ok, but not the best iced matcha latte I have ever had. The matcha beignets were tasty and delicious, but not the best thing I have put in my mouth. The service was lacking big time from the barista and other staff members. They acted like they did not want to be there and did not have any smiles on their face when you address them it said hello, which gives me the impression that they do not like working there. The coffee shop is a huge space, and was completely dead when our group arrived this morning. Even though Kickstarrt has only been opened for a few months, I already get the impression that it is not going to survive unless they step up their game and offer more options for food to the customer. The coffee shop is more of an event space rather than a coffee shop atmosphere since it is so huge, so unless they plan on having events there on a regular basis, I do not see how it can attract business as a coffee shop unless they do more advertising and promotions. Overall, Kickstarrt Coffee is a nice establishment, but the food and beverages are mediocre. The service needs to improve as well. If I do end up coming back here, I would hope things change for the better than the worst. read more

We met friends here to get some coffee and chat. We met at around 1pm on a Tuesday afternoon and it was just us there. (At some point another group of 2 came in) We came in stood around for a little bit and waited for an employee to come to the counter. My husband and I ordered 1 hot caramel latte with almond milk and 1 iced caramel latte (4pumps caramel). Our friends got 2 hot chai lattes with oat milk. Well we waited for almost 15min before we got our drinks. They were horrible. I am pretty sure the oat and almond milks were just water. We kinda tried each other's drinks to be sure we weren't crazy. The chai was not giving the good yummy spice of chai. My caramel latte - NO caramel. No sweetness at all. No one finished their drink and we ended up throwing them away. We stayed for about an hour and a half chatting and enjoying the atmosphere. It was nice and clean.. we were nervous to try the food. So we left and grabbed lunch at some other place. read more

I hate to leave a bad review for a place we didn't get to try. Went in about 1pm today and we stood for a while waiting for someone to take our order. My husband yelled out "hello" several times and walked around trying to find an employee. We could hear someone in the back. Shame, I've been looking forward to trying it. It is so cute inside. I plan on visiting again and hope we'll get a chance to order. I would love to give it a better/edit review next time. read more

Umm where do I start... first we ordered our food thinking it would be out pretty quick since it looked pretty similar to like a Starbucks. But I was way wrong. We waited for well over an hour for our food to come out, and tell me why the food came out in waves. None of the food was what we ordered. Half of our party never even received their food. We had to ask multiple times if the food was all out... And why did the coffees come out last? It took an hour for the coffees to come out! If I would've know the service was gonna be this bad I would have never left a tip! This has got to be the worst service I've ever received at any type of restaurant. Also, whenever we asked where our food was, they just said "we're working on it". Again why did it take over an our for 5 meals to come out?! The only thing I have to say that was good about the place is it did have really good fries. read more

The smash burger was amazing!! Bread was tasty and soft. Burger itself was so flavorful. Definitely clutch spot!

We hosted our baby shower at Kickk Start Cafe, and it was a wonderful success. Our group of around 30 guests had a fantastic time. Everyone loved the ambience as well as the food. The Lucknowi chicken biryani, chicken wings, malai kofta, and butter chicken were the highlights of the buffet. The chef did an excellent job preserving the authenticity and charm of each dish while delivering rich, traditional Indian flavors. Hats off to the entire team for their effort--keep up the great work! read more

Food was ok. Too pricey. Service was awful. Ambience was the artic. No heat. Having to wait 30+ minutes in the freezing cold was very uncomfortable. I would never sit there to eat. Cashier was in a winter coat. ‍ read more

The staff was incredibly friendly! The food was incredible! The place was very clean and very cozy! We will be coming back.

They only have one size for their coffee and it's the equivalent to a Starbucks tall at a grande price. I ordered a blueberry muffin and it had zero blueberries in it. There are so many other coffee shops around and all much better than this one! read more

Stopped in for dinner. Chicken tender basket, smash burger, and Korean wings. All were excellent for the price! Friendly staff, and very nice sitting area with lots of space. Will definitely make this a weekly visit for dinner fare, as well as future coffee and breakfast stops that all looked delicious. read more

The place was essentially empty but it took almost 20 minutes to get two cappuccinos and a couple of baked goods from the case. Coffee was served in paper cups and baked goods had a weird taste (walnut cake and apple muffin). I don't recommend this -- much better coffeehouse throughout the area. read more

well, I made the mistake of giving cashier a 15% tip based on the automatic options that appear as your transaction is taking place on the point of sale system. looks like that money is all funneling up to owners when that's indeed her money. she was the one giving a nice smile and great service so no one deserves that tip but her. but I made sure to ask afterwards which was a mistake instead of before. but just so everybody knows every time they hit a tip on the point of sale system, somebody who doesn't deserve it is getting that tip. so for that reason alone this place is trash. I cannot stand greedy owners read more
