I was looking for a vegan breakfast spot, and this place did not disappoint! It's great for vegans and the people who love them because many items on their menu can be made both ways. I had the vegan breakfast wrap and a vegan peanut banana muffin. Both were delicious. Bonus points for the great service and super chill environment. The baristas were really personable, and many of the customers seemed to be regulars, which contributed to the friendly atmosphere. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town! read more

Cute little shop. Friendly owners. Very decent iced chai. . Breakfast sandwich was good but could have used another egg.

Delicious breakfast wrap - whole wheat wrap with egg cheese red onion spinach tomato. It was delicious!

Delicious coffee (flavored beans not just syrup). Our breakfast sandwiches were delicious. We decided to stop by on a whim and are so glad we did! read more

Love that they have vegan options! We have been looking for a new breakfast/lunch place that has vegan options especially since the common Bond closed and we're happy to have found this spot! We've only tried their breakfast options which were good but look forward to trying their vegan lunch options soon! read more

Amazing and Friendly Place! The Owner, Stephanie, has created a friendly atmosphere and cafe experience like no other. She is here 6 days a week, serving customers, which demonstrates her commitment in making Kickstart a quality place to patron. If I can give Charlie and Amanda, (and Stephanie) 6 Stars for quality cooking I would. Julia, Casandra, and their resident ice hockey star Molly are great too! They have a great Menu but will customize when asked. My Favorite is the Mrs. 'T'. The Breakfast Sandwiches and Omelets are Terrific and on the healthy side! Their pastries are home made and fresh because they "fly off" the shelves. Their Coffees are great. They treat their customers like friends. They open at 6am too, which works perfect for my schedule! I can't say enough about this place!! And, a shout out to one of their best and friendly Customer, Barbara! read more

I love kickstart Cafe, its such a cute easy spot to pick something up quick or sit in and stay. They're overnight oats are really nice, i like the pineapple chunks. There's a good number of vegan/vegetarian options too, the smokehouse sandwich is my favorite. Staff is helpful. read more

Favorite local coffee shop! I love the vegan parfait here it's my go to, I'm not vegan but it looked so good I gave it a try and I'm obsessed. The breakfast sandwiches are great too. Cute inside we often eat in and drink our coffee at the counter. read more

Immediately greeted by a friendly employee upon entering. We ordered a sandwich and two smoothies. Everything was made quickly even as the employees talked with their regular customers. The Mr T sandwich was amazing! Our smoothies were delicious as well. Our only suggestion is to get bigger straws for the smoothies! Overall, loved the friendly and welcoming atmosphere, quick service, and tasty food and drinks! read more

Great location, super friendly staff, decent coffee. The coffee prices are quite aggressive though. I personally wouldn't return for that reason. It could easily be a 5 star place for me if the prices were on par with other places read more

LOVED THIS PLACE!!! We found ourselves in Shelton and in need of lunch. This spot was such an amazing find! It was cozy and we picked a nice high top table by the front window. We ordered the Goddess Glow Smoothie, Mrs Ts Roast Beef Sandwich and a dairy/gluten free strawberry parfait. Having diet restrictions makes eating out hard so I can't tell you how much I enjoyed having options to pick from! The parfait was yummy! The smoothie was noted as one of the best my partner ever had and he also raved about his sandwich. The service was super friendly and prices were reasonable. I only wish that I lived closer to this place!! read more

Food is ok and drinks are ok too. Food is very basic wish it was either larger in size or came with a side or more flavorful.

Love this place! Definitely meets the in between of what Shelton needed. Healthy food options , with good coffee options as well. They have breakfast and lunch options and the baked goods are house made daily! Prices are extremely reasonable and they have vegan options! Definitely one of my favorite places that has newly opened in Shelton read more

Stopped in so I could try the new coffee shop. I got a medium black coffee. The coffee is good, not great. What surprised me was that she charged me $4.03. I think it will be hard to compete with two other coffee shops nearby. read more

I LOVE this place. The staff and the regular customers are the best. It's a small town breakfast café where you can sit down and have great coffee (their cold brew is the best in Shelton's downtown area), great food, and even better conversation. There's a lot of competition around, but this place is definitely worth your business. Super cute mugs and beautiful locally-made candles are usually for sale, too! read more

Excellent breakfast all freshly made. Friendly staff great service. We'll be taking home some treats for later.

Amazing food, great vibe, patient and chill staff. Would definitely come back, great date spot!

cute little shop downtown. super friendly staff as soon as you walk in. lots of vegan/vegetarian options as well. i had the mocha joe with almond milk and it was very good. my boyfriend had the new englander smoothie and it was super watered down and had little flavor. he also got a bacon egg and cheese on a brioche bun. the bacon wasnt crispy at all. but he said besides the bacon and smoothie he enjoyed the little shop. read more
