This review I should have done a LONG time ago. I started going to this coffee shop late 2023…read more After my first visit, I realized how good of a place this was. The breakfast food is incredible, typically by Tyler-- a great cook and Chef. The breakfast burrito is out of this world. (As for it Tyler's way!) the coffee and lattes are truly very high-quality, but not overly pretentious. And if you know, then you know, when a coffee shop does it up too much and their prices are astronomical. That is not this place, they balance it perfectly by having good quality beans, roasted perfectly good quality, food, and breakfast items that makes starting your day such a treat by coming here. And lastly, the kickstart name comes from the owner's being motorcycle enthusiasts. The inside decor has a really cool and funky vibe to it with really awesome artwork and even a motorcycle inside. If you're looking for coffee, shops, and decent breakfast, do not hesitate to stop here!

Incredible coffee in an incredible space! This cafe is a…read moretotal gem in the area. They offer so many delicious coffee and non-coffee drinks. Unfortunately, I can't speak to their food, but I do hope to return and try some soon. The motorcycle themed cafe is beautifully decorated and creates a space that you can comfortably work in or hang out with friends and family. It's warm, welcoming and inviting. I tried their Cinnamon Mocha Latte with almond milk and it was perfection in a cup. The staff is also super friendly and welcoming, and happy to answer any questions you have. I highly recommend Kickstart Cafe!

I really really really really want to love this place. The food at this location when it was…read more "Sweeney's" was fabulous. I would always get the breakfast burrito with home fries, and it was literally one of the best breakfast burritos around. So that's what I decided to try. It was mediocre at best. Friends had a mix of items, including another breakfast burrito, eggs, sausage and the biscuits and gravy special. Sadly, not a great review on the biscuits and gravy. Everything else was just OK. Service was friendly, but the vibe is different there now. Maybe they just need to work out some kinks? I would really like to see them do well. I don't know if they can contact the previous Sweeney's chef and get some pointers?

He mentioned that we needed to check out Kru as he helps roasts their beans as well. We are SO happy we did! The menu is not overwhelming, not too fancy, but simple. I appreciated that the baristas working were beyond friendly and open to answering any questions that came their why. I bought a medium drip and a bag of their dark roast. The drip was not acidic, brewed perfectly. We can't wait to try the beans we bought as well!!

I wasn't sure what to expect being my first time and knowing for a fact that they run out of baked goods early. I was just happy to buy whatever they had left. THEY AGGRESSIVELY SUGGEST THAT YOU NEED TO PREORDER before you arrive. Just so you are "aware" of the atmosphere when you arrive. One of the staff members was super nice and answered my many questions. The other of the two just wasn't and informed me of the above. What's up with Saratoga businesses hiring really rude children?

First time visitor to Broadway Coffee! Somebody highly recommended this shop to me!…read more I decided to try one of their current specials, a Tokyo Fog! This drink is akin to a London Fog latte but is made with Matcha, Earl Grey, and Honey cold foam. It tastes good! My four-star rating is because I absolutely love Bergamot and wish there were a stronger Bergamot flavor. The matcha could also be more strongly flavored. I ordered an iced Tokyo fog, and it was ready super quickly. The inside of Broadway Coffee is so unique, adorable, and inviting. Next time we visit, I want to stay to have my drink there. Looking forward to trying more of their special menu items!

I've avoided Starbucks during the strike and it hasn't been pleasant. At least I'm gathering…read moreevidence in case I wind up in a podcast debate with one of those lamestains who thinks saying "Charbucks" is a brilliant anti-capitalist quip. But if I lived in Saratoga Springs, UG seems like a worthy successor. I can't comment on their vast bagel stash - poutine and fried chicken is enough for the day - or their beverages beyond the enjoyable caramel vanilla coffee. But I can praise the infrastructure. The line looked intimidating but they kept it moving. Since my biggest gripe for non-Starbucks purveyors is the lack of a condiment bar I was impressed by the options here like simple syrup and almond and oat milk.

Always love the atmosphere and has been my favorite coffee shop for 30 years…read more Service is always wonderful, fast and efficient. Where things are frustrating is (1) the pricing for gluten free options (2) lack of gluten free options. Patrons have to get creative to accommodate a low-glycemic index diet or a gluten free diet. Almost every single soup has gluten now a days. There was a time when soups were the only gluten free option. They've raised the price of a side of grilled chicken to $8.00, which is insane for 3 oz of chicken. That equates to roughly $32 a lb for chicken. The menu says $3.15 to "add chicken" to a salad, so I'm not entirely sure what the big deal of adding it to a bowl of soup is any different? I'm paying $6.99 for a soup and a salad is $7.25. I'm happy to pick out the pasta in the soups, but to not add chicken for $3.15 as if it were a salad is a line that is frustrating. Not a fan of the salads due to the diningware they elect to put them in. The bowls are wabbly and are often filled to the gill, so people like myself who cut their salad have difficulty enjoying their salad as it falls on the table more than staying in the bowl. Giving an honest review in hopes that ownership will take this into consideration. Finding myself coming here less as it gives me anxiety coming and trying to think of what I can actually eat.

Whitman's Brewery was exactly what we needed after a hectic morning and then some. From the moment…read morewe walked in, the vibe felt easy, casual, and welcoming. It's a seat yourself, order at the bar kind of place, which honestly worked perfectly and kept things moving without feeling rushed. We took full advantage of happy hour and ordered the BBQ chips with caramelized onion dip, Detroit pepperoni pizza, shrimp, three sliders, a side of fries, plus a beer and a margarita. And let me just say this was one of those orders where everything hits. The shrimp were perfectly fried, crispy on the outside and tender inside. The Detroit pizza had a standout crust that alone is worth coming back for. Even the fries held their own, which is saying something. The prices for happy hour are almost too good for how good the food is, and nothing felt like a "small plate" afterthought. Every dish came out hot, fresh, and clearly made with care. Even without traditional table service, the bartender was incredibly attentive and made sure we were taken care of from start to finish. We never once felt like we were missing anything. Whitman's is the kind of place you stumble into once and immediately add to your regular rotation. Great food, great value, great energy. We'll definitely be back.

The music, all the art on the walls and overall vibe was very fun and family-friendly. The staff was friendly and upbeat. We ordered a couple of drinks; the Gangster Scientist (a beer my husband was very pleased with!) and a Hibiscus Paloma which I thought was very good as well. For food we got the Smash Burger and the Chicken Sandwich! Both which came with fries. We both rate the fries 10/10!! Battered, seasoned and crispy pretty much perfectly. The burger was delicious, although pretty messy (that's good or bad depending on opinion lol) The chicken sandwich had great flavor, but I thought could have used more sauce as it felt kind of dry. I give it a 7/10, it was good but I probably wouldn't order it again and try something else. But overall we were very pleased with our experience and we can't wait to go there again!

What an incredible spot! I visited on a Saturday afternoon…read morefor lunch and was blown away with their dedication to homemade, fresh, made in house food. For starters, I ordered the mozzarella sticks with both Melba and marinara sauces. They were HUGE and so cheesy. They definitely hit the spot! For lunch, I ordered the Chic's Dream - a Thanksgiving sandwich with cornbread stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy and turkey. It was divine! Everything on it was incredible, including the bread. I can't recommend Sweet Lou's enough! It feels like you're eating at a family member's house and your treated that way by the staff. Go as soon as you can!
