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!

A friend roped me into coming here for a well-made espresso. I was intrigued by the merch, the tall…read morewindows, and the staff, which enthusiastically recommended the spicy mocha (cayenne, cinnamon, mocha syrup). After we ordered our drinks, we got a number and the drinks eventually arrived at our table. I have to say, I wanted more. The espresso didn't have much profile to it, and worse, the cocoa wasn't mixed in, so my first few sips were totally not sweet. After stirring it myself, I got the full experience. I've definitely had better spicy mochas, usually sold to me as Mexican hot chocolate - the seasoning shouldn't be gingerly applied; it should really be over the top. We bused our own drinkware, but points for reusable cups. On a Sunday morning, perhaps 7-8 patrons were already there, and the seating was 1/3 taken.

Lovely Pastry shop in Winchester, with some more offerings…read more This place is one part pastry shop, one part charcuterie shop, one part wine shop and one part European market. It's open and airy. They have seating in the back. The pastries were so good. Looking forward to trying more stuff there. They also have coffee and specialty drinks they make. The cheese and meat area is a separate counter with all your charcuterie needs. The cheeses looked so good. There are meats as well. Beyond that is a little nook of wine and spirits. The front of the store in like a little European market. They have oils and candies and sauces. This place is great for pastry but I would come before hosting a party to get wine, charcuterie and pastry all in one place. Love everything about this place. Service was awesome. Staff so friendly.
