Kickstand Cafe - Arlington

Located right on the bike path in Arlington, this restaurant offers plenty of shaded outdoor seating. They serve a variety of baked goods, breakfast sandwiches, smoothies, and hot drinks. The food is solid and reasonably priced.

This cafe checks all the boxes with their excellent coffee and drinks (including many non-dairy options), a wide variety of food and snacks to satisfy different preferences and appetites, a community-building atmosphere that offers a gathering place for people and hosts events, and a proactive approach to customer service.

This restaurant is the vibrant hub of Arlington, where locals gather to socialize, work on their writing, or simply enjoy the warm company of the friendly staff. Even if you're not a fan of city life, you'll still find something to love here. From the delicious pastries from the Danish bakery to the hearty and flavorful Vietnamese fresh rolls with peanut sauce, as well as salads, sandwiches (try the unique beet reuben), cold and hot drinks, and even dog biscuits for your furry companions, this place has something for everyone. They also have a variety of cycling bikes available to support their guests. Whether you're stopping by on your way to the nearby Minuteman trail or just crossing the busy Ave/Pleasant St. intersection, why not treat yourself to an icy tea, chai latte, dirty espresso, sticky bun, French lentil salad, or lemon ginger scone while you're at it?

We came for a private event and enjoyed the sunny terrace and delicious catering. the more lemons are the best I ever had!

Since I’m moving in December, I came by this cafe for last brunch. Love the food. It’s right by minuteman bike path. Perfect place to take a break. I will miss it.
