KickStand Kafe

Really good coffee, super convenient with the drive thru. I wanted to try «The Marley» but unfortunately they were out of white chocolate. Was a little disappointed but they offered to make it with dark chocolate and it was delicious. My girlfriend got a classic hazel nut latte and it was delicious.

Best coffee and customer service in all the land! Try the sling shot or snow bunny!!!

Will definitely be going back ! Went just before close without knowing and they were great!!! There was a family sitting with their drinks while I was walking out the door. (At 7:10 they closed at 7) and the baristas kept a smile on their faces though I’m sure they weren’t happy.

Coffee pretty good, hubs liked his blueberry muffin, breakfast burrito not so great, tasted like bacon bits instead of real bacon.

My friend and I went for the first time today 9÷6÷15 because it’s down the street from where we are staying.
When we got there, we were reading their menu trying to decide what we wanted. My friend ordered a drink that according to the menu would only come in a 12oz size, but then the girl informed me it only comes in their 20 oz size and we ordered iced, it came BURNING hot.
I ordered the Marley, which had about two layers of ice ONLY at the top. Which was very odd to receive ²⁄₃ warm coffee but ¹⁄₃ iced coffee on top.
As we are finished putting in the order, the girl goes «can we do another milk?» While holding a cup up. I said «I don’t know what drink you are asking for, I’ve never been here.» She then showed me the cup and said «this one» again, I’ve never been so I was unclear. But we finally figured it out because she explained it was for the Marley. Ok great, thanks.
It was very confusing dealing with the girl. So from now on while we are in Flagstaff, I will stick to Macy’s and my friend will stick to SB.

Yummy drinks and nice, friendly staff. Locally owned, with a drive through.

I have been coming to this coffee shop for the past 4 years and it’s one of the best in Flagstaff. The place is comfy with many chairs and couches and tables with chairs strewn throughout. It also has free wifi and you can plug your computer into a socket to charge your laptop as well.
As far as the amenities are concerned, I really enjoy the selection of tea here, and especially their Chai Latte’s. They also have a selection of burritos here which are all good. I normally spring for the chile cheese burrito, since I don’t eat chorizo.
I have enjoyed working on my short stories and scripts here countless times, and although it gets really noisy and busy in here at times, I enjoy it nonetheless.

Best Coffee in Flagstaff! Delicious food! Awesome speciality drinks! And the most delightful staff!

Excellent strong coffee. When. i ordered a refill the lady was kind of judgmental… like «hey lady, I think you’ve had enough.» Back off and give me more damn coffee. Sheesh. It was great coffee though.

KickStand Kafe is another of the Flagstaff businesses that is just awesome to visit and support because they are good at what they do, both beverage and food wise, have an outstanding location that is fun to escape to with friends on a cold snowy day for visiting and games and laughter, and they are awesome people. They participate in ArtWalk and local artist endeavors and they support their community. KSK just makes me happy.

I ordered a strong Chai latte and the girl was extremely pretentious about the mixture. then essentially brings me hot water with a dash of cinnamon.

I am not super impressed with this place. I have been there twice. First time the employees were nothing but nice, this second time the guy who took my order (beard) thought he was the coolest thing since sliced bread. I asked for a capp with soy. His response, you know the soy does not produce a lot of foam. I said, thank you I realize that but that’s ok. Just do your best to make me a damn capp with soy and make as much foam as possible. I can make plenty of foam at home on my espresso machine. Shit. His response, so you want a latte then. I said, NO, I asked for a capp. There is a difference between them and I prefer the Italian way even if it has less foam due to the soy.
Sorry kid, I know my coffee, shit I have even lived in Italy. Although I asked for a capp with Soy and a 20oz (so not Italian) do not change my order and pretend you know what you are talking about. I like my capps not Latte’s which have MORE milk.
Capps are ¹⁄₃ of each espresso/​milk/​micro-​foam. Basically a drink of 3rds.
Latte: 1 part espresso to 3 parts milk.
I like capps regardless if I am not 100% proper with it. So don’t change my order without asking.
The coffee was mediocre at best and not really HOT, it was lukewarm. My guess is all the extra milk for the Latte not properly heated to 160 °F.
Not sure I will be back due to his cocky attitude and less than fabulous personality. The soy foam in my drink had more personality than he did!
Sorry I came in to bother you with my coffee order, crazy me thought it was a coffee place. That’s ok dude, won’t happen again!!!

Too many bad experiences here! The last time i was there all 3 employees were complaining about a regular customer. I have had some pretty poor service here as well. One time I waited behind a vehicle in the drive thru for 10 minutes while they were chatting, it was obvious it was a friend. Usually they have the vehicle drive to the door if they are waiting for a big order. I finally had to drive away. I would also avoid going here during breakfast. The place reaks of burnt cheese from the toasted asiago bagels!

Staff is superb and always happy. Comfy couches, great coffee, local art and actually has some really good food. Beware, the chicken salad sandwich is addictive! They also ALWAYS support local events in the community

If you want the typical experience of Flagstaff, this is your place. Slow service, microwaved breakfast sandwiches, and the feeling that it’s an inconvenience for them to take care of you as a guest. Places like this would never make it in Phoenix.

Well, it is a simple atmosphere. Old board games, coolers with bottled beverages. Dry, flavorless scone. Dull Danish. So-​so hot chocolate. Watery chai. Lukewarm drinks.
On the bright side the employees were nice.

The coffee was good but the scones and Mac and cheese we got were inedible. I’ll eat a crappy scone but this was so dry you could choke and there was so much cinnamon in the chocolate scone that I had to spit it out. Really foul. Don’t eat the food. It’s pretty gross.

The noise level can get pretty high because the ceilings are vaulted and everyone echos in there as they try and talk about the noise being made by everyone else speaking loudly to be heard over the loudness… it’s a never ending cycle!
I would not have cared if I had headphones or wasn’t trying to focus on an online test for my classes, but I had no headphones and I was taking a test so that was sadness.
The coffee however was DELICIOUS. So good. Free wifi is also fantastic, but the coffee was seriously very, very good. Their espresso drinks were made perfectly and I was definitely impressed!

KickStand Kafe is perfect for anyone on their way to Arizona Snowbowl or the Flagstaff Nordic Center since you can’t help but pass by it. Parking is limited and it gets busy during winter mornings when there is snow on the ground. Fortunately for me, we haven’t had snow in a while and the mood is pretty mellow this morning.
From local art on the walls to leather couches to furniture branded with the Kickstand logo, this place is totally Flagstaff. They support local business, partner with the Nordic Center, and the space is big and open. Weekday mornings will typically see a bunch of business people having coffee meetings. Its proximity to one of the local high schools also means it is a favorite haunt for those students willing to venture off-​campus. My guess is that the art on the walls is mostly from high school students.
The staff is friendly, smiling, and bustling with the drive-​through as I walk in and take a seat at one of the fantastically comfortable leather chairs. Think La-​Z-​Boy. Stools and regular tables are also offered and most of those seats are cushioned as well. The music is a light hipster-​pop kind of thing going on. I don’t know the artist, but it is catchy. They keep the volume low enough that it doesn’t disturb my thoughts and no headphones are needed.
The dark roast is indeed a dark, full bodied coffee. Perhaps a little on the lighter side, but pretty tasty. — I am NOT a coffee aficionado. Just a guy writing about a coffee shop. — Though it comes in a nondescript to-​go cup that leaves a little to be desired, especially since I am not taking my beverage to-​go with me. I enjoy the various types of mugs that a lot of places will use. The cheap option works too, I guess. Not a big deal.
A small coffee will set you back $ 2.41, which puts it in the higher end of the range in town; typically I expect $ 2 or less for a small. Not a big deal for me, since I won a $ 10 gift card from The Framing Department on one of their email promos, my coffee is free!
The food/​pastry selection is pretty light today — it looks like they import their foods from local catering services and bakeries. My guess is that they are due for a delivery today or tomorrow. Foods include Breakfast burritos of several varieties, nachos, fruit & yogurt, and those tasty little sandwich-​roll-​things. They also serve Gelato — though I am not clear on where it comes from, it is pretty likely it is done somewhere in town.
The windows face mostly East, which means I can sort-​of watch the sun rise over the neighboring buildings. The place goes from completely empty to busy in about 30 seconds when a large group wanders in from the cold outside and takes over. The open layout of the space makes for excellent people watching and evesdropping, not that I would do that… ;-)
Wifi is free and the password is posted for all to see. It’s snappy — especially with just me using it. Combined with the comfortable seating, this place is absolutely a great place to kill some quality time surfing, writing, reading, whatever. There are also strategically placed power strips to keep your various devices powered up and connected. Kudos!
Overall, definitely a classic Flagstaff coffee shop and recommended.

Yummy gluten free cookies and sandwiches.
