Delicious food/desserts & great service!

Excellent flavor! I’m impressed, and that’s rare!I got the eggplant panini and cinnamon roll.Well and appropriately seasoned panini, I felt like I was eating real food made by a real person: the flavor really shone.The cinnamon roll was *thankfully* not overbearing in sweetness! It had a pleasing balance of crisped outer layer and warm moist interior without being doughey! It wasn’t drowned in icing, and the icing was rich and smooth with no aftertaste-bitterness that sometimes creeps in with some icings! The Abbey’s cinnamon roll is SO close to my idea of the “ideal cinnamon roll,” I have no idea what could possibly make it even better.Thanks for good food!

Great service. Good music. Great meeting place. Has private meeting room. Yummy menu. Yummy coffee menu. Great location.

Amazing food! Such nice staff, really good shakes and dessert too. I love how they have a bookshelf, board games, and music playing all the time!

This place is a dream! Great food, great coffee, liquor for those who want. Quiet atmosphere perfect for studying, munching, or gathering.

I love hidden gems. And if youre in Belleville or the Metro East looking for a coffee and sandwich shop, this is the place. I prefer supporting small businesses like these vs big corporations. Great place to relax, hangout with friends, business meeting ... I even saw a couple of folks conducting hiring interviews. Very spacious inside.

Great environment and coffee... so-so on observing COVID safe practices right now.

Really nice, great food, pretty patio. Everyone was wearing a mask! Let me bring my cat out

Great sandwiches and good coffee. Love the comfortable setting and the patio.

Very nice. Good coffee.

Nice place to visit with friends, work, study, or just have a good cup of crafted coffee. Relaxed atmosphere with tables, couches and chairs.

I enjoyed the food and atmosphere. I like the choice of indoor, or outdoor areas. The outside patio was very nice.

The frittata is amazing. Cooked perfectly, packed with cheese and sausage. Amazingly fresh and not overly sweet cinnamon roll. A delicious chai latte with one pump of vanilla was devoured by my children after asking to taste my drink. The breakfast panini was not my favorite so next time Ill just get 2 toes off frittatas.

Great food! Amazing lunch specials and daily menu items and their coffee/tea is AMAZING.

The coffee is good. I order the lox on a croissant. Its delicious.

Did the drive thru but anxious about visiting their dining room in the future.

Good food, nice people, good service. BLT is excellent and so is club sandwich.

The Abbey is always a wonderful place to meet and the food is very good.

Nice place to drink coffee, much better than Starbucks.

Great place to relax with friends!

Great cozy place, somewhere between a Starbucks and Panera. Great atmosphere and decor. No fries but good homemade chips.

First time inside, I usually do the drive thru. Nice place, great staff and good prices!!

Let me start off by saying I was a thru and thru Starbucks girl before visiting here! I always saw it but never stopped, finally, I decided to, and I’m so glad I did!! The inside is absolutely adorable, and the employees are beyond nice. I cannot remember her name but there is a pretty blonde barista who helped me make a decision on what to get for my first time in! She was delightful and so funny! I will definitely be a returning customer !

Service and taste is always great, the prices are a little steep for sandwiches with chips. But still a great place!

Nice place for breakfast and coffee. Friendly staff. Very inviting atmosphere where youll always know someone.

Awesome atmosphere. It is a wonderful place to come and do business or relax and read a book. Reasonable prices on everything. I would highly recommend this business to others.

Everything is perfect from here. Except their Smoothies. horrible. I never asked for a Milkshake.

Had to call them to get them to unlock the door ten minutes after they were supposed to be open. Otherwise, it is a nice place to get a cup of coffee and everyone is nice.

Great coffee, atmosphere and vibe. They normally have live music and they also serve alcohol! Best local coffee joint in my opinion!

One of my favorite places to go for coffee (and food when dining is open)

Great menu and good coffee!

Awesome. Great menu. Good coffee. Nice wine selection. Comfy atmosphere. Music Thu and Fri. I have been looking for a pla e like this since I moved back here last year.

Came in for a quick drink, been here for 20 mins and no one has either greeted or asked me if I wanted anything. Came in and sat down at the bar and been passed up by every employee working out front at least 3 times, and I’m the only one sitting at the bar. Getting up to leave now as no one seems interested in service in this place; won’t be coming back!

I really did enjoy this place, we had a birthday celebration for myself here. However, when we came in, the atmosphere was really nice, music was at a perfect level and the band that was playing was incredible. They even incorporated the crowd... which for me is a nice plus to the already fantastic tasting food. Will return in the future!

Our knitting group met here and we had the best experience. We all ordered coffee, lunch, and sweets. The bacon sandwich is to die for. The had no problem with us taking a big table and hanging out for a few hours. The atmosphere is very friendly and the staff was inviting. Our group will be meeting here again.

Really good food and vibe! The coffee is great too. Staff seems to be a touch slow with service but are super friendly. The patio is my favorite and it’s probably the best iced tea I’ve ever had! I’d say if you’re in the mood for a good sandwich and a low-key vibe...this is the place.

The Abbey is a great place, overall but last night I met their dishwasher, Kenny. I dont know what kind of money he makes, but he deserves a raise 😁. He really made an impression with me, as he was so kind, realistic, and had lovely goals for his life. He was very professional and was a great conversationalist. He dresses better than a professional golfer, which is nice for any business casual role but is above and beyond for his role. Kenny behaved grateful for his job and colleagues, and Im sure they treat him with the same respect as thats what he deserves. It was an immense pleasure to meet this gentleman and I hope the best for his future!

Great coffee and such good food. About the same price as standard coffee franchises. They do have limited hours which some weeks is disappointing. Cozy and friendly atmosphere.

A great place to get away thats not far from home a place where my neighbor and I go for girl time to catch up from the work week to relax in front of the fireplace and watching other enjoy each others company 😊 and smiling faces it is just a all out wonderful atmosphere to be part of. I love it and I think you will also.

Visited the Abbey for the first time and definitely plan to go back! Very clean, open area with a very friendly staff. Not to mention the great Latte. Would really love to see a bullet-proof type of coffee offered though.

Weve been here 3 times so far: breakfast, just for caffeinated drinks, and lunch. They are always fantastic. The food is delicious. The drinks are warm and tasty. The place is beautiful. And the staff is friendly. We havent tried their coffee liqueurs yet, but hope to in the near future. If youre looking for a light breakfast or tasty lunch in a relaxed setting, this is the place!

Whomever is answering your phones is going to drive your business away. they are rude and have short patience . I have never come to your establishment before so I decided to call in, I asked how much is your veggie sandwich?response: same as all the other sandwiches.then I could hear them ask someone and they came back with a responseI also had to call back and ask does anything come with your sandwiches I got a response that time but before I could say ok Id like to place an order they HUNG UPtheir tone was rude and made me not even want to try it because if someone is rude over the phone I certainly dont want them preparing nor serving me foodI understand maybe it might be lunch rush but thats still NO EXCUSE you still need to be courteous and professional ad well as patient with your customersi mean really. is it a cafe or a slop house?

I havent been in Belleville in years, so to find the Abbey for a cup of coffee was absolutely fantastic! The customer service was excellent. The coffee was was good and the food was decent. However considering the other options on the Main Street, meaning fast food... The Abbey definitely gets five stars!

Clean and very good atmosphere. The food is very good and reasonably priced. Parking can be a challenge so know this before you plan to meet.someone there. Really good coffee.

Really cute atmosphere! Went on a first date here, great choice.. Enough seating in the inside or outside around the large fire-pit where they have live music. Really cute ;)Great options for sweets, coffee and great evening ! Great wine selection as well.

Fantastic food and excellent service. Great place.

Met a client here to go over some documents and Im so glad she recommended this place. The coffee and muffin were delicious. The staff was helpful. Excited to go back when they have live music.

Friendly, warm, and inviting. Good food and hot coffee. Very relaxing and enjoyable.I know about the guy Leslie mentions, and yes, he is a bit stand-offish. Friendly to some people but not me. I overlook him. I have a good rapport with the rest of the crew but there is definitely somewhat of a clique. I create my own enjoyment and find the overall environment comfortable. Ive never been treated negatively but actual table service could use improvement. Not a waiter/waitress model. More help yourself.

We order breakfast every other Sunday 🥰

Always great and friendly service, delicious food and coffee, and pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend the Jim’s Egg Bake Panini.

Tasty breakfast sandwich, good coffee, pleasant young lady who took my order... a good experience... first time here.

Music and food was great. Relaxed atmosphere

Great atmosphere. Great place to meet. Good food. Good coffee shop, not amazing. Compare to Starbucks quality. No pour-over.

Staff super nice. .came in around 9 30 PM Fri evening. Only problem....music way way way too loud.....rather ridiculous. Why? It was impossible to carry on a conversation anywhere in establishment except in private room with door closed. Staff allowed us to do that.

Old salt union band was great! Good selection of beer. Nice place!

Cool spot in Belleville for coffee, and meeting with friends. The staff here is really friendly and they are pretty quick. They have live music here as well.

Wonderful place to meet up with both my parents and my daughter, home from college. Enjoyed drinks, small plate, and especially the live music. Great atmosphere.

I’ve been here several times and have always found their coffee good. The last few times I’ve had food here have been a different story. I had lunch there yesterday at noon and that will be my last visit.I noticed black, moldy specs in our water so my husband went to return the glasses and ask for new water. When he explained to the person at the register what the problem was she insisted that all the water is filtered and that nothing was wrong with it. As this discussion is taking place, another server grabs those two glasses and takes them to a table that is waiting for their food! We had to buy bottled water.I ordered a spinach salad and paid $2 extra for chicken. The “chicken” was the frozen chicken product that you buy that’s shaped like chicken breast and colored up with grill marks. Super disappointing considering the salad had walnuts, blue cheese, and bacon on it. My husband had a frittata. For a salad and a small frittata I paid $20. On our way home we were struck with intense GI upset.I tried so hard to love this place because it’s local and unique. I’ll be getting lunch at Bread Co.

I love their gelatto and the food was good too! It is a nice little atmosphere and they play music certain nights of the week.

Love this lil place!! Staff is so friendly.. they have a drive up window which h is much appreciated when your on the run and need that cup of coffee!!

Beautiful place. Very comfortable. I had the fig and brie panini and it was delicious.

Had a lot of fun, they served corned beef and cabbage, live band, singing.

Nice looking place. Cute menu. Portion sizes are SMALL!! half a salad comes in a tiny bowl that they use for cups of soup. Clam chowder went from being creamy to being broke down and watery before I finished eating it(and i did not because of this). The chicken that you can add to salads is that precooked sliced processed chicken you can buy in a bag at the store-NOT what I was expecting(gross)Had a hair in my salad I discovered mid bite(love flossing my hair with someones hair while chewing). Very discreetly informed the cashier that I had the unfortunate luck of finding a hair in my food while chewing- Had the hair on the side of the plate for her to see. She takes the plate, goes in back and comes out to my table a couple minutes later. Instead of asking how to rectify the situation she states no one in the back has that color of hair, Then was like do you want another salad. It was like she was accusing me of planting the hair in my salad.

Grabbed a sandwich from here before class tonight and enjoyed it up until half way through the sandwich I started to chew a hair...ew...spoke to a gentleman who worked there about it and he claimed he was the only one in the kitchen and his hair isnt that long. He apologized and that was it. He didnt offer to remake my sandwich, offer me something different, or comp my meal. If this is how you treat people ...I wont be back.Read another review similar to mine. Seems like this is a trend at The Abbey!

My chiropractor recommended this place to me and Im so glad he did! The food was absolutely delicious and it was healthy. I will definitely be going back again!!

This place is amazing. I bought a large cafe latte and blue berry muffin and the total cost was 8.00. Very easy to access and only 5 or so Minutes from Memorial Hosp. Great place to hang out.

Abbey has great coffee. I enjoyed it as much as my husband, son and brother in law did

Delicious coffee made to order. This is a very fancy coffee shop, quaint, with comfortable seating for relaxing. A great place to work or hang with a friend. They serve pastries and lunch.

Excellent sandwiches, Nice atmosphere!

Very good drinks and food. The live music on the patio is fun during the warmer months and it is nice to site by the fireplace inside during the winter. Great place to study, read, work, drink coffee, listen to good music, eat good food, and be merry.

Their hours are very limited for whatever reason. They could be getting more business from customers trying to patronize small local businesses if they were open longer.

Ok - More upscale menu than I expected. Our first visit and we will return.

Love this place! Every coffee I get here is great! The ladies definitely know what they are doing when it comes to making an excellent coffee. Great gelato, sandwiches and soups. Maybe a little expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Gr8 place to meet. I had meetings here on several occasions. Nice staff and rooms are great. I have eaten here once or twice

This place is fricking amazing and its such an awesome place to sit down drink your coffee and do your homework. The owners are friendly and welcome you any time. Ill for sure be back soon!!!

Probably the premier coffee shop in the Metro East area. Positives: above average coffee, spacious tables inside, great patio area outside, full service bar, decent food, small stage for local musicians on Thursday and Friday. Cozy atmosphere with large fireplace. Not any significant cons other than small parking area without egress.

Every time I eat there the food is outstanding! I have always enjoyed each new item I try. The service is prompt and friendly. Atmosphere is very comfortable and fun!

Perfect venue for a casual business meeting with an associate. Great coffee offerings, tasty food, plenty of space, and very friendly baristas!

Delicious as always! It bothers me when drive through window takes precedence over the customer whos a t the counter inside before that car pulled up 🤔

Excellent environment! Excellent service! Excellent coffee!!! You cant go wrong in this place!!

Such a cute place, and food is delicious. We love going on Thursdays for dinner. The first time we went, the special was sea scallops which were phenomenal.

Nice setting, but a bit pricey. Very good food

Tasty soups, salads, and drinks. A nice place to have a casual lunch.

Wow! Just sat at the bar for 5 minutes in an empty store and passed 4 times by an employee offering no assistance. Way different when the “boys” aren’t at work

Always friendly with great food!!

Great ambiance. Good choice selection in food. Little expensive. Great staff!

Staff is very friendly and the food is good.

Great food, great gelato, great music.... Thursday is song writer night.

Very pleasant atmosphere. Great service. Excellent food.

Great and very relaxing. I come here everytime I come to town. Hard to find a great tuna melt! And they hv a great melt. And very good coffee.

We went to the Abbey to the band Raw Earth. Great atmosphere and delicious reasonably priced sandwiches made a wonderful experience.

Much more than a coffee shop. Like Bread Co, but better. Wonderful soups, sandwiches, salads and baked goods.

Food was wonderful, wonderful service and I cant say enough good things about the chai tea. So yummy!

One of my favorites places. Great atmosphere, food, and drinks. The servers and aervice is awesome!

Just love the staff and atmosphere!

Very nice place for coffee and lighter menu. Local ownership and a great place for meetings on the west end.

Great environment for our 40th class reunion!

Love the sweet louis salad and the lobster bisque they had today. Sometimes they have a wonderful mushrooms soup.

Service was awesome. Drive thru was speedy and polite. Coffee a bit to strong for me. Lol, but i managed to get through it. One of the better coffee shops Ive been to. Ill be back to this establishment.

Food is good, service is friendly however extremely slow. If you are in a hurry consider another place. Mens bathroom is filthy and has not been cleaned in weeks.
