Great Ambience! Its so relaxed and laid-back, kind of cozy. Ive been in town a little more frequently due to work and its nice to have found a good coffee shop to stop by when Im in town. I havent been able to explore their drinks as much as Id like to but so far so good, Ive liked what Ive had. The Blue Crane hot tea is so far one of my favorites, a little ironic maybe. Service had been good and Ive had a good experience in my few visits.
The barista was so sweet! She had a great conversation with us while she made the drinks and went above and beyond, doing things for us without even needing to be asked, like taking our picture and offering us a couple bonus treats at the end of the day! Atmosphere, food, and drinks were all great too! 😁
A great place to study at! Comfy vibes & good coffee! Just what Marion needed!
For 34 years, I was not a coffee fan. The Abbey changed that.Fantastic coffee. Friendly, knowledgable baristas. Great music. Relaxed atmosphere. Delicious baked goods (their chocolate chip cookies are phenomenal). You will NOT be disappointed!
Such good coffee. Limited menu right now, but a great atmosphere along with tasty coffee makes for a must visit place.
Great coffee. Nice employees. Needs more seating please.
They have a good space next to a conservative Christian bookstore. Quiet with a lot of students.
I am currently nestled into a corner seat, watching this awesome coffee shop come to life. To my right there is a large open room with a stage. Directly ahead is the coffee bar, and a well stocked book store is to the right. I am lucky enough, that I am here on a breezy Saturday morning. The garage door is open and they have some relaxing late 70s early 80s music going. It looks like a small farmers market is setting up out in front. Honestly, every town needs a spot like this.As for the coffee, it really doesnt get any better. I followed another reviewers advice and started with a vanilla latte. Absolutely delish! I am patiently awaiting the fresh scones to bake. In the meantime, I shall enjoy my latte and read a book. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!UPDATE: Pretty sure the Orange Chocolate Chip Scone is probably one of the yummiest things Ive had in a long time!
Great spot in Marion to chill, work, study and drink great coffee. Service is always very friendly.
I know things arent normal because of Covid, but I think its ridiculous that if you want to shop in the Tree of Life store you have to go through the Abbey Coffee Shop. There was no one to assist me with finding what I wanted in the store. I wandered quite a while before I located what I wanted to purchase. Then I had to carry it over to the coffee shop to pay. It just seemed inconvenient and silly to not be able to use the door to the store and all the help was in the coffee shop.
Great place! Super cozy!!!
Great Christian hang out. Love the atmosphere. Tea is wonderful.
Its a great place to talk and have meetings with people friends and work friends.
Great coffee ❤️
Great place, Tirzah is wonderful!
A great place my friend was playing live music here. The coffee was fantastic and the owner roasts their own coffee beans. Great atmosphere and I enjoyed my time their with great hospitality and coaches. Nice cozy coffee chop which is well laid out. Alot of effort went into this coffee shop. I will be going back.
Great atmosphere great coffee! This is a very cozy and quaint place for a casual drink, meeting and study groups. Its adjacent to a bookstore and they have very comfortable chairs and couches in the main coffee bar area. Highly recommend this establishment over the local national chain coffee shop. The national chain doesnt have as comfortable seating arrangements, nor the more comfortable amount of space that Abbeys offers. Abbeys coffee and drink selections are reasonably priced so you dont feel guilty about getting an extra cup of coffee and a light snack or brunch along with it. Definitely recommend this local Marion favorite, especially to the local college students at Indiana Wesleyan University. This is a great meeting place for your study groups, clubs, fraternities or sororities, or just to hang out and socialize with your friends.
Mmmmmm... Eh.Meh.
Awesome staff in a unique coffee shop. Id highly recommend for visitors from out of town. I drink my coffee pretty plain everyday, so this makes for a good place to try new things. Big thanks to Marion and for who brought me here!
1000 things you can do with espresso/coffee and they do like 4. The variety of drinks is just awful.
Good coffee and great place to have a coffee date
This was a real neat Coffee House with attached bookstore and Open Stage venue in the other room. The Barista was very good, the coffee tasted smooth, was very presentable, and I would love to have more of it. This is a place I would definitely go back to if I was in the area. The seating was plentiful and comfortable. Outside seating was available but would be more inviting when the weather turns considerably cooler. If youre in the area and would like good tasting coffee other than the chain store variety then I would certainly give this place a try.
When I come to Indiana from Ohio, I always try to stop here. The coffee is incredible, ethically sourced and unique. The people who work there genuinely care about you and their mission. Thanks Abbey!
Always try to make a point of coming to this place when my wife and I are in Upland. They have a great atmosphere and fantastic coffee and other drinks. My wife loves the ginger soda, and they serve the best nitrogen cold brew which I have had. It is great to be there in an evening when their outdoor propane fire pit is lit up—no smoke smell but very warm and a great place for conversation. I am also impressed by the large variety of community events which they host in their space including the farmers market and networking events. Definitely worth a visit if you are ever in the area.
I always enjoy the coffee here, and a big shout out to Levi for his care and attention to the roasts.One note to keep in mind, the roasts are intentionally on the lighter side. For those that only drink darker coffee, you may be disappointed, but I would encourage you to give it a try. The lighter roasts can bring out much better fruit and citrus notes that you just wont find otherwise.
Best coffee in Marion, excellent baristas, nice atmosphere.
Best coffee place in town
A little gem I stumbled across in my travels. Great coffee, great service and a nice atmosphere. I will definitely return when Im in the area!
Best coffee in Indiana. Their whole bean coffee is excellent with a wide range of different single origin coffees. The espresso bar is traditional with a mix of modern drinks. The staff is knowledgeable and very polite.
First time visiting this place and LOVED it! The barista recommended the cortado and it was AMAZING! Will definitely be back.
Fantastic place. Great atmosphere. Excellent customer service. Management clearly takes pride in fostering a positive culture among employees.
Cool vibes and kind staff! Large open space available for rent and lots of tables for studying. On Saturdays it may be so crowded that you won’t find an open table, although there is lots and lots of seating — from couches to bar seating.
Great atmosphere and knowledgeable staff. I enjoyed the Guatemalan single-origin they roast, but the El Salvador I followed-up with was even better! Kudos to Levi for the engaging discussion. Definitely worth pedalling 3h45m to try!
Excellent coffee with their heart in the right place. Love everything about the place. Great space, designs, people, and service. Easy five star for the best specialty coffee shop thats in Marion by choice.
What a peaceful, easy feeling place. This is the art of coffee at its best. Lavender latte, honey miel and all fresh roasted beans made this so worth the detour off I-69. I even picked up the wrong drink by mistake and they graciously just made another at no charge and no scold. People were quietly chatting, studying, and experiencing the mellow tunes in this spacious hipster venue that is truly unpretentious.
Quiet space thats great for meetings and work. The coffee is great also.
Great open atmosphere with an amazing staff that know what theyre talking about. Friendly people always willing to talk. The coffee is amazing and there drips allows amaze me. 10/10, best coffee shop in Grant County.
I make this coffee shop a regular stop every time I visit my mom. I love the coffee, atmosphere, baked goods and easy access to the book store.
Great atmosphere & fantastic coffee. Good place for meetings or to work alone a bit.
Friendly staff, good music and a great space to do work or hang out. Comfy sofas, chairs & tables and lots of natural light. There is almond milk available for thise who prefer that.
I love the design on the coffee! I got a heart flower, and it was PERFECT. This place is AWESOME! They have laptops so you can do your homework, an upstairs with a bar and a sofa, a library, and a conference room!
The absolute best coffee around! Their lattes don’t compare! Plus the environment is amazing!
I absolutely LOVE Abby Coffee Shop and Roastery!! I am not even really a coffee drinker, but I love what they do there with their drinks. The baristas that work there are SO friendly and helpful, and are a true talent when it comes to their drinks. My very first time walking in, I was treated like a regular customer, a valued customer. They helped me out explaining what each drink was that I may like (one of the other reasons I love this place is due to their baristas and other employees) and what flavors I like. The atmosphere in the building was professional, peaceful, really relaxing over all. Lighting is beautiful. I will be a forever customer when I want a good cup of the many different drinks that are there!
Great place to relax and read. Comfy and tons of places to sit. excellent coffee
My absolute favorite cafe. Everything is amazing and so is the atmosphere! Best blended mocha you can get!
I love their coffee, especially the cafe miel. The environment is comfortable and fosters hanging out or working. College students and professionals would find it inviting.
Friendly staff. The coffee shop itself is cozy. It opens up to a book store on one end and a larger room on the other. They do offer almond milk and have a sugar free flavoring if watching your sugars and carbs
Young crowd. Great service staff. Big open meeting area next door for bigger crowd
A chill modern spot with relaxing music for students of all ages. Their sustainable coffee will sustain you through a work session or lively conversation. I love their signature drink Cafe Miel.
Top level baristas. High quality coffee. Great atmosphere. Connected to a bookstore and large conference area. 10/10 would recommend. Best coffee in Marion.
Love Abbey Coffee. Its kind of my office for meetings. lol
A very nice and relaxed place, coffee is great and the service was very good. A great place to come with friends, or to come a read.
Really nice coffee, and a comfortable atmosphere.As a student at the nearby university, the Abbey is a comfy place to come study. Free wi-fi, high quality coffee, a pleasant ambience, and tasty cookies...what more could you ask for. Its a nice little respite to be found in little ole Marion.
Great staff, very young, polite, hip group of people. Great just to go and have a coffee and genuinely kick back. Decent pricing, good music.
If you are in to coffee culture (things like blubbery notes, melon, chocolate, or velvety mouth feel) then this is a good roastery. If your just want plain coffee, perhaps a Gas station is more suited to your taste (not being judgmental or condescending, just laying it like I would want it.).
Quiye possibly the best coffee place in Indiana - incredible coffee (I had the latte), very large place but split into 4 sections - main coffee shop, inside balcony overlooking main seating, outdoor chairs/tables (could use umbrellas), and a very large room next door that has a stage. On the other side of the coffee shop is a bookstore that is accessible from Abbey. The music is not normal coffee shop tunes, sort of alternative coffee shop music similar to some things played at Starbs.The beans are locally roasted in small batches, so there is a really good, true flavor experience...not the burnt taste that needs flavorings to hide.Staff was incredible and fun, even some patrons were doing a short dance when certain songs came on. Many were there studying, I was working in the balcony on a business trip.Definitely will return to try more beans!
Although I havent had their coffee, its still a great place to relax and read, or even study because of its calm atmosphere.
After 12 years in the coffee industry I can honestly say The Abbey is in its own league. Youd literally have to travel 150 miles to find a shop thats half as good. The roasters and baristas are stellar. Atmosphere is really great. Competition level baristas, urban decor, and coffee quality far beyond what youre accustomed to. It is a big city coffee shop in a little town.
Great atmosphere. Amazing coffee. Great service. 10/10 recommend!
Great atmosphere and really good coffee. The best place to come and hang out in Marion, Indiana.
Great space for meetings 👍 Very nice location!
Relaxing place to study, work, or hang out. A variety of seating options, power outlets, and free WiFi. There is also a nice fire pit out front for a little change of scenery. Friendly employees as well.
Wonderful atmosphere. Fantastic coffee options. Great service. Super friendly staff.
This place is amazing. Great coffee. Good people. Cool atmosphere.
This place is the best coffee shop ever. Definitely give it a try.
The Abbey always has great coffee and their baristas are really talented and friendlv. Their space is great to just hang out in—and even if it’s full of students doing homework, it’s still usually pretty quiet and chill. Stay a while am try a few coffees!
Delicious coffee plus wonderful atmosphere inside or enjoy being outdoor on the patio! ☕
Great atmosphere and knowledgeable staff. I enjoyed the Guatemalan, but the El Salvador I had afterward was nearly perfect!
Exactly what you would expect from a coffee shop, courteous, friendly service and decent product.
Nice place, good coffee. Would love to see menu options expand to offer paninis, flat whites, and perhaps fruit .
The Cafe Miele is my go-to drink. If youre fortunate, you can be one of the few customers who get to enjoy their amazing chocolate chip cookies. They only make them every now and again, so you would do well to ask the barista about them.
Love the atmosphere and great coffee. I wish they had whipped cream, though.
Great location for anything from homework to serious conversations, from a coffee date to a gift-shop.
Best Mocha Frappe I have ever had. Worth the drive from Kokomo just to get one!
Very nice hang out spot for teens, college students, or even business professionals.
Really great place to go and hang it with old friends, work on homework, read a book, or drink the amazing coffee. The staff are friendly the first time they meet you and the prices are a fantastic
Great local place. Only a couple years old. Try the Vanilla Latte. The staff love what they do.
Great place to hang out with friends! Great atmosphere and coffee.
Very simple yet flavorful menu. One of the best cups of coffee!
Wow... this place is lyfe. Its not just the average hipster version of Starbucks. Great music on Tuesdays, rad staff, bookstore, and giant space make this the perfect place to hang at.. or live at..
The best iced caramel latte you will ever taste.
Amazing coffee, amazing people. Just overall a really nice place to go.
My hometown go-to. Great tasting roasts on their coffee, and the millennium coca-cola machine is a nice touch when you want something cool.
Great coffe. Great folks. Oh, the tea is great also.
Mocha Frappe was delicious! Love the atmosphere here.
We loved the atmosphere- beautiful.
Awesome coffee (the cafe miel is deelish) and atmosphere! Lots of larger tables for groups, meetings, or to just spread homework out on.
They make a mean cup-a-joe. not your average coffee house. roast master is something to write home about. staff is a jovial group and always bumpin a good jam. hard not to get good vibes coming in here.
Very cozy place right next to a book store. Great Coffee
Solid chai and great Yirga- Devin was a great barista!
Great for coffee and a place to sit for quiet time
Great atmosphere, great coffee. Best shop youre going to find this far outside of Indianapolis.
Great coffee great staff just a really cool place
Great coffe, nice atmosphere, fast internet. The pour-overs are great.
Great staff and a laid back atmosphere..
