I've stopped in here a handful of times since my high school years and every time I'm satisfied with the experience. Staff are professional and courteous, the space is kept clean and cute, and I always think about returning upon leaving. For my most recent visit, I enjoyed the patio on a Tuesday morning in June. It's decked out with garden decorations, a water bowl for furry friends, a fireplace, and lights hanging above. Beside the main patio is a wooded area with picnic benches. The Abbey hosts live music every Thursday night and it draws a sizable crowd.

I've only been here once, but I'm definitely coming back.

I know that there are often high demand and stress, but there would really be a difference for the customers to feel as they are appreciated, at least a little. only my two cents.

The restaurant was clean, and sported a fire pit outside with seating.

My kids couldn’t get enough of the delicious chai latte I had, especially after they asked to try a sip. However, I wasn't a fan of the breakfast panini, so next time, I'll simply stick with two orders of the frittatas.

She seemed eager to hurry us along and grew impatient as we continued to look over the menu. It was definitely a disappointing experience in terms of customer service!

We highly recommend the Hot Ham and Cheese or the Abbey Club sandwich, paired with the Sweet Louise salad topped with raspberry vinaigrette. My husband is also a huge fan of their Irish Coffee!
