Lovely place with nice people. Not a place to stop if youre in a hurry, but definitely if you want a nice drink and lunch and have the time. I had the Summer Chai and Muffuletta sandwich. Both were delicious.

Hyper local, fresh food, good space for meetings and community building.

Charming coffe shop next to the Beloved church. They have a great selection of coffee styles, some breakfast sandwiches, and pastries. The eclectic furniture and decor reminded me of Central Perk from Friends, or just about any coffee shop in the 90s.The place is very inviting and welcomes everyone. For an extra $2 you can make sure the cafe is able to provide a simple meal to a needy patron. You cant get more welcoming than that!

Went for a wedding reception so probably not the best impression to use for review. That said, the space is very very neat and the staff that was there working was fantastic. Certainly unique, if youve never been go check them out.

Nice and quiet place to relax. Not a fan of vegetables but their Mediterranean veggie sandwich is amazing and my go to here. They have been greatly improving their dessert game. Always a variety. I also like the fact they feed the homeless community.

I love the Abbey and all that they do for the community. I go at least 3 times a week on the way to work and am always greeted with a smiling face. Their coffee taste better and is much cheaper than other coffee houses in town and when you drink it you feel like you have done something good to help out. Be sure to ask them about the sharing a meal program!

Great people+ Good coffee

The Abbey is a very cozy and welcoming place to grab your morning coffee and a scone or breakfast sandwich. The staff are efficient and friendly. And dont forget Sunday afternoon worship service!

1. The coffee is great. I got the medium roast. In a neighborhood of great coffee, this cup stands out as, in a good way, mild-tasting (but not weak.)However2. I ordered a toasted bagel with cream cheese to-go and was given the most miserly amount of cream cheese I have ever seen rationed for an entire bagel. Even one pre-packaged Philadelphia with peel away top would have been more. This wasn’t enough to paint one of the two toasted surfaces with a knife scraped film, much less coat both surfaces with a standard breakfast-restaurant-bagel cream cheese layer. So there’s that 🙄

Awesome little spot, non-pretentious, church run, and supports great causes. House made syrups makes coffee drinks above average. Love the wide array of Piper & Leaf teas - its my go to!

Great cappuccino, all sorts of yummy sweets, and friendly people! A perfect place to meet a friend or get some work done while you enjoy a good cup of coffee..... and proceeds benefit a wonderful cause too!

Great spot for good food and fellowship. Always an interesting and enjoyable experience. Frequently manage to connect with the most fascinating and interesting folks. Highly recommend this unique eatery.

It is personally my favorite coffee shop. The vibe in there is very peaceful and beautiful. They always have very cool art. And the people are always super nice.

Great muffaletta. Heated!!. Lemon blueberry cookie was delicious. Topped off with a caramel apple iced tea. Friendly relaxed atmosphere.

Great coffee and tasty food. Nice Berry Blizard. Try their beer and wine selection. Really good service and atmosphere.

Friendly faces... The guy that works there.. I thing people call him goose is amazing and kind. Its a very refreshing environment.

Great place for a great cup of coffee. All types are welcome, and the hipsters seem to keep to themselves and are not pushy

Lovely spot with soulful barista. Diversity in ages was nice to see with 91 year old enjoying lunch and coffee.

Excellent coffee... in a Christian environment. Five Star.

Share the love! Get a delicious lunch or pastry, great coffee and donate a couple bucks for the next person who needs a break!

The coffee wasnt bad but the atmosphere was very uncomfortable. I felt very out of place and was stared at for majority of the time I was there. I felt like i wasnt really welcomed or belonged.

Nice little coffee shop in Avondale. Soups, salads, sandwiches, pastries. Very friendly staff. Update November 2019. CLOSED

Abbys is the best. They really care about the people

The Abbey is a superb neighborhood cafe. Its also an Episcopal Church with a unique mission for Downtown Birmingham.

Great coffee shop / cafe with beer and wine too. Awesome staff and baked treats

Tasty pastries, savory soups, warm sandwiches and lovely local iced teas. Has a creative vibe with rotating art, a meeting room with floor to ceiling curtains for privacy, and a small library for those wanting to devour a book along with a satisfying meal.

This place is by far the best I have been to! Great atmosphere, great coffee.

Love the variety of coffees and their changing specials. Super nice people.

Wonderful service good coffee great food.

Small coffee shop with a menu of freshly onsite baked goods daily. The cafe also serves as a Christian Mission to the Homeless and serves lunch to roughly 25 homeless people each day.

Its not just coffee. Theres art, a pretty decent selection of sandwiches. And because its a ministry of the Episcopal Church, theres services on certain days.

Great place to enjoy good coffee and sandwich. All are welcome.
