“ Great atmosphere, great coffee. The scones are massive and delicious. I got the cheddar chive- it tasted like an elevated version of Red Lobsters cheddar bay biscuits. Prices are really reasonable. Amazing little hang out spot. ”
“ When you think of a cozy coffee shop in your minds eye, there can be no better real world representation than Monks. A local small business, it is the perfect place to caffinate any time of day without paying big corporations or big corpo coffee shop prices. The staff is always kind and cheerful, I've never had an unpleasant encounter in the 3 years I've come here. Highly recommend, this is THE BEST coffee shop in Abilene no contest. ”
“ What a quaint artsy coffee shop which has a lot of personality, friendly service, wonderful ambience and of course, great coffee. It's in the heart of downtown so it's a wonderful place to go and hang out but then walk around to enjoy the downtown charm of Abilene. In addition to having great coffee, they also have delicious smoothies and unique and wonderful selections of tea. I love the decor with great art from local artists and has a relaxing vibe to the place that makes you want to just hang out with friends and family and enjoy your time together. The service is personalized and they really want to help you find just the right coffee and tea and are highly accommodating with food intolerances. Would highly recommend this coffee shop. ”
“ Great place! We’re moving to Abilene in a few weeks and decided to check out this place while we were here and I can definitely say we’ll be back again! :) The vibe of the place was very laid back and welcoming. I asked one of the baristas (Ryder) to make me a surprise drink and it was amazing!! If you like spices in your coffee, i definitely recommend this one. He said a few of the ingredients were chai, cinnamon and oatmilk. 10/10! ”
“ I work downtown and have been a regular here for awhile. My husband often wondered why I didn’t just make my coffee at home, and after trying Monks, he finally understood! LOL. The team at Monks is always so friendly and quick to greet me, making every visit a pleasure. The other day, I walked in and saw the manager or owner (not sure which) training a new employee. It was clear how much she cared — she took the time and paid attention to every detail to ensure the new employee had the support she needed. I really appreciate the quality and consistency I get from Monks. Even though different people make my drinks, they always taste the same, which I truly value — unlike many coffee shops where the same order can taste different each time. I usually get the iced dirty chai with a Cubano shot and oat milk. As a chai "snob," I can confidently say they have the best chai in town. Thank you for fueling my mornings and always making my day a little easier! ”
“ Monks Coffee Shop is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great cup of coffee in downtown! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a great place to work, catch up with friends, or just unwind. The coffee is always fresh and expertly made, with plenty of options to choose from. Their pastries and snacks are a nice bonus, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. Monks truly captures the charm of a local coffee shop, and it’s a must-visit if you’re in the area! ”
