The Abbott is this cute little place found in Parkdale just off of King St. and it is beautiful. This place seems to be well thought through in terms of its look. I came in just before close, so there weren't many people here, but I could just imagine this place full of people. The communal table is almost a staple in all coffee shops and The Abbott has one of those.
The coffee was average. The taste just seemed to lack that punch and left my mouth feeling very dry after each sip.
Although the coffee was average there is something about this place that tells me to tell people to come here. Maybe it's because the past few places I have been to just aren't that welcoming, but this place truly has care written all over it. The staff are very friendly and willing to serve; they want to make coffee for YOU, not because you are paying, but because you are YOU.
Overall a pleasant experience. If I am in the area I may be back.
That's it!
