This former funeral home is beautiful and dimly lit. It is directly across the street from Allegheny Cemetery, which gives great creepy goth vibes.
As a restaurant, this place is okay. The salads are fresh and have a good ratio of texture and flavor. The lunch items are heavy on bread, so you'll need to choose carefully to not be hungry again soon.
I absolutely love the cafe. The lattes are HUGE and only $3.50! Each one has cute latte art on top that looks like a fern frond. And the sweets are dense and decadent. Try the squishy apricot loaf, it's super moist and sticky. There are plenty of nooks and crannies to get work done, and also enough space for a small group to have a semiprivate meeting place.
The Abbey is easily accessible by bike and bus, and there is plenty of free street parking and a small lot.
