Other than Starbucks, I only frequent one coffee shop in Abilene. Monks (sorry Java City) on
Cypress street in downtown Abilene comes highly recommended by me. I may be arty, but I'm not suggesting you order the most stout latte available, sulk into a teal velvet chair, and listen to emo music. "Yeah right," surely you jest. You may find such people inside this coffee shop. It's likely, in fact. The atmosphere, however, is conducive to a desire to sit in peace and read or write or reflect on a painstakingly long day. Monks also provides proven musical guests often. Don't expect to hear country or hip hop, but do expect to be soothed upon kicking back at this groovy little joint.As for Java City, it's probably suitable. I just haven't been there yet, as it's on the other side of town from my stoop. I shall get around to a visit there.
I know there is some cyber coffee shop near 351, but I haven't checked it out either.
Then again, who am I to tell you what coffee shop to visit? Check them all out if you like! I plan to, but I feel quite certain I will stick to what I know.
Cheers.
P.S. Becky...Thank you! I usually fill in for Angela or Priscilla when they are away.
Au contraire. Definitely order the most stout latte available.
ReplyDeleteMonks seems wierd to me...
ReplyDeleteWhich Starbucks location do you think is better?
ReplyDeleteI've been to Monk's once and it took about 10 minutes for them to make my drink. I'm a pathetic Starbuck's follower.
ReplyDeleteI like Mezamiz coffee house on the corner of South 7th and Leggett. It's very cozy, the food is great, and they have soothing live music on Friday nights. They could use some new easy chairs though.
