"I seriously think this is the best sandwich I’ve ever had. The banh mi sandwich is absolutely perfect. Get it with the jalapeño and the spicy chili sauce! The people who work here are also so delightful :)"

"I discovered a vegan haven, Old Abe. The menu's rice bowls and banh mi offerings were not just visually appealing but also bursting with vibrant flavors. Despite arriving close to closing time, the servers were welcoming and efficient, ensuring a delightful dining experience. Quick service allowed us to savor every moment, and the option for takeout boxes was appreciated. It is a must-visit for those seeking healthier, flavorful vegan fare in a charming setting. Highly recommended."

"What a pleasant surprise to see that Minnesotans seem to have a lot of vegan places (not just options) where vegans can eat without worrying about animal bits and grease in the food. This place is walking distance from a nice quiet neighborhood we’re staying in. Very interesting decor and cozy with a quieter upstairs sitting area. I got the Korean BBQ Bowl and my husband got the Bahn Mi handheld but he didn’t realize there would be so much cucumber in it which he doesn’t eat. We will have to go back and try other things including maybe a donut."

"Did not realize this place is vegan, but nevertheless I really enjoyed the tropical hibiscus donut, everything bagel and coffee! The vegan cream cheese and chips were quite good with the bagel, nice to get a little breakfast box to go. The only problem was that the decaf tasted very off like it was poured from a rusted pitcher or something. Very strange Overall good place though I probably wouldn’t go back since I’m not vegan"

"Visited for lunch with my son on Nov 10, before our appointment at Mayo. This unique spot in Rochester stands out with its all-vegan food selection - a rare find in the area. We tried the BLT and Banh MI, along with a vegan doughnut for my son, who loved it without even realizing it was vegan! The staff at Abe Coffee Shop were friendly and efficient, ensuring our food arrived quickly. The restaurant, a charmingly converted house, exudes warmth and coziness, although it’s a bit small and can get loud inside. Luckily, there’s outdoor seating available during warmer months. Expect to pay around $15 per meal, but it’s entirely worth it for the quality and uniqueness of the offerings. There’s no other place in Rochester that matches its delightful all-vegan menu. I highly recommend Abe Coffee Shop, not just to vegans but to anyone. I often bring my non-vegan friends here, and they consistently enjoy both the food and the atmosphere."
