I was in Abingdon for a workshop last summer and had time every evening afterwards to do a little…read moreexploring. Abingdon is a little town with a lot of fast food outlets and doesn't exactly have a vibrant cafe society or third spaces for people living outside of the nuclear family unit constellation. So I was delighted to find this little cafe/ bookshop (The Book Cellar) which even has a tiny garden as well where you can get a cuppa tea, browse the books, sit down and maybe just get some writing done or just collect your thoughts. Folks were very friendly and I had no problems here whatsoever. It's small, very cozy but for little Abingdon, it's just right. I was so happy to find this corner of Abingdon. I may come back to Abingdon in the future for other workshops and if I do, I sure hope this little shop and cafe are still here.

As we passed through the historic town of Bristol Virginia, we were craving a sweet treat for…read morebreakfast. And blackbird bakery was amazing! I had a raspberry jelly doughnut, and my husband had a huge croissant that he and the woman who waited on us agreed, croissants as good as they are in Italy! and that's big praise. Coffee was delicious and hot and if you're a tea drinker, they offer Harney & son and teabags delicious. If we come back that this way, that'll definitely be our breakfast stop.

Bristol, Va. This bakery was our go to place for breakfast…read moreduring our week in Bristol. At first I was skeptical because of the long line that didn't seem to be moving. As it turns out there are a couple of ladies who really know how to run the show here. The line does move along efficiently and the lead lady communicates with the staff quite efficiently. There is also another lady who is a wizard of the espresso machine, it is a good thing they have her. On our first day there she came in late and this other lady took FOREVER to make our lattes, which turned out weak and milky. On follow up visits the wizard swiftly prepared our caffeinated beverages with great skill. The bean they use here has a good flavor but the espresso lacks boldness. The end product is just not rich enough, but it will do. The quiches are excellent, we always went with bacon Swiss or Loraine. They are a good size with a nice flakey crust, The granola yogurt parfaits are pretty good, the granola has a nice crunch to it. The yogurt was a bit sweet, it may be Chobani, but it went very well with the extra cup of berries you can purchase on the side. These berries by the way were fresh and beautiful. All the cookies we tried were great. They make a perfect affogato here, very addicting. I'm not sure if it's on the menu, but ask and you shall receive. The ice cream here is of a great quality, very creamy. The lemon berry tarts are way too sweet, they missed the boat on this one. I could not eat more than half of one. They did give us 15% off on the tarts because they were a couple days old. The candied pecans look good but the nuts are a bit rancid. All that sugar can't hide that.

Nice for something different in JC. I hade the Italian sausage sandwich and wife had the salmon…read moresandwich with house made chips. Both sandwiches were delicious with the garlic aioli on the salmon taking it to the right balance. The sturdy ciabatta held up well to the marinara on the Italian sausage with peppers. Price was ok, but more for the flavors than the size. House made chips were a bit of a flop as served cold and some were over crisp. All in all, we will be back and look forward to trying thier crepes next time.

Reasonably good. Certainly above average for a place in a higher end strip mall. The space was…read morenicely done and spacious. It honestly had the look of a Panera. Navigating the overall experience was a little confusing. There's a clearly visible coffee menu above the counter, but the food menu is somewhat hidden. Fortunately, a staff member noticed my confusion and handed me a menu. There are also portions of the menu that are only available after 11am, and that's not clear on either the menu or the web site. Fine. In terms of food, I ordered a greek crepe with a half greek salad on the side. The salad was good, but not exceptional. Fresh. Crisp. Pre-sliced tomatoes for easy navigation. Probably a little too much feta. The crepe was interesting. It was almost a crepe burrito with greek filling. It was honestly on the heavy side. More crepe than filling, with an extra dusting of cheese on top. In terms of coffee, I would say middling. It wasn't bad coffee. It also wasn't good coffee. Overly bitter and one dimensional. On the other hand, they served the coffee in an oversized ceramic mug, which added some character and quality. Overall, this was a reasonable place to stop for a quick breakfast on a road trip. It wasn't exceptional, and there were some surprises along the way, but the overall experience was fine. It works as a quick pit stop.

My husband ordered an Americano (black) and enjoyed it. I had their matcha which does come pre sweetened. I prefer a matcha with no sweeteners so that's why I dropped 1 Star. It's nice to have a non sweetened option for those who are diabetic or just prefer it that way. This spot has easy parking and is located in a strip mall near a dispensary and huge consignment store. Love the location as it's easy to find for someone who is traveling through the area.
