Abbeys cottage cafe

Nice parrot, but had to wait over half an hour for a burger.

There are few worse feelings than recommending a place to your friends and then it turns out to be as godawful as my most recent visit here. Oh how i longed to re-live the days where i would take my lunch break at Toyworld and come down to Abbeys for a delicious chips and gravy. I often mention that i view things through rose-tinted glasses; well today those glasses came off... then they were thrown on the ground and crushed by the heavy boot of reality. Let me start positive though: Lots of older people come here which is nice. I like the simplicity that seems to come with old age. The way they take pleasure in the small things in life is refreshing. I met an older gentleman here and he was really friendly. He was a customer though - would be nice if the staff were as pleasant as this man. I hope he lives a full and happy life. At the time I ordered I was 24. By the time food came out I'd had my 30th birthday. Only a mild exaggeration but honestly the longest wait i've ever had for a BLT and strawberry shake. Forty-five painfully long minutes of my hour long lunch break. My colleague ordered the loaded chips and a thickshake. Thickshake causes brainfeeeze (as it should) AND comes with a straw. Loaded fries came with burnt cheese which tasted burnt most likely due to it being such. Chips do NOT come with a fork. Perhaps on another day when staff weren't "too busy to grab you one" (yes that's a direct quote), service might be decent but from my experience today they missed the mark and not just by a little bit. I get that you're busy but my not so humble opinion is that any venue should be able to serve as many people as you can seat. So with seats to spare on this occasion you'll forgive me for not accepting the 'too busy' excuse. Not even a hint of an apology for the wait times. May seem picky but with a small apology you can really dig yourself out of a hole. More positives: Bird was cute and also large. Cage was quite small, also bird did not talk so like whats the point? Large fishtank was cool but not particularly clean so aesthetic was kinda ruined? Food was okay but nothing special. In my haste to eat before returning to work I forgot to get photos so attached is a pic of an empty plate. Not sorry.

Very nice little cafe off the main street! Nice food options available. The fellas behind the counter were friendly as soon as we walked in as well. My sister has ranked their chips and milkshake higher than any others she's had before around town, which is saying something!

Nice little cafe tucked away off the street amongst big-box retail outlets. Good coffee and great snacks. Definitely worth a visit.

This was a great quiet spot with awesome coffee, great food and great service.

So glad I found this place, food and service are amazing, really well priced. Very clam and relaxed atmosphere. I will definitely be back.

Always has great food, my friends and I meet there. Very impressed.

Absolutely amazing feed. The best baked cheesecake I have even had!! Staff are so friendly and wonderful to deal with. Coffee always on point. And I love how tucked away and quiet it is

Great food and coffee, the beef burger was delicious. Very small and quiet with just one table inside and a few outside.

Great spot for a nice book and coffee. Hidden gem!
