The Abbey Café & Gallery in Fredericton

I dream of their food. Especially their pulled pork jackfruit.

My husband and I stopped in for lunch. We shared the zucchini red pepper panini and the special of the day, a taco salad bowl. I also grabbed some of their pumpkin spice chocolate chip cookies to go. The sandwich and taco bowl were absolutely delicious. I really enjoyed the sour cream that came with the taco bowl. The cookies were to die for. I can t wait until I m back in town to go again. Dietary restrictions: Fully vegan restaurant

My first time at The Abbey! I am a beginnerish healthy eater again and my experience here was Topnotch

I ordered a cappuccino and hot chocolate on New Brunswick day while waiting for the fireworks and the service was very poor. The barista was rude and very tired, and the two drinks were both the worst tasting weve ever tried. The chai in the hot chocolate was practically burning my throat every sip, and didnt even taste like chocolate. And the cap was dark and dry, not even close to being worth the $8 price tag. Not recommended

Favourite veggie place in town!

Wow!!

Went there for the first time today and its a nice little spot, however the food (we got the pad thai) was SO salty. I couldnt even taste the peanut flavours as the entire dish was overwhelmed with salt. Maybe it was a bad batch or sauce or something, Im not sure. But the people I was with also said their dishes were very salty also. I will give it another try some other time.

Were regulars at The Abbey, but I wanted to give a particular shout out to the team for hosting a private event for my friends birthday. We were able to rent the basement seating area on a Saturday evening - a perfect venue for a murder mystery party, if you ask me - and the team made the booking and catering process accessible and straightforward. They even went so far as to procure water pitchers for us so that we could stay hydrated (between cans of craft beer and cider). The spot was spacious and cosy, the food (cold wraps, assorted dips, and a green goodness salad bowl) was delicious, and the staff was supremely helpful and friendly. Im glad they were such good sports in spite of the fact that a bunch of people in masquerade outfits were running around. Would definitely recommend The Abbey not only for their delicious vegan food, but for your events as well! Thank you again to the team for helping to make our celebration amazing!

Been many times now, on this occasion I got the California sushi bowl and it was delicious. Great service always

Customer service needs improvement asap. Make you feel like an inconvenience.

Friendly, helpful staff. Nice variety of vegetarian meals.

This is a great spot, regardless of your food inclinations. My partner had a bowl and I had a panini. They have created an inviting and relaxing atmosphere, and accentuated it with outstanding food value, taste, and compassion. And, most importantly, its a small local business. Get off the highway, walk along the river, but dont miss this gem.

A very great vegan cafe! The food was delicious and I was able to work on some stuff there in a nice little quiet nook! I definitely recommend !!

There was one time when I got a cold bowl a few months ago that was...erm... atrocious. The avocado was...white and grey. And the tomatoes both looked rotten but also unripened? (Photos attached) I couldnt even finish it, I just picked out the tofu and ate that- a total bummer for how much it cost. I literally never leave reviews for places, but I frequent this restaurant so often and Ive started to feel discouraged from doing so... which sucks since its one of the only places I can get decent vegan food in town

Just want to thamk The Abbey for taking care of a stranded commuter. There was a fire on carleton St. So I couldnt go home after work. The server here tonight was really lovely and considerate. Great food here too, and lots of flavourful vegan options. Great little place.

Overall a great spot to study with a mug of something delicious, have coffee dates, lunches, and look at some wonderful art. Lots of cozy spots to sit, affordable food options, and lots of vegan goodies. Today I had a California bowl that had way too much soy sauce on it, and they dont have tons of GF options for lunch but I still love this place.

I love their coffee

Discovered by Assard during a family visit to Fredericton. Nice little cafe and also vegetarian, we were very happy with our discovery.

We found this downtown cafe. Amazing food! We will come again when we are in town for sure. 5 stars!

Amazing, start to finish. Great food, great people, a must stop eatery in Fredericton.

Great food but we were told we had to bring our dirty dishes back once we were done our meal. Going out to eat a sit down meal and I have to clear the table??? No - I don t work there. The staff have to clean the table and they should clear the dishes. I don t use self check outs and I do not work at the Abbey Cafe. We like to go out to eat so we don t have to cook or clean. Also our hands were full with our own own items. I will not be back.

My favorite pick in the city for vegan/veg friendly options! Delicious varied dishes and super friendly staff, not to mention the awesome local artistic talent displayed throughout both floors. Great spot to grab a bite, a coffee, and read a chapter or two.

Always such a lovely place to visit! Amazing customer service and wonderful atmosphere. Delicious food and drinks!

We were looking for a vegan restaurant while in Fredericton and decided to try out Abbey s - it had great vibes and the lentil meatball panini was so good that we had to come back the next day and get it again! Seriously will be dreaming about that panini for a long time. Highly recommend whether you re vegan or not!

Love this place. Has an amazing range of vegan dishes that mimic the meat style dishes. The soups are the best and fairly priced. Such a good spot for veggies/vegans. Coffee is ok but there are a range of other drinks. Vegetarian options: Its all vegan

We had a lovely experience here. The food, for us, the Mediterranean salad and vegetarian panini followed by the curry bowl were all amazing. Neither of us left hungry, in fact we we left with a take away box of leftovers. Topped off with an in-house drag show, a perfect evening.

I love the food here, its very reasonably priced and tastes delicious. There is a variety of art up and on sale too, highly recommend checking it out.

Great cafe, the chai lattes are one of the best weve had. The brownies are a perfect mix of gooey with a hard shell exterior. Would go again!

Was beautiful thank you kindly.

Quirky and quaint little cafe. Has some artsy stuff on the bottom floor which fits its vibe. Food was very good. Dont waste your time and get the chips with the burritos, do yourself a favour and substitute something else out. Also tried a new kombucha there that was excellent. The panini and burrito were both worth getting . Id definitely go back and try more items

Lot of veggie options

Food is delicious our group had the chicken burrito sushi bowl ceaser salad curry bowl. All were delicious. Service was great prices were good.

Good place for vegan food. If youre on a roadtrip and need a tasty and healthy meal, this is a good place to go.

Zucchini. Muffins.

Green Goodness salad hit the spot. It was delicious. Ingredients were fresh and cold the way a salad like this should be served. We had it to go and sat on a bench along the River and even with Togo utensils it was good. The service was friendly. We filled our water bottles. While we waited we strolled through the gallery . Not sure if I ll be back in the area but if I am I will definitely make it a point to return!

First visit and I loved everything about it! Will definitely be back again. :)

Very lovely little cafe and delicious food!

good and quiet place , staff are kind and good foods .

Great food.. Great and friendly staff. We ended up getting two sandwiches and soups.. FIRE! Keep it up. The red pepper sandwich is awesome with a soup.

Good affordable food and nice ambiance :)

Accommodating staff, a peaceful ambience and great service!

Excellent vegan food with local beer and ciders. Staff took time to advise us on the menu and our dinner was on the table in minutes. Generous Caesar salad with lots of olives. Cheesy fusilli was made with lovely vegan cheese that really tasted like cheese should. Rich, soft peanut butter brownie for dessert. Dietary restrictions: Accommodated diet restrictions, suggesting a slightly modified menu item.

Very nice menu and welcoming staff, in a charming decor! We really enjoyed our experience and I will definitely return if I come back to Fredericton.

Charming restaurant / cafe. Ample vegetarian & vegan selection.

Great food, atmosphere and service. Ingredients were fresh and lovely artwork on the walls. Loved the veta veggie bowl. Have been coming for years and it has been consistently good food and service.

The food was yum as always!!! Its a fun place to hang out! Love their vintage interior! Food

We were traveling vegetarians in need of a good meal and this restaurant didn t disappoint! I had the pasta with vegan cheese and it was perfect.

Vegetarian options: All vegan Dietary restrictions: 100% vegan Food : 5/5 |

Spent the afternoon in Fredricton but the majority of it here! We ADORED this cafe. The inside was so cute. Got sparkling water and played crib in the basement (that is complete with board games and an art gallery). We had amazing in depth tarot card readings, and then got tea before hitting the road. Great options for people with dietary restrictuins as well. Vegetarian options: Its a vegan/vegetarian Cafe so lots of options! Dietary restrictions: Wide variety of options - vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, etc

What a gorgeous little place! Got a drink before going downstairs to the art gallery that also had books and board games! The best tarot card readings as well! Got another drink before we left! Vegetarian options: Lots of delicious options! Dietary restrictions: Great options for lots of dietary restrictions! Gluten free, lactose free, vegetarian and vegan!

Finally a good choice! Food was delicious and service was good.

So happy this cafe was next to my hotel when I was here for work. Came here three times because the food was so great. Definitely recommend

We absolutely love this place! Delicious food, healthy, nice atmosphere and great service! 5 Food

Tacky art, horrible lighting, disturbing wall paint and decor terrible food, I didn t even touch my sushi bowl it was sitting in a pool of soya sauce. But the worst of all. The stench. My wool coat, entire outfit, and blowout is absolutely ruined from having dinner here. I don t know if it s because their kitchen is outside or what, but don t eat here unless you want to offend everyone with your STENCH after eating here and spend hundreds on dry cleaning.

The only problem with this place is that it isnt in Moncton as it not being here complicates my life. The menu has many options depending on what youre fiending that day. We did the Cajun burrito and my partner had the curry bowl. Both were absolute bangers! We also got carrot cake. It was clearly sorcery as no human could make such a delicious dessert without black magic. We bought a second piece for the sad drive back to Moncton as way to try to drown our sorrows. The subject of how long itll be until we can go back to the Abbey hurts our heartsouls. I hope the people of Fredericton know how lucky they are to have such a good vegan restaurant in their town. Vegetarian options: Its Vegan baby!

Great place but too bad they stick to the tyranny of government guidelines

Wow - so impressed with my server, Lara. She really brightened up the atmosphere of your already beautiful establishment. I dont know a lot about vegan food and she was very patient with me as I browsed the menu. She, even more than the actual restaurant, left a memorable impression. Customer service is top notch. I recommend that Lara gets a raise immediately for her dedication to excellent service.

It was excellent food.

Cafe with a pleasant ambiance. Interesting vegan dishes.

Service his very special

Delicious vegan food! Roomy, nice decor. Good service. Reasonable prices!

Really good vegan spot! I got the Mediterranean chickn panini, which was absolutely fire and the pad thai which I found the peanut sauce was super salty! It could use some mapple syrup... but the everything else was so good

Vegan/vegetarian restaurant, lots of choice on the menu, super quality ingredients. It is delicious. Very nice decor and atmosphere. Top notch staff. And also a gallery for local artists I recommend

Im not vegan or vegetarian and I still love this place! Their cheesy fusilli is delicious, all of their food is so yummy and healthy, and the staff are very friendly. Its such a relaxing place, love coming here for a casual lunch with friends. :)

The sweet potato burrito...*chefs kiss* Cashew based sour cream is my absolute favorite. Highly recommend

Beautiful spot downtown, great coffee, lovely food and amazing art works

Will not go back, sorry..

So awesome!! We ate the California bowl and the abby panini- YUMMERS

Great place! Food is good, their chocolate cake with penutbutter frosting is amazing! Lots of space to work from. Recommend!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten friendly

Great Place. Calm atmosphere and good food. Lots of local support for artists and businesses.

Very nice vegan café/restaurant and local art gallery, service was good, atmosphere is nice too, spent a while getting some work done. Decent coffee. Had the soup of the day which was hearty and well-seasoned. Prices are very reasonable.

Pleasant café on Queen Street, close to the museum and waterfront. It was open on New Brunswick day, while many other establishments were closed. Thank you. Vegetarian options: Full vegan and vegetarian menu.

Great place and friendly staff. I love eating here whenever I m in Fredericton. The food is delicious. I m a huge fan of their paninis

Very nice vegan restaurant with great options. The price was low for a good quality. It s definitely worth a visit! We loved the panini and burritos:))

Great food !

Great menu options and great food. The dining area is not ideal but not bad either. I had an amazing Greek greens and pasta Salad that was truly delicious. So many other items on the menu I can t wait to try next time.

Decent, healthy food. I had the sweet potato wrap with Thai soup. Both were flavourful and good. My wife found her California Sushi Bowl a bit salty, but edible. Interesting art. Nice staff. Order at the counter and they deliver to your table. Worth investigating.

Delicious

So many delicious vegan meals & desserts. Booch on tap. And there is an awesome little store with house made sauces, facon bits, soy curls, etc. Great service. Very safe & clean during these covid times. Highly recommend for your plant based dining needs.

Great spot for a healthy lunch that respects dietary restrictions without sacrificing taste. Vegetarian options: A+ vegetarian options.

Lovely food and coffee with even lovelier vibes!

Friendly and quick service, stellar food, GREAT atmosphere. 10/10!!! This is my new go-to place! Vegetarian options: So many vegan options! <3 Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of space and seating options for those who use a mobility aid! Important to note: there is a 2-inch step to get inside, so may not be accessible for all!

amazing atmosphere and the staff are very pleasant, often giving out compliments. they have a lot of art and give away plants sometimes which is really nice. the zucchini panini is to die for!! i usually add tofu to it as well and its very filling. for the people that enjoy cow milk they also have that as an option for their drinks. Vegetarian options: since its a vegan restaurant its also very vegetarian friendly.

The chai tea latte is delicious

Seriously the best food iv had in Fredericton! If your vegan and if your not vegan but want to try it, This is the place for sure! The flavor and good vibes of this place are amazing! Thank you for your wonderful service and experience!!!

Awesome eats!

Good location, comfortable seating and good food with vegan and gluten free options

This place has a great atmosphere. They have all the normal coffee house menu items and theres also a kitchen with decent service. Like most coffee places it has wi-fi and funky people aquarium window seats that overlook the street.

Great service. Love their wholesome food.

The food and atmosphere are great and the staff is very friendly

The atmosphere is great . Specially the food is vegan and good for the people who dont eat non vegetarian food .Also, decor is fabulous . The staff is good and they will provide you the proper information. I like all the food that I ordered. It was salad , Nachos, sandwich and tea . Overall it was a good experience

Amazing place and food!

Had the Cajun Chikn Paninni and Lentil soup, BEST RESTAURANT FOOD Ive had for a long time. It was delicious! I will order that again every time!

Beautiful space with colourful art on the walls. Friendly staff. Delicious meals!

Great, fully vegan menu with lots of options!

Made an unexpected stop in Fredericton and looking for a vegan joint Abbeys is the first we stumbled upon. So glad we did! Great service, cute restaurant with lots of delicious options! Next time we pass through well be making a planned stop here!

Great ambiance. Great food. Great service. Very affordable. Will return.

Lovely spot! Food was inexpensive and tasty. A must for vegans and vegetarians - or really anyone.

Great vibe!!! Awesome coffee. Excellent customer care and good value. We even took a plant home!!! A must go in Fredericton.

As a vegan I enjoy trying new vegan restaurants, loved the service, atmosphere and FOOD! Server recommended the special ( Tofu Caesar wrap and Lentil soup), out of this world good. Cheap price as well, my son and I had the same thing with a pop and bubbly water. Out the door for $27 with a $4 tip. Very very pleased with the whole experience, looked at the art on the wall thats for sale, smelled amazing in there also. Highly recommend it EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT VEGAN.

Cute cafe by the museums. The curry (with chick peas and seeds and zucchini spirals) was really hearty and filling and really tasty. The burrito and chocolate peanut butter cake were also delicious, and all of it a nice change after too many tourist-ing hamburgers and fish and chips.

Very nice experience. The food was very good. On the other hand, the employer took our order and made no effort to speak more slowly even though we do not understand French well.

A great choice in Fredericton for vegetarian and vegan food. Lots of choices and very friendly service. Casual environment with reasonable prices.

A great spot, especially if you are vegan, but even if youre not. Im not vegan, but this place has such a wonderful vibe, flavourful selection of foods and snacks, and great snacks. With seating both upstairs and downstairs, it still gets busy during rush hour, so get there early if youre dining in. Its also one of the very few options in the city for those choosing not to eat meat, so thumbs up for diversity as well. I had a cappuccino and their coconut curry. Delicious and packed with ingredients, you certainly wont leave hungry.

Few days ago I was there and I had a very good sandwich with a good soup.

Food was ok. Friendly environment though. The people are great and the restaurant was very clean

Loved the food every time Ive visited the Abbey. The sandwich/panini I love the most is the beet one with aioli dressing.

The food and service is remarkable. I strongly suggest that if youre interested in vegetarian food this is the best place to find it in Fredericton I went there for my birthday and it was the best food I had ever had.

This is really great place guys everybody loves your profession prochaine things and we really had a great time can we look forward to seeing you in the suit future highly recommended if anybody is looking for a good place to have a great time and sit down relax and checkout the scenery this is the spot really really really enjoyed our time there and meet my colleagues cant wait to go back and see you guys again soon thanks so much for everything these guys are excellent customer service and we just love you guys and hope to see you real soon and have a great year

Excellent homemade style food. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Definitely coming back again and again.

I had The Abby panini and it was delicious! The service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere was very cozy. Everyone else I was with really enjoyed their food too.

What of my favourite places to lounge and be with friends. Such a great atmosphere!

So so so good!! I bring all my friends here

Super friendly and helpful staff and the atmosphere is terrific!

Wonderful service and delicious vegan food with nice patio seating on a bustling street. Our server was super courteous and knowledgeable of the area. The food was served to us on three patio in a very reasonable time. They have a very good menu of filling and nutritious vegetarian food. We had the coconut curry and the cajun chickn burrito with pumpkin spice chocolate chip cookies. Definitely recommend the place. Well be back for sure!

These people have redefined what I thought north American vegetarian food was. All of their selections are tasty and are perfect for many different types of palates.

The food was sooooo good and we went in 10 min before closing and the cashier was so nice she prepared stuff in minutes and ah it was delicious !! Recommended !!

Have gone here multiple times and has always been great food at all times. 10/10

Delicious vegan food!!! Wonderful atmosphere. Prices and portions are great. Highly recommended for lunch or dinner!

Good place for vegan dishes

Awesome staff, atmosphere and most of all, food!

A nice variety of vegan and vegetarian food. Food was delicious, and services was quick.

I got to experience the Abbey for the first time a few weeks ago, (ive heard many rave reviews) and wow was I not disappointed! Great food, fun atmosphere and excellent service! Thank you for having so many delicious options available for Gluten Free & Vegan!

1st time visiting the Abbey and Ciderhouse. What a great experience. I learned a lot about ciders and was able to view some beautiful art.

Great food at ok prizes

Best vegan food Ive had!

Food is always amazing. We go here every time we come to Fredericton. All the staff are super friendly and accommodating. The cider house sharing the space is definitely a bonus.

Delicious vegan food even die hard meat and potato people will enjoy. Fun board games and book downstairs while you eat too!

Very good cider. Disappointed with nice. Pleasant staff

Nice place and nice staff. The place is shared with the Red Rover Ciderhouse

literally the best place to go in Freddy! kind & talkative staff, awesome atmosphere and i should definitely mention that the music playing in there was perfect! one thing that s hella cute was the free plants in the bathroom. definitely coming back next time im in town <3

We loved the Abby! We actually went in not knowing it was vegan and came out over satisfied! The Nachos are a must try!!

Beautiful place to eat and lounge around in this beautiful town. We were in town from Ontario to drop our daughter off. University towns are full of creativity in all sorts of things, food being one that all of us can enjoy. Abounds in vegan and vegetarian dishes. Cyder bar. Just the ambience is worth the bill. That one can eat delicious meals without leaving a mountain of trash and killing is planet is a concept worth paying for. No plastics. All China dishes. Tap water. Try their soups. Amazing. All sandwiches are great. Staff is amazing.

Good food but the service was really slow

Probably the only vegetarian option I came across in Fredericton. The food was okay but somewhat bland. The coffee and zucchini muffin I got were pretty good.

Excellent food and service.

Best Vegan options in Fredericton!

Beet and vegan feta panini is to die for.

Stumbled upon this place and it was lovely! Coffee was amazing and so was the friendly staff. Great food, and snacks! I had a wrap the first time around and came back for coffee several times after during my stay. Seems to have something on the menu for everyone!

Enjoyed their service and food

Such a great place! It has such a atmosphere at night too! They always have great specials and good beer as well. The staff are super nice and the music choices are the best! It s a great place for a date night and has lots of vegetarian options!

Always enjoyed the food here, but Ive got to take some stars off for a recent development. The beet panini used to come with creamy, tangy goat cheese on it, which complemented the beets beautifully; now there is only vegan feta, no dairy option. Its not like this is a dish that had meat in it, it was already vegetarian, but apparently it had to become a vegan dish. Fair enough, but the vegan feta didnt taste like anything (a faint hint of nuttiness every now and then - I imagine its made of nuts) and made one side of the bread completely saturated with oil (its already buttered but the side with the cheese was translucent with grease). There was no briny saltiness, no tang, no nothing. Maybe it tastes OK crumbled up in a salad but it just disappeared in this. Please bring back the dairy option: I say this as a Greek who knows her feta and someone who thoroughly enjoyed two dishes (the beet and goat cheese panini, the Abbey Bowl) that relied heavily on a dollop of creamy goat cheese goodness.

Best vegetarian fare around! A cider house shares a space with this restaurant with tasty drinks!

Love this place when I go to Freddy. Its cute and cozy. The beer is great and the vegan food doesnt not disappoint!
