It all started with a very good coffee and a nice, relaxed atmosphere. Then the word got out that Monks Coffee Shop in downtown Abilene is a cool spot to relax with friends with your favorite java, check your email, or just unwind after a hard work day. Today it is one of the most popular coffee shops in town, spacious and cozy, with comfy sofas, small scattered tables, mismatched chairs, and a great selection of cold and hot drinks. There are also live music concerts, poetry evenings, and other events, so check their weekly programs.
