I've been vegetarian for 25 years and almost all restaurants I have to search around for what might be good and perhaps be made vegetarian. At Old Abe you have to remind yourself it is all vegetarian so the question is just which yummy thing do I want. Decor is fun. Parking is mildly different for Rochester as it's on the street rather than big dedicated surface lot. My only request is that you get some spoons. I have asked for one but been told they have none. The big rice spoon like is used in SE Asia is what I'm hoping for.
Cannot believe I've never tried this place before!! The staff is absolutely AMAZING!!! Everyone on staff is helpful, patient and happy to make suggestions on what they love and help make the decision process easier ❤I got the BANH MI " The sandwich that made them famous." I see why; this sandwich is mouth watering delicious!!! I also got the Vietnamese Vegan coffe and WOW! Also incredibly delicious! Finally found a place close to home for AMAZING vegan food! Thank you to everyone at Old Abe for making this place possible! Keep up the amazing work!!!?*also, if you like hot.....their chili sauce is FIRE!
It is one of the best donuts places that I’ve ever been to. The vibe, the donuts, the drinks, and the people over there. It’s a 10/10.
This is hands down, my favorite vegan restaurant in a hundred mile radius!!! I have become obsessed with the Banh Mi, aye-yi-yi!! Now that I know something so delicious and murder-free exists I just can’t stop putting it in my mouth ahhh. There’s such a delight of various fresh flavors that come to light in that sandwich, I get mine with the “pork that’s not pork” and all the fixins and jalapeños, mmm!!! Big enough sandwich for a snack later, right on!!Oh, and if a little of your sandwich falls out.. mmm… scoop it up with a chip!!! Drool.
I haven’t eaten any of their sandwiches yet but clearly I enjoyed their donuts the two weeks I was in town. They were delicious and had fun flavors. If you love donuts this place is for you!! The staff is great and always friendly! Their coffee and donuts are a great combination for me and my mornings. Last thing I did before I left town was make sure I left with some donuts. Don’t worry though it’s like what Arnold Schwarzenegger always says “ I’ll be back!” ?
Nice little coffee shop. Friendly staff. Kind of reminds me of a hippie café one might find in California. Ordered a dozen donuts to go which turned out to be a crowd pleaser.
I am not a vegan myself but this food was delicious and healthy. The atmosphere is groovy and colorful.We came at an odd time so the place only had a couple of customers. It is perfect to either come for a casual lunch or alone to be by yourself. They have donuts and beers.After the meal I felt better about life in general. Unique place in Rochester, IMO.
Probably one of the best coffee shops ever existed. Very friendly staff. We got turnover cold brew and dirty chai tea latte and it was amazing! The turnover was so fresh!
I mean, look at this vegan beauty ? one of my favorite spots (vegan or not) in Rochester.
Impressive vegan restaurant! The service is great and the food is so good. The prices are reasonable and the portions large. I ordered many items and enjoyed eating the Bahn Mi and the BLT the most. The grilled cheese was good and the giant spring roll was indeed giant. I wish I could go back and get more.
