The owner said she knows it sounds scary, but I needed to try it. I'm so glad I did. It was a taste sensation! I paired that with their rosemary and olive oil chips in a bag and was in heaven. And I had it on Gluten Free bread, which was yummy, too. They cater to people with gluten or dairy intolerance. Even the pickle was gourmet! The tomato basil soup is super creamy and delicious, as well. I've also tried their coconut matcha green tea with almond milk at the suggestion of the barista and was thrilled. Don't be put off by the color! The ambiance is lovely here. You'll come back again and again!

I was unsure what to get, and have always loved London Fog Lattes and they recommended it on ice (it was only 85 mid evening). So freaking good!! My new favorite. I loved the merch fun and vibey.

While in Abilene for a wedding we were in desperate need of good coffee. We always like to try out…read morethe independent places so we decided to give this one a try. Walking in, the process is a little confusing as to where to go to order and then to pick up and how it works. Also the menu is kind of abnormally far away and high up. I had forgotten my glasses and someone had to read the menu to me. I ended up with the grilled chicken pesto sandwich and an iced caramel latte. The latte was good but the sandwich was a little boring but still good. My friends all got the ham and egg breakfast sandwich and enjoyed it as well as their coffee. There was plenty of seating and I think the building is an old train stop or something so it had a cool air about it. We went to go back to grab coffee and breakfast in our 2 hour drive back to the airport but unfortunately found them closed on a Sunday.. maybe next time :)

Located on the second story of a beautiful building in downtown Abilene sits Grain Theory, a brewpub and coffee shop towering over the city. It is a mixed indoor-outdoor space with plenty of shaded outdoor and cooled indoor seating. Looking at their tap list, my girlfriend and I were impressed by their unique beers to try. I started with the Strawberry Peach Tonic (Fruited Hard Seltzer) and she had a Bella Rose (Rosé IPA). Both were served in cool glasses, with mine being tall and skinny and hers being almost like a wine glass. Shocking to nobody, mine was quite fruity while her Rosé IPA was hoppy with an underlying rosé flavor. Next, I ordered their Oktoberfest (German Märzen) and she had their Season's End (Belgian Dubbel). She described her drink as tasting like a Biscoff cookie. My Oktoberfest was quite malty, and I was a big fan. To close, we both ordered their Luscent (Belgian Table Beer) because small beers are back in fashion and I wanted to try it. It was obviously very light but still had a good flavor that was very bready. Nice and easy to close out our drinks with. They also have food and coffee that we didn't try, but the food looked sensational from what we saw others eating. They also have plenty of board games and card games to play while you're at the brewery and many beers available to take to-go. My only minor complaint is the lack of TVs in the brewery. Maybe it's a purposeful decision, but Texas Tech was playing football, and it would be a great place to watch the game. The bartenders are very friendly and willing to let you try and sample as many beers as you need to make your decision. Grain Theory feels like the kind of place every small Texas city wishes it had. I am very excited to come back here and try more beers, especially with how excellent the space is. RIYL: Cool-shaped beer glasses or a rooftop bar

We also had the Wayfinder beer and a double express (yes, I had both). The fries were perfectly balanced with a touch of heat and a hint of blue cheese flavor. With the Wayfinder Pilsner, it was AMAZING! The bratwurst was traditional in its meat, with sweetness added to the onions. Mustard was mild but added the right amount of flavor. Altogether, I would eat here once a week if I lived in the community. Delicious and highly recommended!

I was one of the few first customers in the early morning hours around 6am however there was already a group of people meeting there. The interior is nicely decorated, they sell mugs, tumblers, shirts, breakfast sandwiches and pastries among coffee. I ordered the iced cinnamoon latte, it was a perfect balance of caffeine and cinnamon, it was no wonder as soon as I got it was gone, anyhow great pick me up for the long day ahead.

This alone is reason enough for me to stop by weekly and stock up on samples at .5oz or 2oz of my bi-weekly Bradley's No Name favorite. Probably adding a couple to that 1-2oz order soon. Thanks for carrying the torch and boohoo to downvoters too paranoid to understand the need for security or that their favorite shop "Bradley's" is a moment in time in the past and the new digs not being your old haunt doesn't deserve to have this great place tagged as anything but great.
