Cordell's - Abilene

They have dozens of flavors of olive oils, Balsamic, and vinegars. For what they are the prices are surprisingly very low for very high quality. I use the traditional Balsamic on nearly everything I cook. I wish I would have found this place years ago

Such a cool little shop and place of dining. I love this shop! You gotta come by for the coffee, huge selection of olive oils and spices, and the brunch! A must see! Edit: I wrote my initial review the moment I walked in. Let me tell you about my experience here because it was so worth the stop. I came in with my wife, and we ordered brunch. There was a little mix up, and the owner apologized profusely and their chef threw in a lovely dessert for our trouble. I absolutely LOVE this place. I will never buy olive oil anywhere else, and I can see myself getting a latte here every weekend. Please come by this amazing local place and support these fine people!

This was my first visit here. I went for lunch not knowing what to expect but I heard it was good. They did not disappoint. The store and restaurant are kept very nice and clean. The staff was really helpful as well. I had a pear chicken salad that was topped with oils that Cordell's sells. It was delicious! I also tasted the chicken salad sandwich that my friend had as well. It was also fantastic. We then stepped over to their store, which is in the same building, and purchased some of the oils that we had just eaten in our lunches. The owner, Joy, came out to check on us while we ate and then later waited on us while we chose the oils we wanted to purchase. We had a great experience and we will be back!

The tomato soup is always fabulous! We had the “happy mistake” salad and it was so good!

LOVE this place! The food is so clean and healthy.. I never feel weighed down after eating here. Its hard to make a food recommendation because I cant say I've tried something yet I didnt like... but my favorite is probably the tomato soup. Honestly I've always hated tomato soup but I eat theirs often! Plenty of beautiful salads on the menu too : Not your average! I recommend the farmers. Btw, be sure you ask about their daily special before you order (or find it on FB . FYI the store is open til 6 pm BUT the kitchen closes at 2 daily! You CAN however ask for your meal by 2 pm and they'll keep it waiting til you're ready to come pick it up! How awesome is that? I hope it gives a sense of how lovely the owners are because they really are good people. They care about their customers a great deal and often express their appreciation. This isnt just a restaurant its also kind of a mini grocery store! They have fresh eggs and milk plus about a 50 different top of the line olive oils and balsamics! Lots of other goodies from local or other small, responsible businesses. Stop in and check it out! I dont buy my oil from anywhere else because the difference in taste is very noticeable. They also have a very good autumn spice latte. Cordells, Id really love it if yall brought back weekend brunches and the weekly soup specials. The menu is a bit lacking on hot options.
