18 Best Coffee Shops in Lowell

“Two years ago I switched my allegiance from Haute Coffee in Concord, MA to Nibbana Cafe in Lowell. While the coffee at Haute is indeed very good (Counter Culture beans, not local), I find the staff there a bit impersonal. Seating is also quite limited. Nibbana has equally good coffee (if not better, which is really saying something), provided by Tiny Arms, a local roaster. There is plenty of seating and parking at their location at Western Avenue Studios. The coffee is generally light-to-medium roast and they offer an array of interesting, unusual coffee drinks (I only drink espresso, straight, so I can't comment on those). At the time of this review, they have been cranking out lots of new food items. The staff is extremely friendly, always offering a welcoming smile and an enthusiastic "Enjoy!" when I pick up my order. The owners truly live by what Buddhists call "right living". They are very community-focused, and it shows. If you haven't checked out Nibbana, you're really missing out on a special place.“

“The Coffee Mill Emporium is truly one of those rare places that feels like home the moment you walk through the door. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, and the kind of genuine friendliness you find here is something you don’t come across often. Pina and Veronica are the heart of it all. They not only make incredible coffee, they make every visit feel personal. They always remember the locals’ orders, greet you with a smile, and somehow manage to brighten even the toughest mornings. Their kindness, consistency, and authentic care for the community make this place stand out in the best possible way.“

“What a hidden little gem. Had the carne do sol sandwich and it was as delicious as it looked! Shredded beef had so much flavor and the garlic sauce was just the right touch. House coffee was well made as well. But the shining star here was Mary. What a pleasure and an asset to this place she is! She made our visit worth a second visit coming soon!“

These gentlemen were so accommodating and friendly and I totally appreciate it big time

Dietary restrictions: I like the oat milk big time and vegetarian food, we could use more“

“This is the best Dunkin’ Donuts. I’ve gone to Dunks in Boston, Haverhill and everywhere in between this team is amazing. They are customer focused. They get the job done and they go above and beyond to put a smile on peoples faces this morning, It’s 10° out the manager brings out my coffee to my car while I’m waiting in line I couldn’t ask for a better Dunkin’ Donuts thank you guys for everything you do.“

“Cool, creamy, and so refreshing!
The coconut coffee slush is the perfect summer treat—especially if you love coffee. It’s made with strong brewed coffee, coconut cream, and ice, all blended into a smooth and delicious drink. The sweet, nutty coconut flavor pairs perfectly with the bold coffee taste. So good it gave me a brain freeze—totally worth it!

Surprisingly, this tea shop did an amazing job! The drink was just right, and the staff were super friendly and clearly knew what they were doing. If you're looking for something cold and tasty on a hot day, this is a must-try. For sure, I’m looking forward to coming back to try the Taro tea slush next!“

“Manager is always pleasant and makes amazing coffees. She trains new staff so calmly and reassures them they're doing a great job.

I went in today (she wasn't in) and got an iced tea. It wasn't steeped enough, but her staff simply offered to make me something else without question. Quality DD and staff!“

“Every sandwich is made with fresh ingredients and that crunchy bread everyone loves. It’s the kind of place where you feel welcomed the moment you walk in. If you want to support a hardworking local family business and enjoy great food, definitely come check it out!!“
