Here, you will find yourself in a truly quaint little café nestled within the heart of the historic downtown district of Barnstable.Nirvana Coffee Co. offers a variety of delicious treats, including vegan and gluten-free baked goods, for those sourcing these options. As well as plenty of lattes/coffee drinks to choose from. The counter staff are friendly and happy to make beverage suggestions, shall you feel indecisive in regards to what to order. My spouse and I ordered a pistachio and Mayan Moka latte. We immensely enjoyed our coffee experience here. The tone really sets the calmness of ambiance here. Time drifted by us while sitting at the counter tables in front of the window facing the outside to the picturistic courthouse. We ended up chatting with friendly locals seated next to us and were whisked away in good conversation to what felt like simpler times. This cafe is a true gem on the Cape not to be missed.

Nice little spot. Place to go before or after stress from court appearanceNot to sure about these plastic tea bags that come with a plastic tag and weird string feeling plastic coming from the tea bag.Heat releases more microplastics into waterFigure a coffee place would think about the location they are at more than money!

Great coffee but some people working the counter lack basic social skills. I always say thank you to the server but often get a blank stare in return, including this morning. Owner needs a chat about basic customer interaction in my opinion.

Coffee was lousy. The dark roast had a rancid taste and no coffee flavor. The muffin was good.

Lovely place to stop for a quick bite to eat and a drink. Staff is always pleasant and helpful. I've only ever had good drinks and sandwiches from here. Never a bad cup. The ambiance is pleasant. Lots of seating, indoor and out. Two bathrooms inside. Free wifi. Plenty of parking. Last time I came I got a lavender & honey latte. ?
Got a gluten free pumpkin muffin - SPECTACULAR. if you are gluten free, you know most gluten free foods are dry; not this muffin, it was so moist and delicious. so many gluten free food options, it was awesome!! Also got an iced matcha with lavender and it was scrumptious. 11/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone.
Such a cute coffee shop! Located in the really cute town of Barnstable, the drive to the shop is worth it alone! It’s super cozy inside (they also have nice outdoor benches!), they have a lot of different coffee and tea latte combinations and the coffee is strong! Could see myself spending a lot of time in here! It’s a def must stop!

Came here on the way out of the cape and am so grateful that we found this spot. There was a line, but it moved relatively fast as different employees were helping out different customers. There were fall options that they offered but I didn't know until we were about to pay. We ordered a horchata latte and a lavender + honey chai latte, both hot and large. I can proudly say that this was some of the best coffee we've had on the east coast -- and that's saying something as I've lived in all 3 states of the tri-state and currently live in the DMV (DC MD VA) area. The horchata latte had a nice roasted taste to it, and it wasn't too sweet -- more cinnamon-y. The lavender honey chai was sweet, almost like a bubble tea/boba if you've tried one before but of course without the tapioca balls. The drinks we got complemented each other and kept us going as we drove back down for 8 hours in Hurricane Lee's remnants (which was coastal flooding, flash flood warnings, intermittent torrential downpour and an i95 closure in CT... I digress) Had we had more time, we would've sat in their lounge area-- good amount of seating and very cozy and welcoming. Note: there is a two hour sit time limit to accommodate other guests as well. Highly recommend Nirvana if you're on the Cape and passing by / nearby!

This is sadly not the first time I've bought a really bad cup of coffee here. This used to be one of my top go-to.s but no more. When they handed me the cup I could tell it wasn't hot. They offered to brew a new pot which would take 10 minutes so I declined. My question is: why don't you just keep a fresh pot going? It was a busy Sunday crowd. When I poured it out at home, I noticed it was super thin and watery. Dark roast? For the price, not again. It's a shame and as I said not the first time. There's other places to go.

Stopped here on a break from Cape Cod to Boston to get a quick iced vanilla latte. Strong coffee flavor and wasn't too heavy on the syrup or milk! Thanks to the warm, inviting interior with comfortable seating, the place is full of charm.

Great spot to stop for coffee and sandwiches - good vegan options; the portobello panini was delicious. Iced coffee was decent. Good amount of seating, staff were lovely. Thank you!
