“I always come here with my Husband after my infusion. I love that atmosphere; however, if you have sensory stuff definitely want headphones.

The staff is always patient and kind.

The food is delicious, hi carb.

They have deals often and an app to earn free drinks.“

“Oh My Gods! This place! Came here with a friend who has celiacs and what a find. The food is incredibly flavorful, the portions are amazing, the Lavender coffee is amazing, and the current soup of the day is Chefs kiss!! Amazing, overall I recommend it to everyone!! Will most certainly be returning.“

“Such a great first experience! Friendly, clean and absolutely delicious! Thanks, we will be back❤️“

“Having been to Cambodia a couple times, I like Khmer food and it’s not always easy to find. I was in Lowell for an appointment and seeing how many Cambodian restaurants there were in the area, I picked this spot for lunch. The food was so delicious - I had the combination stuffed chicken wing and beef sausage, which came with a nice bowl of herbal chicken soup, pickled veggies and rice. It’s a small, hole in the wall restaurant run by a nice family and it’s reasonably priced. I’ll definitely come back.“

“Stopped for the first time today, after driving past it numerous times over the last several years while my daughter is in college. I had the Smoked Caprese Panini and it was easily one of the best sandwiches I have ever had! It is also very welcoming inside and everyone is super nice and friendly. I will be back!“

“TUDO UMA DELÍCIA , lugar aconchegante I LOVE !!! Recomendo!!“

“Coffee I’ve had at The Acton Coffee house has been very good. I had a cortado last time and it was delicious. Staff is courteous and responsive. They don’t have a huge selection of things to eat but what I’ve had has been of good quality.“

“very yummy food. Excellent service!“

“We would highly recommend Crossroads Cafe, delicious food, great atmosphere & friendly waitstaff. A family run & established restaurant for years.“

“Excellent, delicious food. Gluten free options available for pizzas and sandwiches. The cauliflower crust is thin and ideal. Soup is in a pot and slightly salty. Sandwiches have lots of meat, caramelized onion and are filling. Build your own option also turned out great.“

“So awesome to have this adorable, high quality and convenient market, just seconds up the road. 🥩🫑💐“

“staff were wonderful and food was great! staff seemed like they enjoyed their job.“

“Amazing gluten free cafe and bakery. We had the peach grilled cheese, pancakes, and a breakfast sandwich and all 3 were amazing. My fiancé was diagnosed with celiac 15 years ago and she said it’s the best pancake she’s had since she was diagnosed. We also got iced coffees, both were delicious. The sweets we brought home all look and taste amazing. Very allergen friendly.“

“Golden Tea is honestly a hole in the wall. I tried it for the first time with no expectations since Lowell is filled with boba shops, but I am pleasantly surprised at how good the drinks are and now I am addicted 🌝 The jasmine milk tea is just so good, and pairing it with their boba which is just the right amount of chewiness makes the drink all the more tastier. Their Golden Fruit Tea is also very refreshing, not too citrusy, not too sweet, a very good mix. And of course I had to try a drink from their Butterfly series because HELLO blue tea!!! We got the Lychee Lemon Butterfly and it’s so good. Can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu 🤣 also the shop itself is so aesthetically pleasing.“

“Met some friends there today and turns out it's a great spot to sit and chat. Food was excellent - had an avocado toast caprese style. And a nice hot tea. Service was excellent even though it was really busy. The woman who worked the counter had a nice positive friendly attitude throughout our time there. The staff helped me out of a jam when I left something there - they went above and beyond for me. Many thanks - love this place! ⭐️“

“We went here on a whim to do the indoor skydiving.

Got here and tried to purchase a Groupon for immediate use but apparently they can't honor Groupons unless they are 24 hours old. (Just how the system works.) Went with just having my daughter go, which was pretty pricey but I guess it seemed worth it. They upsold me on the "go higher" package, which I'm sure she enjoyed, but don't get the photo/video package unless you are okay with uncut fisheye video of the session plus another upsell of a photo package. (Photos aren't by a professional photographer... just one of the employees with a dSLR and direct flash.) They do allow you to take photos and video from the outside, though... but the Plexiglass is very smudged and streaky, and the lighting works against you if you view from the outside.

The instructor, Alex, was great with everyone, though. Everyone was VERY friendly and accommodating. Despite the price and the stuff I mentioned, I would recommend a visit as long as you have the dough to spend.“

“Dana helped us plan our girls baptism and got every detail perfect and the food was incredible. She went above and beyond to make the day special for us and we could not be more grateful. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using for our future events!“

“I had the best chicken sandwich the bread was amazing and toasted to perfection, paired it with an Italian Hot Cocoa. Not to mention the great and friendly service I highly recommend the Church Street Cafe for breakfast, lunch and dinner. 😁“

“They make everything fresh, every day they're open. Baker is top notch! Try the almond or chocolate croissants - they're marvelous! Yum-o-rama! Coffee is incredible too....“

“I first tried this place while working at one of the businesses in the industrial park in which it is situated. But I’m pretty sure anyone can eat here during hours of operation. There was a hot grill with rotating daily specials as well as fresh cold sandwiches and grab&go items. Prices were reasonable and the location is very convenient to the nearby businesses.“

“Breakfast is great. And good prices“

“I go here for coffee and a bagel while my wife gets her hair done. I keep coming back and enjoy the great coffee and bagel. My wife bought me a gift card because she knew I enjoyed it here so much. The people are very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend Panera “

“Everything!! It’s a great place!“

“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.“

“FABIOLA, Manager & VALERIE always provides exceptional customer service! It is always so nice to see their big smiles and always feeling welcomed. I also see it consistently with other customers as well! They are truly assets! They are also always so calm no matter how busy the lunch rush is. It is commendable. In addition to all that they are human angels on earth! I had lost my purse on May 23rd (sorry for the delay, been meaning to do this sooner) and called a couple of times and the first person I spoke with was a man who told me it wasn’t there and I asked him to check the bathroom and he again told me it wasn’t turned in. Later I called and thankfully the call was answered by the Manager, Fabiola who sincerely apologized that the other employee told me it wasn’t there because it actually was there the whole time and I was SO extremely grateful and relieved to both her and Valerie who found it and kept it safe for me! I appreciate you, FABIOLA & VALERIE so much! They wouldn't even accept money as a reward! They told me that they were just happy to have found it and to have it returned to me as they understood the feeling of losing a purse. They were just so extremely kind and really always go the extra mile with a smile! Please recognize and promote these exceptional star employees!!! Forever grateful and appreciative to you both! Christina“

“great cook to order food. friendly atmosphere toys games and coloring books for the kids if it's not on the menu ask they may have it.“

“I ordered two duck themed cakes for my one year old daughter's birthday, they made a beautiful, delicate decoration and the flavor was wonderful, they took care to call me to ask about the decoration and I was delighted and very happy when I saw it and after I ate the cake!“

“They offer a wide variety of gluten friendly meals! It’s all so good! They even sell fresh veggies from their gardens.“

“I LOVED IT. THEY HAD PERFECT, SENT-FROM-HEAVEN BAO'S. A little overpriced, but worth the money 100%“

“Oh how I love stumbling upon great little hidden gem restaurants with great service and an overall "homey" vibe. As soon as we arrived to Mill City BBQ we felt welcome here all thanks to Renay, the sweet lady that took care us of at the bar top a few nights ago. Come to find out, she's the owner and boy does she know how to run a restaurant! They had some excellent barbecue“
