10 Best Cafes in Lowell

“Tried the cheeseburger, Rangoon, buffalo chicken and classic pork. Hands down for me the classic are amazing!!! Cannot wait to visit again. Super friendly staff!“

“I tried Cambodian food for the first time here and absolutely loved it! I had the stuffed chicken wings and kaw ko and both were incredibly tasty and aromatic. The whole experience felt less like being at a restaurant and more like being a guest in someone’s home, I felt so welcome. Excellent, super friendly service from Phila. Definitely coming back!“

“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.“

“Delicious and wide variety to choose from“

“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.“

“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! ⭐️“

“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“

“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!“
