19 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.“

“love this place, my daughters favorite donuts around. The family remembers us and always tosses in some Xtra munchins for her. super nice and friendly family“

“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.“

“Rosie’s Café is NOT Permanently closed. Don’t know how this got on here but it’s not.“

“This place is the definition of a HIDDEN GEM. My boyfriend and I wanted to grab a quick bite after the gym and we came across El Bunker on Google. When we walked in we were greeted by Camilla who is the sweetest! She was making Pão de Quiejo and they were AMAZING. (even better than fogo de chao in my opinion)We both got the Cuban sandwich which was so yummy. The bread was toasted and the garlic sauce really made the sandwich. I also got the guava shake and it was delicious and my boyfriend got a coffee with condensed milk which he loved.This place deserves more recognition for the quality of food and service they provide. Definitely will be visiting more!“

“Came in to DD on Central St, the man was very helpful and explained everything to me I Inquired about, however, I noticed immediately the place was immaculate and this is the first time I have encountered that at this DD. 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“

“Delicious and wide variety to choose from“

“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.“

“One of the very few Dunkins that get your order correct“

“love love love their soft,sweet,huge pillows of love that they call "vanilla cream filled donut" 😋🍩 the fruity pebbles donut is texturally amazing on top of the sweet creamy love pillow 😂 thanks guys for keeping this girl chunky ❣️ 🤣“

“Same menu as any other Starbucks. If you go here in between classes good luck getting your coffee quickly. Sometimes the lines back up to a 15 minute wait at least if it's before or after a class. Theres pretty much no like of you go during class though. No one really talks to you while you stand in line and the Staff Is usually just busy making orders. They work well under pressure though.“

“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!“
