22 Best Coffee Shops 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!“

“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.“

“We woke up early to try Kim’s Donuts because we heard so many positive reviews about this place. And, this is hands down one of the best places for high-quality freshly made donuts! The apple fritters were flavorful, studded with delicious apple pieces. Their classic glazed ones were also really good. They have the classic flavors, plus some fun flavors, and, they have Kolaches for those looking for something more on the savory side. The owner was super friendly too! Worth waking up early for when that craving hits you 🍩☕️“

“they were so kind! I came in 30 mins before closing with out realizing until I started eating my meal. They didn't rush me at all. I did leave prior to closing. I appreciate the good food and friendly atmosphere and kind staff. thank you! -Megan and service dog zorro“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 ❣️ 🤣“

“I had the BEST iced coffee butter latte yesterday. Nice vibe, didn't feel rushed at all. I will definitely be back.“

“Delicious and wide variety to choose from“

“Food: 5 stars Service: 4 stars Atmosphere: 5 stars. The food is excellent. Absolutely top-tier for breakfast, they have a wide variety of drinks and food and they never cease to amaze me. Atmosphere is excellent, looks very modern and excellent color combinations. Only problem is service, not because of the employees but rather the school nearby. Not blaming the kids, this is an incredible place for breakfast or a quick bite after a long day, but just do be weary of the lines at around 7:40 am-8: am and 2:50 pm to 3:10 pm about so on school days. Overall, this places food is to die for when it comes to breakfast and brunch.“

“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!“

“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“

“KFTlowell is the go to spot in DTL for a quick and refreshing drink! It has an extensive drinks menu and the space itself is modern and clean. Highly recommended!“

“Amazing and kind people showing love for the culture through their food. This is our second big event and their food was fantastic. They are consistently great, from small plates to large trays. Please try them, they’re wonderful!“

“First time ordering from here via Uber eats. Honestly very impressed with the pleah crab, the marinade is so tasty and addicting. The durian smoothie was heavenly perfection. Excellent lunch duo on a hot day like this. Excited to try her other entrees and refreshments.“

“I’m a big fan of bubble tea. I love the Thai milk tea with bubbles. It tastes amazing. I keep going there very often. The store is clean and neat. It can easily accommodate 20 people. Service time is quick, you should get your order within 5min. I felt the bubbles added was very less for a large serving. Parking could be an issue. You will have to find a street parking, which could be challenging over the weekends. Staff is friendly.“

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

“Great food-Great people 😊“

“Paulina was truly extremely kind to me and the staff were efficient (even though they were clearly packed and understaffed). My friends and I had only had positive experiences here. If anyone is to complain, they clearly have nothing better to “

“Excellent!!! That's how I feel after visiting this location and get that coffee in my hands. The team is always friendly and professional which makes writing this review a piece of cake. I come to this location because they always get it right!! I always try to work with Kelly since she is on point and I know she will get me started off on the right foot. Great location, fast service exceptional!!!“
