Excellent coffee tea and chai, plus snacks (lemon raspberry muffin is my favorite) and weekend breakfast specials make this place soooo wonderful to have in my workspace.

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.

Chili soup was amazing. They were very considerate when I asked about my gluten allergy.

I don’t often leave reviews because I love to focus on the positive, but I wanted to share my experience from this past Sunday morning. I stopped by the café to treat myself to a pistachio latte and a toasted bagel with cream cheese, which came to about $16.
While I had high hopes for my visit, things didn’t quite go as planned. I ended up waiting over 15 minutes, which felt like a long time for just a couple of items. When my order finally arrived, I was really looking forward to my latte, but unfortunately, it wasn’t as flavorful as I had hoped. Overall, I left feeling a bit disappointed, but I’m still grateful for the cozy atmosphere and the chance to try something new!

The perfect matcha latte, strong, balanced creaminess and earthiness from oat milk tempering and complementing matcha's bitter edge, hand whisked - not from a sweetened concentrate. Such love in all the details here, from their drinks to the atmosphere to the service. What a gift to the entire space, the artists' studios, having this cafe as a warm, smiling welcome in.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. I enjoyed the americano and muffin. They immediately fixed a small issue with the americano. Plenty of seating to study with pleasant instrumental background music.
Thank you.

Not personable. Better options around, like Kim's Donuts.

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write a review! My husband and I are obsessed with this place. The fantastic coffees are only the half of it. The owners and staff are incredible and add so much light into our Lowell community 🫶🏽
This is a hidden gem nestled in among the 300+ artists of Western Avenue Studios!

Wanted to try a Vietnamese coffee spot and this place did not disappoint. I tried the caramel egg foam latte with almond milk and it has to be one of the best iced coffees I’ve ever had. I also got the bacon egg and cheese and asked for the bacon well done and they delivered that pig was crisppyyyy. Girls behind the counter were wonderful. 10/10 experience. Do not miss out on trying this spot!! It’s also inside some arts store thing cute vibes.

I have been here twice and got a cappuccino each time! The workers are all incredibly nice and helpful. The coffee both times was perfect! I can’t say that about many coffee shops! They have a great thing going here you should go visit!!

I love this cafe. It’s always quiet and cozy inside. Everyone on staff is so nice and I have gotten so many great drink recommendations. Nibbana is a must if you are in the area.
