“The BEST breakfast sandwich ANYWHERE!!!!
Had ham and cheese on French toast bagel, AMAZING!!!!
Ice coffee was perfect, and my wife’s hot coffee was hot and delicious.
Been by this place next to Market Basket many many times but first and NOT LAST time we will be stopping in!!!“

“I have stopped at the cafe a couple of times already for either a salad or a cup of soup. Today, I decided on a hot panini. I discussed a type of bread with the staff and ordered a grilled chicken panini. It was nicely served and yummy. I liked that the bread had sesame seeds on it. Also, a piece of pickle added a nice flavor to my lunch.This cafe has a plenty of space. People come as well in groups to enjoy a great selection of food and their company. Highly recommend it.“

“extremely fresh breakfast sandwich we just had so good and excellent baklava too very impressed“

“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.“

“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.“

“Lu’s cafe is second to none when it comes to coffee! Authentic and tasty! Friendly staff and a beautiful atmosphere. They deserve all the hype for all their hard work and great food. 100% recommend you try their Viet Mocha Special. Perfect amount of sweetness and the coffee flavor still strong.“

“One of the best spots in Lawrence. Folks there are friendly, the place has very warm vibes, and the food is incredible. 10/10
If I had any 'complaints', coffee machine was down for awhile, it's called 'cafe' and that implies a few things, have only been back for dinners, not sure if that's been fixed yet! but otherwise seriously it's essential Lawrence dining you gotta check it out.“

“today was the first time eating there, excellent service, the best home fries I have had so far.“

“Amazing Gluten free options! My fiancé stopped here on a work trip and tried the Tom Brady (Gluten free of course) and then she begged me to go back during the weekend so I could try their coffees and goodies myself. We will definitely be going back!!“

“Excellent service, good environment, friendly and respectful customer service. Plates are very well portioned and decent prices and food is prepare carefully and with love to the gastronomical industry. SUPER TASTEFULLY SEASONED!!! I definitely will return and recommend it to anyone with a desire of a traditional DOMIRICAN CULTURE.. 🇩🇴♥️🇵🇷“

“Came here on a Saturday morning to do some writing and enjoy a hot cup of coffee and breakfast. I ordered a latte and a Turkey Sausage Avocado breakfast burrito. The service was super pleasant across the board, and the location is staffed to help take care of orders, keep things clean, and deliver food to customers.

My burrito was massive and honestly quite tasty, filled with hot ingredients and had me filled up! The latte was good but nothing too special.

Overall this place seems really well managed, very friendly, and offers plenty of seating and space.“

“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! ⭐️“

“very yummy food. Excellent service!“

“This place has the best coffee in town. Their breakfast sandwiches are to die for. Lunch menu is just as good. Cookies, scones and muffins are all delicious. The owners Peter and Siri bend over backwards to please their customers. The register and serving crew Lisa and Isabel are great.“

“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.“

“Stopped in today around 2 for brunch. Everything was delicious! We had the lemonade and the pineapple mimosas, and a berry smoothie to start. Then two of us had the caramel banana French toast, and one had the Bennies. We will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Coffee Coffee is the tops. The coffee is outstanding & it's a place where anyone can feel at ease. I've moved away, but I still dream of & miss this place. It's got so much heart...rare gem.“

“Came for the stringy hash and it didn't disappoint! Home fries where we'll seasoned without being over salted. Loved the maple beans and homemade lemonade that wasn't over sugared. Our new favorite place!“

“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. 😁“

“egg sandwich beats take-out McDonald's, burger King, Wendy's. close to True North. I'm biased as it's walking distance for me. Mike trying“

“I go here every morning and the staff has now felt like family to me. Most kindest people and by far the best coffee and bagels around. This location will forever be my favorite.“

“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!“

“Delicious Stuffed French Toast and very friendly service !“

“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.“

“the atmosphere is cozy and warm. Delicious martini choices. Huge portions for a reasonable price. Would recommend this place to everyone.“

“I was recently visiting the Stoneham areas and tried out Kennedy’s and had a great experience! The atmosphere is wicked welcoming. The young girl, I believe her name was Carissa or Krisa made the best tiramisu iced latte ever! I can’t wait to come back!“

“Breakfast is great. And good prices“

“Everything!! It’s a great place!“

“Always order from here QUICK, friendly and food amazing and the deals they have can’t beat . Also I had a PASTA sample today and OMG it so bomb I hope they add it to the menu“

“Love this Cafe! the food was AMAZING and the atmosphere was great! I definitely recommend this Cafe to anyone here in Boston. We will be here again! ❤️“

“Great place for home cooked food. Always a very friendly and professional atmosphere. Sharon's daughter Stephanie sometimes works the counter and I will say she is just as friendly/professional. Also not bad on the eyes if I do say so myself.“

“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.“

“This may be the cutest bagel shop I've ever been to. While visiting from out of town I had the chance to check out this gem and loved everything about it - from the welcoming atmosphere and entertaining pictures, to the most amazing asiago bagel I have tasted, to the incredible service. My family and I wish we had this bagel shop in CO... it's the best!“

“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.“

“Empower Café is more than just a coffee shop—it's a community anchor. Every time I visit, I’m blown away by the welcoming vibe, the attention to detail, and the sense of purpose behind the place. You can tell the owner put real heart into this space—it's not just about great coffee (which is fantastic), it’s about building connections and honoring something bigger.

The food is fresh, the drinks are on point (highly recommend the cold brew and breakfast panini), and the staff genuinely cares. You don’t feel like a customer—you feel like a friend.

If you're anywhere near Reading or just passing through, stop in. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite, meeting up with friends, or just need a quiet place to think, Empower delivers. Places like this are rare. Support it—you’ll be glad you did.“

“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 “

“Best croissants and berliners in Massachusetts.“

“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!“

“Cafe Nero never disappoints. The food and their cafe stores always deliver amazing coffee, lattes and sandwiches. Love this store location with its huge large viewing windows. Also, it’s so nice to be served by actual baristas that know really how to make a good latte and cappuccino. So much more exquisite than Starbucks and Dunkin Doughnuts. Just make sure to get in early and find a seat because it does get very busy and popular with the locals.“

“Wicked good coffee - Reading and Tewksbury.“

“I go here every morning and the staff has now felt like family to me. Most kindest people and by far the best coffee and bagels around. This location will forever be my favorite.“

“Great atmosphere and friendly staff“

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

“Absolutely the best pharmacy and small business ever! They are incredibly knowledgeable about pharmaceuticals and caring about all their customers. There is never much of a wait. Would not consider taking my business anywhere else. LOVE LOVE LOVE Goldenseal!!“

“Outstanding customer service! Will be back!“

“Caffe Nero makes me say goodbye to Starbucks for good! ? The handcrafted coffee is WAYYY better here with consistent good quality. I love the pastries especially the multigrain croissant. The barista is very efficient and friendly.

One of my pet peeve is I always prefer ACTUAL dishware while dining in and Caffe Nero does that!! It makes the dining experience like 10x better. This cafe has great atmosphere for you to sit back and enjoy your cup of joe. It is a great spot to recharge after all the shopping.

Don’t forget to download their app and start to work towards a free coffee!“
