Nibbāna Café — Restaurant in Lowell

Consider this review my apology letter to Lowell. We moved here 2.5 years ago and I was aware of Nibbana Cafe. It was always on my radar, never went. Now we're moving and I wish I had come sooner.

It has everything I want. Good coffee, good food, spacious, and tucked away from all the hustle and bustle. There's only one way to get to it so there's little traffic and the people that come here do so intentionally. There's no shortage of guests; I visited on a late Tuesday morning and only a few tables were open and the Cafe had plenty of visitors.

I ordered a latte and a hot ham and cheese croissant. Both very good, though I would've loved some spicy mustard on the sandwich. The lady working the counter was so sweet and welcoming.

The Cafe, accessible at ground level, is a small part of a very large building that hosts 5 floors of individual art studios. Though most aren't open, there's plenty to see. Grab a coffee and walk around.

We'll be back before we say goodbye...

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...

Edit: The following review is for Tiny Arms coffee NOT for Nibbana which has recently taken over the space.

Let me summarize the comment section for all of my fellow coffee shop/coffee loving people. This is quite literally THE BEST coffee shop in town. Coffee? Five stars. Baked goods? AMAZING! Don’t even get me started on the owners because they are simply put THE NICEST, MOST PAITENT couple of barista's I've ever order from. Not to mention their knowledge on all things coffee/ceramic blows me away every time. Tiny Arms is consistent, friendly and most importantly so soo delicious so I totally recommend stopping in for a quick bite or a...
