    Lowell's most relaxing caffeinated working/relaxing space.
    Cliff H.

    Welcoming. Relaxing. Delicious. Eclipse is the newest addition to downtown Lowell's cafe scene and one not to be missed. Located slightly off the beaten path where the former Nibana Cafe was located: across the street from Lowell's city hall, Pollard Library, and a half dozen staples of Lowell's drinking/dining district. Eclipse fills an unfilled niche for that quiet, relaxing cafe with delicious coffee in a friendly environment that's actually conducive to curling up with a great book (perhaps from your local library!) or hammering on keyboard for your job that you're tired of spending in solitary confinement at home on the other end of a Zoom call that never ends. Here's a place that's welcoming to all, offers wonderful coffee, and is an easy jaunt across the trolley tracks right off downtown. Strong air conditioning in this steamy hot summer days of 2025 also make it a great place to visit when your home A/C goes out in the middle of the summer. Getting your car fixed at VIP? Skip the god-awful K-cups and obnoxious TV talking heads and swing by here to relax and treat yourself to a great cup of coffee. Picking up some books at your local library that's noticeably missing any coffee to keep your going during final exams or an all afternoon book marathon? Come get eclipsed by friendly service and extra caffeine. Walking to Market Basket or Olympus Bakery for some tasty food or pastries? Why not treat yourself to a tasty beverage to make that short walk/drive a bit more memorable? ProTip®: while you may have your personal favorite, consider branching out a bit and trying some of Eclipse's specialty lattes, particularly the fashionable Dubai Bar latte, which has just enough chocolate and coffee to balance itself out. All in all, if you're looking for coffee and an alternative to the hustle and bustle takeout focused cafes that dominate most of downtown Lowell, Eclipse Cafe is a must-see that may just become your new place to be!

    There's a brand-new café that opened this summer right in downtown Lowell -- conveniently located near City Hall with plenty of parking (a rare find!). They have a large selection& their pumpkin chai was pretty scrumptious and light . I've been stopping in regularly and getting to know the team -- the gentleman who works mornings really knows his blends, and the owner couldn't be more welcoming. It's great to see new small businesses thriving in the area and taking an interest in our local communities, including Jackson Street Lofts and 201 Canal! Welcome to the neighborhood. -Clarissa

That's challenge number one: limited hours largely catering to downtown workers who forgot to brew their own, better coffee at home. Challenge #2: cash only, no credit cards. Challenge #3: as others have said, zero about the space or employees welcomes you or thanks you for stopping in. Cafe space is classic corporate cafeteria seating, something you'd expect to see in a mall food court, with the bare minimum of carbohydrate-rich pastries, sandwiches, and coffee in a wall of pump carafes and foam coffee cups. While there's nothing wrong with a limited menu and basic store design if other elements of the cafe (service, flavor, etc) are up to par, in this case none of anything really tries much to live up to any standard of service or selection. In short, with all the other options in town Brew'd, Caleria, Life Alive, Cafe UTEC, Purple Carrot, Rosie's, Time Out, etc there's not much reason to go out of your way to work around this cafe's limited hours, run of the mill storefront, and nonchalant service.

    We arrived on a Saturday night after 6 PM during the Chinese and Vietnamese New Years weekend so I…read moredidn't have great expectations for what would be left. Everyone knows that you have to get to a Chinese bakery early in the morning for the freshness and availability of all their wonderful delights. The dessert/cake display case left much to be desired. Again, it could have been that we arrived later in the day but it didn't seem like there was anything pleasing to the eye. Usually I get super excited and over order the typical Chinese sweet treats and end up with a box full of green tea cakes, sponge fruit cakes, mango custard, and sweet rice cakes. I didn't care for anything here except something called the "Triple" baked bun with was three separate baked buns stuck together with custard, taro and red bean filling. The baked buns are displayed on a rolling bakery cart with each group of buns labeled accordingly. There was a great variety of baked buns that included taro, tuna, hotdog, pork, and one that I've never seen before, "Steak & Cheese." We had to get one to try. Prices were a little higher than the usual Chinatown fare at $1.50 or $ 1.75 for most of the baked buns. My husband and I split a regular steamed pork bun that was filled with the usual pork filling, hard boiled egg and Chinese sausage that is common among all baos. I'm not sure if it's because we were already ravenous, but the pork bao was pretty good. I'd definitely get another one.

The nice woman told me that she does not have any cakes due to high customer order, but she can make me one if I can wait in 30 minutes.

Everyone in my family enjoyed the cake. Thank you the owners of the bakery who made this cake in a special night.

We walked into a cozy space with seating by the windows, a clean interior, and music playing in the background, with a few small touches that made it feel more like a place to hang out rather than just a quick drink stop. The café has a comfortable, unpretentious energy that fits the neighborhood well, and the layout makes it easy to settle in for a bit. The main draw is the drink menu, with a variety of milk teas, fruit teas, smoothies, and slush-style drinks. We found the drinks solid for satisfying a bubble tea craving, but they leaned more on the sweeter side and did not stand out as much compared to some of the stronger boba spots nearby. The flavors were enjoyable, but the drinks felt a little lighter and less rich than expected, with the tea notes not coming through as strongly as we would have liked. That said, the customization options for sweetness and toppings helped tailor the drinks to our preferences. Beyond drinks, Tea-Do also offers a selection of snacks and small meals. Items like the onigiri and takoyaki added more variety than a typical bubble tea shop, making it a better option if you want something to eat with your drink. The shrimp tempura onigiri was a nice choice for a quick bite, with the rice holding together well and the filling adding a good contrast of texture and flavor. The food menu helps give the café more personality and makes it feel like a more complete stop rather than just a place to grab a drink. Service was friendly, and the atmosphere made it a comfortable place to stop by, especially when we wanted somewhere casual to relax for a bit. The staff were welcoming and handled the flow of orders without delays. The space is not designed for large groups, but it works well for studying, catching up, or taking a break while exploring Lowell. The seating area stays comfortable even when the café is busy, and the energy remains low-key throughout the visit. Tea-Do is a decent neighborhood boba spot that does the basics well. The drinks can satisfy a bubble tea craving, but there are other places with stronger flavors and more memorable drinks. The café atmosphere and food options are what make it worth checking out, offering a casual, comfortable stop that feels more like a local hangout than a dedicated bubble tea destination.

They offer a decent menu with teas, milk teas, specialty drinks, and smoothies. I usually opt for no sugar or low sugar, but even with that, their milk tea and smoothies are just okay. The milk tea, for instance, doesn't have enough tea flavor to balance out, even when I go light on sugar. What I do enjoy, though, are the quick bites, especially the onigiri. It's a great savory option to pair with the drinks. Overall Service: It's fine. I had a quick interaction when I was in person, but I usually order through delivery apps. The food is always packaged really well, with no spillage or mess, which I really appreciate.
