They also offer rotating seasonal menus, I highly recommend the carrot cake latte and date cardamom lattes. I have had salads, grain bowls, sandwiches and açaí bowls... and depending on what you're craving, they hit the spot.

Also the owners and staff are all so friendly and make the environment welcoming and positive!!

If you're a Robusto coffee fan you have to check out this space…read more In a former mill building loaded with interesting artists studios Nibbana offers a wide array of drink options. I went with the Khmae which was Robusto coffee and condensed milk. It was absolutely perfect with that blend of flavor and sweetness you would expect of a Vietnamese style coffee. Didn't get food but I could smell them cooking fresh and great to see the options available for those on SNAP as a way to give back to the community.

super cute cafe in a mill art building! we came to pick up tiny arms coffee (supposedly the best…read morecoffee in the state) and decided to try the coffee here. cash is preferred by the cafe but they take card for a 4.6% upcharge. we got their bacon breakfast sandwiches, the biscoff latte (yummy), and the kafe chek (robusta coffee with banana cream cheese cold foam). both were good, robusta was more earthy than i was expecting but i also have never had it. super yum though! if you're in the area this is a super cute cafe with a little community library and a vibrant arts school right there with artist studios. overall would come back next time when we're in the area!

AMAZING Brazilian snack sized hot foods, dessert, and fresh fruit juices!!!…read more Prices for certain items like the conxinha (Brazilian croquets) for only $3.50 are a crazy deal. The menu items are very rare and hard to find. This place is a gem for sure. So many options to explore, but my faves so far: chicken & cheese coxinha, cural corn pudding, the sweet balls made with condensed milk (forgot what it's called), and the passion fruit juice. Everything is so fresh and delicious! I plan on coming here whenever I'm traveling to MA. This is a must try! Highly recommend!!!

There seemed to be many homeless people hanging out on the street outside the place when we visited. They have a few parking spots and that was good. Place was busy when we walked in and continued to be busy throughout our visit as we decided to have our dessert at the place. Information was written in Portuguese but workers spoke English and were very helpful. I went with a passion fruit mousse. It was very rich and sweet. I had about 1/4 and that was enough for me for the day. I took the rest home to enjoy another time.

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 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.

Welcoming. Relaxing. Delicious. Eclipse is the newest addition to downtown Lowell's cafe scene and…read moreone 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!

Took pics, opened the bag -- no cookie. They were "out of stock" ??? #eyeroll ok whatever. Salad is average size, shredded chicken appeared to be rotisserie. But the real reason for my review: THE CROUTONS ARE PLAIN BREAD THAT TASTES LIKE THEY WERE COOKED IN OLD OIL. Come on. You've got BREAD in your name, and the croutons are literally inedible. If you're a crouton person, stay away. For real. Such a disappointment.
