They also offer rotating seasonal menus, I highly recommend the carrot cake latte and date cardamom lattes.

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!

He became obsessed with taking me back for eggs Benedict so we went early for breakfast to beat the weekend crowd, only to order one of today's specials! Which means we have to go back for the Benny. We were greeted warmly, with the server offering a warm mug for our coffee. The cafe is located in a cute farmhouse with both indoor and outdoor seating. Coffee is self serve and once you order you can sit where you'd like. Everything is brought out to you piping hot! Our food was delicious-the Belgian waffle was huge and the stuffed French toast was really stuffed! We look forward to returning soon!

The interior felt bright and airy, with light woods and cream/off-white tones. The space carried a slightly upscale coffee shop feel, but without the snooty third-wave energy of plastering tasting notes and bean origins everywhere. I got a large cold brew ($5.50) and a pour over ($6). At the pour over's price point, I would have expected more than one coffee bean option. Service came across as cordial, with my pour over brought out to the table. The establishment offered free Wi-Fi; even on a Labor Day afternoon, multiple people set up to work.

Was traveling for the weekend and decided to stop here for some breakfast. I was told the owner…read morealso has a gluten allergy so there are always gluten free items on the menu. The service was very good. I wound up getting the gluten free waffle which was delicious. Wouldn't even know it's gluten free. It had a great flavor and texture. I asked if there was fruit to add on it but there was not at the time but the employee was nice enough to offer a raspberry jam as an alternative. They also make and have real maple syrup. I got an iced coffee to drink with oat milk. I enjoyed the coffee. There's street parking. I came on a Sunday so the parking was free. Quaint place. Your order then get a number and sit at a table and they bring your items to you. Just a couple seats outside. They also carried a few gluten free desserts like cookies and brownies and have season banana bread. I'll have to go back and try them another time.

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!!!

I heard some great things about this place from Brazilian friends that live in the area so decided…read moreto check it out for a dessert. 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.

And everyone wears their Pats gear every day of the week. I've seen roadside shops and junk cars just like in Gnaw Bone, Indiana. So here in Lowell I stumble across UMass Lowell and there are yout's and a Starbucks and tall glass buildings. Crossroads Cafe is a little collection of food service shops in a campus building here. The food is pretty good, plenty of selection. I had the River Hawk it was really good. Visitor parking on the side try this place out!

The food at Crossroads Cafe is pretty good. However my first minor complaint is that the menu is…read morepretty limited. My biggest gripe with this place is that the service is very slow and the customer service is pretty bad. I placed an order for pickup and it was lost and never made. Then they told me they'd make it but they just added it to the queue which took an additional 35 minutes! They're pretty slow all the time, even when its not busy. Also they tend to forget details on the order like swapping or excluding items on a sandwich.
