The barista was very welcoming and she knows her regulars by name which is so cool. The shop is a little hole in the wall with amazing sunlight. A great spot to enjoy your breakfast. We got one sausage and one bacon egg and cheese on English muffins and they make theirs with Swiss cheese. It tasted pretty good. The iced coffee is also great, very smooth flavor and doesn't have that strong aftertaste of coffee beans. Definitely try this place for a quick breakfast! Also I love the packaging for the sandwiches, so cute! read more

Found this little coffee shop when I had to try a case in Superior Court. It's what every coffee shop should be; clean, good coffee, friendly service, and tasty things to eat. It's right next to a parking garage which is very convenient. I would recommend this to anyone. Keep in mind it only has one table and a few seats along the window. They had some sort of cinnamon oatmeal flat cookie thing that was in wax paper and they were absolutely delicious and went perfect with coffee. read more

Real home cooking. Great menu with variety. Reasonable prices. Favorite of locals from Chelmsford and Lowell.

Good food along with good service. Breakfast sandwiches are good, with the irish eggs Benedict on a croissant, my favorite. Parking us simple and easy. read more

Went there at 11am on Tuesday, doors closed and locked, no hours posted. I'll spend my money someplace else.

Simple, straightforward, friendly little cafe. Hot coffee and tea are self-serve, they make a few flavored lattes and iced coffee. The simple menu includes bagels, muffins, and a breakfast sandwich of egg, cheese, and choice of meat on English muffin or bagel for $3.50. My medium/large iced coffee was $2.75, but most drinks and foods were under $2. A couple of nice seats outside or plenty of tables inside. Most guests seem to be lawyers and clerks of the nearby courthouse. It's no frills- just an efficient and friendly little cafe. I wasn't able to find a website, but I did find a Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rosies-Cafe/108451979197523 read more

One of Lowell's little gems, and owned by a local, too! Try the coconut cold brew or one of Rosie's delicious homemade pastries. When you walk in you can see the coffee bean roaster through a pane of glass, so you know the coffee is fresh! The roasted beans are sold here, too. read more

We stumbled upon this place while waiting for the NPS Visitor Center to open. Such welcoming service! We enjoyed the House Blend and Honduras Roast coffees. Rosie was super friendly and hospitable. Support this small business! read more

stopped in for an iced espresso, it was my first time here and i will be back not only for the coffee alone (it was amazing) but also for the owner who was SO sweet and very personable. also grabbed a fig bar and it was delicious, highly recommend. couple spots across the street reserved for parking as well. read more

Stopped here on the way to work, the espresso was surprisingly good, and the toasted sesame bagel was also delicious. The staff welcomed me like an old friend, which is always a nice experience when on business travel. There was sufficient on street parking and a parking garage across the street. My only complaint is the plastic knife I was given to spread the cream cheese wasn't up to the task. However, with patience it did the job. Really a minor inconvenience at most. Others have mentioned the amazing roasted coffee smell, it is true. There seemed to be a variety of brewed coffee available, however, I like to roll dangerous, so I went with plain espresso. As I previously mentioned, it was tasty, even though it was served in an espresso size paper cup. read more

Good coffee and friendly people Stopped in to grab a coffee on my way to a meeting. The people are so friendly, and greeted many customers by name. I would love to have had more time to try something other than coffee, though. read more

I stopped here out of curiosity before my class began, and I was met with an amazing aroma of coffee once I opened that door. I grabbed a cup of dark roast coffee and went to class. As I took my first sip, I immediately thought, "Damn, this coffee is really good." I was extremely thankful to finally find a place that I could grab a good cup of coffee and even a quick breakfast. I love the cheese bagels and the homemade muffins! I had told the woman I thought her coffee was delicious. She told me that all the coffee beans was roasted in the back room. It was a huge machine! Unfortunately, I'm unable to stop by as often as I want to. Luckily, Rosie's cafe sells bags of grinded coffee beans. :) read more

Like someone said earlier; great tea, greater people. I can't believe the price for this quality loose-leaf tea. Pastries are good but the tea is what will make me come back... Actually, the tea and Rosie's conversations. read more

She's simply the best!!! Perfect place to come by and grab an amazing tasting coffee and get back to work. They roast their own coffee in house and it's amazing. And all the staff that work their are super nice and friendly. It's a Lowell staple to stop by and say hi to the legend that is Rosie. read more

I Love Rosie and her coffee. It's not only the coffee, but also her warm cozy vibe definitely make you wanna go back there.

Rosie is a sweetie and really gets to know her clients well. The service is friendly and quick with great selection for coffee and tea flavors. The cost is reasonable and it is always a great way to start a long day at work. Wish they still accepted credit cards, but they do have level up and the back is literally right next store if you need cash. Beats Dunkin' Donuts any day! read more

We've been buying our coffee beans from Peak Coffee Roasters at Rosie's for several years. Quality is great and when we call ahead, she has it ready and waiting to pick up. We usually get several pounds at a time, and we were almost out. Due to our age (70+) and the COVID-19 virus, we got online to see if they could ship us some. Within an hour, Rosie called back and said, "No problem. I'll deliver it". A little while later, the coffee was at our door. Rosie had been in the cafe making sandwiches with her unused ingredients for the homeless shelter! Her kindness and generosity are above and beyond! Thanks so much, Rosie! Love you! read more

Every year I have to come to Lowell for a week long training and actually look forward to it all because of Rosie's! Not only is the coffee fresh but the sandwiches are out of this world. I get their cranberry walnut chicken salad every single day and whatever soup they have. This week I had their Portuguese sausage and kale soup for the first time and was about to snatch the the whole pot to take home. I would totally make the drive if I could every day to grab lunch, it's that good. The two women who work there are also the sweetest humans and very personable. The service is quick and the place is extremely clean! I'm sad that it's my last day of training and will be starting a countdown till the next one so I can get me some Rosie's! read more

I love this place! Great prices, great food & iced coffee not to mention a cozy and friendly atmosphere. The employees are great and even when the place is packed you can always find somewhere to sit with so many different rooms. read more

Love Rosie's! Excellent coffee. Staff is friendly. Cute little shop.

I buy a large bag of coffee once a week from this shop. I mix it up every time I order, all at the owners suggestion. I have not been disappointed in anything she's recommend. I Love the Kenya coffee as well as the Ethiopian. Very clean, cozy, warm and inviting location on the corner of Middlesex and Marston Street downtown Lowell. Beautiful, and very cool, hip building, Rosies Café is a place you want to stop and visit when in lowell. read more

Over the top friendly staff, quick service and fun atmosphere. Food is great, coffee is always refreshed and kept hot in your mug. Weekends are extremely busy and usually a line out the door. Worth the wait. read more

Stopped by after visiting the DMV and was very surprised. The cappuccino was excellent, and the bagels were delicious. Will definitely be coming back! read more

This is my favorite place in Lowell! I send everyone I know there for their iced coffee, which is hands down the best I've had. Their service is the reason I have been going there for 10 years though. With seating inside and out, there's no place better around! read more

I do not live in the area and happen to stop into Rosie's Diner this morning when I was early for an appointment in the area. I am so glad I did. The food was great, I had an omelette and it was cooked perfectly, not overdone and dry, and I'm picky! Not only that, every person who works there was great, extremely nice and efficient. I wish I lived closer and could go on a regular basis. Thanks Rosie! read more
